Director Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fantastic platform for promoting wellbeing and team spirit" October 9, 2025 5.0 We used GoVida for our local football team to raise money for charity, and it was a brilliant experience from start to finish. The platform is incredibly easy to use, packed with engaging content, and the leaderboards added a fun, competitive edge that really motivated everyone to get moving. Connecting our fitness apps like Strava, Garmin, and Fitbit was seamless, ensuring all our activities were captured accurately. The addition of cycling features alongside step tracking was also a great bonus. I’d highly recommend GoVida to any organisation wanting to champion mental health, wellbeing, and teamwork through an enjoyable and inclusive activity challenge. Pros GoVida is really easy to use and full of engaging content that keeps everyone motivated. The leaderboards added a fun competitive element, and connecting fitness apps like Strava, Garmin, and Fitbit was seamless. The cycling features were a great addition alongside step tracking, and the customer service team were incredibly efficient and supportive when getting everything set up. Cons We didn’t encounter any drawbacks. Everything worked smoothly and the platform delivered exactly what we needed. Review Source DR Dean R. Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "GoVida GoGreat" October 9, 2025 5.0 Really positive and we will definitely use them again - raised a load of money for our charity partners and got the whole group working hard towards and challenging target. Pros Really easy to understand and use. Great updates from the team to lets us know how we were doing and what we needed to do. Most of all it was fun - which kept the kids involved and we raised a lot of money for a very good cause. Well done Govida! Cons Hard to criticise- it was a challenge getting the kids connected but that is just a general issue with wearable tech for kids. Govida soon sorted it all out with clear instructions and help when needed. Review Source SB Sam B. Head of Junior Football Sports Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Highly Recommend! Brilliant for corporate wellbeing. " October 9, 2025 5.0 Our organisation used it for a charity competition, all stakeholders were involved along with employees. The app created a sense of community and a buzz around our business, with the cause for Ollie’s Army being at the heart of this. Overall everyone’s experience was very positive, general health was improved with steps being tracked for competition! Pros The easy navigation of the app, with extensive rewards and access to physical and mental health resources. Cons Very little, rewards were challenging while still achievable. The app is visually a little dated and blocky but runs smoothly and still very clear. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer RevOps Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great way to keep an active lifestyle as a priority. " July 12, 2022 5.0 It's really easy to use the app and redeem points. I also like how it has worked in the CoE courses. They are super high value (IE not very hard to get into but extremely insightful and informative) and it all comes from navigating the app and chasing points. Of course, the points are nice but it has opened doors to discovering the true benefits of the service which is health and wellness in the workplace. Pros I already use whoop, and since that writes to health that automatically registers to the app if you allow those permissions, though the whoop doesn't track steps so this fills a gap for me as an individual user. It is also fun to see how others are doing on the leaderboard feature. Cons I would like the time frames of the challenges to count for all day and then retroactively count activity. For example, if you are like me and you don't look at the app until the end of the day, a challenge may have ended earlier in the day. I walk to work many days, so I will often go the whole day and 10k steps until I realize I never started a new challenge until I get home to check my progress. It would be nice for me at this point to be able to start the "day challenge" and have it look back at the whole day, not an exact 24hour window. Review Source ST Stephen T. GP Partner Medical Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "GoVida is a fantastic App that has improved the mental and physical wellbeing of our staff" June 3, 2020 5.0 Data has shown that the App has increased the walking distance of our staff members by 23%. The majority of staff using it, engage with the App everyday and it has helped boost staff morale and wellbeing. Pros I have enjoyed working as GP for 15 years now in Manchester. During this time I have witnessed how unhealthy lifestyles and behaviours increase the risk of developing chronic diseases.​ I chose general practice as my field of medicine, because of the ability to focus on preventative medicine. Being well aware of this, I was looking for something that could help promote lifestyle and behaviour changes for our staff, as small, sustained, lifestyle changes over time, can all add up to huge physical and wellbeing benefits. We are one of the largest practices in Manchester with just over 40 employees. That is why the GoVida App has impressed me so much, as it has helped our staff members facilitate these changes and provided added motivation through the earning of rewards, a sense of teamwork and camaraderie with colleagues and the ability to earn money for worthy causes. By focusing holistically on both physical and mental health it promotes balance and wellbeing, which not only benefits the user, but those that surround them - eg family, work colleagues. The software looks great, can be personalised and is easy to use and navigate around. There is the option to link activity wearables - eg Apple watches, FitBits. The mindfulness meditations are excellent too, and reward points can be earnt by completing these. The developers are continuously adding new functionality to the App - eg new rewards / live Zoom Yoga and Pilates sessions / new Mindfulness meditations. Cons Unable to link Garmin wearables, which some of our staff members have - but I am informed that this is being worked on by the developers, so may be an added feature soon. Reason for choosing GoVida I did look at some alternative apps - but only GoVida provided rewards for engagement with the app in response to hitting activity and meditation targets. I felt that this would give our staff members added motivation. I also read positive reviews from some other companies that were using the App. Review Source AE Amanda E. Head of Business Development Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Fantastic Wellbeing App" July 1, 2022 5.0 Employee wellbeing is important to us, and to me personally. We actively promote the app in-house and encourage staff to participate with rewards. We hold regular company competitions to drive healthy behaviour and this has an additional benefit of team bonding. Our last in-house contest saw our overall steps rise by over 55% Pros I'm competitive, even with myself, so I use the app to track my step progress and compete against my colleagues. I really enjoy the in-house competitions we run. The mindfulness sessions are very informative so I listen to those almost daily too. Cons A couple of times my steps didn't sync but I contacted customer service and it was sorted out immediately Review Source LD Lauren D. HR Manager Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Go Vida - great addition to our wellbeing program" August 11, 2023 5.0 Go Vida is an excellent addition to our wellbeing program. It allows employees to personalise their wellbeing journey and get rewarded along the way. The team challenges are great addition that encourages collaboration across teams whilst promoting wellbeing. Pros I like that it tracks a variety of wellbeing activities which makes it an inclusive app for all our employees. Cons Nothing it's great - the app can be tailored to your business needs through rewards available, challenges etc. Review Source AL Anna L. Dentist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing wellbeing app for your team" February 8, 2024 5.0 Really pleased with it’s introduction to our team-they have all engaged and activated/used the app Pros It’s ability to reward your team and encourage healthy behaviours Cons Occasional issues for linking some tech but support has always been available and able to rectify Review Source LC Lauren C. Assistant Manager Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "GoVida Review" August 11, 2023 4.0 Really positive, the team at GoVida are great and a pleasure to work with Pros 1\. The team and support at GoVida are great, there are friendly, knowledgeable and prompt at getting back to you2. App tackles well-being from lots of different angles 3. Integrates with third party trackers4. Automated vouchers is a good new feature which takes the admin away5. Help setting up challenges Cons 1\. Admin portal is not very user friendly - quite manual to set up teams / and reports you can run can be quite basic2. More functionality and flexibility with types of challenges would be good to have somethingn new rather than steps and points3. Sometimes issues re funds and the billing and making sure we have enough float Reason for choosing GoVida Lots of different well-being aspects into 1 Review Source MH Max H. Accounts Assistant Textiles Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Max Hind " September 18, 2023 5.0 My overall experience has been very good. I've been able to build up a good amount of points which has then rewarded me with days off work/retail vouchers. Pros The app is very simple and easy to navigate your way around, with it taking no longer than 30 seconds to log into and accept the challenges. Cons Sometimes the screens take a while to refresh/load up. Review Source SL Simon L. Dental practice owner Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Win win for us as employers and for our team!" February 23, 2024 5.0 It’s been great, and we’ve recommended the product to lots of other businesses in our sector to support their teams. Pros It encourages all of our team to make time for keeping active and add some fun and prizes to this too which helps keeps things fresh. Cons Took a while to ensure everyone was onboarded, but fine once everyone was signed up and happy Review Source AD Angela D. Senior Client Coordinator Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great App, good rewards and easy and simple to use!" September 15, 2020 5.0 As a user I've found this great to encourage me to be more fit and active and to push myself to get those extra steps to either hit a challenge or meet a target. Having visibility over the amount of movement is a great tool to encourage this. I think it is great the company has implemented this given the role is predominantly inactive. I have also enjoyed the team challenges set up, especially in lock down. Pros I have found this app great, and during lock down it really has encouraged me to be more fit and active. This has been great to compete in the team challenges we have done encouraging people to get involved and adding in some competitiveness! I love the app and frequently complete the daily challenge, 3 day challenge and marathon weekly challenge. The rewards are good which is good to work towards for a goal. The App is simple to use, and now that it can sync with Fitbit it is absolutely ideal as means i can head out for a walk and don't necessarily need to even have my phone with me. Cons Prior to the App being able to sync to Fitbit i found it quite restrictive and it wasn't a correct reflection of my movement and steps, as i often do not have my phone with me. Since this has been resolved it has been great. I have one instance where it would no longer work and sync, however the App team were quick to resolve and it was a painless process.

Pros This app enables peers, co-workers across the organization to take-up challenges and promotes healthy competition. Has facilitated team bounding as well as motivated the teams to remain healthy and mindful. The meditation and leaderboard features were instrumental in helping adapt to the #newnormal during Covid19 lockdown. The feature to redeem points for discounts and charity help contribute to the community and local businesses as well. Cons Live playlist and a route map showing the daily jog pattern Alternatives considered [CALMS](https://www.capterra.com/p/141964/CALMS/) Review Source Response from GoVida June 24, 2020 Thanks Athang for your feedback and feature suggestions.

You get rewards without even realising , by going about your everyday life , as simple as walking and cycling. There is something for everyone in this app. From exercise classes , aid to help with sleeping better and anxiety. You can even complete a mindfulness diploma for FREE. My favourite part of the app is the mind section. I use this daily and believe me this is something I never thought would help me. The improve sleep section really helps me. My other favourite id the Relaxation section. Pros It is very easy to use. Great layout. My favourite section is the mind section. Cons I love everything about it. I can not say anything that I do not like about it. Review Source JB John B. Director Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Wellbeing Enabler and Motivator " January 29, 2021 5.0 A fantastic app that helps motivate and promote a more active lifestyles as well as other personal development attributes; also the inter-team challenges and leaderboard and dashboards definitely leads to an increase awareness and focus of ongoing wellbeing - the best Wellbeing App for inclusion in a Corporate Wellbeing Strategy. Pros The overall objective to keep fit and healthy but without pressure, rather through fun and friendly team competition, equitably catering for all levels of physical fitness. A significant attraction is earning GoVida Rewards Points through tracking of step, attending wellbeing venues, attending mindfulness courses, online fitness sessions and attending specific challenges and redeeming these against a spectrum of rewards offerings, both Company Internal and externally, including charities. The Holistic nature of the content covering Physical, Mental and Lifestyle, which integrates well with Health Apps on most wearables to give an all-round daily, week and annual summary of activities and achievement. A very easy to enable and use Wellbeing Ap - stimulating even people who are not typically active, to join in and have fun - and get fitter! Cons The absence of sleep tracking data - although I believe this is coming soon. Review Source RH Rachel H. Audit Trainee Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "GoVida " September 14, 2020 4.0 In terms of any technical issues when using GoVida, the user support has been brilliant. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] has replied on the same day and found a solution for the issues I have encountered. Pros By logging onto GoVida daily it encourages me to be physically active. It acts as a reminder to ensure that I get steps in each day, as it is easy to go a whole day without walking with a desk job. Since using the app there has been a marked increase in my average number of steps. The challenges within the app are a great feature, as bonus points can be earned by maintaining physical activity (e.g. "Checking in" at a wellbeing venue 3 times a week). This feature helps to create routine and positive wellbeing habits. Cons A downside of the app is the way in which it syncs with google fit. In order for data from another fitness app/fitbit to be recognised involves syncing the third party app, then google fit and finally GoVida. If GoVida is synced first, not all of the data is captured. This means that on occasions the app has not recognised all my steps, and subsequently miss out on the extra points. It would be great if the app could sync directly to other third party fitness apps. Review Source CQ Collin Q. Resident Director Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "GoVida Unites our Staff!" July 20, 2022 4.0 Very good! Love how it brings our staff together and creates a fun atmosphere of competition Pros Excellent displays used to show health data and step analysis. During team challenges everything is organized beautifully in the app and it is clear and easy how to use/track activity Cons I am very tall (2 meters) and although I may walk the exact same distance as someone 1.5 meters, I have far fewer steps than they do. This puts me at a disadvantage during walking challenges. I should be rewarded for distance walked vs steps taken. Perhaps there should be a way in the app for it to know my height and then adjust accordingly Review Source HJ Hayley J. Clinical management Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Motivational" February 11, 2024 5.0 Very positive so far, the GoVida team are very quick to help if you need any guidance. Lots of different rewards to choose from. Pros It motivates the team and promotes healthy competition, to increase fitness and wellbeing. Cons At first I thought my watch wouldn’t sync, as it’s a less known brand. But Govida helped with getting the information for my fitness tracker and it now all works well? No complaints. Review Source LM Lisa M. Regional Mgr Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "GoVida Review" September 20, 2023 4.0 I enjoy it, I would say I am even addicted to it, I would estimate my steps have doubled since using this app. Pros The competition with colleagues motivates me to increase my step count. Cons Difficulty in syncing with the Garmin app. Review Source KH Katherine H. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "GoVida helps during Pandemic " July 6, 2022 4.0 Kept me fit and energetic when social isolation happened so it was nice app! Pros It was easy to use and it was fun as my whole university was able to be part of a community even during covid by joining the competition Cons I would like it to connect to more android watches so I don't have to carry phone around for steps. Review Source PP Peter P. Group CEO Market Research Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The best physical and mental wellbeing app in the market place." June 9, 2021 5.0 The team at GoVida have been fantastic through out. The implementation was seemless and pain free which has proven with over 80% engagement. Pros The application has all the features needed to keep staff motivated and engaged. to date we have run a couple of team challenges through the app with great success. The engagement in these challenges were far higher than any other team event we have run so far!. We have collages all around the world and the app allowed us to run team events where everyone get get involved. Cons I would love to see a swimming added to the tracking. Reason for choosing GoVida GoVida is provides all the features and services provided in one simple application. On research we found that there is one app for mind wellbeing, one app for physical wellbeing and apps for reward and recognition. Govida provides a total solution in one app. Review Source ST Suzanne T.

On a personal note it has helped to encourage me to hit my daily steps goals and create a new daily meditation practice. Cons It’s very simple and intuitive to use.

Senior Customer Merchandiser Textiles Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great app" October 5, 2022 5.0 Pros The app has been brilliant in helping support my fitness goals and rewarding my progress. The app works seamlessly with my fitbit and on the rare occasion a minor issue is raised, it is dealt with quickly by the GoVida team. I highly recommend this app to all businesses. Cons The data doesn't immediately automatically update when using the app, however this isn't an issue for me Review Source MS Mark S. Joint Managing Director Consumer Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Wellness and Team Building" July 6, 2020 5.0 One of the stand out impacts is the popularity of the application and discussion points it brings. Since the launch we have also used the platform to drive our internal wellbeing initiatives and have found this has increased engagement with these events/activities. The customer support has been first class too. Pros We were looking for a way to drive our employee wellness message and liked the GoVida concept. The platform is very popular among colleagues. As well as encouraging positive wellbeing activities it has proven to be an excellent tool for team building and engagement. During the recent lockdown period it helped keep our remote working teams stay connected as well as providing mental health support. Cons Having personally taken up cycling recently I would like to be able to track my cycling distance through the app. I have chatted with the founders and I believe this is on the product road map and we have seen regular new feature additions since we implemented GoVida.
