Y-MVP Planning for Scale

September 2, 2014

What is the Y-MVP

Teen Fitness Challenge?

Y-MVP is an innovative eight-week training

program that uses game-like activities to help

teens (middle school and high school) become

and stay physically active.

The program includes an app to track workout

progress, and a digital badge system that

moves teens along a clear path to achieving

goals and increasing levels of Moderate to

Vigorous Physical activity.

What is the Y-MVP

Teen Fitness Challenge?

Teens earn achievement badges by participating in a 90-

minute in class “quest” with a coach once a week for

eight weeks, and completing weekly 60-minute

“missions” in between classes during teen fitness hours.

Teens can level up to a free Y-MVP teen membership by

earning a minimum of 50% of the 8 achievement badges.

The Y-MVP app is accessed via iPad kiosks in the

branch. Teens log into the app using a username and a

password. The Y-MVP coach will help teens create their

accounts.
