How to choose a walking team name

Walking is the most accessible exercise there is, and the American Heart Association champions team step challenges for workplace wellness. A standout name keeps the steps coming. The names I keep share a few traits:

  • Pun on steps and soles. Sole, step, and stride are walking-name goldmines.
  • Keep it motivating. The best names make people want to take the stairs.
  • Make it chant-able. You’ll use it in the challenge group chat daily.
  • Keep it short. Snappy names fit a leaderboard and a shirt.
  • Make it your own. Add your office, cause, or step goal.

What makes a great team name

Walking names lean on feet and steps, which is why The Sole Mates and Step It Up land instantly. Before I commit, I picture the name on a challenge leaderboard, a group chat, and a charity-walk shirt. A name that lands across all three contexts is a keeper. Anchoring it to your office or cause helps; with so many step challenges backed by health bodies like the CDC’s physical activity program, a name that captures your group’s goal keeps everyone stepping.

How to brainstorm your own team name

Need to wrap up the naming conversation? Here’s my method. I list walking words, step, sole, stride, pace, feet, then a goal and an inside joke. Mash a walking word into one of them: ‘The Sole Mates,’ ‘Step It Up,’ and ‘The Walkie Talkies’ all came that way. For a workplace challenge, I add the department name. I make ten, read them to the group, and the most motivating one wins.

Make any name your own

To make a name your own:

  • Add your office or step goal. ‘The Floor 2 10K Club’ feels like a real challenge team.
  • Pun on soles and steps. The Sole Mates and Step It Up write themselves.
  • Name your cause. Charity walks love a purpose-driven name.
  • Pick a one-worder. Stride and Pacers need nothing else.
