I want an exclusive Pokémon-themed collectible kit?

In celebration of the fifth year of the National Steps ChallengeTM, we will also be paying special tribute to the Challenge’s loyal supporters (i.e. those who have joined all four previous seasons of the National Steps ChallengeTM), as well as all Completers (i.e. those who completed the sixth Reward Tier of the Steps category by 31 March 2019). An exclusive Pokémon-themed collectible kit will be given to these participants to appreciate their support for the Challenge and to encourage them to continue in their active lifestyle.

Who is eligible for the free HPB fitness tracker?

The free HPB fitness tracker is available to all Singaporeans and Permanent Residents

who signed up for the National Steps ChallengeTM Season 5 and have not collected the

HPB fitness tracker in Season 4. Participants must be aged 17 years and above (based

on birth year) at the point of registration. The free HPB fitness tracker is provided on a

first-come, first-served, while stocks last basis. Silver Challenge participants who are

Singaporeans or Permanent Residents will be able to collect an exclusive Silver

Challenge fitness straps with a pair of limited edition straps on a first-come, first-served,

while stocks last basis. This is regardless of whether they have collected HPB fitness

tracker in Season 4. Silver Challenge participants will not be able to collect the Season 5

HPB fitness trackers.

Mr Tan collected his free HPB fitness tracker in Season 3. He collected another free

HPB fitness tracker in Season 4. He will not be eligible to collect in Season 5.

Example 2

Madam Teo collected her free HPB fitness tracker in Season 3. As she had a fall last

year, she decided not to sign up for Season 4, hence she did not collect the free tracker

in Season 4. She will be eligible to collect in Season 5 if she signs up.

Example 3

Ms Chan collected her free HPB fitness tracker in Season 2. She was not eligible to

collect in Season 3, hence she bought her own compatible fitness tracker and

participated in Season 3. She continued to use her own fitness tracker in Season 4 as

it could track heart rate, hence she did not collect the free HPB fitness tracker in Season

4. She will be eligible to collect the free HPB fitness tracker in Season 5 if she signs up.

Example 4

Mrs Shahrin is 76 years old and has signed up for the Silver Challenge. She has

collected a HPB fitness tracker last year, at one of the community roadshows. She is

still eligible to collect the Silver Challenge fitness tracker in Season 5.

Example 5

Mr Yong is 68 years old and has signed up for the Silver Challenge. He is also a new

participant of the National Steps ChallengeTM.However, Mr Yong is on employment pass

and is not a Singaporean or Permanent Resident of Singapore. While he can sign up

for and participate in both the National Steps ChallengeTM Season 5 and the Silver

Challenge, he will not be eligible to collect the Silver Challenge fitness tracker nor the

HPB fitness tracker issued in Season 5.

HPB fitness trackers may be collected on behalf if they have already signed up on the Healthy 365 mobile app and have not collected a HPB fitness tracker in Season 4.
