Setting Up Teams for the Safeway Fitness Challenges
Why Set Up Your Own SparkTeam?
SparkTeams are a great way for you to get together with a few friends or co-workers on InsideTrack.

You can use your own InsideTrack SparkTeam to:
  • Set team goals
  • Compare Fitness Minutes
  • Compare SparkPoints
  • Send messages
  • Share articles, recipes, or information
  • Start discussions with team members on the online forum
  • And much more
You’ve been automatically enrolled in the Safeway SparkTeam, and you’re able to enroll in as many SparkTeams as you like.

To Start a New SparkTeam
Set up your own SparkTeam now for your friends or co-workers to work together and achieve your fitness goals!

Some tips for setting up your new SparkTeam:
  1. SparkTeam Name: Pick a useful, descriptive name so others can quickly identify your SparkTeam, such as "Salty Snackers" or "Competitive CSD".
  2. SparkTeam Type: This will already be defaulted to be a Safeway team for you so you don’t need to change anything.
  3. Secondary Type: Leave blank
  4. SparkTeam Description: Enter a brief description of your SparkTeam. This is a good place to explain why your SparkTeam is using InsideTrack.
  5. Public or Private SparkTeam Access: This refers to whether you want anyone to freely join your SparkTeam (Public) or whether members must be invited (Private). Select the "Private SparkTeam" radio button. After setting up your SparkTeam, you’ll use the "Invite Member" button to invite your friends to join.
  6. Appear on Leaderboards: Leaderboards are a fun way to compete against other SparkTeams. However, every SparkTeam might not want to be on the Leaderboards, so a team’s appearance is optional. You may select which option you prefer for your team.
  7. SparkTeam URL: Re-type your SparkTeam’s name. This will make your SparkTeam’s web page be easier to find.
  8. Click the "Create SparkTeam" button
  9. Build your team: On the next page, you can start building your team by clicking the "Invite Others to Team" button. Enter their email address or InsideTrack username to send them an invitation.
  10. Congratulations! You’re now ready to work together with your individual personalized SparkTeam towards your goals! Help each other stay up to date on recording Fitness Minutes, check out new exercises or articles, and learn more about staying healthy!
