What is the "Commute to Work" feature and how does it work?

How does the "Commute to Work" goal work?

Commuting to work is a goal that resets daily. This means that:

Just 1 completed ride or walk per day is enough to complete the goal for that day.
Each approved commute boosts your statistics and supports your company’s competition.

What conditions must your activity meet?

The Move Republic app distinguishes a regular recreational workout from an actual commute to a destination. For a route to be properly classified as a commute to work, it must meet the following criteria:

1. Route from point A to point B

The activity must have a distinct start and finish in different places – the system verifies the recorded arrival location.
Looped workouts (e.g. start and finish at home after doing a lap around the neighborhood) will not be recognized as a commute.

2. Allowed discipline

Depending on the rules of the challenge or program in your company, a commute can be completed in two ways:

▪ On wheels: traditional bike, rollerblades, scooter.
▪ On foot: walk, brisk walk, or run.

(Some challenges reward both of these forms, others focus solely on cyclists – check the details in the challenge description in the app).

3. Minimum distance

Your route must exceed the minimum distance threshold specified in the given challenge edition (most often a minimum of 500 m or 1000 m). Shorter distances will not be counted.

How to properly record a commute?

1. Turn on GPS activity tracking – you can do this in two ways:

Directly in Move Republic: start route recording in the app before setting off.
Via a connected app or sports watch (e.g. Garmin, Apple Health, Google Health Connect): this is an integration that allows you to automatically transfer your workouts recorded with a smartwatch or another app directly to your Move Republic account.

2. Choose the appropriate category: cycling, running, or walking.

3. Complete the route straight to your workplace and finish recording only after reaching your destination.

4. After ending the session, the app will check the route and automatically credit your daily commute goal.

Active commuting is a great way to combine everyday responsibilities with healthy movement and eco-friendly habits. In Move Republic, commutes function as special daily goals in active company programs or corporate challenges.
