15 Stridekick Team Names That Are So Good You’ll Forget You Still Have to Exercise

Show off your creative side with Stridekick’s Team Leaderboard mode

Let’s be honest, when you're gearing up for a Team Leaderboard challenge on Stridekick, picking the right name is almost as important as hitting your step goal. The right team name unites your crew, keeps the motivation high, and lets the competition know you came to play... or at least to try your best!

But what exactly is a Team Leaderboard challenge?

How Stridekick’s Team Leaderboard Mode Works

Stridekick’s Team Leaderboard mode is a feature that allows participants to compete in groups (not just as individuals) based on steps, distance, or active minutes. Whether you’re challenging your family, organizing a wellness competition, or gathering your friends for some casual smack talk, team challenges bring a new level of fun and connection to your fitness goals.

Some of the benefits of team challenges include:

  1. Taking the pressure off of individuals
    In an individual leaderboard, it can feel demoralizing if you're stuck at the bottom, especially when the top spot seems out of reach. With teams, even if you’re not the highest mover, you’re still contributing to a group win. Everyone’s effort matters, and that keeps motivation up for all participants.
  2. Building camaraderie
    Nothing brings people together like a little friendly competition. Whether you're bonding over sore legs, motivational memes, or step-count strategy, team challenges create connection and accountability in the best way.
  3. Highlighting your creativity
    A clever team name is basically your fitness alter ego. Funny, punny, or way too chaotic, a good name sets the tone and instantly makes your challenge more fun!

So, whether you're a pun lover, a pop culture junkie, or just trying to distract yourself from the fact that your legs are still sore from your last activity, we've got you covered. 

Here’s 15 top tier Stridekick team names that, at the very least, will make your group chat 15% more entertaining.

15 Stridekick Team Names

1. Forrest Grumps
We run like Forrest, but we complain the whole way. We might not run all the way across the country, but we definitely have opinions about it—and we're not afraid to air them in the group chat.

2. Mission: Impaceable
Your mission, should you choose to accept it: never stop stepping. With more coordination than a spy movie montage and just enough hydration to survive, your gains will be the one thing that is very possible.

3. Step Brothers
Did we just become best friends? This one is self-explanatory, but if you play your cards right, you’ll be stepping all the way to the freaking Catalina Wine Mixer!!!

4. Ctrl+Alt+Defeet
Because even the most tech-savvy teams need to unplug, lace up, and power-walk away from their keyboards. We’ll leave it up to you whether you want to spell it “defeet” or “defeat”...

5. The Walking Dread
You know the feeling. You just hit mile 4 and you are not in good enough shape yet. You might as well be a zombie stumbling down the street. Now you get it…

6. Clock Blockers
This one is not a reference to anything. Do not look it up if you are confused. This is simply about tracking active time with the Stridekick app. That’s all!

7. The Stepfather
The ultimate tough-love team name. Expect gentle judgment, sarcastic encouragement, and a surprisingly strong showing on the leaderboard???

8. Chafing the Dream
Fueled by ambition... and medicated powder. This team runs on grit, goals, and Gold Bond. They're dreamers with determination, and a full first-aid kit..

9. Run Like the Winded
Endurance? Meh. Entertainment value? Neverending. They’re not the fastest team on the block, but definitely the most out of breath.

10. Pimp My Stride
We may not be able to install a television into your sneakers, but this team shows up in style, and always finishes with flair.

11. Stair Wars
Whether you're a Jedi or just climbing to avoid the elevator, this team is all about epic battles and even more epic step counts. The Fitbit Awakens…

12. The Sore Losers
We're not bitter, we're just very, very tight in the quads. The post-leg-day pain is real, but quitting isn’t in our vocabulary. Whining, however, definitely is.

13. Lord of the Reps
One challenge to rule them all. With Frodo-like determination and Gandalf-level leadership, this team is on a quest for gains and precious leaderboard domination.

14. The Pace Invaders
This one is only for those with endurance that is out of this world. You don’t have to be an alien, but what you’re doing is definitely other-worldly.

15. Walkaholics Anonymous
We have a problem, and it’s 10,000 steps a day. If walking was a crime, this team would already be serving life…
