Like most initiatives , the 2020 Discover Wellness Challenge felt the effects of COVID-19 . With fitness centres and swimming pools having to close their doors to the public and group fitness classes being put on hold , Wellness Challenge participants had to come up with new ways to stay active and log their minutes in . ARTA members proved to be resilient , and participants found new ways to get their hearts pumping . The participation forms came rolling in , and a total of 756,349 minutes spent on a physical activity were tracked throughout the challenge .
