Fitbits and Apple Watches are cool, but let’s face it, they’re not really unique. Custom pedometers are unique to your brand.
Custom pedometers are wonderful gifts for medical centers, schools, athletes, gyms, and many others. Here’s how to customize yours so they look great and motivate people to get moving!
Order custom pedometers for…
Gyms & Personal Trainers
New clients aren’t going to run 3 miles right away, but walking with pedometers and recording the steps is a good start. Give the pedometers away as free promo items to anyone who signs up for personal training sessions.
Athletes
It can be tough to keep young athletes on track, especially if they’re in a sport or activity that requires careful weight monitoring like wrestling, ballet, gymnastics, or football. To make it easier, try handing out pedometers printed with your team’s logo or mascot at the beginning of the season.
Hiking Trails
People who visit your trail will be curious to see how many steps they accrued during the hike. Sell pedometers in your gift shop that can be purchased before they get going.
Physical Therapists
After a surgery or accident, your patients need to slowly get their muscles and bones used to movement again. Try using a pedometer and recording steps during rehab, so they can feel encouraged by their progress week after week.
Nursing & Assisted Living Homes
You don’t want the residents in your nursing or assisted living home to sit around all day. Start a walking club, and hand out pedometers to anyone who is interested in getting involved.
Colleges
Avoid the dreaded “freshman 15” by offering custom pedometers in your bookstore. Students and professors will love pedometers in your school colors. You can even host a walking challenge as a campus event!
Charity Walks
Are you in need of a fundraising idea? Set up a “Step for a Cause” event and promise donations for a certain number of steps reached. All the participants can wear pedometers and then you can add the numbers together when they’ve crossed the finish line.
Employee Gifts
Sitting at a desk for an extended time is associated with obesity, increased blood pressure, and higher risk for cardiovascular disease. Do you work in an office or have a remote team? Motivate your employees to get in more cardio by giving them branded pedometers.
Custom Pedometers Design Tips
- Decide between wrist or waist pedometers.
- Choose a color scheme.
- Print a good design on front.
Tip 1. Decide Between Wrist or Waist Pedometers
A waist pedometer looks very similar to old-school pagers that your dad may have clipped to his belt in the 90s. These pedometers have an LCD screen that shows your step count.
Wrist pedometers, on the other hand, look just like a watch or a wearable fitness tracker like a Fitbit. They’re closer to fashion accessories and can be very trendy if they’re in a bold colorful or printed with a cool pattern.
Wrist Pedometers
A wrist pedometer is a wearable bracelet that counts your daily steps. The benefit in using one is you can easily peek down at the numbers as you’re doing a cardio exercise, monitoring your progress in real-time.

Waist Pedometers
A waist pedometer is a fitness tracker that clips to your hip or pocket. The benefit in using one is you can focus on the cardio and not get distracted by the numbers.

Wrist pedometers are good for people who are deep in their fitness regimen, whereas waist pedometers are good for starters. Think about which style works best for your needs!
Tip 2. Choose a Color Scheme
With the right color scheme, your custom pedometers will look just as cool as the latest tech gadget. Here are some ideas!
Bright & Vibrant
Bright, vibrant pedometers are great if you need safety items for people who walk on busy streets. You can also match the color to your company’s logo or to the event you’re hosting, such as orange pedometers for a Halloween 5K!
Sophisticated & Sleek
A silver and black color combo is a simple look that gets the job done. These pedometers follow the same palette as expensive tech gadgets, making them seem like a luxury purchase, but for only a fraction of the price.
Monochrome
Choose the same color family for the pedometers and your logo. This is a particularly good idea for brands who are known for their distinct color like pink for Victoria’s Secret or red for Coca-Cola.
Tip 3. Print a Good Design on Front
Your custom pedometers should have something to say! Print any of the following on the front:
Logo & Brand Name
Motivational Quote
Slogan
Clipart Image
Monogram
Other Considerations for Buying Custom Pedometers
Carrying Case
You can find pedometers that come with a clear carrying case. This might be a good option if you’re traveling, so you don’t have to worry about them breaking in transit.
Ink Color
Custom pedometers are screen printed, which means only 1 free ink color is included for the decoration. Luckily, that’s all you really need to make them look amazing!
Batteries
Button cell batteries are included with an order of custom pedometers. These are replaceable, but the back of the fitness tracker needs to be removed with a screwdriver.
Snap Button or Buckle
Are you interested in wrist pedometers? The fitness tracker will fit around either with a buckle or a snap button. Keep that in mind so you choose something comfortable for everyone to wear.
Minimum
The minimum for an order will be anywhere from 30 to 250 pedometers. The average is 100 pedometers, so if you need a small quantity, be sure to look at all your options ahead of time.
Price
Pedometers are very budget-friendly promotional items. In fact, you can find stylish custom pedometers that cost a little over $1 each.
Try Custom Pedometers
Nearly 50% of Americans want to exercise, but feel as though they don’t have the time. You can help them take that first step by handing out custom pedometers!
