Something to be aware of is that people with disabilities, in particular hidden disabilities, may not appreciate a Slack bot that brings their physical activity into a Slack channel. An opt-in mechanism would go over better than an @channel.
thank you for bring it up. we have a lot of activities there and always adding more per user request.

we currently have meditation, yoga, dips, run, water, pushups, handstands, squats, lunges, pullups, curls, cleans, plank, walking, swimming, biking and standing desk

Something to be aware of is that people with digestion disabilities, in particular hidden digestion disabilities, may not appreciate a McDonald's commercial that brings their digestive disability into a TV channel.
so if you opt for a personal reminder, you activities will only be visible to you
we also have support private channels, personal messages and public channels.
You work hard. Take 20 seconds to stand up and stretch. You can do anything! Do a pushup, squat, jump, or walk to the water cooler.

Whatever you do, invite your team. It is more fun together.
