Intro – How I Reached Diamond Status in 2025

Diamond status is a top-tier achievement in the Vitality program, offering the most significant rewards and benefits. To achieve Diamond status in Discovery Vitality, you need to earn a minimum of 50,000 Vitality points in a year. This is typically achieved through a combination of physical activity, health checks and potentially eating healthier.

There are different ways one can reach Diamond Status. Here’s how I did it:

900 Points Weekly Goal

Vitality set my Vitality Active Rewards weekly goal at 900 points. On a workout session I always try and reach 300 Vitality Active Rewards. I workout 3-5 days a week. This means I get between 900 and 1500 Vitality Active Rewards every week. Workout sessions include walking, rucking, sessions at home with weights and gym sessions (I only attend gym twice a week).

Health Checks and Assessments

Finding out my Vitality Age: 1500 points.

Vitality Health Check (cholesterol, glucose, weight, blood pressure): 15000 points.

Please note: I was penalised because my ‘random glucose’ was 7.8 mmol/l and the goal being less than 7.8 mmol/l. Well… I had just had breakfast before doing the tests. TIP: Do the Vitality Health Check 1-2 hours following a meal. If you have the test immediately after a meal your glucose will probably be too high and not representative.

Screening and Prevention

Vision Test: 1000 points.
I had my eyes checked for Glaucoma: 2500 points.
Voluntary counselling and testing for HIV – HIV negative: 1000 points (HIV testing formed part of the Vitality Health Check).
