How long are workouts on Moves?
Most workouts on Moves range from 30–60 minutes, depending on the program and format.
In programs like Weekly Moves and Move Together, you’ll often see our 30/60 option, which gives you flexibility based on your schedule.
30-minute workouts focus on the most important movements first, so you can get an effective workout even when time is tight
60-minute workouts build on that foundation with additional volume, detail, and intensity
This allows you to choose what works best for your day—without losing progress.
What if I only have 30 minutes?
That’s exactly what the program is designed for.
Our workouts are intentionally structured so that the most important lifts and exercises come first. That means even if you need to stop early, you’ve already completed the most impactful part of the workout.
Short on time? You can always:
Reduce reps
Skip or shorten later rounds
End after the main strength portion
You’re still getting meaningful work in.
Why might my workout take longer than expected?
Totally normal — and you’re not doing anything wrong.
The time shown in the app is an estimate, based on a steady workout pace. But real life doesn’t always look like that. Your workout might take longer depending on things like:
Taking longer rest breaks (especially as weights get heavier)
Waiting for equipment at a busy gym
Pausing to take care of kids, pets, or life in general
Moving at a more intentional pace to focus on form
It’s also important to note — Moves isn’t a follow-along workout video where everything fits perfectly into a set time. You’re moving at your own pace, which is exactly how it should be.
A quick note on pacing & intensity
If you’re consistently finishing workouts much faster than expected, it may be a sign to increase your weights or intensity to get the most out of your session.
On the flip side, if your workouts are taking longer, that’s often a sign you’re challenging yourself, taking proper rest, or simply adjusting to your environment — and that’s all part of the process.
The bottom line
Moves is designed to work with your life — not against it.
Whether you have 30 minutes or a full hour, you can adjust your workout to fit your schedule while still making progress. What matters most is showing up, staying consistent, and getting the work in — not rushing to beat the clock. 💙
