Our programs fall into four main categories:

Our Core Ongoing Main Programs

Best if you want structure and accountability, week after week.

  • These are our flagship training tracks.

  • New workouts are released each week at the same time for everyone, so you’re moving alongside thousands of other Moves members.

  • You’ll always know what’s next, with a plan designed by our coaches and physical therapists to keep you progressing safely and effectively.

Our Fixed-Length Programs

Best if you have a specific goal or life phase in mind.

  • These are goal-focused programs you start on your own schedule.

  • Perfect for things like training through pregnancy, preparing for a race, or completing a defined challenge.

  • You can pause, stop, or restart anytime.

Our Add-On Supplemental Programs

Best if you want to layer in extra work toward a specific skill or strength.

  • Think of these as mini-series you can combine with your main program.

  • Examples include building core strength, improving mobility, or increasing your mile pace.

  • They’re progressive and multi-week, designed to complement — not replace — your main workouts.

Our Temporary Supplemental Programs

Best if you need flexibility during travel, recovery, or changing schedules.

  • Short-term programs that give you structure when your usual training isn’t possible.

  • Examples: bodyweight-only workouts for travel, lighter “deload” weeks, or routines for limited equipment.

  • These make sure you can keep moving without losing momentum.

Seasonal Programs & Challenges

Limited-time programs that run on a set schedule — enrollment opens and closes on specific dates.

  • Move Together — Move Together is Moves App’s signature 5-week challenge — designed to give you a powerful “push phase” in both workouts and nutrition, while connecting you with a community of thousands moving right alongside you. Since it’s only offered once or twice a year, it’s truly a special event.

    • Move Together is not currently available. Next round expected Fall 2026. Learn more here.

  • Master Your Move — A 6-week summer series built to help you master the movements that matter most. Each one focuses on a specific skill with quick, effective 8-minute sessions designed to layer onto whatever program you're already doing.

    • Summer 2026 is live now! Currently available through September 13, 2026. Learn more here.


Weekly Moves

New Workouts Every Week

Stay consistent and move with purpose! This program delivers five new sessions each week, designed to build a strong, functional, and balanced body. Every workout comes with PT-approved modifications and easy swaps, so it flexes to your level while helping you make long-term progress. Choose the 30-minute version on a tight day, or go with the 60-minute option — which adds extra rounds and reps — when you’ve got more time.

Difficulty: Intermediate

Program Length: Ongoing

Cadence: 3 – 5x per week

Average Workout Length: 30 – 70 minutes

Sample Weekly Schedule:

  • Mon: Legs + Glutes

  • Tue: Upper Body

  • Wed: Conditioning + Deep Core

  • Thu: Back + Chest

  • Fri: Full Body + Deep Core

Equipment Needed: Dumbbells, Bands, Elevated Step, Barbell, Kettlebell, Exercise Ball

💡 Pro tip: Take your strength further by pairing Weekly Moves with one of our three Core Moves phases — progressively building power, stability, and confidence.


Foundation Moves

The Perfect Starting Point

Looking to rebuild confidence and strength? Foundation Moves is built for anyone returning to training or wanting a solid base to grow from. Developed with expert care by Dr. Brandon Moss, PT, it’s a progressive, approachable plan that strengthens your body while improving coordination, balance, and core stability — with Core Moves Phase 1 already built in, so you’ll be ready for Weekly Moves or another intermediate program when you’re done. You’ll start with three strength workouts and two low-intensity (LISS) cardio days each week, gradually working up to five strength sessions; from there, Core Moves Phase 2 is the natural next step. It’s also a great starting point if weight loss and toning are on your radar — the program lays the groundwork for whatever’s next.

Difficulty: Beginner

Program Length: 6 weeks

Workouts: 23

Average Workout Length: 30 – 45 minutes

Sample Weekly Schedule:

  • Lower Body

  • Upper Body Push

  • Conditioning & Deep Core

  • Upper Body Pull

  • Full Body

Equipment Needed: Dumbbells, Bands, Elevated Step. Additional equipment requirements may vary between the Gym and Home versions of the program.

💡 Special Consideration: Foundation Moves is also suitable for individuals recovering from surgery, as it includes Core Moves Phase 1, eliminating the need for separate core-focused programs during recovery. This provides a balanced and gradual approach to rebuilding strength.


Mom Moves

Safe Prenatal Training

Stay strong and confident throughout pregnancy with Mom Moves. Developed with Pelvic Floor PT and Women’s Health experts, it adapts to your changing needs across three trimester-specific programs — one each for Trimester 1, 2, and 3 — so every workout supports strength, mobility, and overall wellness as your body changes.

💡 Pro Tip: Under Programs > Prenatal, start the trimester program that matches where you are now. When you move into your next trimester, end the program you’re on and start the next trimester’s from Week 1 — Mom Moves won’t advance you automatically, and switching keeps the guidance aligned with your body and stage. Learn more here.

Difficulty: All levels

Program Length: 34 weeks

Workouts: 170

Average Workout Length: 30–60 minutes

Sample Weekly Schedule:

  • Lower Body

  • Upper Body

  • Conditioning + Cardio

  • Core & Mobility

  • Full Body

Equipment Needed: Dumbbells, Bands, Elevated Step


Postpartum Moves

Progressive Postpartum Training

Ease back into movement with Postpartum Moves, built to reconnect your core and rebuild full-body strength. Developed with Dr. Lizzie Kieffer, PT, it progresses from gentle core work to functional bodyweight patterns, resistance training, and higher-intensity sessions — helping you move confidently and safely, whether you’re a few weeks or several months postpartum, including if you’re managing diastasis recti.

💡 Pro Tip: Phase 1 is perfect for those in the early stages of postpartum recovery, while those further along may start in Phase 2. Learn more here. If you are 6 weeks postpartum and ready to begin more active workouts, you can start at Week 4 or 5 of the Postpartum Moves program, depending on your readiness and comfort level.

Difficulty: Beginner

Program Length: 10 weeks

Workouts: 3–5x per week

Average Workout Length: 20–45 minutes

Sample Phases & Schedule:

  • Phase 1 (Weeks 1–4): Gentle core reconnection and mobility, working up to bodyweight movement

  • Phase 2 (Weeks 5–7): Strength training with weights begins

  • Phase 3 (Weeks 8–10): Heavier strength work, targeted by muscle group

Equipment Needed: Dumbbells, Resistance Bands, Elevated Surface, Pilates Ball

What's After Postpartum Moves?

If you've finished this program, you've got some options as to what's next. We'd recommend starting Weekly Moves 30-minute versions alongside Core Moves Phase 2. If Weekly Moves feels too advanced, Foundation Moves is an excellent alternative to build strength and confidence before progressing. Learn more here.

C-Section Scar Recovery Program

For those healing from a C-section, we offer a 10-week Scar Recovery Program (3x/week), designed to layer on top of Postpartum Moves. This program focuses on gentle, progressive techniques to support scar desensitization, mobility, and deeper core reconnection.

Even if your C-section was months—or years—ago, you can still benefit. Scar massage can ease pain, restrictions, or hypersensitivity that may have persisted. Think of scar tissue like tangled hair in a brush—it can always be worked through, but we go gently and incrementally, no matter the timeline. Learn more here.


Commit Performance

Our Hybrid Training Program for Runners

Take your fitness to the next level with Commit Performance, a 12-week hybrid program by Melissa Kendter. It blends strength sessions, running, plyometrics, core and mobility work, and recovery — combining strength, hypertrophy, and endurance to help you build muscle, improve your running, and boost overall fitness. Specific running workouts and weekly interval sessions, exact timing included, are built right into the schedule — so if you want your cardio fully mapped out rather than self-directed, this is the program for that.

Race Day Guides: 5K, Half-Marathon, Full-Marathon

Train for Your Next Race

Whether you’re running your first 5K or aiming for a full marathon, Race Day Guides help you train smart and confidently. Each program combines running sessions with full-body strength training to build endurance, power, and resilience — so you show up race day strong and prepared.

Our Race Programs:

  • Commit 5K – Beginner & Intermediate | 8 weeks

  • Commit Half Marathon – Beginner & Intermediate | 12 weeks

  • Commit Full Marathon – Intermediate | 16 weeks

Full Marathon Notes:

Before starting the Full Marathon program, make sure you’ve already got a solid running base. You should be able to:

  1. Run consistently for several weeks

  2. Complete moderate distances without discomfort

  3. Maintain proper form during longer runs

If that sounds like you, you’re ready to start! If not, spend 4–6 weeks building your base with Commit 5K, Commit Half Marathon, or Commit Performance first — marathon training is a big commitment, and a little extra prep now pays off later. And if you’re deciding between our two marathon-ready programs: Commit Performance maps out your running for you, while Endurance Moves lets you set your own running schedule.

It’s ideal for cyclists, triathletes, or anyone who wants variety alongside their existing routine.

This program may be a good fit if you’re recovering from:

  • Hysterectomy

  • Hernia repair

  • Most general abdominal surgeries

If you are postpartum, we recommend following our postpartum program, which is specifically designed for that stage of recovery. If you've had a C-section, we have a specific program for that too!

*We recommend checking with your surgeon or healthcare provider before starting any workout program, especially during recovery.


Deload Week

Recovery

Take a reset with Deload Week, a one-week program designed to give your body and mind the recovery they need after high-intensity training.
