At Moves, we design training programs to help you feel strong, capable, and confident — no matter your goals or life phase. Whether you’re here for daily structure, focused training, or just need a plan that flexes with your schedule, there’s a program for you.

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.

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.
