Challenge Moves are a cornerstone of our Weekly Moves programming, offering a built-in opportunity for tracking progressive and implementing progressive overload. Weekly Moves introduces five new workouts each week, all released on the same days for every member following the program. This consistent schedule not only keeps workouts fresh but also fosters a shared experience among participants, creating a strong sense of community.
The Power of Progressive Overload
Central to the success of Weekly Moves is the principle of progressive overload—gradually increasing the intensity of exercises to ensure continuous progress. To facilitate this, our trainers introduce new Challenge Moves each month. These exercises are repeated throughout the four weeks, allowing participants to focus on improving specific movements. This repetition enables users to track their progress, whether it's by completing an extra rep, adding a set, or lifting heavier weights compared to the previous week.
To support this progression, our Exercise History feature plays a crucial role. It allows users to review the weights and reps they did for that exercise in the past, providing a clear record of their improvements. This function not only helps in setting new goals but also serves as a powerful motivator by showing tangible progress over time.
For individuals who prefer a training style with less variety and more repetition, a program like Strength Moves might be ideal. This program aligns closely with the principles of progressive overload, focusing on steady strength improvement through repeated exercises.

Trainer Notes: Key Insights for Better Performance
Another important feature is our Trainer Notes, which are represented by a small light bulb icon on the exercise video or in the list view. These notes provide valuable insights and suggestions from the trainer, helping you fine-tune your form and maximize the effectiveness of each exercise. It's recommended to check these notes to ensure you're getting the most out of your workout.
