Tighter Together is now Move Together
We’ve refreshed the name to better reflect our mission: building strength, consistency, and community — together. 💙 Learn more about that change here.
Fall 2026 Move Together is here! Sign-ups run Sep 28 – Oct 15, 2026, and the challenge runs Oct 12 – Nov 14, 2026.
NEW for Fall 2026: built-in prenatal swaps for every trimester, designed by our Doctors of Physical Therapy. Details below.
Not ready right when the challenge starts? You don't have to wait to sign up. Sign-ups close Oct 15 and don't reopen once the challenge is underway, so if you're not sure you'll be up for it Oct 12 – Nov 14, grab your spot now anyway — as a non-subscriber you get 6 months of full access from your purchase date, so you can start whenever you're ready. Subscribers keep full access for as long as they're subscribed. See Can I Use Move Together at a Later Date?
If you're pregnant or postpartum and considering joining the Move Together challenge, it's crucial to prioritize your health and safety. Here are some important considerations and options for you:
Can I do the challenge if I’m pregnant?
Yes — for uncomplicated pregnancies with no contraindications given by your healthcare team. We recommend prior workout experience and confidence knowing when you need a modification, but our experts have built swaps in with labels so you can adjust easily within the challenge programming. Research increasingly supports strength training during pregnancy — the right program for you is a combination of what you enjoy and feel confident doing.
Consult Your Doctor
Before starting any program during pregnancy, always check with your healthcare provider. Many participants have safely completed Move Together while pregnant, but every pregnancy is unique.
Consider the Mom Moves Prenatal Program
If you're newer to strength training or would rather not identify modifications yourself, the Mom Moves Prenatal Program is built exactly for that — same benefits, built specifically for each phase of pregnancy, and developed in collaboration with a Women’s Health & Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist.
Built-In Prenatal Swaps, For Every Trimester
Move Together isn't pregnancy-specific, but it includes built-in prenatal-labeled alternates for exercises that may need one — designed by our Doctors of Physical Therapy for every trimester. It's self-guided, so the swaps are there when you want to use them.
💡 Good to know: not every exercise has a labeled Pregnancy Alt — only the moves that actually need one are tagged. Don't expect to see a swap listed for every single exercise; that isn't the design. If you come across a move that feels like it should have a swap and doesn't, please flag it in the app so our team can review it.
How Do I Know When to Swap a Move?
This framework — developed with Dr. Katie Fincher, Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist — is about recognizing when a movement might need a swap, not a rule that says stop when something changes. Pregnancy doesn't automatically mean stopping an exercise you enjoy: symptoms are information about what your body is signaling that day, and the goal is finding a variation that keeps you training comfortably and confidently.
Coning or doming through your abdominal midline during a sit-up, crunch, or other core move: a sign of increased pressure for that activity, not a reason to stop training your core. Try band assistance, a reduced range of motion, or an adjusted breathing strategy first — or swap to dead bugs, bird dogs, or Pallof presses.
Leaking urine during jump rope, box jumps, running, or other impact work: your pelvic floor is working harder with that day's demand, not a reflection of your fitness level. Adjust your breathing strategy, reduce impact or volume, and rebuild gradually based on how you feel.
Pelvic heaviness, pressure, or bulging during a deadlift or overhead press: often about how pressure is managed under load. Try exhaling through the hardest part of the movement, or modify load, reps, or volume — not a reason to abandon strength training.
Pubic or groin pain during wide-stance moves (sumo squat, lateral lunge, wide-leg mobility) or single-leg moves (lunges, step-ups, running): narrow your stance, shorten your range of motion, decrease load, or choose a more symmetrical variation.
Dizziness or lightheadedness lying on your back, especially later in pregnancy: doesn't mean supine work stops entirely at a set week. If symptomatic, switch to incline, seated, or side-lying and see if it resolves.
Sharp or pulling discomfort through your lower abdomen or groin during running, agility, or quick direction changes: slow your direction changes, use a more gradual acceleration/deceleration, reduce impact, and progress based on comfort.
The best modification is the individual one that lets you keep moving while feeling strong, supported, and comfortable — for personalized guidance, a Pelvic Floor or Women's Health Physical Therapist can help you apply this framework to your own body.
If You Choose to Join Move Together
Here’s how to make it work safely:
Listen to Your Body
Pay close attention to how you feel during workouts and use the framework above to decide when a swap makes sense. Built-in prenatal-labeled alternates are there for moves that commonly need one, but moving at your own pace — and swapping something that isn't labeled, if it doesn't feel right — is always encouraged.
Seek Professional Guidance
If possible, check in with a Pelvic Floor or Women’s Health Physical Therapist for personalized support throughout your pregnancy.
Flexibility in Scheduling
You can complete workouts at your own pace. Not ready for the full 6-day schedule? No problem — you can save workouts and come back when it feels right.
Logging & App Access
Full logging features are available for 6 months after your Move Together purchase. After that, if you're not an active Moves App subscriber, workouts remain accessible in view-only mode. Learn more about view-only mode here.
Can I do the challenge if I’m postpartum?
Everyone’s postpartum timeline looks a little different, so we always recommend building a solid foundation first. Our Postpartum Program is designed to help you reconnect to your core and rebuild strength in a really intentional and safe way.
That said, Move Together is a great option when you feel ready — and you can absolutely start with the nutrition (recipes + macros) now and layer in the workouts later. The challenge is very doable with modifications and options for scaled intensity (including the Conditioning, Core & Mobility day's choice of high intensity or low impact), but we encourage honoring your recovery first.
💡 If now isn't the right time, you don't have to miss out — sign up during the Sep 28 – Oct 15 window and save your access for when you're ready. As a non-subscriber, your purchase gives you 6 months of full access from the date you buy it, not from the challenge start date, so your recovery timeline and the challenge window don't have to line up perfectly.
