What equipment you'll need for Move Together at home versus in the gym, plus how workout length and equipment alternatives work.

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.

Move Together gives you options to train at home or in the gym and lets you choose between two workout lengths:

  • ~30 minutes

  • ~60 minutes

You’ll choose your preferred workout length when you start each session in the Moves App. The programming and intention remain the same — only the set/round volume adjusts to fit your schedule.

Gym Workouts

Your gym should be equipped with everything you need for the challenge, including:

  • Dumbbells

  • Barbells

  • Cable machines

Home vs Gym Versions

Before you start a Move Together workout in the Moves App, you’ll be able to select either a Home or Gym version of that workout. Both versions deliver the same training value — just with tools that fit your environment.

  • Home Version uses equipment you’re likely to have at home

  • Gym Version uses traditional gym machines and setups

No matter which version you choose, each workout also offers both 30-min and 60-min formats to match your time and energy.


Equipment Alternatives

If you don’t have a specific piece of equipment needed for an exercise, you can easily swap it out with one of your exercise alternatives. Adaptability is key, so feel free to modify exercises as necessary to fit your available equipment.

With these resources and a bit of creativity, you'll be well-prepared to tackle the Move Together challenge, no matter where you choose to work out!
