Busy Girl Sculpt: We recommend selecting Lose Body Fat or Both as your goal. This will place you in a calorie deficit, which helps with fat loss and achieving a leaner physique. In a deficit, remember to prioritise nutrient-dense foods to maintain your energy levels and support recovery.
Hybrid: We recommend choosing Maintenance or Build Muscle as your goal. This program combines strength and endurance training, so fuelling adequately is essential for powering through each session and maximising performance! Meeting your calorie goal will support energy levels, aid recovery, and allow you to see steady progress.
Full Body Strength: We recommend choosing Maintenance or Build Muscle to support the demands of heavy lifting and strength-based workouts. A calorie surplus will provide the fuel needed to maximise gains, build strength, and get the most out of your lifting sessions.
Pilates Fusion: The goal is flexible with Pilates Fusion. Depending on what you want to achieve, you can select lose body fat, both, maintenance, or build muscle. Whether your goal is to tone, maintain, or build, Pilates Fusion offers the versatility to support all outcomes!

WHAT YOU COULD ACHIEVE
"This challenge was different from so many other challenges I've done with MWU! For me it wasn't about how I looked or how many calories I could burn, it was about how much I could LIFT and how strong I was getting! I've never lifted heavier and couldn't be more proud of myself. I definitely wasn't as strict with myself this challenge and had more of a Balance with food - following the 80/20 rule."
- Kimberly
"I loved this challenge. Being 3 months postpartum in the first picture I was struggling coming to terms with my new body. This challenge gave me the kick start i needed. [...] This Challenge gave me the opportunity to reclaim my goals in 2023, by changing my habits and mindset, whilst boosting my self-esteem and confidence around the gym and helped me achieve personal bests in my strength training."
- Ellie
"I really enjoyed this challenge. I found it had a good mix of cardio and weight training. The recipes were delicious and simple to follow. I found it easy enough to stick to the plan! I feel like myself again! I feel confident, strong and a better person for it! Thanks Move With Us!"
- Adriana

Weeks 1 & 2:
The focus in these first two weeks is on foundational strength and intensity. Using the 5x5 method, workouts emphasise strength progression, especially targeting glute strength. Expect circuits that keep intensity high, combining EMOM and interval formats for a full-body challenge that elevates your heart rate and builds muscular endurance.
Weeks 3 & 4:
Building on the foundations, these weeks introduce the Wave Loading x Drop Set method. This advanced technique uses progressively heavier weights in the first set of each wave, followed by drop sets to enhance both endurance and strength. The structure continues to challenge your limits, helping you adapt to higher loads and pushing you to lift heavier with each new wave.
Weeks 5 & 6:
In the final phase, we introduce the Pyramid Set Technique, where reps decrease as weight increases, challenging muscles to handle progressively heavier loads. This phase also includes an AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible) session, pushing endurance and testing your limits within a set time frame. The combination of volume and intensity will leave you feeling strong and accomplished as you complete the challenge.
Busy Girl Sculpt and Busy Girl Program are very similar in terms of their effectiveness to achieving results without spending hours in the gym. The key difference is the training split and that Busy Girl Sculpt focuses more on Sculpting and Toning, whereas Busy Girl Program offers more strength-focused workouts. You can expect an increase in overall Program intensity for Busy Girl Sculpt.
With Hybrid you can choose between a 4, 5 or 6 Day Training Split.

Weeks 1 & 2: Building the Foundation
In the first two weeks, we’ll focus on the back squat, overhead press, and hip thrust for the primary strength movements. These exercises make up the foundation of your strength sessions. The remaining strength work will elevate your heart rate and leave you sweating with formats like EMOMs, AMRAPs, and rounds for time. Conditioning sessions feature a five-round, full-body workout. For running, you’ll complete a 30-40 minute zone 2 run, which helps flush out your legs and build your aerobic base, and a threshold run with 3-minute intervals. All of the equipment used in this program are free weights.
Weeks 3 & 4: Strength Progression
In weeks three and four, our primary barbell lifts shift to the front squat, bench press, and Romanian deadlift. These two weeks are dedicated to progressing strength in these key movements. As with the previous weeks, expect AMRAPs, for-time workouts, and EMOMs, each slightly more challenging to match your increasing strength. Conditioning includes a three-station workout with 4-minute rounds and 1-minute rests, aiming to maximise meters on the erg. Running sessions progress as well: the easy run extends by 10 minutes, and interval work increases to 4-minute efforts, pushing your endurance.
Weeks 5 & 6: Final Push
In the final weeks, you’ll tackle more complex movements, including the barbell reverse lunge, Pendlay row, and deadlift. These lifts will incorporate more single-leg work and further develop your overall strength. Each strength day is designed with variety: Monday includes a challenging AMRAP, Thursday an EMOM, and Friday rounds for time in a ladder format. The last conditioning session is a five-round EMOM with demanding dumbbell exercises. Running sessions culminate with a 50-60 minute easy run and 5-minute intervals, helping you finish the program strong.
The difference between the Hybrid Team and the Hybrid Program is that the split is slightly different, so the training could align with the Move challenge. The Hybrid Program has six different weeks of training, whereas the Hybrid Team only has three different weeks.
For the Hybrid Team - The strength days are all structured differently, with these having three components in each session. The first component is the strength component; the second is a Metcon style that combines high-intensity work and strength. Component 3 is a finisher to leave you with that burn. This Program is more of a functional training program inclusive of running sessions, rather than a dedicated strength and running Program.
With Full Body Strength you can choose between a 4, 5 or 6 Day Training Split.

Weeks 1 & 2: Laying the Foundation
During this initial block, compounds will follow a 4x5 structure. This block is designed to help you get comfortable with extended warm-up sets, lower reps, and longer rest periods. Expect some initial soreness as you lift heavier weights than usual, and consider using the LISS cardio sessions for active recovery. Tracking your weights is highly recommended, as each set should aim for improvement over the previous week, with a goal of reaching a 3RM (three-rep max) by the challenge’s end. Accessories will include slower tempos to reinforce control and form.
Weeks 3 & 4: Pushing Limits
In this phase, all compounds will follow a 5x5 structure, making it the most challenging block of the program. You’re encouraged to maintain or increase the weights from the previous block for an extra set. The fifth set for each compound lift should be very challenging—take extra rest if needed. Some accessory movements will shift from dumbbells to barbells, adding a stability challenge, and you may experience some new soreness as your body adapts. Sprint intervals are also introduced in some finishers to push cardiovascular endurance. This is a high-intensity block, so feel free to skip LISS cardio if you're feeling fatigued.
Weeks 5 & 6: Maximising Strength
The final block focuses on maximising strength by lowering reps and increasing weights, with all compounds following a 4x3 structure. If the previous weeks were performed at max effort you can expect to hit new personal bests. While reps decrease, you'll maintain the same rest periods and intensity.
With Pilates Fusion you can choose between a 4, 5 or 6 Day Training Split.

Weeks 1 & 2: Building Foundations
The first two weeks of Pilates Fusion will lay a solid foundation, starting at an intermediate level to push you right from the start. You’ll experience slightly longer rest periods on the full body days - just enough time to catch your breath and get used to the pace. We’ll provide modifications, including alternatives to jumps and knee raises, so you can adjust as needed while still embracing the burn. This phase is all about getting familiar with Milly, understanding cues, and finding your rhythm.
Weeks 3 & 4: Building Intensity
By week 3, we’ll kick things up a notch to build strength and intensity. We’ll be levelling up the exercises that challenge you, incorporating tempo work and deficits, and encouraging you to use heavier equipment. While the class structure remains similar, expect shorter rest breaks and higher reps. We’ll push your balance and stamina, with each rep taking you to your limit—especially when you’re ready to quit. Cardiovascular fitness will be tested as we keep the energy high. Throughout all of the classes, you should expect to see themes and links that connect movements; the class flows from start to end.
Weeks 5 & 6: Pilates Power
In the final two weeks, we bring everything together. You’ll end this Challenge feeling powerful and empowered, with a deeper connection to your body. You'll be encouraged to take on exercise progressions and build toward peak poses toward the end of each class. With verbal cues for mini-challenges, like beating your time or adding a rep for extra burn, you’ll stay focused on competing only with yourself. We’ll incorporate heavier equipment and introduce more advanced moves, so you can finish strong and feel accomplished.
Pilates Fusion breaks the rules of normal Pilates, brought to MWU by our newest coach, Milly. This consists of On-Demand Videos that will only be available through our Move Challenge. Pilates Fusion is an experience that leaves you feeling strong and uplifted helping you build confidence through fast-paced sculpting and high-intensity full-body sweat workouts.
