ON-DEMAND WORKOUTS A growing library of quick follow-along workouts you can fit into any day. No equipment needed, and each workout shows its moves before you start. GOALS, STREAKS AND BADGES Set a weekly goal, build a streak, and earn badges for showing up. Streaks count weeks, not days, so a rest day never breaks one. ONE ACCOUNT, EVERYONE INCLUDED Up to 6 participant profiles and 6 adults per household. The account holder sees what everyone did, and members get a progress recap by email every Sunday. LIVE CLASSES Join coach-led classes streamed on Instagram Live. RSVP in the app and we email the class link to the account holder before it starts, so it opens on a grown-up's device. Afterwards, enter the coach's workout code to earn your active minutes.
