Overview #
At healthshift, we offer two ways to train: structured programs and on-demand workouts. Both serve a purpose — here’s how they differ and how to use them together.
Programs #
Structured plans designed to guide your progress over time
Best suited for:
- Individuals who want a clear routine
- Those training towards a specific goal (e.g. fat loss, muscle gain, improved fitness)
- Users who like knowing what to do each week
Key features:
- Workouts follow a weekly structure
- Builds consistency and progression
- Includes guidance on habits, recovery, and tracking
- Available in different formats (e.g. 2-day, 3-day, or 5-day plans)
Examples:
- Build Muscle (Lite or Full)
- Lose Weight (Beginner to Intermediate)
- Speed & Agility

On-Demand Workouts #
Flexible sessions you can access anytime
Best suited for:
- Users who want quick access to workouts without a schedule
- Those supplementing their program with extra sessions
- People training around a busy or unpredictable routine
Key features:
- No fixed plan or sequence
- Searchable by category (e.g. Core, Mobility, Dumbbell)
- Ideal for quick workouts, travel, or mixing things up
Examples:
- 15-Minute Stretch
- Dumbbell Sweat
- Kettlebell Power
- Core Burners
How to Decide #
Start with a program if you’re new, returning to training, or want structure.
Use on-demand when you need flexibility, variety, or short add-on sessions.
Many members use both — following a program while dipping into on-demand workouts to suit their schedule, energy, or recovery needs.
