Introducing Personalized Plans: Better5 Now Builds Your Workout for You

We built Better5 to help you move better, every day. But we heard you loud and clear: with a growing library of classes, it was not always obvious what to actually do today. So we fixed that. Better5 now builds a personalized workout plan around you—your goals, your level, your schedule—and quietly keeps it running in the background. Less deciding, more doing.

Here is everything that is new.

1. We get to know you first

It starts with a quick 6-question quiz that learns your fitness goals, the areas you most want to focus on, your current activity level, any physical limitations to work around, and how you like to work out. New members begin here so their very first week is tailored from day one. If you have been with us a while, you will be introduced to it too—but taking it is completely optional, so skip it or dive in whenever you feel ready.

2. A plan built around you

Based on your answers, Better5 recommends the right classes and lays them out as a weekly workout schedule, complete with suggested days and times. And it is fully yours to shape: add, remove, or swap classes, shift your workout days, and pull in any class from our full member library you would rather do instead. The plan is a starting point, not a cage.

3. A home screen that just says “press play”

Your new Home tab shows your next scheduled workout with a Play button front and center, alongside your weekly schedule and your current streak. No browsing, no second-guessing—open the app and go. (The full class library is still right there any time you feel like exploring on your own.)

4. Your workouts, right on the calendar

Every class in your plan lands on your workout calendar with its assigned date and time, and it updates automatically whenever you tweak things. A clear, at-a-glance look at your week helps the habit stick.

5. Gentle reminders, on your schedule

Better5 now sends push reminders for your scheduled workouts—timed to your own preferred schedule and your timezone. Tap one and you go straight to your Home screen, ready to begin. Because they are managed behind the scenes, they always stay in sync with your plan and the workouts you have already finished.

6. Celebrate every single win

Finish a workout and watch your progress and streak grow. You will see a rewards screen for the achievements you have earned—and you can repeat a favorite session or share your win with friends and family on Facebook. We have even added a little thank-you video to round out each workout, because every time you show up deserves a moment.

7. Check-ins that keep your plan fresh

Each week we will ask a simple question: how did your workouts feel? Your answers let Better5 fine-tune your plan so it keeps meeting you where you are. And after four weeks, you will be invited to retake the quiz and refresh everything from the ground up—because your fitness grows, and your plan should grow right along with it.

A smoother app all around

We have reworked the mobile experience so your personalized Home sits front and center, with easier navigation, quicker access to your achievements, and a refreshed walkthrough to show you the ropes. Even the locked-class screens are clearer now, with simple options to browse other classes or reach our team if you need a hand.

The bottom line

Better5 is now easier and more personal than it has ever been. The whole point is to take the guesswork off your plate—so instead of deciding what to do, you can simply move, build momentum, and let a consistent, lasting habit take hold. Currently, Personalized Plans are only available for members with the Better5 Membership (All Access), so if that is you, it is ready and waiting right now.

Open the app, answer a few quick questions, and let Better5 take it from here. We cannot wait to move with you. 💪
