Goal-Based Challenge: Choose From 11 YogaFokus Programs

Come on. Admit it. You’re less likely to work out now than you were at the start of the year. And you’re not alone. 

There’s nothing quite like the start of a new year to reset your goals and commit to putting yourself first. But then… life happens. Work begins to ramp up. The gym clears out again. The home/work/life juggle continues to intensify. And that 5 am alarm clock? Well, the snooze button has never looked more tempting. 

So how do you recommit when your motivation takes a hit? How do you keep saying yes to your goals and make fitness a feel-good part of your routine? The good news is you don’t need a new year or even a new month to reset your fitness goals and reboot your routine with YogaFokus. And we’ve got a collection of 3, 4 and 6-week challenge programs to help set you up for success. 

This year we launched five brand-new mini-challenge programs and refreshed some YogaFokus Community favourites so you can pick the start date of your next challenge with YogaFokus. Because we’re here to keep you motivated, every single day of the year.

Back & Glutes Challenge with Katie Martin

This four-week challenge from Katie Martin is focused on strengthening and toning your posterior chain – that’s the muscles down the back side of your body such as your glutes, hamstrings, back and calves. You have three 30-40 minute strength workouts each week designed to be completed in a fully-equipped gym, and the exercises change each week for added variety and challenge!

Lifting Masterclass Challenge with Laura Roberts

This four-week challenge from Laura Roberts is all about building strength, power and developing your Olympic-style lifting skills with three full-body workouts each week. Each session will take you 40-50 minutes to complete and includes a mix of heavy compound lifts and accessory movements.

NEW: 4-Week Strong Glutes Gym Challenge with Kelsey Wells

This four-week challenge from Kelsey Wells is all about strengthening your glutes in the gym. Get ready for three 40-50 minute workouts each week, plus a 30-minute Glutes & Abs session. Each week focuses on the same exercises to allow you to log your weights and see progression as you work through activations, strength sets, supersets and burnouts.

The Daily 10 Challenge with Britany Williams

This four-week challenge from Britany Williams is short, sharp and you only need a chair or ottoman to get started. The aim is to move your body for at least 10 minutes a day, with five 10-minute workouts and two cardio sessions each week. The workouts are low-impact and need minimal space, making this challenge perfect for beginner fitness levels, busy lifestyles or working out on the go!

3-Week Lengthen & Strengthen Challenge with Kelly MacDonald

This three-week challenge from Kelly MacDonald is focused on improving your mobility and strength, with two upper-body and two lower-body workouts each week that will take you 30-45 minutes to complete. Your goal is to improve your strength and range of motion in all areas of the body, setting yourself up for better movement habits, faster recovery, and less pain or injuries. To get the most out of this challenge, it’s best to train in a gym with access to a wide range of equipment, but you could also use the exercise substitutions feature to train at home.

3-Week Ab Burn Challenge with Kayla Itsines

Kayla Itsines’ Ab Burn Challenge is a three-week core-focused program that integrates abdominal exercises, high-intensity and full-body movements. You’ll improve your strength, stability and posture with workouts that can be completed anywhere, with no equipment — in 20 minutes or less. The short and effective workouts are the perfect addition to any training program for anyone who wants to improve their core strength and experience Kayla’s signature “ab-burn”.

If you’ve already completed this three-week challenge, we released a fresh collection of Ab Burn workouts available in the On Demand section of the app under “Series” earlier this year!

4-Week Strong Glutes Challenge with Kelsey Wells

Kelsey Wells’ Strong Glutes Challenge is a member-favourite four-week program that uses efficient strength training workouts to help you build, shape and strengthen your glutes. While the 15-35 minute workouts still focus on strengthening muscle in your lower body and challenging your core strength, Kelsey has refreshed this challenge with a range of new exercises! Train at home or the gym, with an optional upper body workout to improve your overall strength and stability so you can feel powerful and more confident.

2-Week Energy Boost Challenge with Kayla Itsines

Need to recharge? Boost your energy, feel positive and get ready to take on your day with Kayla Itsines’ Energy Boost Challenge. The two-week program includes 20 to 30-minute high-intensity circuit-style workouts that will challenge you — and leave you feeling unstoppable. The full-body workouts alternate in intensity to help you improve your strength and fitness at home so you have more energy for the activities you love.

3-Week Core & Body Connection Challenge with Sara Colquhoun

Feel connected to your core with Sara Colquhoun’s three-week mat Pilates program. This challenge program can be completed at home or in the gym with minimal equipment. The 15 to 40-minute classes include a variety of balance-based exercises to stabilise and strengthen your core whilst improving flexibility and posture.

4-Week Body Burn with Cass Olholm

Challenge your strength, speed and performance with Cass Olholm’s non-stop high-intensity cardio workouts.

The 15 to 30-minute workouts require no equipment — just your bodyweight.
