(Bonus: The WH Flex Challenge is free for WH+ members!)

Each of our five fitness stars leads a follow-along workout video that can be mixed and matched and stacked together to ladder up to multiple badass goals—from gaining muscle to chiseling your core to boosting your aerobic capacity. (We’ll give you three different schedules to pick from—keep scrolling to select your track.)

This is your chance to finally zero in on the fitness goal *you* care about (even if your workout buddy doesn’t!). To discover a totally new modality. To hold that plank longer than you ever have. To squat heavier than you did as a high school athlete. To vibe with a trainer you didn’t even know was out there. To unlock a stronger, more motivated you.

Sign up for WH+ now to access the complete WH Flex Challenge and all five workout videos—as well as tons of other exclusive perks.

The Workouts

What Makes The Flex Challenge Different

Let’s face it: Most fitness programs offer a one-size-fits-all schedule, making the assumption that we all share the same workout aspirations. That’s why, instead of the usual cookie-cutter approach, the 2025 WH Flex Challenge is designed to let you customize your journey by choosing one of three (!) tracks that aligns with your unique fitness goals:

1. Increase lean muscle mass with the Muscle Maker track
2. Strengthen your core with the Abs Enthusiast track
3. Boost endurance with the Cardio Builder track

On each track, you will follow a weekly workout schedule (that you should repeat for a minimum of four weeks for max results) designed for that specific goal. But you’ll still get to experience workouts with all five of our incredible coaches. So no matter which challenge route you choose, you’ll get a taste of each trainer’s personal style—from empowering high-intensity strength sessions to short-and-sweaty core circuits—all designed to keep you engaged and motivated every step of the way.

Build lean muscle and achieve peak strength on this track. It incorporates all of the dumbbell and bodyweight strength and power workouts to ensure your muscles are properly loaded week to week in order to adapt and grow. Plus, Mishler’s rejuvenating yoga flow ensures you recover and reset for the next round of gains.

Sculpt your strongest center ever with this challenge that pairs total-body strength and conditioning workouts with de León’s targeted seven-minute weighted core circuit. You’ll also complete the dumbbell abs workout on its own during the week to target the core in isolation for maximum results.

Uncover your true cardio potential—this track is a strategic blend of muscle-building strength and heart-pumping HIIT and conditioning that can boost your VO2 max, improve muscular endurance, and push you past your limits.
