What is the Sweat Challenge?

The Sweat Challenge is an exclusive 6-week program to start your 2025 strong.  We’re making it easier than ever to set your goals, unleash your potential, feel your best and do something for YOU. 

Train alongside Sweat Trainers Kayla Itsines, Kelsey Wells, Katie Martin and Britany Williams with their new 6-week programs designed to smash your goals and level up your wellbeing. We’re also bringing back another twelve of our all-time favourite Sweat Challenge programs from a range of world-class trainers. 

When does the Challenge start? 
Week 1 of the Challenge will begin on Monday, 13 January 2025 and continue through until Sunday, 23 February 2025.

Each trainer has created an example week. To view this, ensure you have the ‘Suggested Workout Plan’ enabled within your Planner Settings. You can edit and rearrange your workouts to suit your daily and weekly commitments. All resistance workouts will count towards your weekly goals.
