Intention Factor®: Essentials, our brand new wellness app that provides all the essential tools you need to look, feel and perform your best at any age.
We've created a collection of programs for you to choose from, making sure there's something for everyone.
All options take a holistic approach to overall wellness and include:
4 strength training sessions per week
2 mobility/yoga practices per week
1 guided meditation practice
Daily stress management and lifestyle habits checklist
Access to hundreds of recipes that can be filtered by diet (including high protein, vegan, etc)
Community support + accountability via our group chat
If you join Essential+, you’ll also get:
custom macros for your goals + an interactive daily meal feature where you’ll have meals selected for you that perfectly fit your macros based on your preferences (vegan, high protein, etc). Don’t like a particular meal? Simply swap it out. The interactive meal add-on will also curate a grocery list for you so shopping is a breeze!
About the workout programming:
Essential is a progressive overload plan that will run on 3 or 4 week periodization. This means that on week one, you’ll be focused on mind/muscle connection and form. The following week, you’ll do the same workouts, but we’ll increase the level of difficulty a little bit in the form of either more reps, more sets, increased range of motion, heavier weight, slower tempo, or shorter rest. We’ll do the same thing for one ore two more weeks. This is how your muscles grow and fat burns. Then, all the workouts will change. This will keep things fun and interesting - and above all, effective. You have the choice of Essential Home, for people with a home gym without barbell access, and Essential Gym, for people with access to a conventional gym with barbell access.
Candace’s approach is holistic. The strength training is just one piece of the puzzle. Managing your stress is one of the best things you can do for your fitness goals. As a nod to this, you’ll also have a daily habits checklist to keep you motivated and if you’re a checklist kinda person, you know there’s nothing more incentivizing to keep you on track than checking it off a list!
This holistic approach also includes weekly yoga and mobility practices to ensure your joints stay mobile and your muscles stay supple so you get the most out of your strength training workouts.
In addition, you’ll have guided meditation practices to help mitigate daily stress which will help reduce chronically high levels of cortisol, resulting in a better chance of achieving your fitness goals.
Achieving goals is better with friends, so Essential includes an accountability group chat. Get in-app text and video messaging from Candace, and cheer on others who are on the same journey you are!
For people who want to dive a little deeper, Essential+ contains all of the above plus custom macros and calories based on your goals. You’ll simply fill out a form and Candace will use that information to find your custom macros and calories. From there, a sample suggestion of weekly meals will be populated into your account, based on your dietary preferences, and will specifically fit your custom macros numbers! It is truly a fool-proof way to ensure you are eating the right balance and proportion of meals, get the variety you need for optimal health, and make grocery shopping a breeze with the custom shopping list feature.
Choose from at home or a gym fitness plan.
