Signature Plans

Signature Plans let you dive deep into one specific goal with expert guidance. These are 12-week self-paced programs built in collaboration with experts (like Dr. Stacy Sims and Dr. Vonda Wright) that you own forever, so you can return to them whenever they fit your goals—even years later.

Each includes a structured training plan and helpful resources to support you as you follow along.

Available plans:

Power Happens series (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced)

Created with Dr. Stacy Sims for building maximum strength and power
12 weeks per program
Home and gym options available

Start Strong

Created with Dr. Vonda Wright for bone health, longevity, and getting started with strength training
12 weeks
Can be done at home with minimal equipment or at the gym

Good fit if:

You have a clear, specific goal (build serious strength, improve bone density)
You want lifetime access to one proven program you can return to
You prefer owning your content outright rather than a subscription
You're not ready for a membership commitment but want expert programming

Equipment note:

Both Power Happens and Start Strong offer home and gym options. See our Equipment Guide for detailed equipment requirements and alternatives.

Can you combine with membership?

Yes! Many people use a signature plan for focused strength work while also accessing membership for variety, nutrition resources, and specialty programs.

Group Courses

Group courses give you structure, accountability, extra guidance, and community. You're moving through a program alongside other people with the same goal, with live coaching, weekly content, and a private group to keep you on track.

Some group courses like Fat Loss Happens provide education modules, while others like Shred Happens provide expert Q&As.

Examples:

Shred Happens (6 weeks)

Fat loss + muscle building focus
Intensive, results-driven challenge

Fat Loss Happens (9 weeks)

Education + sustainable fat loss approach
Weekly video lessons and expert guidance

What's included:

Structured workout programming
Personalized calorie and macro guidance
Live group calls and expert Q&As
Private community group
Weekly accountability and coaching

Good fit if:

You have a specific short-term goal (fat loss for an event, seasonal reset)
You thrive with structure, deadlines, and group energy
You want live coaching and real-time support
You're motivated by doing something alongside others

Member discount:

If you have Fit Happens Membership, you get the highest available discount on group courses.

Common Questions

Can I have more than one?

Absolutely. Many people combine options based on what they need:

Membership + Power Happens (variety + focused strength specialization)
Signature Plan + Group Course (ongoing training + seasonal fat loss focus)
Membership + Group Course (full library access + community accountability)

Which should I start with?

There's no single right answer. It depends on what feels aligned with how you like to train:

New to HHF? Try the membership with the 10-day free trial to explore, or choose one signature plan if you have a clear goal
Want variety and flexibility? Membership gives you the most options
Have a specific goal? Signature plan or group course
Thrive with community? Group course
Budget-conscious? One signature plan gives lifetime access for one payment
