Our new prize structure is designed to better spotlight the incredible transformations our members achieve.The challenges we host are not weight loss challenges or bodybuilding competitions. We have women who join from all different starting points and we’re continuing these challenges to support, motivate and encourage each and every one of you.We want to be able to highlight and celebrate the woman who lost 6 inches, as well as the women who got that bicep definition she&#x27;s been after.

We are not choosing based on one metric like fat loss, or muscle build or most workouts completed. We are choosing the best transformations that happened in the 8 weeks and putting them in a group that are the “best” and a group that are “runners up” with no actual 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.This isn&#x27;t about who lost the most weight or built the most muscle; it&#x27;s about celebrating the most inspiring changes, regardless of where you started.There’s no ranking—just a celebration of the best transformations and runners-up.What Does This Mean for You?This change means more opportunities for everyone, no matter your starting point.Whether you’ve dropped inches or gained that muscle definition you’ve been aiming for, you could be one of our top transformations.Participation RulesThe rules are simple and remain the same:<ul><li>Week 1 and Week 8 Photos: Submit photos with a challenge-specific sign (handwritten or provided in the handbook) within the first and last weeks of the challenge.</li><li>Poses and Clothing: Follow the poses outlined in the handbook and ensure your clothing is consistent and unaltered across your photos.</li></ul>Tips for Success Our other tips and tricks are all about the progress photo you take. These are obviously VERY important to being selected as one of our best transformations. Here is what we take into account:<ul><li>Week 1 or Week 8 sign must be visible and must be either handwritten, or the one we provide in the handbook</li><li>The background should be neutral and clutter-free</li><li>You should follow the poses outlined in the handbook (front, side and back) as closely as possible</li><li>Your clothing should be the same Week 1 and Week 8, or very close</li><li>Your clothing should NOT be altered in any way (example: pulling up your underwear or tightening/loosening garments to make them fit differently)</li><li>Our best recommendation for what to wear in progress photos is a two-piece swimsuit/bikini</li><li>You must submit them on time, meaning Week 1 photos in Week 1 and Week 8 photos in Week 8 (these will always be Sundays 12:01a EST - Saturdays 11:59p EST)</li></ul>We Want to Hear From You!Your feedback has driven this exciting change. We’re committed to continuing to evolve in ways that best support our amazing community. Have questions or concerns?

Are you ready to bloom this spring?

FIT by Katy is now Sesh! To experience the new app, make sure you update through the app store!That’s right friends, our new name is Sesh, as in “did you get your workout sesh in today?!”. Officially, we’re Sesh Fitness App but we’re still the same brand, app and people you know and love, just with a fresh face!The business that started Katy’s multi-billion dollar empire,FIT by Katy, just had our biggest evolution yet. With the new brand, Sesh, Katy is looking to push the business beyond her, and focus on the 450K+ women whose lives she and the app have helped change over the last decade.We’re still the virtual fitness and personal training app that launches 8-week challenges, but now we’re taking our industry-leading programming and nutritional support to a more community-centered space.Launched in 2015, the FIT by Katy app was Katy’s first entrepreneurial venture and allowed her to share her expertise with her community of social media followers. Since then, the app has grown exponentially thanks to our unique, one-on-one virtual coaching and highly-engaged FIT Fam who offer each other accountability, support and guidance. Katy did a great job building and fostering the growth of a proven system - adding more coaches as we grew - that leads to longer-term, sustainable results, unlike what you’ll see from the vast majority of fitness brands you come across today.Sesh is infinitely more than your run-of-the-mill fitness app. It’s one of the only female-founded, female-focused and female-run fitness technology companies in the world. The Sesh Team shuns the destructive “eat less, run more” approach for one that focuses on sustainable strength training, macronutrient tracking and 1:1 communication to help women build lean muscle, properly fuel their bodies and enjoy their fitness journey.In rebranding to Sesh, Katy is putting the emphasis back on the community and the workout sessions they do every day, giving a sense of ownership back to the women who have been with her since day one.“It was always my goal to create something that provides women with the benefits of personal training - the personal connection, the one-on-one coaching, the nutritional support - but on their own time, when and where it works for them.” said Founder Katy Hearn.“Plus, the community we built at FIT by Katy is so much bigger than just me now and so I knew it was time for a new name and brand that reflected that. Sesh was born out of the mantra we’ve preached for years: get one hour closer to your goals. Just get one (workout) sesh closer each and every day.”The rebrand is just the start of the evolution of FIT by Katy. We are focused on developing wholly-owned AI functionality that will further expand our coaching capabilities and enable us to reach more women who are looking for a solution to their health, both physically and mentally.In addition to our 8-week challenges, we currently offer two tiers of monthly memberships: basic and premium.<ul><li>Basic ($4.99/mo.): includes access to an on-demand workout generator where you can get a home or gym workout sesh targeted to body part splits with the tap of a button, our proprietary macro calculator, our one-of-a-kind check-in feature, and more!</li><li>Premium ($18.99/mo): in addition to the Basic plan features, Premium includes access to 50+ fitness programs, weight and rep tracking, private community, and more!</li></ul>“FIT by Katy set itself apart by creating an online fitness community for women, by women. By following our core mission - providing custom training expertise, a wealth of nutritional guidance, physical and mental challenges and a community who can all get healthier, happier and stronger together - we helped more than 450,000 women reach their fitness goals,” said Kate Stinson, Head of Growth &amp; Partnerships.“With Sesh, we remain committed to what makes us so unique while looking to expand further into authentic brand partnerships, build out even more robust programming and focus on being the standard in female-focused fitness technology.”Thank you to everyone who has been in our FIT Fam for the past decade, and we’re so excited to welcome you into our brand new Sesh Fam. Let’s do it!

Introducing Sesh

<h2 id="the-new-check-in-experience-from-sesh">THE NEW CHECK IN EXPERIENCE FROM SESH</h2>The brand new, completely reimagined Check In Experience from Sesh allows you to take your health and fitness to the next level with features that power your exercise, biofeedback and nutrition tracking ability. Checking in with yourself throughout your fitness journey is an incredibly important part of reaching your goals in the timeframe you want to. We&#x27;re excited to offer this even better way to ensure you&#x27;re staying on track throughout your journey with us!This feature is available to everyone with the Sesh app. Below we’re highlighting a few of the new functionality that makes this feature so powerful for our Sesh Fam.TL;DR? Check out <a href="https://youtu.be/Pcr9E5q_JHw">this video</a>, and then just go start playing around in the app!Make sure your Sesh app is up to date with the newest release and ensure you have &quot;hard closed&quot; your app and re-open it. To hard close an app:<ol><li>From the Home Screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause in the middle of the screen.</li><li>Swipe right or left to find the app that you want to close.</li><li>Swipe up on the app&#x27;s preview to close the app.</li></ol><h3 id="first-whats-the-importance-of-tracking-your-fitness-journey">FIRST, WHAT’S THE IMPORTANCE OF TRACKING YOUR FITNESS JOURNEY?</h3>Taking progress photos, tracking your macros, noting physical differences in your appearance (non scale victories!), recording your reps and sets, etc. will not only help you to achieve your goals faster, but it will also keep you motivated along the way.Multiple studies have proven that consciously tracking your fitness journey leads to a multitude of positive outcomes.<ul><li>Makes it more likely to reach and surpass your goal in the timeframe you desire</li><li>Allows you to be more efficient when planning your workouts and nutrition</li><li>Increases accountability to yourself and your goals</li><li>Allows for modifications and shows when and where changes need to be made</li><li>Recalling your WHY and tracking your NSVs can be incredibly motivating on the days you are lacking energy</li><li>Helps to drive the focus and direction of your programming - you&#x27;ll know what actually does, and doesn&#x27;t, work for your body</li><li>Keeps you committed to your plan for longer</li></ul><h3 id="what-can-i-track-in-the-sesh-check-in-experience">WHAT CAN I TRACK IN THE SESH CHECK IN EXPERIENCE?</h3><h4 id="your-why">YOUR WHY</h4>At Sesh one of the most powerful tools we&#x27;ve found is encouraging our clients to really spend time thinking about their goals, and the reason why they are finally ready to make a change, permanently.With this feature, you will be able to remind yourself of the real reason why you started this journey, and then come back to it when you feel like falling off.Your individual why will surface at the top of every day&#x27;s check in, and you are able to adjust it or edit it at any time. To get started, just click the “What’s My Why” area.<h4 id="scale-weight">SCALE WEIGHT</h4>Track your scale weight on a daily, or weekly basis down to a tenth of a pound. While we never recommend using your scale weight as your only data point, many of our Sesh Fam find it important to track their weight over time.If you have a bad relationship with the scale, you can now skip this section completely and still complete a check in! Just skip down to the weekly photos and NSVs as a much better way to track your progress.All of your data in check-ins will save over time, and you can go back and review the changes at any time.<h4 id="weekly-photos">WEEKLY PHOTOS</h4>The bread-and-butter of all things Sesh. Here’s where you’ll really be able to see your progress taking shape over time.You’re now able to add front, back and side photos on a weekly basis. You can edit your weekly photos at any time throughout the week, but they will reset each week on Saturday nights at 11:59p EST. You’ll start with a fresh set of weekly photos on Sunday!<h4 id="period-tracking">PERIOD TRACKING</h4>Feel like your photos are looking a little more puffy than normal this week? Now you’re able to track when you are on your period to correlate some of that biofeedback into what you’re seeing.It’s as easy as toggling on the button when you’re on your period, and toggling it off when you’re not!<h4 id="nutrition">NUTRITION</h4>Our brand new macro-tracking feature is a simple and effective way to ensure you stay on track with your nutrition goals. We pre-populate your Sesh macro-calculated targets into your check in experience and you&#x27;re able to go in daily to set what you actually ate that day to keep track.The feature will tell you if you are in-range, under or over your macro goals and provides a quick snapshot of how well you&#x27;re sticking to your targets on a regular basis!This will be especially helpful if you have a Sesh Coach as they&#x27;ll be able to dig even deeper into what&#x27;s happening with your nutrition. You can send them your macro actuals every day in the check in, or just once per week with your weekly average macros.Don&#x27;t have a coach? Use this feature as a way to hold yourself accountable -- even just making sure you track each day can really be a great tool to hold yourself to reality. Don&#x27;t cheat! It&#x27;s important to know how often you are going over, or under, your goals.<h4 id="cardio">CARDIO</h4>You can utilize this feature to track not only the minutes performed, but the type of cardio performed as well! Before you get it twisted, we know you&#x27;ve been conditioned to think you need hours of cardio to lose weight, but it&#x27;s just not the case. More cardio isn’t always better. Overdoing cardio can cause inflammation, slow recovery times, and makes lean muscle gain and retention more difficult. Read more about our cardio philosophy <a href="https://fitbykaty.com/blogs/fit-blog/the-fit-by-katy-cardio-philosophy">here</a>.That said, we still encourage tracking the cardio you complete! At Sesh we recommend around 20 minutes, 3 times per week as a starting point because even though cardio is great to increase your energy expenditure (burn some calories), that’s not what we’re using it for. We’re using cardio to keep your heart healthy, and putting parameters on the amount you’re doing is going to make sure that you’re not overtraining and hindering your progress.<h4 id="sesh-workouts">SESH WORKOUTS</h4>Never forget the workout you did each week ever again! Now, when you mark a Sesh workout complete in the app, it will automatically populate for you here. We’ll keep track of each day’s workouts so you don’t have to.

Yes, we love a physical glow up, but ya know what we love even more? A mental glow up!The Non Scale Victories section of the new check in experience is where you should be tracking these wins. We cannot stress enough how important tracking NSVs is! You’ll be able to hold yourself accountable on the days where the scale isn’t moving or the pictures aren’t showing you what you want.Here are just a few NSVs we’ve seen from our Sesh Fam over the years to get you inspired on what to look for in your journey:<ul><li>I have more endurance during your workouts! I’ve noticed I’m not breathing as heavy during my runs.</li><li>I went to a social event without makeup because I just felt THAT confident.</li><li>I feel more rested when I wake up in the morning.</li><li>I notice my stress levels have reduced, and I know of better ways to handle stressful situations now.</li><li>I have the energy to take my dog for more than 1 walk a day.</li><li>I’m in a better mood when I wake up and don’t get as irritated!</li><li>I’m sleeping so much better</li></ul>You can fill out your NSV in this section of the Check In Experience at any time.<h4 id="notes">NOTES</h4>Here’s where you can really dive deep into your fitness journey.

When they reply, you’ll still find those in the Progress tab.They also will be able to see all of the other data you enter in the check in. So, no need to re-tell them what your macros were on a day, or your NSV, or weight – they’ve got it all already as long as you entered it!Wondering if this changes anything else? Nope!
