What’s new
Version 47 · Updated October 22, 2026
Onset just got a lot bigger. Here’s what’s new: Hannah has landed. 15 new Pilates-style programs, from 10-Minute Tone to the 30-Day Tone and Control. Low impact, all burn, no equipment. Nutrition, minus the misery. A new Nutrition tab that measures food with your hands, not scales. Palms of protein, fists of veg, zero calorie maths. You also get high-protein recipes the whole family will actually eat, a shopping list, and an “I can’t be bothered” list for the days you really can’t be bothered. Every program, redesigned. 40+ programs with new artwork, so choosing one feels like browsing Netflix instead of doing your tax return. Each workout now previews every move up front, so you know what you’re in for before you press start. Small wins that add up. Earn XP, climb from Rookie to Legend, unlock 30 awards and collect a set of mildly toxic stickers, each one telling you exactly what you did to deserve it. Progress bars show how close you are to the next one. Proof you showed up, even when the kids didn’t let you sleep. Got 9 more minutes in you? Finish any workout and you’ll be offered a 9 minute abs finisher for double XP. Your core will file a complaint. Ignore it. A proper warm-up. Say yes to warming up and it gets its own countdown screen, four moves, then straight into your workout. Pick your timer colours. Keep the classic look or switch to lime for work and red for rest, readable from across the room or the other side of a toddler. Steps, now properly competitive. Your Home screen shows today’s steps and where you rank against everyone else. Hit your step goal and you earn XP too. Join the opt-in step leaderboard, add your name so people know who’s out-walking them, and battle it out over 24 hours or 7 days. New: the streak leaderboard. Hit your step target every day to climb it. Miss one day and you’re back to zero, which is harsh but fair. Notifications you’ll actually like. No nagging, no guilt, no “we miss you”. We only ping you when you’ve done something good, like hitting your step goal, landing on the podium or setting a new record. One a day, tops, and never after 9pm. Plus: a cleaner look everywhere, smoother follow-along videos and a pile of fixes you’ll never notice, which is how fixes should work. New here? You get 14 days free. That’s two weeks to find out what 20 minutes a day can do.
