3.1 Mindset
There are currently more than 55 exercises available in the MANA app on topics such as stress management, cold training, discipline and much more! This database is constantly being updated and added to based on feedback from users and experts.
Although MANA contains mindset exercises, it is not a substitute for professional help from a psychologist or other health care provider. We recommend that you always contact your primary care physician or a qualified specialist for serious mental symptoms. However, our app can be a useful addition to your overall well-being and help you develop a positive mindset.
Our mission is to help you improve your mindset and achieve your goals. MANA offers training and exercises to help you develop a positive mindset and improve your daily habits. However, as with any change you want to make in your life, it hinges on your commitment. By checking off habits daily and committing to your routine, you can get quick results.
Our coaches are here to support you in the areas of mindset, training and nutrition. They listen to you and give you personalized tips and advice to help you reach your personal goals. Do you have questions or are you struggling with something? Let us know and we will be happy to help you!
We do not currently have the ability to personalize the listening exercises for you. They are unlocked based on your level in the app and are currently the same for all members.
3.2 Training
Yes, the training plan within MANA is completely tailored to your personal goals and preferences. During the onboarding, you provide this information, after which the MANA system puts together a training plan that fits you perfectly. This way you get the most out of your workouts and work efficiently and effectively towards your personal goals.

During the onboarding, you provide this information, after which the MANA system puts together a training plan that fits you perfectly. This way you get the most out of your workouts and work efficiently and effectively towards your personal goals.
At the onboarding, you fill in your personal goals and preferences and the training plan is put together based on this information. We take into account your level, the level of exercises, what muscle groups are being used, which materials and how much volume your muscles should optimally get per week to make progression.
Want to change your training days? No problem! Go to your profile and select 'My goals'. Here you can change your training goal. MANA will then immediately create a new training plan for you so you can get started right away.
Yes, you can easily do that through the app. Go to your profile and open your current training plan. At the top right, you'll see a round arrow. Press that and a pop-up will appear where you can generate a new plan based on your personal goals and preferences.
We recommend that you use your training plan for at least eight weeks before generating a new one. It is optimal to deviate from your plan as little as possible so that you can actually make progress.
Of course! We understand that sometimes it can be difficult to perform exercises properly. That's why we have added a video to every exercise in the app showing you how to perform the exercise correctly. For the more technical exercises, we've even added additional videos where we pay special attention to proper execution. With an ELITE-membership you can also send videos to your coach and get technical tips and tricks on the go, ideal!
Of course! MANA has a workout tracker built into the app that allows you to easily track your progression. For example, it stores the number of sets, repetitions and weight of exercises performed. This data helps you determine your next steps and monitor your progress.
There are over six hundred exercises in our database, but we may still be missing one. If this is the case, you can send the request to add the exercise to us at info@join-mana.com. We will then put it in the MANA app a.s.a.p.!
We also offer over two hundred and fifty exercises for at home. Our advice though is to use a gym, if possible.
In case of pain, we recommend stopping the exercise. Training with pain increases the likelihood of (long-term) symptoms. Always make sure that you perform the exercises correctly technically, examples of this can be seen in a video with each exercise in our app. When that is going well you can increase the weight and volume. If the pain persists, contact your doctor and/or physio. MANA Elite members can discuss alternative exercises with one of our coaches.
3.3 Nutrition
Based on the data you give us during onboarding, the MANA system calculates the correct nutritional values you need to reach your goals.
Based on the data you give us during onboarding, the MANA system calculates the correct nutritional values you need to reach your goals.
Yes, MANA takes your dietary needs into account. During the onboarding we ask about this and you can indicate different dietary preferences.
Yes, you can change the options of dishes. At each meal time in the MANA app, you have a choice of five different dishes, so there is always something in between that you like.
In your nutrition plan overview, you will see a red dot next to a specific day. On that day, a new plan is generated weekly based on your current weight. If you change your nutrition goals, the new plan will be generated immediately and the weekly nutrition plan generation will take place on this day from now on.
You certainly can! Go to "My Goals" on your profile and then under "nutritional goals" you can adjust your dietary needs.
Yes, your weekly plan will be based on your current weight. At onboarding, you provide your starting weight and the first weekly plan is generated based on that. Then the plan is updated weekly based on your current weight that you track in the app using the tracker. This ensures you always have an up-to-date nutrition plan.
MANA currently has 6 meal times. The number of eating moments was deliberately chosen to achieve optimal results.
It is important to eat regularly and not less than three times a day, as the periods between meals then become too long and this can lead to hunger and overeating.
On the other hand, eating too many meals can make following your schedule more difficult.
Currently, MANA does not yet support specific diets, such as Intermittent Fasting or Keto. But no worries, we're working hard to expand our app so it's easy for everyone to use!
If you go for the ELITE subscription, we can give you specific advice on which supplements work best for you. Currently we do not yet offer this service for the CORE subscriptions, but we are working hard on that. After all, we always want to give you the best nutritional advice!
At MANA, you earn XP, or "experience points. You get these points by checking off your habits every day. With more XP you earn a higher level within the app and you can unlock new content and features. The best performers also get a chance to win an exclusive invitation to one of our events. Go get them!
MANA not only allows you to earn XP, but also MANA points. You do not receive these points for checking off individual habits, but only when you complete your entire daily routine. MANA-points is our currency. You can redeem these in our (future) shop to get merchandise and attend events.
But that's not all. A portion of your earned MANA points also go automatically to the community's collective pot. All the points you earn together, MANA converts to an amount of money with which we support a charity. The great thing is that the community itself chooses the charity every quarter. Read more here all about.
Can happen! Use the home screen to go to the day you forgot: you can still complete it. You will not receive XP and MANA points for this.
Each 1 MANA point equals €0.05.
It is important that you take your daily tasks and responsibilities seriously and are committed to completing your work. If you choose not to do this, you are mostly harming yourself. Be aware that we are able to monitor suspicious behavior through the app. If we observe a particular pattern among users, we will first issue a warning. In case of repeated abuse of the platform, we are forced to pause the account. In this way, we ensure that the community remains genuine and supportive for everyone.

Of course you can! Adding a new habit takes no time at all in the MANA app. Go to the homescreen and press the pencil icon at the top right. Choose "add habit" and select the part of the day on which you want to add the habit. Choose a focus type and search in the search bar or scroll down for the habit you want to add. You can add up to five habits per part of the day. Press 'add' and don't forget to save your changes. That way you'll have a new habit added to your personal daily routine in no time!
We are always open to collaborations. Would you like to collaborate with us? Then send an email to info@join-mana.com and we'll get back to you as soon as possible to discuss the possibilities!
Nice!!! You may also always send an open application to info@join-mana.com.
By following your routine daily and checking off your habits in the app, you earn points. The top performers each quarter will have a chance to win great prizes, such as a special invite to one of our events, an epic MANA trip, exclusive merchandise and much more! So stay motivated and who knows, maybe you'll be one of the lucky winners!
We are currently working hard on a live leaderboard in the app, so that each participant can see who the winners are at that time. Until then, we will share a quarterly list of the top performers from MANA on our Discord channel.
Don't worry if you start at a lower level or enter later, because points are counted based on the current season. So, you still have a chance to win. In the event that two participants achieve the exact same number of points, the winner will be chosen based on who accumulated those points first.
We believe in the power of balance between the three elements: mindset, training and nutrition. If you focus on one element, you're not going to see the optimal result. But we understand if you do want to emphasize just a little more in a certain area. In the future, you can indicate your preference so we can coach you more on that. But even then, the other two elements will continue to be part of your daily routine.
Currently, the beta version of the app is running for a period of three months. After this period ends, we will assess further progress and developments. We have the option to extend the beta version for a maximum of one more three-month period or switch to the regular version.

Yes! MANA is not only for individuals, but also for companies and teams who want to support their employees in improving their mental and physical health, thereby contributing to fewer sick days, more stable sales and satisfied customers. Moreover, your team or company also automatically contributes to charity!
At a MANA event, the online and offline worlds come together! It's all about connecting with a community of like-minded people. Of course, the three elements (mindset, training and nutrition) are central to this, but it's also about creating a 'enjoy life' feeling. We organize all kinds of events, from one-day to multi-day events. More info? Check our event page here.
Want to know what events are coming up? Then check out here our event page. There you will find all information about the date, location and content of our events.
You get the chance to attend an event by completing your routine daily in the app. Every quarter we invite some of the top performers to participate in a MANA event. If you are not one of the top performers but would like to attend an event, that is also definitely possible as long as you are a MANA member.
You can find more information about the cost of each event on our website.
On our event page you can see where and when our events are held and what the costs are. Prices vary by event, so check out the specific details on the event page.

MANA is a community-based platform that all members are automatically a part of. We collectively strive to earn as many MANA points as possible each quarter and donate a nice amount of money to a charity chosen by the community. We believe that together we can make a difference not only for ourselves but also for the world around us.
We convert the community's earned MANA points to a monetary amount. Each quarter we vote for one of three suggested charities. The charity with the most votes receives the proceeds from our community's MANA points.
MANA converts the MANA points earned into an amount of money. That money doesn't come out of the blue, of course: we set aside each month a small portion of all members' subscription fees.
Your hard work benefits not only the community, but also the world! Check off your habits every day and complete your routine to save points that you use to contribute to a good cause. Not all your MANA points go to the common cause. You can also spend the remaining MANA points in the webshop or for events after the beta version.
MANA supports charities that contribute to a better world in all areas, such as protecting the earth and promoting sustainability.
