Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to design and refine a physical activity support program called Move, designed for adults with overweight or obesity. Participants will receive a 12-week, virtual physical activity support program called Move. Move includes four intervention components: 1) 3, 60-minute group-based classes, 2) 3, 45-minute individualized support sessions, 3) access to an online fitness membership, and 4) mental guided imagery sessions. Participants will be asked to build their physical activity levels up to 150 minutes/week. The primary outcome is to evaluate the program's acceptability and feasibility from both the participant and the provider perspectives.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Acceptability of the Move physical activity support program - Qualitative [12 Weeks]
Acceptability of the Move physical activity support program will be assessed with results of the semi-structured qualitative interviews from the participant and provider perspectives.
- Feasibility of the Move physical activity support program - Qualitative [12 weeks]
Feasibility of the Move physical activity support program will be assessed with results of the semi-structured qualitative interviews from the participant and provider perspectives.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Acceptability of the Move physical activity support program - Quantitative [12 weeks]
Acceptability of the Move physical activity support program will be assessed using the Net Promoter Score (NPS) from the participant and provider perspectives. Scores range from -100 to +100, with higher scores indicating a better outcome.
- Feasibility of the Move physical activity support program - Quantitative [12 weeks]
Feasibility of the Move physical activity support program will be assessed using the Perceived Characteristics of Intervention Scale (PCIS) collected only at the level of the provider. Scores range from 0 to 4, with higher scores indicating a better outcome.
