Hi and welcome to my blog! I’m so excited to share with you all of my favorite fitness apps for beginners, and anything else I encounter about health and wellness along the way. My name is [your name] and I’m so excited to get started on this journey with all of you.
So, you’re ready to get in shape. Great!
Whether it’s running a marathon or just being able to fit into your favorite jeans again (and then keep them on), we’ve got the apps to help you reach your fitness goals.
There are thousands of fitness apps out there, and each one claims to be the best. But who has the time to try them all? And who has the money to pay for all those subscriptions? Not us.
That’s why we’ve done the work for you. We’ve tried out every single one of these apps and compiled a list of our favorites, based on effectiveness, user-friendliness, and value for money.
Best Apps For Fitness
How to choose the best fitness app
With so many fitness apps on the market, how do you know which one to choose? Here are some factors to consider before downloading:
Credible instructors. For safety purposes and best results, we recommend choosing an app with workouts that are created or led by certified fitness experts.
Fitness goals. Do you want to build strength or run faster? Or maybe you’re interested in losing weight or becoming more flexible. Whatever your motivation is, be sure to select an app that caters to your exercise needs.
Budget. While some are totally free, most apps require a monthly subscription cost. Luckily, all the apps on our list offer a free trial period, so you can try a few classes before going all in.
Equipment needed. Most apps offer classes that require some equipment, such as yoga blocks, dumbbells, or kettlebells. Unless you’re willing to purchase new gym equipment, look for an app with classes that are compatible with your current home gym setup.
User reviews. While you should definitely take reviews with a grain of salt, reading what other users think can be valuable intel as you decide whether a workout app will be the right fit for you.
There’s nothing wrong with trying out a few fitness apps before settling on one — the most important thing is that it helps you reach your goals safely and effectively.
How we chose the best fitness apps
Quality. We considered not just the quality of the workouts but also the expertise and credibility of the instructors leading them.
Ease of use. We looked for apps that are easy to navigate and offer filters to quickly find your perfect workout.
Reliability. We read through countless reviews to weed out apps that frequently crash or have streaming issues.
Workout types. We included apps to suit a variety of workout needs and preferences.
Recommendations. All the apps below are ones we’ve personally used or that were highly recommended by people we know. We also made sure to pick apps with mostly positive customer reviews.

Link your profile with your buddies for extra accountability.
- FitBit Coach
Free Download for Android and iOS
Getting kudos for working out feels great, to be sure, but there’s more to wearable fitness tech than showing off your new exercise regime. Using a wireless FitBit device you wear on your wrist, this app recommends walking, running and bodyweight exercises tailored to your daily activity levels. The workouts are shared on your smartphone or computer, ranging from 7 to 60 minutes, depending on the time you have. Step-by-step videos show you how to make all the moves and provide plenty of fun motivation and easy tips, while Fitbit Radio offers various music stations to groove to while working up a sweat.
- CARROT Fit
$4.99 Download for iOS
We can all use a bit of a laugh when we’re starting on a new fitness regime. CARROT Fit brings that gut-busting hilarity using a 7-minute workout routine that kicks a few spurs into your saddlebags. Power through your workout with tasks like Celebrity Face-Punching, and plank with a new perspective using the Dragon Mating Dance. The app does number-crunching for you and syncs with Apple’s Health app so that you can save your workout data in the HealthKit database. If you can handle a bit of sadistic mockery as motivation, CARROT Fit is for you.
- Strava: Run, Ride, Swim
Free Download for Android and iOS
This app is ideal for tracking your activities through the urban outdoors. It has a simple display chock full of data like running pace, distance travelled, and calories burned. You can also use Bluetooth add-ons to collect heart rate and other biodata as you progress. Find friends and motivate each other with comments on workout summaries, or explore the best running, cycling and swimming options for beginners in your city.
Remember, workouts don’t have to be motivational-poster-worthy. Walking five city blocks a day can lower your risk of heart attack by 25% – it’s that simple and easy!
