Without further ado, here’s our top app list, including pros, cons, and what users have been saying.

Best overall fitness app

Sworkit

Share on Pinterest
  • Price: free to download; $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year for premium subscription
  • Platforms: iOS and Android

Pros: You can design your own workouts and skip tasks that aren’t your vibe. The video demonstrations are easy to follow, and you can listen to your own music.

Cons: A few reviewers note that the transition time between activities is a tad too short.

Tell Sworkit the type of workout you’re looking for (strength, cardio, yoga, or stretching) and the amount of time you’ve got (anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour) and the app delivers the moves to fit your sweat sesh.

If you opt for premium, the app lets you personalize even more by setting the number of reps and the areas of the body you want to focus on.

Best fitness app for fitness beginners

C25K

Share on Pinterest
  • Price: free to download; in-app purchases like ad removal ($1.99) and a Zen Unlimited Pass ($9.99 a month)
  • Platforms: iOS and Android

Pros: It’s a beginner-friendly app that has dope features like audio coaching and calorie tracking. It also gives you easy-to-follow guides for how to kick-start your fitness routine.

Cons: Some folks say the app is a bit too intense for absolute beginners. But keep in mind that you can customize the training and increase your stamina over time.

If you’ve wanted to try running but never known where to start, Couch to 5K should be the next app you download. It’s a great way to transition into #FitFam life. All you need is 30 to 40 minutes a day, 3 times a week, for 8 weeks. Each workout includes a 5-minute warmup and 5-minute cooldown.

Best fitness app for running

Strava Running and Cycling

Share on Pinterest
  • Price: free for basic use; $5 a month or $59.99 a year for premium plan (Strava Summit)
  • Platforms: iOS and Android

Pros: It’s a great way to track your running without a GPS watch. It can also help you find new running routes and lets you connect with friends.

Cons: Strava’s sharing features can be a little intimidating. Some folks feel insecure about posting their shorter or slower runs.

If you’re a serious runner or cyclist, you need one place to keep track of your most recent runs and rides. No other app comes close to the capabilities of Strava. The app can track distance, speed, elevation, calories burned, heart rate, power, and cadence. Then it synthesizes all this data into easy-to-understand graphics.
