9 Best Fitness Apps Of 2024

The Nike Training Club app gives users the perks of personal training—without the hefty price tag. In 2020, Nike made the app’s premium content permanently free. Users can access multi-week training programs catered to their specific fitness goals, as well as more than 100 standalone workout videos.

When a user downloads the app, a quiz asks what kind of workouts interest them most and how many times a week they want to exercise. Based on their answers, it recommends a few four- to eight-week structured programs consisting of 10- to 60-minute workouts. Nike Training Club’s workout offering runs the gamut, from yoga to bodyweight boot camps to core training.

FitOn offers a huge variety of workouts, including cardio, strength, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), dance, yoga, Pilates, Barre and more. It even features workouts led by celebrities like Gabrielle Union, Julianne Hough and Jonathan Van Ness. Classes are available in real time with the app’s live classes feature or through on-demand workouts. With a live leaderboard and real-time heart rate tracking via Apple Watch, users can track their progress and fitness goals. Upgrading to the Pro version ($29.99 a year) grants users access to more than 500 recipes, live workout video calls, personalized meal plans and more.

For those who prefer to do their workouts alone, this app might be for you. It doesn’t provide any social connectivity, but it does offer a large library of workouts and plans from which users can choose. The app also enables users to create their own custom workout plans—down to the number of sets and reps of each exercise. These workouts can be specific to muscle groups or exercise types, and data can be integrated into the Apple Health app to track progress

The Workout for Women app is designed with the individual in mind. During the initial survey about a user’s workout goals and fitness level, there’s an opportunity to modify suggestions for any special needs or conditions, such as sensitive backs or knees, limited mobility and prenatal or postnatal status. Users can also select the specific areas of their body they want to tone, their body type and their preferred style of workout (if any).

Freeletics offers users a variety of fitness and lifestyle guidance, including workouts ranging from 15 to 45 minutes in length. The free version allows users to build their own workouts by selecting exercises while subscription options unlock personalized AI coaching and customized training plans, as well as personalized nutrition guidance. The app features over 300 workout videos, including bodyweight exercises, cardio sessions, dumbbell and kettlebell HIIT workouts and stretches.

For those who are motivated by regular goals, 30 Day Fitness offers 30 daily, goal-oriented fitness challenges users can customize based on their preferences, desired commitment to exercise and activity level. The free version enables users to select areas of the body to focus on, such as abdominals or arms, and generates pre-planned exercise sequences. Users can also set goals like weight loss, strength building or enhanced energy for different exercise recommendations. The premium version unlocks daily personalized workout plans, over 300 videos guided by coaches, individualized meal plans and progress tracking functionality.

For those looking for a fitness app geared toward tracking progress and showing change over time, Burn.Fit might be ideal. It allows users to track data, such as time, weight and goals, to compare progress. Acting as a type of digital workout journal, this app helps users log workouts and utilize helpful graphs that analyze workouts to inspire continued improvement.

Successful strength training requires smart program planning. Jefit’s free version contains a database of more than 1,300 exercises to help users plan the specifics of their weightlifting sessions and track total reps and weights used in the training log tracker. The log helps users keep tabs on changes in their body composition, including their weight and body fat percentage. Jefit also comes equipped with set training programs appropriate for all fitness levels for those who want to follow guidance from an expert.

For $12.99 a month or $69.99 a year, the Jefit’s elite membership removes ads and gives users access to advanced training reports, featured workout sets and more.

This app may be an ideal choice for individuals looking for a basic app who don’t want to spend hours working out at home or the gym. It features 10 five- to 10-minute targeted exercise videos, as well as several 10- to 30-minute full-body workouts. Even though the workouts are short and sweet, the app offers a wide variety of workout styles, such as yoga, cardio, HIIT and barre. However, while users can stream videos targeting different areas of the body, there’s no way to build a personalized routine or save progress in the app.
