Finding your favorite workout app may require a little trial and error because you want to see if you’re looking for a personalized experience or are comfortable with a cookie-cutter plan.
Where will you use the app? Think about where you usually use the app. Do you exercise at home, at the gym, outside or a combination of all three? If you like to run outdoors, for example, you’ll probably want an app that offers location tracking. Similarly, when looking at a specific app, find out if its classes require you to have specific equipment, such as dumbbells or a yoga mat.
Your goals: You should also consider your goals for using the app. Do you like to move regularly, or do you have specific fitness goals (like running a certain speed or lifting a certain weight) that you want to achieve? Other apps allow you to personalize your goals or even connect with a personal trainer to help you achieve them.
Budget: Finally, know that there are exercise apps for every budget — including free ones. Some require a monthly subscription to access, so take advantage of the free trials to see if they’re right for you.
