It’s the start of the new year. Closets are being cleaned out, schedules are being organised and gyms are seeing an influx of new memberships. Getting fit or working out to improve your health is a resolution that never seems to fade with the changing years. However, it’s hard to stay motivated and going to the gym can feel like a chore. Now, thanks to the power of the internet and social media, fitness apps are helping anyone stay fit, anywhere. Here, discover five of the best workout apps to try and keep your workout resolution this year.
Equinox+
Equinox+ app members can have unlimited access to fitness classes from Equinox, SoulCycle, Pure Yoga, Precision Run, Headstrong, Rumble, and TB12. The app uses your biometric data to recommend workout routines to help you reach your personal goals, and offers digital and physical classes and streaming options so everyone has access to fitness classes. For members who are interested in the SoulCycle feature, they can even bring stationary bike training into their home, as the app gives members the option to purchase a SoulCycle at-home bike.
This app is perfect for those who are unsure of which fitness program will work best for them and want to try a variety of exercises.
One peloton
The Peloton app might just be the workout to add to your routine. The Peloton app gives you access to classes at Peloton studios in London and New York. Peloton offers a variety of different classes such as strength training, HIIT, treadmill running, and even yoga and meditation.
Users can get support from Peloton instructors around the world, send and receive encouragement to other users, participate in guided programs designed to help users reach a certain goal, and take part in different treadmill, running, and cardio classes. Apple users can also sync the app with Apple Health to track their progress.
Club Nike
Dedicated to running? The Nike Run Club app is the fitness app for you. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, Nike Run Club has a program for you.
The Nike Run Club app connects users with friends and other runners to create an online running club. Nike Run Club users can create challenges for themselves or among a group of people to help motivate each other to complete their workouts. Users can also participate in guided runs prepared by Nike trainers to help them complete their goals and receive training tips.
Like the Peloton app, the Nike Run Club app tracks pace, location, distance, elevation, heart rate and mile splits so users can monitor their progress.
The Nike Run Club app is free to purchase from the Apple App Store and pairs with any Apple Watch.

Have you been hearing people talk about closing their Apple rings? That’s part of the Apple Fitness+ program in the Fitness app. Apple Fitness+ is an Apple-exclusive workout program that features a variety of workout and sports programs. Users can select the activity they want and are given a set of rings to complete in order to round out their workout. The app features workouts like pilates and sports like rowing. More than 25 workouts and guided meditations are added to the app each week to create a variety of options for users.
