The 7 Best Fitness Apps to Download Right Now

The world changes on a regular basis, and so does our overall focus on what’s popular and hip. And as trends come and go, the digital age looms large from how we work to how we enjoy leisure time. And that fact is extremely evident in the world of exercise. Sure, you can strap on a pair of running shoes and hit the trail, no wires attached. But that doesn’t change the fact there will always be a core collection of super solid fitness apps that stand the test of time. We’re talking about apps that actually enhance the workout experience. There might be hundreds, thousands, or even millions of fitness app options, but we narrowed down our collection to several favorites so it would be easier to keep track of. These are the best-performing, most useful, and easiest to use fitness apps that are out there. Download, install, and use any of these workout apps to make your life what we’d consider to be a more stress-free place.


MyFitnessPal

MyFitnessPal

If you download one fitness app, this might be the best option. One of the first nutrition/fitness trackers on the scene once smartphones became a thing, MyFitnessPal has remained relevant all these years later because it tracks calories and fitness activities, connects with friends, logs food and over 350 workout exercises, and connects to 50+ apps and devices. In other words, it’s the best nutritional and exercise jumping off point out there. iOS | Android



Freeletics

Freeletics

Freeletics is the digital coaching app trusted by more than 53 million people with all of the top app store accolades from Google and Apple, along with being the #1 fitness app in Europe.

Headspace

Headspace

As much as we love all the smart workout apps focused on maximizing your overall performance, physical performance is only one piece of the puzzle. If you want to be a “complete personal pie” you’re also going to need to tackle your mental fitness. Enter Headspace, the medidation app that kicked off the rush to create helpful, sleek meditation and wellness apps. And, it works. Headspace, over the course of several days, guides you through the basics of meditation and stress relief before starting you on your journey to mindfulness.
