7 Best Workout Apps For At-Home Fitness

Even before the start of the pandemic, many people relied upon fitness apps to keep them moving. Why? Because there is no commitment, you can make your own schedule and they are cheaper than a gym membership or elite spinning classes (some of the best workout apps are even free). You can pick a training program that doesn’t require any equipment. Moreover, depending on the app, you won’t even have to leave your house, which happens to be a huge advantage in a pandemic. We chose the 7 best fitness apps to help you stay active.

Reviewers call it one of the least confusing fitness apps, which is high praise.
