The best fitness apps in 2021 that will revolutionise the way you exercise

Here are a list of the latest fitness apps now on the market that can help you achieve your goals from your smart phone. In these apps are workouts, recipes, new training ideas, help with your mental health and more. Some are founded by celebrities, others based on algorithms and all of them have the potential to revolutionise the way you exercise and speed up your results.

1. Fiit

Working out at home feels like a strange desecration of a sacred space for relaxing. Until you try Fiit, that is. Moving telefitness away from the Jane Fonda videos of yesteryear, Fiit has some of the country’s most qualified trainers take you through recorded – or live – workouts. If you love progress and data, it even comes with a heart monitor, which registers crucial data including your reps. $10 per month. fiit.tv

2. Freeletics

There are few things more intimidating than going into the gym and not really knowing what you’re looking to do and not wanting to waste time figuring it out. There’s also few things more annoying than when you know exactly what you need to do, but you’re currently stranded without the equipment you need – maybe because you’re travelling.

Enter: Freeletics. An AI-powered coaching app that looks to solve these problems and more besides. When you sign up, you give some information on your background and your goals and it creates a personalised training plan for you. “What your AI does is look at your profile and the situation you’re in and then at the other 30 million users we have who have a similar profile set and are in a similar situation. After eliminating all the stuff that doesn’t make sense, it finds the workout with the highest probability of success based on who did it and the fact that they returned for the next exercise,” explains CEO Daniel Sobhani.

What if you can’t get to the gym, though? “Every day you can tell the app that you don’t have that equipment and it will provide a training plan you can do at home or in a hotel.” From $5 a week. freeletics.com

3. Centr

It’s 2020 and everyone still wants to look like Chris Hemsworth. Conveniently, the man himself wants to help you get there: set your intentions, preferred diet and personal details and you’re good to go. There are full video workouts, essays on all the different areas of wellness and healthy recipes to get you through the week. The recipes are delicious, the workouts easy to arrange around your week and there’s even a section for meditation. But it’s worth noting you probably won’t see much of Thor once you slip past the payment screens. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, though: with Centr, you’re always in capable hands. $20 per month. centr.com

4. Romwod

Designed by CrossFitters, Romwod (Range Of Motion Workout Of The Day) accelerates recovery, boosts performance and keeps muscle soreness at bay. Focused entirely on workouts to optimise your range of motion and stretch you out, this is the perfect way to complement any hard strength or cardio work in your regular routine. $12 a month. romwod.com
