While you can filter searches by length, style, teacher etc, we loved the keyword search – fatigue, stress and PMS all bring up a wealth of crafted classes and meditations for whatever’s bringing you down.īookmarking classes adds them to your library, and helps the app recommend content to you in future. The quality of teaching is really, really good: teachers take obvious pride in their online classes, with the same level of thoughtful sequencing, verbal cues and adaptations you’d get in a studio class. A glossy app, it has an incredible number of teachers – like Amy Ippoliti and Jason Crandell – and every style of yoga you can think of. This is the best online yoga studio we’ve tried. The app is incredibly sleek and adept at personal-trainer style psychology: it measures your streaks and active days, and keeps you accountable with push notifications. We loved the outdoor series, coached workouts for runners and walkers off the treadmill. But the bike is just the tip of what this app offers: from yoga to bootcamp, there are an incredible number of workouts and series included in your membership, as well as multiple live daily classes. If your routine is feeling a little dull, one of the app’s music themed rides (think classic rock or the Eighties) will shake you out of your rut. Obviously designed to fill the gap that your lunchtime or after work workout used to occupy, instructors are heavy on the positive affirmations and high intensity bursts. Its spin workouts, which is what it’s famous for, will transform your home or gym bike sessions. Of all the live gym-turned-livestream workouts we’ve tried, Peloton remains our favourite.

We may earn commission from some of the retailers, but we never allow this to influence selections, which are formed from real-world testing and expert advice.
But Cosmic Kids Yoga is a real gem: at the very least, you’ll get to lie down for a couple of minutes at the end. We’ve deliberately included apps here for absolute fitness beginners – Couch to 5k, for example, as well as programs targeted at people with injuries or limited mobility – DDP Yoga and Sworkit are excellent for this.įinally, we wanted to include something for exhausted parents and carers: a number of these apps have child-friendly offerings, like Sworkit. If jumping, squatting or swinging a kettlebell is out of the question for you, or if running or yoga feels intimidating, there are still plenty of options. One issue we ran into while testing was the level of knowledge and ability that some apps assumed, even at the beginner level.
