No matter your fitness goals and budget, there’s sure to be an app designed specifically for your goals and budget.

Some of the leading health and fitness apps allow centralized tracking through HIPAA compliant backends developed by elite mobile app development services, which integrate seamlessly with various devices (wearables) and can synchronize data seamlessly.

1. Fitocracy

Fitocracy, one of the leading exercise gamification apps recently available on Android devices, utilizes role-playing game techniques in gym settings to motivate users with competition and accountability.

Site and app access is free, while there is a $5 monthly subscription fee to become a “hero,” unlocking several extra features such as duels and an exclusive title. In addition, tracking food intake and body measurements is key in reaching optimal body composition.

Points are awarded for every workout completed through our website or app, and when certain milestones of total accumulated points have been reached, levels are unlocked along with achievements or quests as positive reinforcement. This positive reinforcement encourages you to continue until you achieve results you’re looking for!

As an added benefit, you can add friends and join groups with similar goals or locations, which helps motivate you to exercise alongside them or compete against them. Plus, creating fitness routines on both website and app makes tracking progress easy!

2. Strava

This popular fitness app tracks over 30 types of workouts and analyzes data over time, catering specifically to endurance athletes. Compatible with Apple Watch, Garmin FitBit Wahoo Polar and more wearable devices – there are even “Trail Runs” and HIIT sessions!

Strava has successfully fostered an atmosphere of community within its user base and keeps users motivated outside their regular workout hours through features like group challenges (in which users compete against friends with specific goals within a timeframe) and giving kudos on segment leaderboards.

Subscription-based applications allow you to take full advantage of all their features. They allow you to upload all of your training data, receive analysis of workouts, connect with friends and explore new areas; as well as participate in segments with an option to share achievements publicly or privately. Furthermore, profiles may also be set as private for added privacy.

3. 7 Minute Workout

7 Minute Workout is a free download that provides a high-intensity workout app designed by performance coaches Brett Klika and Chris Jordan to target major muscle groups with short bursts of exercise using body weight alone. Scientific evidence has demonstrated its efficacy at increasing growth hormone and insulin sensitivity as well as increasing VO2 max.

Strava stands apart from other fitness apps by offering comprehensive solutions that go far beyond personalized training plans and progress tracking – it tracks calories burned, uses GPS to map walks/runs/bike rides and monitor heart rate; encourages social engagement through comparison stats between friends; offers weekly/annual goals that help motivate users over time; all this and more can be accomplished using Strava!

Our experts love this app because of its ease of use and wide selection of workout classes ranging from sculpting and barre to HIIT and cardio boxing. Additionally, the app regularly adds new content so as to keep users engaged – it’s also ideal for those seeking an on-demand and live class experience as opposed to just downloading workout videos from YouTube.

4. Nike Training Club

Nike Training Club stands out in an age where fitness apps often require subscription fees or are priced exorbitantly, by providing instructor-led classes, whiteboard workouts and fitness & nutrition tips at no cost – plus, our testers found it easy to select their workout type of choice and time their session accordingly.

The app makes searching workouts by muscle group, fitness focus, equipment you have available (such as treadmill or elliptical), length of session and pro athlete inspiration easy – you’ll even find sessions led by Simone Biles, Alex Morgan and Cristiano Ronaldo himself! If that appeals to you.

While this app provides plenty of exercises to keep users interested, we wish there were more features for monitoring progress and building community. Unfortunately, however, it’s only available on iOS platforms.

5. Headspace

Headspace provides those struggling to maintain regular mindfulness practice with an opportunity to build mental wellness habits through its friendly and engaging app. Cartoon figures in Headspace’s UX flows are designed to look approachable yet informative while its brand image remains consistent ensuring consistency across user experiences.

The app includes Packs with multiple sessions covering topics like Anxiety and Productivity, as well as Singles that address specific concerns. There are videos teaching how to focus, as well as workouts led by Olympians that emphasize mind-body connection.

As well as daily guided meditation sessions, this app offers its members weekly video therapy and psychiatry services at no additional charge if access through their employer is denied.

Headspace may have been created by a former Buddhist monk, but is open to anyone seeking meditation. Some users may find its vibrant interface distracting or too busy; its price may also be more costly than competing apps.
