My Favorite Free Fitness Apps

My personal requirements for a free fitness app are:

• It is not a “teaser” offer with time or use limitations

• It offers a basic always-free side with lots of content and value.

• It is straightforward and easy to use.

• It may offer a paid upgrade, which is fine if it does not impair my use of the free side.

Rock My Run:

• The free option side of this music app allows me to choose my favorite music genre, mood, activity, and beats per minute (BPM).

• Explicit content can be turned off.

• There is no login requirement.

Map My Walk:

• Owned by UnderArmour

• It maps and times my walks, hikes, and runs

• Estimates the calorie burn based on the chosen activity

• Estimates the steps per minute, minutes per mile, elevation gains, distance, and duration

• Extra Value! It offers a wide variety of workouts based on sport, equipment (or not), time, intensity, etc.

• Connects to MyFitnessPal

HASfit:

This is an awesome app! Coach Kozak and Claudia train together and have produced thousands of videos.

• They are so encouraging, easy to understand, and down-to-earth real.

• They always demonstrate the progressions from easiest to most difficult.

• The search feature is easy to navigate.

• Workouts are grouped by time, equipment, muscle groups, training goals, etc.

• Fitness levels range from limited mobility/seated to advanced.

• A paid upgrade offers complete monthly programming

Down Dog:

• No log in required

• The home page is easy to navigate

• The options are clear and varied for your interests and needs. More neck stretches? More breathing? You’ve got it!

Fitness Circuit Timer:

I'm looking for a replacement for Gym Boss. If you know of a free, easy-to-set up timer, please share!
