Aaptiv: #1 Audio Fitness App
Personal Training for Everyone
Need some guidance in the weight room? Looking for quick workouts to do on the road? Aaptiv makes you feel like you always have a personal trainer by your side. The fitness app offers more than 2,500 workouts with audio instructions by certified trainers, with some 30 new routines added each week.
You’ll find nine different workout categories here, including strength training, treadmill, and yoga. And whether you’re a total beginner with your sights set on your first 5K or an experienced runner training for a marathon, Aaptiv also has programs to get you race ready. There are even guided meditations to up your mental game.
Browse the workouts and you’ll see their runtime, the approximate number of calories you’ll burn, and the genre of background music (everything from dance/electronica to country). And don’t worry about burning through your cellular data when traveling; Aaptiv lets you download workouts for offline listening. People who are short on time or unsure where to begin will love the Programs category, which offers regimens like “Touch Your Toes in Two Weeks” and “Walk to Run One Mile.”
Another standout feature—especially for those who are very picky about their instructors—is the Trainers section found in your filters. Here you can meet the person behind the voice in your ear. Tap a trainer’s name and you’ll get their profile page. A video bio introduces you to their style and specialties. Just don’t forget to stretch. Preferably with one of Aaptiv’s under-10-minute sequences.
