1. Alo Moves
Yoga is an excellent all-around workout you can do without putting strain on your joints. Alo Moves offers thousands of guided practices taught by leading yoga instructors. Depending on your fitness level and familiarity with yoga, you might choose to use this fitness app to relax with guided meditations or explore various yoga styles, such as vinyasa. If you’re interested in strength, barre or Pilates classes, this app has those, too.
2. Fitbit Premium
Whether you already own one of Fitbit’s wearable fitness trackers or are thinking about getting one, Fitbit Premium can take your daily activity data into account to tailor a workout plan specifically for your goals. Whether you’re a beginner looking for inspiration to get off the couch and start moving more, or a more advanced exerciser who wants to make strength gains, this top fitness app will recommend programs for you. Use in-app challenges to make your workouts more fun. You will also have access to Fitbit’s advanced sleep data metrics and a mindfulness track to help you create a consistent sleep schedule and strengthen your body-mind connection.

Your Trainiac trainer will adjust your workouts to your available equipment and space. As your fitness level improves, your trainer will give you new goals to reach.
4. Obé
Obé, which is short for Our Body Electric, offers strength, power, dance and HIIT classes you can join.

Obé offers at-home strength and cardio classes, each of which takes less than 30 minutes of your day.
