Best Workout Subscription Apps for 2024: Apple Fitness Plus, Peloton, Centr, Classpass and more

When choosing a workout subscription there are some factors to consider:

The cost: Some streaming fitness services can get pricey, but most are usually less than the cost of a single class at a fitness studio.

The equipment: Some of these classes require specific types of equipment like dumbbells, yoga mats and more. You will have to budget for these additional costs and ensure you have room to store the equipment.

Streaming options: Are you planning to work out in front of your TV or using a workout app on your phone? Most services offer iOS, Android, Amazon Fire, Apple TV or Roku apps, but always check to make sure you can stream your workouts wherever you want.

Your fitness goals: If you have a specific fitness goal in mind, like getting stronger or more flexible, you’ll want to take that into account when choosing your workout subscription. There are many apps out there that serve a variety of purposes, so narrow them down as you take advantage of free trials.

The lack of one-on-one attention: When you take a class with an instructor, you can get one-on-one attention if you need help with an exercise or modifications. With a workout subscription, there is no one-on-one component, so it’s a risk taking on exercises you may not be familiar with.
