Cost: $13 monthly/$156 annually | Free trial: yes | Platform: online and app | Types of workouts available: dance, yoga, HIIT, Barre; mindfulness, reiki | Standout features: accessible price, impressive mix of classes

Massive range of classes? Check. Diverse group of instructors? Check. User-friendly platform? Check. Fantastic value for money? Check. Alo Moves delivers on all fronts, securing its place as our top pick.

Staying consistent with fitness has always been a challenge for me, and I often get bored quickly. But Alo Moves kept me engaged, and I even looked forward to the classes. Definitely a first for me!

The dance workouts were fun, easy to follow and the classes were one of the first times in my life that working out didn’t feel like a chore.

The yoga selection is particularly impressive, featuring a variety of styles, including vinyasa, hatha, restorative and ashtanga. Classes range from short 10-minute flows to 45-minute full-body routines, ideal for targeting specific areas like shoulders or back. But it doesn’t stop there — Alo Moves also includes Barre, sculpting, core work and even meditation and mindfulness sessions for a well-rounded approach to fitness.

If you appreciate structure, you’ll enjoy the curated series, such as the DanceBody program with Katia Pryce and the 4-week strength starter series with Roxie Jones. This makes it easy to stick with a plan that matches your goals, whether it’s improving flexibility, building strength, or simply finding your inner zen. It’s also easy to sort through classes by duration, difficulty, or instructor, allowing for a customized experience.

Another plus is the app’s intuitive design, which makes it simple to save your favorite classes in the “My Practice” tab or stream sessions from your phone, desktop or TV.

Alo Moves’ variety and convenience make it a great choice for anyone looking to enjoy fitness from the comfort of home. And at $13 per month, it’s difficult to beat.

However, if you’re hoping for live classes to capture that in-studio vibe, Alo Moves might not be the best fit. If you’re uncertain, take advantage of the free 14-day trial to see if it’s a good match.

Cost: $15 monthly/$150 annually | Free trial: yes | Platform: online and app | Types of workouts available: functional fitness, strength, sculpt | Standout features: combines low-impact functional fitness workouts with resistance-based equipment

For anyone seeking a gentle yet effective workout, Pvolve is our top recommendation. It focuses on functional exercises that mimic everyday movements to improve strength, stability and mobility, making it suitable for people at any fitness level. With input from a panel of health experts, it’s a science-based workout that’s accessible and safe.

An unusual feature of Pvolve is its resistance equipment. The Signature Bundle ($200) includes tools like the P.ball to isolate small muscle groups, particularly in the inner thighs, the P.band to target upper body muscles effectively without needing heavy weights and the precision mat, with its numbered grid to help you stay aligned during fast-paced exercises. You can also invest in additional accessories like ankle weights or gliders to further challenge your stability and core strength.

While Pvolve offers a range of unique resistance equipment, there’s no need to invest in it immediately. A large selection of Pvolve’s workouts require no equipment at all. For example, the Bodyweight Sculpt series is designed specifically for those who prefer a minimalist approach to exercise but still want to see results.

Pvolve offers a wide variety of classes, catering to different needs — from full-body sculpting and progressive weight training to more specialized classes like pre- and post-natal, pelvic floor and menopause-focused programs. You can even opt for plank-free options — a favorite of mine!

The classes were highly engaging, and the instructors were upbeat and explained the movement clearly, making it easy to follow along, even for beginners. And I loved that you could choose your preferred music style or opt for no music at all. Despite the gentle and low-impact nature of the exercises, which were forgiving on my bad back, they still felt effective.

At $15 a month, a Pvolve membership won’t break the bank. However, the cost of equipment bundles, which range from $200 to $625, might be steep for users who wish to unlock the full range of classes.

Cost: $15 monthly/$150 annually | Free trial: yes | Platform: online and app | Types of workouts available: yoga, strength, cardio, dance, Pilates, barre | Standout features: stream workouts to any device, downloads for offline use

Fit Fusion has earned its place as the best choice for streaming thanks to its smooth, high-definition streaming capabilities. No matter if you’re watching workouts on a smart TV, through Roku, AmazonFire or Chromecast or on your Apple or Android phone, the platform provides high-quality, clear playback.

I was impressed at the library of workouts from various celebrity trainers, including Jillian Michaels. You can choose from dance, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), Pilates, Barre, kickboxing, circuit training and others. I also loved that you can focus on specific goals like sculpting abs or toning buns. Plus, saving your faves is straightforward, and you can download videos, so you’re never without a workout — even when your Wi-Fi is having an off day.

While the app is super easy to use, I wish it had more advanced features that enable you to plan a workout schedule. Customer service was good, but there was no live chat available. But for $15 a month, it’s an excellent price for an extensive variety of workouts for all levels.

Cost: $20 monthly/$180 annually | Free trial: yes | Platform: online and app | Types of workouts available: blended cardio, dance and strength | Standout features: targeted sculpting sessions and structured routines

If you’re looking for vibrant, high-energy classes that make fitness feel fun and accessible, look no further than The Sculpt Society. Its dance-based workouts combine dynamic cardio routines with sculpting exercises, offering a full-body workout that got my heart racing and my muscles feeling like jelly after 45 minutes.

The workouts were enjoyable and straightforward to follow, which is a must for people like me with two left feet. I also appreciated options like sculpting, stretching and low-impact sessions, which allowed me to mix up my routine based on my energy level or mood.

With over 400 workouts to choose from, there’s something for every schedule, whether you’re looking for a quick 5-minute pick-me-up or a challenging hour-long session that leaves you feeling like you’ve earned a delicious treat. The platform also offers a live class schedule and specially curated programs like booty-boost, beginner, pre-and post-natal and advanced plans, making it easy to tailor and plan your fitness routine.

That said, while there are options for various fitness levels, some advanced users may find that the workouts don’t push them as much as they’d like. Not that I had that issue!

Cost: $30 monthly/$245 annually | Free trial: yes | Platform: online and app | Types of workouts available: yoga, Pilates, HIIT, barre, mindfulness | Standout features: Practice Together feature that enables you to host group classes of up to seven participants any time, anywhere

If you’re serious about yoga but don’t want to leave your living room, Glo is a superb option. Packed with everything from beginner-friendly flows to advanced Ashtanga, Glo covers it all — plus some Pilates, barre and HIIT for when you’re in the mood for shaking things up. And for all you meditation lovers? Glo’s got your back with hundreds of options ranging from quick breathwork to in-depth mindfulness practices. I found the walking meditations an enjoyable twist on the typical seated sessions.

The best part? It’s ridiculously easy to create a practice that’s totally your own. Filter by duration, skill level, or intensity and jump into live classes whenever you need a community boost. You can save your fave classes to your library and check your completed workouts at a glance.

At $30 a month or $245 a year, Glo isn’t the cheapest platform, but for the variety and quality of teaching, it’s worth it, especially when compared to in-person classes.

Just beware: If you’re hoping for a seamless app experience, it can be glitchy — at least for us Android folks. The screen flickers and freezes at times, which affects the user experience. That said, it doesn’t seem to be an issue if you’re team Apple.

Cost: $15 monthly/$100 annually | Free trial: yes | Platform: online and app | Types of workouts available: running, walking, strength, mobility | Standout features: curated playlists across multiple genres like pop, reggae, electronic, indie, hip-hop and rock

Being a visual learner, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Aaptiv. Our top choice for audio classes, Aaptiv, features spoken-word coaching that allows you to focus entirely on your movements without needing to stop and adjust a screen. Video workouts often made me lose focus as I checked my phone, but the audio format provided seamless guidance, letting me stay engaged and focus on my body.

The app offers a variety of workouts across 12 categories, from outdoor running to treadmill, cycling, rowing, elliptical, strength training and yoga. There’s even a training program for 5Ks and half-marathons if that’s your thing.

The app categorizes the workouts by duration, intensity and format — yes, there are video classes, too. There are also programs like “Walk to Run with Confidence,” “Pilates for Healthy Hips” and “Train Like a Boxer” to teach specific skills in an easy-to-follow schedule.

I didn’t try them personally, but many people appreciate the running workouts, which deliver cues on form as you run with reminders about breathing, posture and foot placement.

Aaptiv is fairly priced at $15 monthly, but if you want to take advantage of it you’ll need to opt for the $99.99 annual membership.

Cost: $39 monthly/$120 annually | Free trial: yes | Platform: online and app | Types of workouts available: strength, Pilates, HIIT, boxing | Standout features: workout planner and Facebook community

Centr is our best holistic wellness option thanks to its comprehensive approach to health. Designed by Chris Hemsworth — otherwise known as Thor — and his expert team, it integrates fitness, nutrition and mindfulness, catering to all fitness levels.

Whether you’re into strength training, HIIT, yoga, or boxing, Centr has you covered and is one of the best online gyms. One of the app’s highlights is its planner, making it easy to maintain consistency by organizing workouts, meal plans and wellness routines in a seamless, user-friendly way.

A standout feature is the variety of programs aimed at specific fitness goals. I particularly loved the 28 Days Strong program because it fits perfectly into my hectic day. With workouts under 10 minutes, it’s easy to stay on track. And with everything from gym routines to no-equipment bodyweight workouts, you’ll never run out of options.

However, according to , a few users have noted difficulties with subscription cancellations. While I found Centr incredibly versatile and motivating, potential subscribers should be aware of this aspect before committing to the platform.

Cost: $20 monthly online/around $180 monthly for studio membership | Free trial: yes | Platform: online, app, in person | Types of workouts available: yoga, sculpt, meditation | Standout features: Hot Power Fusion style that combines hot and power yoga

Love yoga and want to level up? CorePower Yoga is an excellent choice for advanced users due to its dynamic, challenging classes, pushing even experienced yogis to new limits.

I found muscles I never knew existed during the high-intensity Yoga Sculpt classes. These innovative classes blend traditional vinyasa yoga with strength training, offering a combo that builds endurance, muscle and flexibility. I’m sure doing these classes regularly will yield impressive results, but I found them pretty hard-going as an unfit beginner.

The Core Restore classes were more my thing. These slower, more restorative sessions are designed to stretch and relax the body, working the connective tissues. I felt the tension melt away as we held poses for longer periods, allowing for deeper stretches and a calming, meditative experience.

With CorePower, you’re not just limited to online and live sessions. You can also attend in-person classes at one of over 200 studios nationwide. The in-studio membership costs around $180 monthly, depending on the location. Additionally, CorePower offers comprehensive Yoga Teacher Training programs certified by Yoga Alliance, which is ideal if you’re keen on deepening your practice or even transitioning into yoga teaching.
