The Top Fitness App Categories (and What to Look For)

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to fitness—and luckily, the app store agrees. Whether you're lifting, lunging, meditating, or meal prepping, there’s a fitness app designed just for you. Here's how to find your perfect digital workout partner:

These apps are built to help you sculpt, tone, and torch calories—all with minimal equipment and maximum results. Look for platforms that offer:

• Guided video workouts with clear form demonstrations

• Progressive overload tracking (aka, getting stronger over time)

• Timer features for circuits, AMRAPs, and Tabata

• Bonus: Female-focused strength coaching is a major win

Hot Tip: Pair your strength workouts with LuxeIt’s supportive sports bras and 4-way stretch leggings. They're made to move with you—whether you're lifting heavy or jumping into burpees.
