Aaptiv: The App That Gives You On-Demand Audio Fitness Straight From Your Phone

Publish date: 2024-06-19

Many people make it their New Year’s resolution to start going to the gym and get in shape, but sometimes never get around to do it. We all have different responsibilities and obligations that make it difficult to find spare time for the gym. However, with an application called “Aaptiv” people can workout at any time and place.

The app functions like a coach in your ear, set to playlists with an instructor who sets your pace and tells you when to pick it up for a sprint or slow down for recovery. -SHAPE

What exactly is Aaptiv?

Aaptiv is a health and fitness application that allows users to take audio fitness classes from wherever they wish and at any time. Whether that be at the gym, outdoors, or in their home, Aaptiv can be used anywhere!

How does it work?

The app offers over 1,000 audio classes. To narrow down your options, choose from categories such as meditation, walking, treadmill, outdoor running, elliptical, indoor cycling, yoga, and strength training. You can also select from different training programs such as 5k training, 10k training, half marathon training, and full marathon training. Once you select a category, you will see a variety of classes with different instructors and times. The classes also differ in difficulty, so don’t worry if you’re new to working out!

Why should I download it?

You can receive personal training straight from your phone from a U.S. Navy Seal, a former NFL player, or a certified running coach. Sometimes we all just need a little push to help motivate us, and the Aaptiv instructors do just that.

Aaptiv also keeps track of how many miles you traveled, minutes you worked out, and how many calories you burned! It keeps a log of which classes you have taken and on which day. Users can also save classes they really enjoyed in their “favorites” tab. On top of that, Aaptiv also has an extensive music library to listen to while working out!

The campaign includes 6 different custom 30-day challenges: Run Faster, Run Further, Tune Up, Get Stronger, Lose Weight, and Workout More. Each challenge is different and caters to different fitness goals. Take the quiz to find out which one is right for you and then go on the app to review the schedule.
