Koch's Favorite Fitness Apps
People spent money on gym memberships. But according to fitness and tech reporter Peter Koch, 67 percent of them never went. It may be wise then to try a fitness app, many of which are more cost— effective than going to a health club.
Aaptiv
Aaptiv allows users to choose from a variety of different workouts ，including stretching classes, yoga classes，boxing and weightlifting, according to Koch. It also provides guided audio (音频) workouts, so there's no reason to look at a phone screen, he says.
Nike + Run Club
Nike + Run Club doesn't just track and log your runs with a GPS, Koch says, it also provides audio— guided runs. "I'm a runner myself since high school, and the one thing I see among inexperienced runners is that they tend to go out and run roughly the same distance at roughly the same pace every time," Koch says. "It's easy to understand why their fitness might plateau or they might lose interest over time."
Fitbod
"What's really interesting about Fitbod is that it uses AI, or artificial intelligence," explains Koch. "Every time you hit the weights," he says, "it's not only guiding you step by step through each exercise— including the weight, number of sets and reps— but it also takes your performance from that day and uses it to adjust your plan going forward for upcoming sessions."
Keelo
Keelo is considered a smart program, meaning the app adjusts according to users' progress. The app centers on high— intensity interval training, looks at users' exercise history and adjust each workout accordingly, says Koch. "That's a huge aspect of these newer training apps," he says. "They use this artificial intelligence."
