Aaptiv Review

Staying fit has never been more important, with science consistently showing it can add years (and happiness!) to your life. Luckily, technology is offering more and more ways to work out from home without needing an expensive gym membership.

Aaptiv, an audio fitness app, will improve your workout from day one. For a fraction of the cost of hiring a personal trainer, Aaptiv provides custom fitness programs, workout instructions, and even a boost of motivation.

Training for a 5k but can barely saunter a mile right now? There’s a program for that. Working on shedding a few pounds but not sure where to start? There’s a workout program designed for that too. Aaptiv even has workouts designed to help you get better sleep.

How it Works

With its audio emphasis, Aaptiv doesn't require you to look at anything happening on your screen, which means you can take your workout just about anywhere you want to. For those who use fitness as a way to get outdoors, this can be especially important.

When it comes to getting and staying fit, there is no such thing as a "one-size-fits-all" approach. That’s why Aaptiv offers over 2500 classes (with more added every week) designed to help you achieve specific fitness goals.

To get started:

1. Download the app and determine your best fitness program by answering a few simple questions. Aaptiv goes beyond basic specs such as current height and weight, however, it wants to know the things that matter. For example, is your primary goal to lose weight, run farther, or reduce stress? What’s your average stress level? What’s the farthest you can run without having to reduce to walking pace?
2. Based on your response, you are given a set of workouts to choose from, plus a personal fitness plan tailored to you. Make your selections based on different music styles, trainers, and workout lengths. Each workout introduction page reminds you of basic data such as the length of the workout, how many calories you will burn, and which muscles you are training, before you get started.
3. Plug in your headphones, and go—it's that simple.

Aaptiv also includes access to a thriving fitness community that shares similar goals—an absolute must to help you keep going even if you are having an off day.

The Aaptiv Difference

Aaptiv offers a vast array of options for all skillsets at a low price-point and is unique in that while it uses an electronic device to coach you, it is actually designed to get you off that device.

Aaptiv’s audio focus allows you to go hands-free and screen-free, so you can focus on your workout form without distraction. Aaptiv is especially well-designed for outside workouts. Whether you are jogging through urban sprawl or completing your yoga stretches in your backyard, you can enjoy your surroundings instead of focusing on your screen.
