What you can comparePublished featuresFree & paid accessDevices & UK fitPractical limitations
Published price / access£9.99/month or £79.99/year
Fitness+ offers a scheduled or on-demand class approach inside Apple’s ecosystem. Sessions vary in length, making it possible to choose around the time and equipment available. It suits a comparison of class subscriptions rather than standalone gym logging tools.
What it offers
Instructor-led workouts across different activity types
Meditation sessions
Custom workout plans and recommendations
Limits & things to check
A compatible Apple device is needed; some classes require exercise equipment.
The annual payment is upfront, and trial eligibility depends on the offer.
UK fit: Prices are Apple’s published UK individual subscription rates; hardware is additional.
Augo’s movement tools connect exercise with the wider daily routine. The publisher describes programmes built around available equipment, activity history and optional sleep or recovery data. It can be used without activating its medication tools.
What it offers
Exercise demonstrations and ready-made workouts
Programme builder and set logging
Outdoor activity and supported wearable records
Limits & things to check
AI-generated programmes are not an individual physiotherapy or medical assessment.
Wearable-derived recovery guidance depends on compatible devices and available data.
UK fit: UK developer; direct access to human coaches is described as a roadmap feature, so it is not counted as an included live coaching service.
Published price / accessUnlimited £19.99/month or £119.99/year
Fiit is a class-based service spanning strength, cardio and recovery-oriented sessions. Unlimited membership includes plans and a group timetable, while compatible trackers add live statistics. Compare the full annual charge with a rolling monthly plan before choosing.
What it offers
On-demand exercise classes
Multi-week training plans
Group sessions and connected performance statistics
Limits & things to check
Live statistics require a supported tracker, which may be an extra purchase.
Subscriptions renew automatically; check cancellation timing before starting the trial.
UK fit: The official membership page publishes these UK rates; the annual option is billed as one payment.
Published price / accessFree workouts; optional PRO subscription
FitOn offers a free exercise library with an optional paid layer. Its distinction is the separation between workout access and extras such as offline downloads or meal planning. A free account can therefore be assessed before committing to PRO.
What it offers
Cardio, strength, yoga and Pilates sessions
Workout plans and guided meditation
Social challenges and progress sharing
Limits & things to check
Offline downloads, meal plans and certain integrations sit within PRO.
The UK store lists several purchase amounts; confirm the billing term and renewal amount at checkout.
UK fit: A UK App Store listing verifies local availability; do not assume a US promotional price applies.
Published price / accessFree download; paid Coach plans
Freeletics focuses on structured training with a digital Coach. Its published options include bodyweight work, weights and running, with adjustments for location and time. Check which plan contains the training styles you actually intend to use.
What it offers
Bodyweight and equipment-based training
Plans adapted to goals and available time
Warm-ups, mobility and recovery sessions
Limits & things to check
A free download does not include every personalised Coach function.
Automated plan adjustments cannot examine an injury or check your movement in person.
UK fit: The UK store confirms availability but lists multiple Coach purchases without a single universal billing term; use the current checkout.
Nike Training Club provides free guided sessions with both equipment-free and gym-based options. It is a useful entry in an affordability comparison because its UK page describes workouts and programmes without a separate training subscription.
What it offers
Strength, yoga, mobility and cardio videos
Short sessions and multi-week programmes
Workout history and progress milestones
Limits & things to check
Some sessions need equipment; check the individual workout before starting.
Nike’s UK page says the workout planner is currently iOS-only, so platform features may differ.
UK fit: The UK service page confirms free content for Nike members and links to both mobile platforms.
Published price / accessPaid App membership; check current UK checkout
Peloton’s app lets people follow its classes without owning a Peloton machine. The membership tier matters: an app subscription and the membership for a connected Bike or Tread are different products, so compare the intended use before paying.
What it offers
Instructor-led exercise classes
Strength, stretching and other equipment-free options
Workout history and supported wearable connections
Limits & things to check
App memberships are for one user and do not unlock Peloton equipment screens.
The public UK page did not expose a reliable paid price during this check; confirm the amount before accepting a trial.
UK fit: Use the UK checkout, because US support prices and app-store billing can differ.
Published price / accessPaid subscription; check current UK checkout
Runna centres on structured running rather than a general library of exercise classes. Its UK site describes plans for goals from a faster 5 km to a first marathon. That focus matters if your main aim is a specific running event.
What it offers
Running plans for different race distances
Schedules based on experience and training days
Guided progression towards a running goal
Limits & things to check
A race plan still needs to fit your recovery, health and available training time.
Trial and subscription offers vary; confirm the current renewal charge rather than relying on an expired promotion.
UK fit: A UK-localised service is available; no promotional price is presented here as a permanent rate.
Published price / accessFree recording; optional subscription
Strava is built around recording and sharing activity, including walking, running and cycling. Its free features cover a basic history and community participation. The paid layer is more relevant when route tools and additional performance analysis are priorities.
What it offers
GPS activity recording and history
Clubs, challenges and social sharing
Paid route planning and deeper analysis
Limits & things to check
Detailed route planning and some analysis require a subscription.
Review map visibility and sharing controls before publishing activities near home or work.
UK fit: UK-localised pages are available; subscription prices depend on the current purchase route and offer.
Published price / accessSubscription required after any eligible trial
Sweat’s programmes are designed around women’s fitness, with several training styles and equipment levels. The UK listing describes both scheduled programmes and on-demand sessions, allowing the comparison to focus on the routine rather than one headline workout.
What it offers
Home and gym training programmes
Exercise demonstrations and substitutions
Workout planner, weight logs and recipes
Limits & things to check
Ongoing use requires a subscription; free download does not mean free ongoing access.
The UK store displays several monthly and annual purchase options, so the selected plan’s checkout is decisive.
UK fit: UK iOS listing verified; check trial eligibility, automatic renewal and equipment needs for the chosen programme.
No apps match. Try another word or clear the search.
A MORE USEFUL SHORTLIST
Choose for the job you need done.
Choose a routine before choosing a subscription
Write a realistic week first: how many sessions, how long each session can be and where you will exercise. Then check whether the app offers that format. A large catalogue is less useful if most sessions need equipment you do not own or time you cannot set aside. Try an ordinary beginner session, not just a promotional preview.
Tracking and coaching are different purchases
A training log records what happened. A structured plan suggests a sequence. A class library provides demonstrations or guided sessions. None automatically gives you individual clinical assessment or live form correction. Check whether feedback comes from a person, a rule or an automated system, especially if an app describes its plans as personalised.
The true cost includes your setup
Add any required watch, gym membership, weights or bike to the subscription comparison. A yearly plan can have a lower monthly equivalent while requiring a much larger upfront payment. Check trial conversion, cancellation and which subscription tier includes the sessions you actually intend to use. Family or device bundles can change the relevant price.
Make the first month measurable
Use a simple measure you control, such as sessions completed or minutes available, instead of treating predicted calorie burn as an exact target. Review whether the programme fits your week before renewing. If you need advice about exercising with a condition, symptoms, pregnancy or recovery, ask an appropriate professional rather than treating an app’s generic plan as a medical assessment.
How this comparison was prepared
Med Easy checked official product information and UK app-store listings on 26 October 2026. The ten entries are a selected set, not a complete market list. We have not scored the apps, tested every feature, verified comparative results or claimed a registered-clinician review. UK focus means we checked for relevant UK access or information; it does not mean every app was built in Britain.
Where a reliable comparable UK price was unavailable, we say to check the current checkout instead of converting a US price or inventing a billing period. Promotions, account eligibility, store and subscription tier can change the charge. Practical caveats are our interpretation of the published offer, not a survey of complaints.
Inclusion and relationships: Augo appears in every category because its published tools overlap these uses. Its website identifies Medstack as its operator and funder, alongside Monj, iGovy, Ogovy and Dayo, the medicine comparison sites Med Easy links to. Inclusion is not an independent award. Read Augo’s ownership statement and Med Easy’s relationship disclosure.
Before sharing health information, read the app’s privacy terms: what is stored, what reaches AI or analytics services, what appears publicly and how export or deletion works. A convenient tool still deserves a deliberate data-sharing choice.
Questions before you choose
Does a free fitness app need paid equipment?
Sometimes. Check each app’s workout requirements and device compatibility. Free download or free software does not mean every workout can be completed without equipment.
Why are running apps beside workout libraries?
Both help organise activity, but they do different jobs. Each entry explains its focus so you can compare the kind of support you need rather than an arbitrary score.
