The best free fitness apps
Home training
The first application that I propose is called Home Training and it offers both a free seven-day package and a series of paid services (a complete cycle currently costs €41,99 per year). When you open the app for the first time, it will ask you to select your gender and therefore specify the part of your body you want to focus the training on (arms, chest, abs, legs, etc.); It will then ask you to set a goal, such as losing weight or getting toned, and create a training program based on the parameters you enter.

adidas Runtastic Training
Adidas Training is an application developed by the well-known sporting goods manufacturer and is available in free and premium versions starting at €9,99 per month. To access all functions you need a Runtastic account or a Google or Facebook account (which can be activated using the corresponding buttons), from which you can access your profile to select the desired training goals. Like the Home Workout app, Adidas Training also offers training packages divided into categories, depending on which body part you want to focus on.

Nike Training Club
Nike Training Club is a very complete app that offers, among other things, integration with the Apple Watch. The operation is substantially identical to that of the other fitness applications that I have presented to you, because it requires registration and then allows you to select the muscle group on which you want to intervene with the training. However, individual workouts must be downloaded from time to time and are characterized by a voice guide that accompanies you as you progress.

Sox
Thenx is a somewhat unique case in the panorama of fitness applications, because it is entirely dedicated to the practice of calisthenics, an ancient gymnastic art based on the use of rings, weights, bars and parallel bars. The app focuses on the use of short video guides recorded by industry experts that show step-by-step exercises to be performed and features both a free trial and paid packages (registration for the free trial is also required).

Fitbit
Fitbit is a cross between a fitness app and a highly advanced calorie counter, which benefits greatly from integration with wearable equipment sold by Fitbit itself. The main feature of the application is the presence of a series of highly analytical monitors, which allow you to monitor your heart rate, monitor your sleep or accurately record your fluid intake during training to keep your hydration under control.
There is also a database of approximately 350.000 foods for the calorie counter function, with a handy barcode reader for easy food identification. The app has some free and some paid features, and still requires registration on first launch.

yazio
Yazio is not an app focused specifically on fitness, but rather on wellness and 360-degree wellness. In fact, it is useful to control the amount of calories consumed during meals and to set goals related to achieving the ideal weight. After a configuration phase of the application, in which it is possible to enter your current data (weight, height, age), the application develops a personalized plan based on our interests, that is, diversified according to the need to lose weight, gain muscle. mass or to maintain the weight gained.
The full-featured package, which includes a recipe database and meal programs, currently costs €29,99/year, while the calorie counter feature is free.

MyFitnessPal
MyFitnessPal is a calorie counter application very similar to Yazio, from which it is differentiated by the promises of its developers, especially by a larger and more updated food database, which currently covers around 3 million different dishes. Unlike Yazio, to use the application you need to register and many functions are only available by purchasing a subscription whose cost is around 9,99 euros per month.
