And now our world class, personalized workout experience is on Apple Watch – so your workout is always with you!

Sworkit

Sworkit (derived from Simply WORK IT) is a fitness app that takes you through 5-60+ minute strength, yoga, pilates and stretching workouts requiring no equipment. We strive to provide the simplest way to get a workout in anywhere, anytime, with no room for excuses. 

The Sworkit custom workout builder allows both novices and professionals (e.g. physical therapists, personal trainers, physical education instructors, doctors, etc) to create and share custom routines (‘playlists’) from a growing library of over 170 different exercises. It’s as easy as building a music playlist.

 

Zombies, Run!

In a running rut? Try “Zombies, Run!” Functioning like an interactive audio book, the app transforms a simple jog into a mission to save a zombie-ravaged world. While you run, you’ll hear narration of a zombie apocalypse unfolding. Your character in the story “collects” more tins of food, cellphones and other such essentials the more you pound the pavement. And when the “Zombies Detected” alarm sounds, pick up your pace! You can listen to your own music during lulls in the story—but don’t be surprised if your favorite song gets interrupted by the sounds of gunfire and tearful laments from those who’ve lost loved ones to zombies.

Daily Yoga

The key to keeping up your yoga commitment? Incorporating it into your day-to-day drill. In “Daily Yoga,” you’ll find yoga routines geared toward waking up, going to sleep, detoxing your lungs and keeping limber without leaving your cubicle. Or go with a sequence that targets specific body parts, like core, spine, joints, chest and butt. Of the many yoga apps out there, “Daily Yoga” consistently delivers the most detailed instructions and has the easiest-to-follow videos. The app won’t replace the intensity of your favorite yoga class, but for an on-the-go stretching session, it’s hard to beat. Free for basic version, upgrades optional, for Android and iOS, dailyyoga.com

FitStar

FitStar features videos of NFL tight end Tony Gonzalez as your virtual coach and adapts its workouts to meet your skill level. After each session, you rank each exercise as “easy,” “just right” or “brutal,” and the app will adjust future offerings to be challenging but not demoralizing. There’s an impressive variety of programs, from “Alpine Blitz” for skiers to “Race Day Ready” for those prepping for the hilly San Francisco Marathon—and you can do everything without equipment. For even more detailed customization, you can sync the app with your Fitbit (which acquired FitStar last year) or other wearable.
