There’s thousands and thousands of fitness apps out there that are all good and beneficial to you and will help you when it comes to doing your workouts, tracking your workouts and making your workouts more fun and enjoyable so, without further ado, let’s get stuck into my 7 best fitness apps.

1. Strava

Londoners logged 1.35 million activities via the cycling and running tracker Strava in 2015, and the app’s enduring popularity is down to the fact it appeals to all levels of fitness; beginners, advanced and expert all benefit and use Strava.

It’s incredibly simple to use for newcomers, yet offers plenty of depth with a huge array of data for those happy to while away hours analysing their exercise. Strava’s huge community of users also instantly provides a wealth of virtual friends and rivals to compete against. You can aim to nab the King of the Mountain (virtual) jersey for your local hill, or enter the regular challenges for both running and cycling.

The app is free, pro is £4.49 monthly and is available on the App Store, Google Play and Windows Phone Store.

2. Zombies, Run!

The ultimate in running gamification, Zombies, Run! plunges you into a world where the undead run wild and you are the key to humanity’s last chance at survival. Each run is one of 200 missions where you attempt to gather supplies for your base in a bid to rebuild civilisation.

The strength of Zombies, Run! is in the combination of an immersive story with an incredibly sleek app, all of which helps distract from any pain in your legs. There are four missions available in the free version, plus a new free mission each week. For those who can’t wait that long, the premium subscription unlocks absolutely everything you’ll want.
