8 Apps to Help You Reach Your 2025 Fitness Goals
If 2025 is the year you finally promised yourself that you will actually get fit, lose weight, run that marathon, or lift those weights, then you need to make sure you have as many tools at your disposal as possible.
Starting a new fitness challenge, program or routine can be very intimidating, especially for beginners. However, if you own a smartphone, there are a lot of great apps available that can really help you achieve your 2025 fitness goals. Many of these are free, while some require a subscription. Either way, starting with one of the best fitness apps can be one of the best ways to achieve your fitness goals.
They can be downloaded to a smartphone you probably already own, and there usually aren’t any direct upfront costs like a new fitness tracker, smartwatch, or gym membership. So whether you want to run your first marathon, control your calories or just start walking, here are some of the best apps to help you achieve your 2025 fitness goals.
1. Fitbod: workout and gym planner
Fitbot is our number one pick of the best fitness apps on both iPhone and Android. It is a pocket-sized personal trainer with a huge range of exercises that is suitable for both beginners and experienced users. It also has an impressive user interface and can be used even without any equipment.
The full version will cost you $12.99/£10/AU$20 per month or $79.99/£63/AU$122 per year, but there’s a very limited free trial if you want to try it out.
2. Runna
Runna is one of our favorite running apps thanks to its personalized running programs, rock-solid design, and wide range of features you get for free.
I’ve personally used this app for a really solid Couch to 5K plan, and the workouts provide really helpful guidance that talks to you as you run. If you’re looking to do any form of running in 2025, whether it’s your very first 5K, an ultra, or anything in between, this should definitely be at the top of your list.
3. Push
I’ve been using Push as my daily training partner for over a year. It is an AI-powered strength training app with a stunning interface and workout plans designed to give you maximum results in the gym when it comes to strength training. You won’t find anything other than lifting weights for the purpose of building muscle, but if you want to get big in 2025, this is the one I would recommend.
4. MyFitnessPal
There’s an old saying that you can’t beat a bad diet, and that’s unfortunately true. All that hard work in the gym won’t matter if you don’t do the hard work in the kitchen.
Whether you want to shed those pounds, build muscle or make sure you have enough energy for long distances, it’s crucial that you eat right. MyFitnessPal is a major calorie tracking app that lets you enter your goals and goals and your macronutrients (protein, carbs, and fat) to help you reach your goal.
The app’s most important feature is undoubtedly its barcode scanner, which gives you crowdsourced nutritional information about the food you buy so you don’t have to enter it manually.
5. Strava
If you want to get outside and feel like you’re part of a fitness community, Strava’s 135 million members have your back.
Always popular among cyclists and runners, Strava lets you record your exercises and share them with the world, so if you’re ultra-competitive and want to take your fitness to the next level, or you want to take part in like-minded exercises on your first steps , it’s hard to go wrong with Strava. It also offers analytics and feedback, importing data from your wearable and kit tracking.
6. Noom
Noom is a weight loss and diet app for sleepers that uses personalized programs and psychology to not only track your food and log calories, but also change your behavior and thinking about food.
It’s a dedicated weight loss app with a serious price tag (at least $209 per year), but could be a winner for those who really want to delve into the psychology of food.
7. Delicious
Lekker is a much more conventional meal planning and recipe app that helps you come up with great, tasty dishes to keep your diet going.
There are plenty of delicious and decadent recipes for cheat days, but there are also easy dinners, five-ingredient meals, and of course, healthy options for low-carb, low-calorie, high-protein, or low-fat meals.
8. Headroom
After a life-changing experience with health anxiety a few years ago, Headspace is one of the most important apps on my iPhone today. There’s no point doing all that leg work at the gym and at the dinner table if you don’t take care of your mental well-being as well.
Headspace offers a huge range of mindfulness exercises, from short meditations and breathing exercises to 30-day courses. There are even guided meditations for exercises such as yoga and cardio, as well as specific courses for mindful eating.
