The 9 best fitness apps in 2026
If you're overwhelmed by the number of fitness apps on the market, you're not alone. There are seemingly a bajillion fitness apps available, and from logging your personal bests to tracking your pickleball wins, each has its own niche. That's great in terms of giving users variety-but when you're scoping out a new app, it can often feel like you're comparing apples to oranges.
Key Takeaways
- Your fitness app should make it easier, not more complicated.
I tested all the top fitness apps while I worked out, and these are the best.
- As someone who's tried almost every workout under the sun, I wanted to create a best-of list that you can actually trust.
For this list, I evaluated over 25 different fitness apps, from running apps to weightlifting logbooks to all-around activity trackers.
- Appropriate metrics : The best fitness app tracks the right things for the activity you're doing-like heart rate, calories burned, distance, splits, elevation gain, plates/weights, and personal bests (PBs) or personal records (PRs).
If it can log more than one kind of workout, that's great too.
- The best fitness tracker doesn't add too much to the cost of staying in shape.
For apps geared towards running and other cardio-based activities, I tested each one with a run or walk (or a combination of the two) of at least one mile.
- While I love apps like these, and they have their place in a robust workout routine, they generally don't collect fitness data-so they serve a very different purpose.
