Gyms are still closed, cities are closed, and I'm not a dog. All of these things have led to my lack of balance in my daily calculations, and I desperately needed a home remedy. In the video above, I test five resources to find out which one is best for the times we live in.
Best: Nike Training Club
I was immediately impressed with the Nike Training Club (IOS, Android) where, after a quick registration process, I received a message saying that Nike was offering his Premium service for free during coronavirus violence. Access by stealth produced workouts led by professional trainers and programs designed to prepare me for what would cost me $ 9.99 / month. YesFor general non-epidemic times, most Nike & # 39; s 300+ uses are available without a Premium subscription.
The app itself is managed and easy to use. It was easy to sort through the applications and find out what I couldn't do without equipment in my tiny New York City apartment. I can even filter by skill level, time, and type of exercise.
Work on their own begins with warmth, as a strengthening voice guides you through each process. A hanging video makes it easy to make your form beautiful, and I've never found myself falling behind or feeling frustrated. Applications are easy to follow, but that doesn't mean they're easy. A free 16 minute workout called the Full Body Goal Crusher got me to the end. Maybe that means more to me than exercise.
The app also tracks your usage and motivates you for goals and achievements. Overall, it sounds like a complete package.
All others: Peloton, Adidas Training, Fitbit Trainer, Adaptiv
All the other apps I tested went down somehow.
Peloton& # 39; S (IOS, Android) expensive subscriptions ($ 12.99 / month) give you access to daily classes and professional trainers, but just got a boost for me. The coaches are strong, vocal, and quickly move from one system to the nest. That's just not something I shouldn't do. I don't need someone to scream, "DON'T NEED TO GIVE UP!" to my ear as I shiver in the wooded area.
Adidas training (IOS, Android) and Fitbit Trainer (IOS, Android) were like the Nike Training Club, but I didn't rate it. Adidas has 30 to use as well, and most of them are free, it just feels like the app can be updated regularly. The Fitbit Trainer shuts down most of its use after a $ 9,99 / month subscription, and its interface no longer works. It was almost impossible for me to find workouts that could be done at home without machines.
I never got there to get tested Adaptiv (IOS, Android) because the registration-scummy process was so bad that I was completely turned off using it. The app locks all its usage and features after a $ 14.99 / month subscription, and there's no free trial unless you sign up for the $ 99.99 / year option. I couldn't even try a basic workout, and the app always reminded me that I needed to sign up. No thanks.
I will continue to stick with the Nike Training Club for this disease, and & # 39;an app that I recommend to anyone who wants to get a good workout while at home.
