My personal new born love in the era of fitness apps. When activating FitOn you are welcomed with a motivational quote. No avertisement, no demands, no nothing at this point. Just you, this quote a a short moment to embody it. After a second or two you’ll be brought to the main page where your programme appears (not when opening the app for the first time though, you’ll need to go through the questionnaire first). At the top of the page the amount of workouts per week that you have selected will appear. These have been selected to accord your progress and interests. In the workouts themselves you have a calory clock visible as you go along. On the programme page you’ll also find an option to chill out with some light yoga and stretching. Further down, you can access a daily blog entry about topics that deal with fitness.

In the browse section you can search the library using different methods. You can search by different categories such as stretching or circuits, by challenges, certain target areas or requirements towards the workout such as time and intensity. You can even make an inquiry by trainers and some featured celebrities. In the advice section you have access to blogs and videos ranging from actual fitness, to nutrition and health.

Another highlight of the app is for you customised meal plans. You will go through another questionnaire when you enter the meal plan section. Things of importance are your eating habits, your likes and dislikes and intolerances. You’ll get a whole new meal plan day by day. A note here: the actual recipes are only accessible when you have the Premium version of the app. But hey, the meal plans can serve as inspiration and orientation and offer us to get creative.

You can also connect with friends. What I really like about the app apart from the highlights is that it is non-competitive and self-reflective.

Are you and I maybe sharing the same FitOn love?
