What is Aaptiv?

Aaptiv gives you unlimited access to audio-based fitness classes led by certified professional trainers — of which have some great playlists, too.

Here to change the workout class game is Aaptiv, an on-demand audio fitness app that brings both the power of a personal motivator and the necessity of well-curated music directly to your phone in the form of digital classes you can take literally anywhere.

There are more than 2,500 guided workouts and they come in categories like running and walking, elliptical, yoga, strength training, indoor cycling, stretching, meditation, and more. The company reportedly adds about 40 new classes each week, allowing users to easily refresh their routine without feeling like they’re repeating anything.

The true beauty of Aaptiv is that there is literally a class for every fitness interest and level. And at $14.99/month ($99.99/year) for unlimited access to hundreds of instructor-led workouts, it’s more than affordable, especially for anyone already spending boutique-level money for studio style classes. So, whether you’re looking for an extra push in your personal workouts or simply couldn’t get a spot in your favorite Flywheel class this week, the Aaptiv app provides the fresh way to work out the way you need.

Aaptiv is the number 1 audio fitness app in the App Store

Aaptiv already has over 200,000 paying subscribers

Aaptiv can be used anywhere at any time

Aaptiv is like having a trainer in your ear telling you exactly what to do during your workout.

Aaptiv isn’t a heart rate monitor and doesn’t sync (or interfere) with your other devices.

You can continue to wear your heart rate monitor and capture data with it while you’re working out with the Aaptiv trainers.

The Workouts in Aaptiv

The workouts are divided up by category and athletic level.  

There are new workouts added all the time and the app will eventually start to recommend workouts to you based on the routines you’ve done.

Aaptiv is the rare workout app that has figured out how to turn the thing-you-use-twice-and-then-delete-from-your-phone into your next fitness app-obsession.

What’s Aaptiv’s secret habit-forming formula?

1. Fresh workouts –  Aaptiv adds 30 new classes across several categories, like strength training, running, and yoga, every week to the app.
2. A killer soundtrack – Aaptiv workouts are audio-based and perfectly paced to a playlist of exactly the sort of music you want to hear when you’ve got one more sprint interval to get through on the treadmill.
3. A supportive community – Aaptiv has over 200,000 members, many of whom actively participate with Team Aaptiv. The group is equal parts inspiring, motivating and welcoming.
4. Your own artificially intelligent-assistant – Coach is Aaptiv’s newest feature, an AI-based platform that builds you a personalized health and fitness plan for every day of the week, and then holds you accountable.

When you sign up for Aaptiv, you will be prompted to share information about your health goals, workout preferences (such as days and timeframes), lifestyle habits and even what kind of workout equipment you have access to. From there, Aaptiv Coach will provide you with a personalized plan to help achieve your goals. You’ll be able to easily sort through recommended exercises, or you can choose a class based on your mood that day.

You’ll be able to track your workout streaks, calories burned and feel awesome about not only the progress you’re making but the time you’re dedicating to self-care.

Aaptiv is ideal for a wide range of people like frequent travelers , new parents looking to ease back into a fitness routine, those who prefer exercising at home or outside or even who need new motivation at their gym, race training like a marathon or 5K (there are even programs to train for running a mile), and, overall, anyone looking to develop a workout schedule on their own terms.

Because Aaptiv is an audio fitness app, it can occasionally be tough to follow along when participating in strength training or yoga workouts, for example. However, the app does include helpful guides you can reference for a visual understanding of the moves trainers are encouraging you to do, and the trainers are highly skilled at an audio-delivery of workout instructions and encouragement. For most people, you’ll find that not having to watch your phone for the entire workout adds to the enjoyment.
