Peloton
- Excellent instructors and production quality
- Huge variety of class types and lengths
- Follow along on any bike, treadmill or mat
- Pricier than most workout apps
- Best metrics require Peloton hardware
Peloton's app has the most energetic class library in fitness. You get live and on-demand cycling, running, strength, yoga and meditation classes led by instructors with real personality, and you don't need Peloton hardware for most of them. Production quality is excellent. It costs more than most fitness apps, though, and the best metrics are tied to Peloton's own bikes and treads.
