What's the best fitness app?
Ideally, I'd like one app that tracks both diet and activity. I currently use MyFitnessPal to track what I'm consuming and Strava, sometimes, for my workouts.

- Kunal Bhatiadesign @mercury ยท WrittenCheck out Gyroscope. I'm with @mscccc on this one. You are already using the best apps for the job. Gyroscope will integrate and visualize your data in cool ways!Chris DancyWorld's Most Connected Human ยท WrittenGyroscope will give you the best overview of your health, but it works BEST if you integrate it into other apps. If you're looking for a fitness "app" I would have to ask what type of fitness? I think of fitness along the same lines as apple health. I also try to think of "low friction" data collection, so apps that take the least input and give the greatest in return. Activity: Moves App Sleep: Sleep Cycle Nutrition: MyFitness Pal (requires you to "log" food, but you can scan.) Mindfulness: Calm (requires you to "Start" a meditation to track.)

Good luck.
Tiffany TsoSoftware engineer @Salesforce ยท WrittenGyroscope lets me visualize my days and months with cool graphs and maps. It also integrates with Fitbit, MyFitnessPal, and Strava. Also tracks my music and productivity on my MacBook. Pretty cool because at the end of the month, I can see where I've been and how much time I've spent running, working at coffee-shops, commuting, etc. I really enjoy my Pro subscription because the developers behind it are always updating/fixing the app and talking to subs via a Facebook group. - Aram ShahinyanFounder & Art Director at ZOOM GRAPHICS ยท WrittenAram Shahinyan made this productWorks best if you and your friends are using different fitness trackers and want to compete with each other.Easy to use. Motivational, fun and inspiring tool for any kind of sport activity
- Evan Thomas PaulVP Products, GuideStar ยท WrittenI use Strava daily. The combination of social features, solid integration with Garmin and other fitness hardware, and helpful analytics makes it a killer (cheap) app for runners and cyclists.My favourite application for tracking runs and cycles - includes segments, detailed analysis, live tracking and routes. I use it everyday!tom maurielloowner, thinkscreen.is ยท WrittenI've been using Strava for years, it's a beautiful, seemingly simple app that can provide deep metrics on your run, ride or other exercise. You also connect with other people using the app worldwide.
- Freeletics actually has an entire suite of apps for running, workouts (gym and bodywheight only) and nutrition as well. Their workout are not for the fainto of heart though!Cian Mac MahonSoftware Engineer, HubSpot ยท WrittenI've been using Freeletics for a few months now and I definitely recommend giving it a go. The coach subscription now includes all of their apps (except Nutrition which you don't really need anyway, to be honest - you can find that info in a good book or nutrition blog). The Bodyweight exercises seem to randomly swing from 'kinda hard' to 'make you want to vomit' but I'm sure there is method to the madness!
- Stefan TheofilosProduct Designer, Entrepreneur ยท WrittenAll my friends who use Myfitnesspal live by it.Alex StearnCreating something wonderful! ยท WrittenMy fitness pal. I love it. It's amazing if you are on a diet and really helps you keep on track. Just the act of recording everything you eat helps you stay committed to your goals.James A HazlettRetired ยท WrittenTried several. Like its integration with other apps and products (i.e., Withings, etc.).
- Stacy Maslavamaslou_nastya ยท WrittenI would reccomend to try this app. The app helps you to train correctly anytime/anywhere. The camera analyzes all movements during exercises and corrects you if necessary. So check it out! :)
- Veronica BelmontPM & Evangelist at Adobe ยท WrittenThis is my favorite new app, and it's made a huge difference in my workout routine! Great if you're into strength training and weight lifting!Karl NislowSolutions Architecture + FP&A ยท WrittenIt's easy enough to go to your daily spin class or run a few miles at the gym, but fitbod does a great job teaching you how to strength strain each part of your body. The app is simple to use and integrates with apple health kit. This should be used with a meal prep/diet and cardio tracking app of your choosing.Michael DuckerCofounder of @pinchrent with @maiab ยท WrittenDelightfully simple, fitbod tracks what muscles you've worked out, tracks what weights you do what exercises them at, pulls together a solid 30min workout and links you to simple youtube videos of how to do them.
- Mike CoutermarshEngineer @ PlanetScale ยท WrittenWould be worth checking out Lifesum also. I think you're already using the best apps available though ๐. I haven't found anything perfect for tracking both. I think it's a tough space since what people do for diet/exercise is generally so different. Too much to fit in a single app.Jeff WatersProduct Manager, VIPole ยท EditedI have been using Lifesum too. I like it a lot.
- 6StrongChris Messina๐ #1 Hunter! ยท WrittenAlas, it won't track your nutrition, but I find Strong to be the best workout tracker I've found given my pretty basic needs (tracking reps, weight, time, etc). It's basically a special purpose database!Easily the best workout tracker on the market. It has a great design and feature set. It uses a pay-once IAP unlock, which is way better than the shitty anti-consumer subscription models plaguing most competitors.
- Kunal Bhatiadesign @mercury ยท WrittenCheck out Bitesnap for the food side of the equation. I was pleasantly surprised with how much better it gets. I just take pictures of my meals and I'm done!
- Nick VivionHelping brands communicate better ยท WrittenThis was hunted earlier in the week. I've just downloaded it and looks like a great companion for travel! Assuming you're into the CrossFit style of working out...
- Not sure why the PH page focuses on one feature of the photo snap, but this is a competitor to MyFitnessPal that has been around forever, and has a much better database without the multitude of incorrect food entries you cannot edit.
- 2HealthifyMeNikhil JoisGrowth, Bureau ยท WrittenI've always preferred the simplicity and unfailing database of Healthifyme over other calorie tracking apps. It also syncs with Google Fit for activity data and that is a huge plus.

- Harold CummingtonProduct Manager at Slark ยท WrittenAI personal training is the future
- Gautier FavierProduct Designer ๐Sydney ยท WrittenThey got the last Apple Design award ๐. It worths check it out. It is an AI personal trainer which really focus on the essential with dedicated activities and great analytics. Accessible across iPhone, Apple Watch and Apple TV.
- Emily Kellerttech lover & travel freak ยท WrittenAnother great app from Runtastic! Personalized plans, nutrition guide, and many videos to get fit. There are community groups for motivation too!
- Alex VishnewvskiiProduct designer, Shopmonkey.io ยท WrittenI'm thinking Nike App more useful and simple for use)) Also Nike has similar app for run and you could use both apps)
