Best Workout Subscription Apps for 2022: Apple Fitness Plus, Peloton, Daily Burn and More
The convenience of working out from home is hard to beat. While in-person fitness classes can provide some much-needed structure to your routine, an online workout subscription service offers you the best of both worlds.
You can get all the instruction and perks that come with a gym membership without having to share your space, germs or equipment with other gym-goers. All you need to get started is internet access and a smart device like a phone, tablet or TV, and you’re ready to jump into a variety of different virtual classes.
Adding strength training, HIIT or cardio home workouts to your schedule is easier than you think, with the best streaming workouts only a subscription or app away. They offer large libraries of strength-training, cardio and other fitness classes that you can stream as many times as you want — just like Hulu and Netflix do for movies and TV shows. You pay a flat monthly fee to view unlimited workout classes on your TV, computer, tablet or phone.
Usually a class will be prerecorded and available on demand, but some services (such as Peloton and Daily Burn) also offer live classes that you can tune into.

With so many options to choose from, how do you decide which workout subscription app is best for you? In this guide, I cover the best ones and what to consider before signing up.
Just a note: I’ve chosen not to cover any services for fitness programs that are exclusive to a specific product, such as Mirror. This list includes services anyone can sign up for without purchasing any workout equipment to get started. We update this list of the best streaming workouts periodically so that you can find the right workout subscription app for you.
