Nike Training Club is the best overall home workout app, thanks to its free library of strength, cardio and yoga sessions.

1. Freeletics

Best for: intense bodyweight HIIT with no equipment.

Freeletics sticks to hard, equipment-free interval sessions. It suits people who want to train anywhere with just their body, and who like being pushed.

Standout feature: equipment-free HIIT sessions.

Beginners, or anyone after gentle, easy-going workouts, may find the intensity too much.

2. Nike Training Club

Best for: free, varied workouts across strength, cardio and yoga.

A broad library helps if you get bored doing the same routine. You can switch between lifting-style sessions, cardio and yoga without installing another app.

Standout feature: a free workout library covering several training styles.

That mix of breadth and zero cost is why it takes our overall top spot. Check the store listing for any paid extras.

3. Gymondo

Best for: people who want workouts and nutrition plans in one app.

Gymondo offers varied training programs and pairs them with nutrition plans. With food guidance next to your workouts, you hop between fewer apps while chasing a fitness goal.

Standout feature: nutrition plans alongside workout programs.

Check current pricing and plan details in the store listing before you commit.

4. Fitbod

Best for: strength training with personalized plans.

Fitbod uses AI-powered recommendations to build strength workouts around you instead of handing over a fixed program. It suits lifters who want their plan to adapt.

Standout feature: AI-driven personalized strength plans.

Strength work may call for some equipment. Check what the app supports before relying on it at home.

5. Asana Rebel

Best for: yoga-inspired workouts for fitness and weight loss.

Asana Rebel blends yoga-style movement with fitness training. Its lower-impact approach can suit people who find hard interval work off-putting.

Standout feature: yoga-inspired fitness sessions.

Next to HIIT-heavy picks like Freeletics, it should feel calmer and more flow-based, though we haven't tested it ourselves.

6. Seven

Best for: busy people who want 7-minute, no-equipment sessions.

Seven is built around very short workouts. When your schedule is packed, seven minutes is far easier to fit in than an hour at the gym, and you need no gear.

Standout feature: 7-minute sessions.

Short sessions may not replace longer training if your goals are bigger.

7. Peloton

Best for: people who want live and on-demand classes.

Class-style workouts bring structure and a bit of built-in motivation. You follow an instructor and a schedule rather than planning your own session.

Standout feature: live and on-demand classes.

Check the listing to see what the app offers without Peloton hardware.

8. DIE RINGE

Best for: ring-based training for a strong, functional body.

DIE RINGE centers on training with rings, aiming at functional strength. It suits people willing to buy or set up rings who want something different from standard bodyweight routines.

Standout feature: ring-based functional training.

It is iOS only. The source ranked it first, but that source is the publisher's own blog, so it isn't an independent ranking.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need equipment for home workouts?

Not always. Freeletics and Seven are built around no-equipment sessions. Ring-based apps like DIE RINGE and strength apps like Fitbod may need gear.

What is the best free home workout app?

Nike Training Club offers a free workout library, which makes it our pick. Free and paid features can change, so check the current store listings.

Which app suits beginners?

Seven's short sessions and Asana Rebel's yoga-inspired approach look gentler than intense HIIT apps like Freeletics. We haven't tested difficulty levels, so try a few and see.

Can I lose weight with a workout app?

Results depend on consistency and diet, not the app alone. Gymondo includes nutrition plans, and Asana Rebel targets weight loss.

The verdict

Nike Training Club is the strongest overall pick on breadth, cost and variety. Fitbod is the runner-up for personalized strength training, and Freeletics is the runner-up for no-equipment HIIT.

Pick Seven for short sessions, Peloton for classes and Gymondo for nutrition. These picks rest on verified listings and the ranked source, not hands-on testing.
