There are a variety of frequently asked questions that make going to the gym feel intimidating. Am I doing the right workouts to meet my fitness goals? Is my form correct? How many reps should I do? Can I skip leg day? This is were a personal trainer is so valuable. However, finding a local fitness coach and creating a weekly schedule to meet can be difficult. The Future app (not to be confused with the Atlanta rapper) is a digital personal training platform that connects you with a certified trainer to help plan out your goals and stay on top of your workout program all through an app, at your own pace and anywhere you want.
Most fitness app’s market their product as a “personalized experience” that’ll typically let you choose the kind of workout you do, but with Fitness, the app goes a lot further, offering a one-on-one instructor experience with an actual human fitness coach to help develop a plan. Users have the ability to choose from one of their 130+ expert coaches who offer training for over 25 sports, including crossfit, bodybuilding, cycling, combat sports, and yoga.

There’s also the option to choose the coaches level of intensity. Do you want someone to really push you to stay on top of your goals? They have a coach for you. If you want a more laid back instructor, the option is there. Do you want someone who is certified in strength training versus cardio and high-intensity interval training? The choice is yours.
Once you’ve matched with the right coach, they will help keep you on track and offer guidance throughout your program. Each time you launch the app, you’re greeted with a personalized recording from your coach where they go over your goals and your recent progress. They will also leave recordings for specific workouts, providing pointers and helpful tips throughout the week. The app allows you to pause and start the coach’s prerecorded video so you can progress through the exercises at your own pace.

Two caveats though. One, the app does require you to have your own exercise equipment. So if your workouts require weights, you’ll need access to a gym or specific weights at home. The second, Future is only available on IOS devices at the moment, but the company says Android support is on its road map. On the flip side, however, if you have an iPhone and even an Apple Watch, you can keep track your fitness data right from your wrist with ease.
For new users, Future normally costs $99 for your first month and $199 a month after that. However, if you use code: billboard right now, you can get your first month for just $29. If for any reason you need to cancel, you may do so within the first 30 days to get a full refund. Sign up for Future below.
