Most fitness app and activity trackers work with the widespread myth that calories affect the body the same way as calories do. People who reject physical activity infect a psychological phenomenon called moral licensing, making them more likely to consume rewards for their hard work. The next generation of fitness apps must focus on helping users experience activity themselves rather than setting artificial or frivolous goals.    

A look at a 2014 survey showed that awareness and motivation are the main reasons for the trend towards fitness tracking apps. According to the survey, 30% of the people who use fitness apps use them to get their goals. This is followed by 28% and 27% of these apps to keep track of holistic health problems and motivation.    

This function allows the user to track, set up, and record the training sessions. This feature helps the app to provide effective and relevant fitness programs for the best results. By using this feature, your fitness tracking app creates invisible space in the heart of its users and allows them to track their fitness progress over a long period.    

In such cases, push notification apps can be useful to remind us of our workouts. Fitness apps can also use social and playful elements to motivate their users as seen in Strava, Fitocracy, Zombie Run, and Pact. Activity trackers can improve user motivation by providing support for the community, the ability to track progress, and a sense of achievement.    

The device can send data to the mobile app in real-time while exercising. Push notifications inform the user when it is time to move and when he has reached his destination.    

With the penetration of technology, the fitness app sector produces a lot of activity tracking apps. Activity tracking and wearable holistic health and fitness apps are great opportunities for developers who want to encourage and help people maintain healthy lifestyles. Demand for these apps and the development potential of fitness and health apps are staggering.    

Fitness Apps are a convenient way to exercise and track your progress, including everything from your reps to your daily total miles. Tracking your activity helps you maintain motivation and encourages you to continue working on your fitness and holistic health goals. With fitness apps, you can look at the workout as it is and do what you want.    

Most apps also have a progress tracker and include eating plans and healthy eating tips. Because most apps don’t require a lot of home fitness equipment, they also have variable training lengths and intensity, meaning that people can reach for their phones and exercise whenever they have time. Personal trainer apps aim to provide the same experience as personal training at home with a smartphone without going to the gym or following a personal training plan.    

Some fitness apps can be downloaded for free, but they may have some limitations on access to workouts, advanced tracking tools, community, and the ability to connect to other devices and apps. Fitness apps charge a fee for full access in many cases even when there is an ad-free version. Fitness apps can be purchased for one-time download and cost between $1 and $4.    

For users to benefit from your fitness app, they need to buy them. There are some techniques you can use by offering a free trial, but once users realize the value of the app there’s a good chance they’ll pay it as a subscription and continue to use it. If you want to launch a free fitness app for users, you can generate revenue by encouraging users to purchase your apps, such as advanced features, settings, and premium content which they can access only if they purchase certain features.    

Third-party device connectivity – Your fitness app must work with as many trackers as possible. Google Fit is available in the Google Play and Google Fit app stores, so if you want to connect your Google Fit account to a fitness app that is unavailable on your watch, you must download the Google Fit app to your phone. Installing the app on your phone ensures that you get the most data in the best possible way.    

These advanced features are not included in every fitness app, but it’s worth pointing them out here and there. The most advanced feature is not included in all fitness apps but is worth mentioning here.    

The nearest is Google Fit, which offers a tailor-made link to training videos on YouTube. Some people like accountability and look forward to workout apps where teachers can watch their video stream. But some people prefer privacy and would be better off with offline video or audio coaching through their earphones.    

Most apps are suitable for people who want to exercise on an exercise bike or a conventional bike. People who like to exercise at home can use exercise apps to find new routines and techniques. Dogs don’t use pre-recorded video for their workouts, and with over 60,000 different configurations, people can put together a yoga routine according to their preference.    

Activity tracking apps are suitable for people who don’t go to the gym, don’t want to exercise, or want to get enough exercise. Workout apps are also a good option for sports fans who can’t imagine a workout without a fitness band or other wearable equipment.    

Within minutes Misfit, a popular wearable product on the wrist, launched a fitness app for the Pebble Watch in July 2014 on other platforms. The company has developed an app for the watch specifically to be hardware agnostic and allows consumers to do full-body workouts with body-weight training circuits and intervals.
