EvolveYou offers a holistic approach to fitness that also caters to specific needs and goals. This workout app has a diverse range of expertly crafted workouts, from strength training to cardio to endurance. What sets EvolveYou apart from similar workout apps for women is its personalized workouts based on expertise level.Best workout apps for women in 2024 Photo Gallery 1/1 See at EvolveYou Pros Fully customizable workout routines Variety of levels to choose from Includes nutrition plan Cons You have to click through every repetition of each set to get through your workout Available Android and iPhoneCost $23 a month, $120 a year See at EvolveYou EvolveYou, formerly Tone and Sculpt, is my go-to workout app. As a fitness enthusiast hitting the gym consistently for the past seven years, I've tried numerous workout programs and apps. Still, I always find myself coming back to this one.This app allows you to customize your fitness plan to the point that it feels like the program was created by your own personal trainer. You get to choose the trainer of your liking from coaches with different specialties like strength training, endurance, barre and yoga. You can also select the number of workout sessions you want to accomplish every week (three or five times per week), the level you are most comfortable with (beginner, intermediate, advanced and expert), equipment (you can also select if you will be working out from home or in a gym) and, lastly, nutrition preference. Depending on the program you select, you can expect the duration to be anywhere from eight weeks (yoga) to 67 weeks (strength training).Once you've selected the program that best fits your goals and lifestyle, you'll see your dashboard, where you can find your weekly planner showing the workout routines by day of the week. You can change the order of the workouts in your planner and add any workouts or challenges from the workout library. Short videos and descriptions accompany each exercise to help you do it correctly.One of my favorite features of this app is the meal planner. You can choose from four different diet types: standard (best for omnivores), vegetarian, vegan and pescatarian. With the meal planner, you can input your own meals to track what you eat in a day, or you can ask the app to do it for you. If you let the app plan your meals, it will give you a shopping list and recipes for your meals. Most of these recipes are simple and easy to follow and they usually take 15 to 20 minutes to prep. All in all, this app offers the right programs and nutrition plans if you're looking to build muscle. If you would like to try it yourself, check out the seven-day free trial. See at Melissa Wood Health When my gym shut down the beginning of the pandemic, I made my way to the Melissa Wood Health Method. I'd followed the founder, Melissa Wood-Tepperberg, on Instagram for about two years before that and sporadically took Pilates classes she shared on her profile. Once I was left without a gym to attend, I thought that it was a good time to subscribe to her app since I enjoyed her classes and her inspiring content so much. I subscribed to the seven-day free trial and decided to keep my membership because of how good the workouts made me feel.The MWH Method aims to help you sculpt long, lean lines by practicing controlled, low-impact movements. At the beginning of each practice, you're prompted to set an intention for your workout. The idea behind the method is to work toward a stronger body and build a better relationship with yourself.This app has an extensive selection of workouts to choose from, and every Monday a new workout is uploaded. Most of the MWH Method videos are 10 to 30 minutes long and combine low-impact Pilates and yoga movements. Don't be fooled by the "low-impact" wording -- that does not mean easy or low-effort. The subtle movements and prolonged repetition will have your muscles burning. She also occasionally mixes in dance movements as part of the warmups to get you in the mood for working out. In addition to the regular workouts, the program offers guided meditations, pre- and post-natal exercises and beginner workouts.
