Hey, it’s 2015 and we need some new, inspiring and good-looking fitness apps on our phones. Luckily enough, there are so many creative and cool apps that will help you travel fit. Here’s the list with apps that are popular at the Gymaround offices. Use them and they will make you run, move, jump and be quiet, at home and on your next trip

2. What better way to train
for that 5K than to flee
from hordes of zombies?
Zombies Run is indeed the
best idea for an exercise
motivator that we’ve seen
in a long time. This app is
part interactive horror
flick, part personal trainer,
and it guides you through
interval training while
e n m e s h i n g y o u i n a n
apocalyptic story in which
only you can save humanity
over the course of eight
weeks. For iOS and Android.

WATERMINDER
W a t e r M i n d e r i s a l l a b o u t
reminding you to drink water
throughout the day, so that you
can stay hydrated. The app has a
very simple purpose, but it can
still be surprisingly valuable. The
interface is designed around
simplicity to nail the singular
focus of the app. The main screen
delivers a single button allowing
you to add in a cup or bottle of
water that you drank. Available
for iPhone, Android and Apple
Watch.

CODY APP
Cody offers users inside connections
to a fitness community where they
can share and complete workouts
by following new and old friends.
With its most recent update, Cody
now allows trainers to post their
favorite workouts and fitness
programs into the community and
your feed (if you’re following those
trainers). Cody also allows trainers
to share multimedia content within
Cody as well, bringing video to the
app’s community. For iOS and
Android.

PACT
For those who value money as incentive, this one’s
for you. Formerly known as GymPact, this app
encourages users to put their money where their
mouth is. Getting fit and staying healthy are after
all no easy goals. Pact uses cash stakes to help you
achieve your health goals, week after week.
To use the app, you can chose to make a pact to
exercise, log your meals on MyFitnessPal.com or
eat vegetables for a certain number of days.
Commit to eating healthy or pay the consequences
The pot is communal, and there are a lot of
slackers out there pouring money into it.

Sworkit
No gym? No time? Stuck in your hotel
room? Sworkit is a fine solution for
squeezing in a quick strengthening,
cardio, or stretching session. It is
designed with busy people in mind
with high-intensity bodyweight
workouts that you can make as short
as five minutes and as long as an
hour.
All you do is choose the amount of
time you have to exercise, what kind
of workout you want, and then do
what Sworkit tells you to do. If you
don't know how to perform a given
exercise, examples will be shown on
screen to help you out.

7. CALM
6
Part of the reason meditation can be so
challenging is because it’s hard for us to
really tune out from all that’s around us. You
start to focus on your breathing, but then
you remember that email you forgot to send
or that bill you was about to pay – bye bye
inner peace, hello little stress moment…
On Calm.com, a soothing voice announces
the practice of doing nothing but focusing on
your breath—just for two minutes. Or ten.
You can choose a scenery, and the length of
practice. In the site and mobile app, you
choose from several relaxing nature scenes,
then select between a 2, 10, or 20 minute
session.

8. 7
Google keep
If you’ve ever woken up in the middle of
the night with an ingenious idea only to
forget it by the time you get up in the
morning, you need Google Keep. The
app is the perfect place for note taking,
making to-do lists, and filing away any
random ideas and inspiration.
Say bye-bye to all of those random
scraps of paper lying around your
home. And the app even supports
voice-recorded notes (because we all
know the best inspiration comes when
we’re in the shower). The app has a
slick, clean interface.

9. 8
HUMAN
Human is the exercise tracker with a soul.
Unlike the Nike+ FuelBand, which counts
your exercise using "Fuel Points," or Moves, a
popular app which counts your steps or
distance travelled, Human uses a concrete
goal anybody can understand: 30 minutes of
exercise per day, automatically tracking
different sorts of physical activity by using
the phone’s passive location services.

10. 9
PZIZZ
Pzizz is an audio-generation engine
that is capable of producing over one
hundred billion combinations of
tracks that sound almost exactly
alike. In reality, Pzizz creates a
different soundtrack every time you
use it. In theory, this helps keep the
app from becoming familiar. It uses a
randomization algorithm that gives it
over 100 billion different sounds. It
guides you through 20 minutes of
s o o t h i n g s o u n d s a n d s p o k e n
relaxation coaching, and you don’t
even need to fall asleep all the way to
benefit—just zone out until the end
of the routine and you’ll feel
refreshed.

11. 10
CHEW IT WELL Whereas we first thought of this app as one
giant jest, Chewitwell is in fact a very serious
tool that is designed to help you to eat with
the right speed. This app supposedly fights
indigestion and (therefore) helps you to
loose weight by eating slow. But how slow is
slow? Let this app tell you. Cue it up as you
start a meal and the timer will let you know
when you're due for the next bite.

12. CARROT Carrot is a sarcastic computer
character that wants you to get
things done, and there are three
Carrot apps that can help you do this.
The first Carrot app was a to-do list
app, then they came out with an
alarm clock to help users wake up on
time, and the recent addition was
created to make you work out, and
it’s called Carrot fit!
Carrot has two personalities. The
happy Carrot takes joy in seeing you
succeed, and showers you with praise
for completing tasks. The angry
Carrot hates you simply because you
exist, and only takes joy in showering
y o u w i t h i n s u l t s a n d p e t t y
sideswipes.

13. AIRPLANE YOGA
Not afraid of being the weirdo in the airplane? Airplane Yoga will guide you
through meditation techniques or simple exercises to lessen tension on
your back and neck while flying. If you do travel a lot, Airplane Yoga can
help you avoid jet lag and traveler’s fatigue. Created just for people who
are looking for an app to couple yoga with travel, Airplane Yoga offers
users a way to make travel a more Zen like experience. You can get a good
stretch, feel more relaxed and not bother everyone around you.
