The at-home fitness universe existed well before March, but COVID-19 put it on the express train to ubiquity. This year, living room yoga classes and backyard HIIT workouts were all the rage. And along the way, the Well+Good staff discovered a few streaming services that grew near and dear to our hearts as the months flipped by.
From virtual running coaches to trampoline streaming services to exercise apps that barely make you move at all, these are the ten at-home workouts we’ll be doing even when gyms reopen their doors for good. We hope you’ll grab your yoga mat and join us (virtually) for one of our faves.
1. Obé, $27 per month
Fitness editor Zoë Weiner highly recommends Madelaine O’Connell‘s Sculpt class and Tiffani Robins’s Bounce Classes on this pastel-colored platform. Cardio and strength training? Check and check.

2. P.volve, $20 per month
“You don’t move a lot, and yet you definitely feel it. I don’t know—it’s magic I guess,” says Well+Good’s managing editor Sam Leal of her love of P.Volve. This fitness regimen combines resistance training with high-intensity and low-impact movements to help you target your teeny-tiniest muscles.

3. Nike Run Club, Free
At the beginning of the pandemic, I was in a running rut. My 2019 New York City Marathon hadn’t gone the way I’d hoped—and I was nursing what felt like a four-month-long disappointment hangover. Then came Nike Run Club’s Coach Bennett. Mile by mile, he reminded me why putting one foot in front of the other is worth it. If you’ve never downloaded the app and taken it on a 5K, it’s completely free—and I highly recommend it.

4. The Class, $40 per month
If you roll yoga, Pilates, cardio, dance, and a certain je ne sais quoi into a 50-minute sesh, you’ve got The Class. It’s the beloved workout for Well+Good’s director of creative development, Ella Dove—and that’s saying a lot because Ella tries everything.
