Peloton is the number one workout app of 2022

Peloton is BestApp.com's "Top Pick," and it's easy to see why. This may come as a surprise, but you don't have to be a fan of cycling or running in order to use the Peloton App. As a matter of fact, you don't even need a Peloton Bike or Tread. The app is perfect for those who enjoy fitness classes, as it features live studio workouts for yoga, pilates, cardio, meditation, tread boot camp, and more. You can do them from the comfort of your own home or neighborhood. (If your workouts take you outside this winter, check out The 6 Best Winter Workout Items to Stay Warm, According to Runners before you do.)

You can sign up for the Peloton All-Access Membership if you own a Peloton Bike or Tread. The whole household can get in on the fitness fun by creating individual profiles and taking part in an impressive variety of workout classes.

If you don't have a Peloton machine, you can opt for the Peloton App Membership as an individual user and gain access to classes via your TV, phone, or tablet. If you go this route, Peloton is currently offering two months free for new app members only, and after that, $12.99 per month.

How the winning apps were selected

As far as how BestApp.com determined which workout apps deserved to be ranked in 2022's top 10 list, the team notes, "We looked for workout apps with features like custom fitness goals and activity logs, as well as expansive workout libraries so that you can tackle your entire fitness journey in one place. While most people find these features helpful, it's important to consider what you need from a workout app."

BestApp.com does stress that it's key to try out different workout apps to see which one best suits you and your body's personal needs. If you know what type of exercise you enjoy the most, it makes the job that much easier when it comes to selecting your go-to workout app for the year (and beyond).
