Nike Training Club is the best place to start because it gives you real structure for nothing. Nike describes it as industry-leading programming and coaching for free, and the library backs that up: curated strength and conditioning programs for the gym, whiteboard and trainer-led sessions for small spaces and travel, plus high-intensity intervals, core, yoga, Pilates, recovery and mindfulness. You can join an on-demand class with a trainer or follow a whiteboard workout on your own, and weeks-long programs give you a plan to follow for the gym or home. Levels run from beginner to advanced, and there are equipment-free workouts that still build muscle. Completed workouts are logged, and the app works with Apple Watch. What it does not do is adjust weights and reps from your logs the way Fitbod or JEFIT do, so serious lifters may still want a tracker. You need a free Nike Member account to use it.
