Sweat is a personal training app built around women's programs, led by co-founder Kayla Itsines with trainers including Kelsey Wells, Britany Williams and Cass Olholm. You can follow a program that builds week by week or work out on demand, with beginner, intermediate and advanced levels across HIIT, circuits, bodyweight, powerbuilding, strength, yoga, barre, Pilates, recovery, cardio, and pregnancy and postnatal training. Workouts fit no equipment, free weights or gym machines, and there are express sessions for short days. Each exercise has a description and video, substitutions make moves easier or harder, trainer audio cues guide you, and you can log weights in gym programs. A planner schedules the week, and the app adds more than 200 meals, step and hydration trackers, an education section and the Sweat Community. Ongoing use needs a monthly or yearly subscription after a 7-day trial, and the App Store shows many plan prices, so its price is pending.
