TL;DR: Get your workout training through audio with a one-year subscription to Auro, on sale for $29.99 as of Dec. 26.
Workout apps are awesome when they work for you, but like most things in life, they aren’t a one-size-fits-all kind of thing. And if you don’t have the proper setup, they can often be more trouble than they’re worth. If you’re still on the hunt for an app that suits your style — allow us to introduce Auro — the highly-rated, audio-based fitness app.
With an audio-first experience, Auro’s over 700 workouts help you focus on your actual workout rather than your screen. You no longer have to struggle with balancing your phone or tablet in just the right position throughout your workout or deal with annoying lagging video footage. You can strictly listen to guided workouts using just headphones. Think Audible, but for exercise.
Among those 700+ workouts are home, gym, and outdoor-based podcast-style guided workouts led by expert trainers and tailored to your fitness level and goals. The workouts are a mix of guidance, motivation, fun, and music, so it’s basically like having your own personal trainer who happens to live in your ears. There are 11 different categories for workouts, from the treadmill and spinning to yoga and strength. Plus, about 50 new workouts are added each month as well, so your exercise routine will never get boring.
What’s extra special about Auro is you can easily take your workout with you wherever — on a walk around the neighborhood, the small square of open space in your living room, the treadmill at your parent’s house, or the beach in your neighborhood. Since Auro works with Apple Watch, Myzone, Garmin, and 20 other devices, all you’ll need is your wearable, your headphones, and yourself.

Of course, if you ever do get in the mood for some visual stimulation as well, there are over 1,00 videos on the Auro app as well. You get the best of both worlds, which is probably why the app has earned 4.7 out of 5 stars on the iOS App Store, 4.3 on the Google Play Store, and 4.2 on TrustPilot. The people have spoken.
Regularly, a subscription would cost you $59 per year, but you can save 50% for a limited time and try it for an entire year for only $29.99.
