Fitness apps are perfect for those who don't want to pay money for a gym membership, or maybe don't have the time to commit to classes, but still want to keep active as much as possible.

There are hundreds of fitness apps on the market, and it can be overwhelming just to find one that will keep you motivated. Luckily, we've saved you the time and trouble. Here are our top picks for apps available on both iOS and Android that'll get you pumped up to enjoy working out.

Seven

There's no excuse not to work out when it'll only take you seven minutes. Seven's workouts are based on scientific studies and designed to create maximum benefit and efficiency. As you progress, you'll unlock new workouts to keep you interested. You don't need any equipment to complete them, though some require a chair or a wall. The app doesn't require an internet connection, can be used via your Smart Watch, and allows background music to play during workouts.

Zombies, Run!

If ever there was an app to make you excited about running, this is it. Zombies, Run! makes a typically monotonous exercise fun and engaging through its incredible storytelling. In this zombie apocalypse world you are on a mission to gather supplies and rescue other survivors. While you're out on your jog, you'll receive updates and hear dialogue through your headphones. With over 200 unique missions, you'll be tasked with finding supplies, gathering information and unmasking secrets. If you find yourself being chased by zombies, you'll need to start running faster to stay alive.

PumpUp

With the slogan "Become the best version of you" PumpUp is quite possibly the most positive fitness app. There's a big focus on not only achieving your health and wellness goals but celebrating them too. You'll find a 24/7 support group, made up of members from over 150 countries. Though their motivations and exercise regimes may be different to yours, they're all there to achieve their goals, just like you. You can also follow hashtags for the type of exercise or goal you're interested in for some added #inspo.

Teemo

You can now explore the world in your own neighborhood and get fit doing it. The app Teemo lets you pick challenges ranging from climbing Everest, trekking around Europe, dashing around the desert and sailing in the Caribbean. If you select a Euro trip, for example, the app will tell you you've just touched down at the airport and will need to complete 30 lunges to pick up your luggage. These short and simple exercises don't require any equipment or workout gear.
