Future review

Future is the one app here that sells a person rather than a library. Future pairs you with a dedicated coach who builds your program around your goals, schedule, equipment, experience and injury history, checks in, monitors progress and refines the plan over time. Workouts can be moved and days adjusted without penalty, and each movement comes with video demos, voice cues and form guidance. Future has added health coaching for nutrition and sleep. The price is the trade-off: $50 for the first month, then $199 a month, with a full refund if you cancel within 30 days. That is about seven times the cost of Ladder or Centr and twenty times Apple Fitness+, which is why Future ranks last on our value-weighted score despite the highest capability rating among the coach-led apps. For someone who would otherwise hire an in-person trainer, the comparison looks different. We compared documented features and published prices only.
