Our take
Future replaces in-person personal training at a fraction of the cost. Your coach plans every session, watches your heart-rate data, and adapts the program weekly — the closest thing to a $200/hr trainer for $199/month.
Pros
- Real human coach matched to your goals
- Custom program rebuilt every week
- Daily message check-ins from your coach
- Far cheaper than in-person personal training
Cons
- Most expensive subscription in the category
- Best with Apple Watch (Android support limited)
