fiit app

The global COVID-19 outbreak means many of us will be confined to our homes for a matter of weeks or months. In response to the news, ClassPass is allowing current members to ‘pause’ their membership for three months, until 1st June 2020. But wait a minute, how are you going to stay fighting fit in the meantime?

We might have the answer. Joining FiiT means that you have access to loads of online classes you can join in real-time without leaving your living room. Sounds good, right? Here’s everything you need to know about the service and why you should try it.

FiiT is offering all TSE customers a 14 days free trial + 25% off any membership. Enter code: TSE25 to receive your discount > getfiit.tv/thesportsedit

What is FiiT?

Let’s start with the basics. FiiT (and the FiiT app) brings gym classes to your living room. The Premium service gives you access to more than 500 virtual fitness sessions lead by some of the best-known instructors in the world. You can choose from strength training, HIIT, yoga, mobility flows, combat, and so much more.

When you’re signed up, you can get started. While there are live online classes, you will also have the chance to follow two to 10 weeks dedicated fitness programs. As you train, track your progress using a compatible wearable device. Currently, you can pair the FiiT app with dedicated FiiT devices, Apple Watches, Polar H10s, Garmin HR Monitors, MyZones, Move HR Burn devices, OrangeTheory devices, and the F45 Lionheart.

FiiT Club

Let your competitive side run wild with Fiit Club. Available for Premium members only, this community feature means you can test your mettle against friends online. The FiiT app has classes scheduled throughout the daily (just like your regular gym). You can log on and join them as you please.

As you work out against the rest of the class, you can track your progress by looking at the leaderboard. And don’t panic — the scores aren’t based on fitness. Instead, you are rated on your effort level. That means that newcomers have a chance to get started and win.

FiiT Pricing

If you’re thinking of signing up to FiiT Premium, you’ll be pleased to know that the pricing is super easy to understand. There’s a 14-day free trial for new members, which means that you can give it a whirl and see what you think ahead of time. After that, you have three different pricing options, depending on the commitment you make:

  • Pay monthly for £20 per month
  • Pay quarterly for £15 per month (£45 one-time payment)
  • Pay annually for £10 per month (£120 one-time payment)

Not sure which payment to choose? Needless to say, the more months you pay for in one payment, the more you will save. However, if you’re looking for a low-commitment offer, taking the £20 per month package is still excellent value for money.

Staying in doesn’t mean that you can’t embark on a serious cardio workout. There are plenty of HIIT and cardio plans on the FiiT app that you may want to try for yourself. Head to the ‘Lose Weight’ section within ‘Training Plans’ to find your favourite.

The training programs include an initial benchmark class that will test your fitness level. That means that you can track your progress from the start to the end of the training plan with ease. Let’s take a quick look at one of the best cardio training plans here.

The six-week plan is all about burning the maximum amount of calories during each session. When you get started with it, you will get both 25 and 40-minute classes tailored to your fitness level. You will take four classes a week for six weeks. Expert circuits, lower body work, and endurance classes. Build strength, work hard, and burn those calories.

The 25 and 40-minute classes are a combination of mobility flow, yoga, and Pilates. Essentially, that means that you get a truly varied workout each and every time you log on.

Designed by Pilates pro, Lottie Murphy, this four-week plan helps you build core strength and also improves your posture and coordination. It includes two to three classes a week over the course of the program, each aimed at improving your flexibility. The first week takes you through the foundations of Pilates and you build your experience from there.
