Introduction

From “…more than 97,000 fitness apps…” WIRED selected 16 “Top Fitness Apps to Kickstart Your Health Goals in 2025.” Smash Your Fitness is proud to be on the list.

WIRED acknowledges the challenge of choosing a fitness app in today’s crowded market, describing it as “…nearly impossible… How do you know which fitness apps are worth your time?” But they’ve done the hard work for you: “We’ve done the heavy lifting to bring you the apps worth downloading.” Smash Your Fitness made the cut.

WIRED highlighted the app’s appeal for users who find the current options uninspiring:

“If you find current human hamster-wheeling apps boring… you might want to consider Smash Your Fitness.”

Smash Your Fitness: Affordable and Packed with Features

In a crowded field of fitness apps, Smash Your Fitness makes it easy to get started without breaking the bank. The Smashometer—our lightweight, portable device—is available for less than $30 (a Peloton bike costs more than $1,400), and our subscriptions ($5.99/mo. billed annually or $9.99/mo. billed monthly) are a fraction of the cost of many fitness apps. Combined with our cutting-edge features and engaging user experience, Smash Your Fitness redefines value in the virtual fitness industry. Smash Your Fitness delivers unmatched value for both casual and serious users.

Getting started with Smash Your Fitness is as easy on your time as it is on your wallet. With our new Training Wheels mode simplifying the experience for beginners, Smash Your Fitness is built for everyone—whether you’re just starting out or ready to dive into all the features below.

Why Smash Your Fitness Stands Out

Personalization, Adaptability, and Holistic Wellness: Get tailored fitness, nutrition, and wellness plans tailored to your specific goals using our AI wellness assistant, Smash Coach. You can even have full conversations with Smash Coach about your goals, wants, and needs, allowing it to adapt Smash Your Fitness to suit your individual requirements.
Social Connectivity: Whether you prefer to play in single-player mode or join friends and groups from around the world, Smash Your Fitness has you covered. Our game even includes in-game audio/voice sharing to enhance your social experience and strengthen connections.
Approachable & Inclusive: Smash’s use of engaging game mechanics and unique approach to power handling allows everyone to play together regardless of fitness or strength level, or you can play single-player if you prefer.
Convenience and Flexibility: The Smashometer wearable can be used anywhere (it only weighs ~¼ oz or ~8 grams)—at home, in a hotel, outdoors, or at the gym. Use it standalone or with a bike, treadmill, rower, stair climber, or nearly any device. Just connect it to a moving part of your body and start smashing your fitness goals.
Data-Driven Insights: Smash tracks and displays your fitness data, but even better is our AI Smash Coach, who analyzes the data and provides suggestions or modifies your routines upon request, covering all things fitness, nutrition, and wellness.
Gamification: Enjoy challenges and activities that make exercise faster and more enjoyable. Smash Your Fitness takes gamification to the next level, integrating fun game mechanics to keep you fit and healthy long-term.
Accessible & Affordable:
- Get started for just $54.99, which includes your fitness wearable and a 3-month subscription!
- Subscriptions are less than most fitness apps at $5.99/mo. billed annually or $9.99/mo. billed monthly.
Connected Experience: Link with fitness hubs like Strava for an integrated journey.

From total health, nutrition, and wellness guidance to tailored workouts and challenges, to engaging gaming content, Smash Your Fitness delivers the goods in single-player and online play modes.

A Review That Pulls No Punches

WIRED didn’t shy away from pointing out the complexities of Smash Your Fitness:

“There are a lot of moving parts with Smash that a cyclist like me who just wants to get some quick exercise might not want or need.”

We get it—Smash Your Fitness offers a lot of functionality (just look at all the features we listed above). But we see this as proof of the app’s incredible value for money. That’s why we’ve introduced a "Training Wheels" mode to simplify your experience when you’re just starting out. As you become more comfortable, you can start using more and more of Smash Your Fitness until you unleash its full power.

Addressing Smart Trainers

WIRED’s review included an issue syncing the Zwift Hub smart trainer with Smash Your Fitness:

“Throughout a month of testing, I found that the app isn’t quite easy to use. I never could sync it with my Zwift Hub smart trainer. The company promises that connectivity bugs will soon be worked out, but until then it’s up to the Smashometer to carry the ride.”

While we’ve since resolved the Zwift Hub issue, it wasn’t unexpected as our smart-trainer offering is currently in closed beta. (If you have a PC or Mac, please come join us to make Smash even better—Android and iOS apps are on their way for those who prefer to work out with mobile devices.)
