Have you been meaning to get to the gym, but just can’t seem to motivate yourself? Or maybe you are motivated, you just don’t know where to start. Sounds like you need a personal trainer. Well it’s 2022, that means technology is ready to bring one right into your home. Future is a personal trainer subscription service that helps customize your workout routine. Once you sign up, a real life personal trainer will help you design a fitness regiment that matches your goals. Then you complete that routine on your own time, and they are always just a message away if you need their help. You can even connect it to your Apple Watch and let your trainer view your results. You can grab your first month for only $19 right now, which is a massive price cut considering it’s usually $149 per month.

Hulu — $2 per month for one year

Hulu is the app you’ve known and loved for years. It has tons of awesome content on it, mostly from Fox and Disney. There are several ways of getting Hulu, including bundling it with Disney+, but if you just want the standard Hulu, this is the best way to grab it. Right now you can get a year of Hulu with ads for only $2 per month. This deal is only live this weekend. It bills all at once, so you’re basically getting a year of Hulu for $24. That’s a lot cheaper than the standard price of $8 per month, or $96 per year. Grab it today and start watching the best shows on Hulu.

Sling TV Blue — $20 for the first month

Sling TV is here to help you customize your cable plan. Back in the days of basic cable, we all wished we could pay a smaller monthly bill and just get the 10 channels we wanted, but instead we paid for 800 others that we never watched. Sling is the answer to that. Right now Sling Blue available for only $20 for your first month. It’ll be $35 per month after that, so the discount is a nice incentive to check out the service. Sling Blue is primarily focused on news and entertainment, and includes 41 channels. If think you might want a more sports-focused package, you should compare Sling Red vs Sling Blue.

Kindle Unlimited — 3 months for $1

Amazon's new Kindle for 2022 comes with a dark mode.

Kindle Unlimited puts the library of Alexandria at your fingertips (or more accurately, the library of Alexa; get it?). It’s an Amazon service that lets you virtually check out up to 10 books at a time. There are well over a million books available, but it’s from a selection that Amazon has the rights to. That means a lot of them are indie or self published. You can also take advantage of magazine subscriptions, like Good Housekeeping and Women’s Health. You’ll need a Kindle, so make sure to check out the best Kindle Black Friday deals too.

Audible — 60% off for 4 months

Audible is a subscription service from Amazon that gives you access to practically every audiobook ever made. It’s not exactly a free library though. You get one free book per month, and you get discounts on most other purchases you make once you run out of credits. Right now you can get the service for $6 for your first four months. During that time you’ll get your free book every month, plus 30% off all other titles you buy. If you end up cancelling your subscription at any point, you get to keep all the books you bought and listen to them as many times as you want. They’re yours for life even without the subscription.

    Audible Free Trial: Get 2 premium audiobooks for free
    amazon offers 30 off annual audible deal with 099 echo dot  1

    Everything has gone digital, even books. But it stretches even further than ebooks, now you don't even have to read books yourself. That's crazy, you say? Maybe, but it also means you can listen to books anytime. Audiobooks can be listened to during daily commutes, or if you find yourself with tired eyes and still have the desire to get lost in a book, Audible is a great service to consider. The books are recited audibly, on whatever device you're using, leaving your hands free. As far as audiobooks go, Amazon’s service is one of the most popular available, with a huge library and a well-priced subscription plan. Like any subscription service, a free trial is a fantastic way to see what you’ll be paying for, and there is a Hulu free trial and a Disney Plus free trial, by comparison. Read onward for more details on what an Audible free trial looks like.

    Peacock TV Free Trial: Stream as much as you want for free
    Peacock TV home screen.

    NBC's online streaming app Peacock TV, may be a relative newcomer in an increasingly crowded field of streaming apps, but it's certainly no slouch. It's become quite popular as a reliable way to stream classic NBC shows like The Office and 30 Rock, plus new shows and movies, live news and sports. Peacock is a bit unique in that it's both an on-demand streaming service like Hulu or Netflix while also offering a selection of live TV channels, despite costing much less than any of the best live TV streaming services. Even if it costs less, you'll still need a premium subscription, which probably leaves you wondering, is there a Peacock TV free trial? Let's find out.
    Is there a Peacock TV free trial?

    Just like there's no Disney Plus free trial, as of now, there's no Peacock TV free trial for the paid plans. The paid Peacock plans include the Premium and Plus tiers, which ring in at $5 per month or $10 per month, respectively. These packages give you complete access to the full library of Peacock shows, channels, and movies. The only differences between the two is that the $10/month Peacock Plus plan is ad-free and allows you to download and watch select shows and movies offline. You can still try Peacock without paying, though -- keep reading to find out how.

    We may have pushed beyond the golden age of streaming into a world where every network, every service has an offering, and there's just no way to pay for a subscription to all of them. So, the best way to break in some of the best streaming devices is with a free trial that let's you test out the library and experience. If you're wondering what to watch right now AMC Plus is chock full of excellent content. You may recognize AMC as the network that brought us Breaking Bad, Mad Men, The Walking Dead, and Better Call Saul, among others, and AMC Plus is their relatively new streaming platform. An AMC Plus free trial is a great way to binge-watch some of your favorite AMC content and to explore whether or not the popular streaming service is something you’d like to have access to more frequently with a paid subscription. On-demand AMC content is nothing to sneeze at -- they have some truly amazing shows. Don't forget, you can also check out some of the other streaming services that are out there, too. However, if AMC Plus still has you intrigued, read on.
    Is there an AMC Plus free trial?

    An AMC Plus free trial does exist, and like a Disney Plus free trial, it’s good for seven days of access to the entire library of content. AMC Plus’ content includes favorites like The Walking Dead, Dark Winds, and Moonhaven. It also gives you access to thousands of hours of incredible movies, ready to watch whenever you are. An AMC Plus free trial also gets you seven days of access to the best content BBC America, IFC, and Sundance TV have to offer, and full access to Shudder, Sundance Now, and IFC Films Unlimited.
