Get one-on-one personal training with the Future Fitness app

Chances are that the internet and mobile technology have drastically altered the ways by which you work, manage your finances, and connect with people, but what about your health and fitness regimen? Although most of us use our mobile devices and rely on internet connectivity every day, our workouts haven’t changed drastically over the past couple of decades. Enter Future, a new program that delivers personalized one-on-one fitness coaching and customized workout sessions right to your iPhone for a fraction of the price of a normal personal trainer. For a limited time, you can get your first month for 50% off when you sign up today.

Fitness apps are slowly but surely revolutionizing the way we work out and manage our health, and they’ve grown considerably in popularity in the past two years owing to the COVID-19 pandemic forcing many to re-think those regular trips to the gym. And just as the internet has made it easier for us to communicate and network with co-workers and friends, so too has it made it easier for average folks to seek professional fitness coaching — without having to shell out upwards of $100 per hour to hire a personal trainer.

How Future works is pretty straightforward: You sign up and complete a brief fitness questionnaire, and then Future will pair you with your own personal coach based on your answers. Afterward, you’ll touch base with your trainer, who will develop a personal fitness regimen around your goals, schedule, and lifestyle. You’ll receive a custom workout plan and schedule delivered to your phone every week, and your coach will check in daily to keep track of your progress, help you with any questions or problems you might have, make necessary adjustments to your routine, and keep you accountable and motivated. If you have an Apple Watch, all of your metrics will be automatically tracked in the app so your coach can see your performance and follow your progress.

Future’s roster of professional coaches includes experienced personal trainers who have worked with collegiate, professional, and Olympic-level athletes, as well as busy professionals and parents. Your coach will tailor your weekly workout plans to suit you, including where you are and what, if any, exercise facilities and equipment you have access to. This applies when you’re on the road, too, so you don’t have to suspend your workout regimen when you travel if you don’t want to. If by some chance your trainer isn’t a good fit, you can switch coaches at any time.

Future aims to provide a flexible and personalized fitness experience and costs just $150 per month, which is a pretty good value considering that the average personal trainer rings in at around $100 per hour-long session. If you want to give Future a try for yourself, then there’s no better time than right now, as you can get your first month for 50% off if you sign up today.

The Best Hiring Apps for Recruiters
Hiring handshake best hiring apps for recruiters

This content was produced in partnership with ZipRecruiter.
The best employment software, and comparable mobile applications, offer a valuable set of tools for hiring managers, HR, and even recruiters. They essentially streamline the candidate search and onboarding processes, making it easier to find potential hires but also to communicate, engage, and research them more in-depth. It stands to reason then that the best hiring apps for recruiters are the same hiring resources that nearly every professional can use, and while that may be true, there's one exception. Recruiting specific tools make it easier for recruiters to seek out and secure top-tier talent, and to continue that consistently. That means they include talent sourcing tools, interviewing, and communication tools, and sometimes scheduling and calendar tools to keep everything organized.

You might not think they're much different, but for recruiters, the best hiring apps also offer a reliable way to keep their finger on the pulse of the very broad talent pool. In light of that, here are the best hiring apps for recruiters:

Welcome to A Kids Company About’s new kid-friendly streaming app

Not all kids love to read, and not all kids who do read, prefer that as their main source of information and entertainment. Some kids prefer to be more hands-on and learn best through interactive activities or visually-striking courses. So, it's ideal to have options, with room to grow and expand your experiences.

That is precisely why A Kids Company About has launched its new kid-friendly app. Having made a name for itself with its popular A Kids Book About series, the app brings its conversation-centric storytelling for kids off of the page and into new streaming formats. Kids can explore many of the topics that the company covers more deeply via podcasts and classes, as well as all-new content series like mindfulness exercises and options to read along with authors from their popular books. It's an excellent addition to A Kids Co's already burgeoning library of content, but before we dive into the app -- and what it offers -- let's do a brief recap of the team behind it all.
