With Find Your Trainer, you can bring the gym to you

It’s not that you don’t want to go to the gym — it’s that commitment is really, really hard, right? Between the crazy workout class prices to the seemingly life-ending contracts that certain facilities will make you sign to the schlep that you’d have to make in order to get from the comfort of your home (or the discomfort of your office) to get your sweat on, it’s no wonder that working out feels like such a chore. Luckily, there’s a solution that will make getting or staying in shape more accessible, affordable, and convenient in more than 300 cities. Meet Find Your Trainer (FYT), the platform that’s bringing the gym to you. 

Key to FYT’s effectiveness is its recognition that there’s no one size fits all solution when it comes to your fitness. As such, the platform lets you find your own perfect trainer based on your goals, your personality, your lifestyle, body, location, and more. Better still, you can train just about anywhere — if you don’t want to go to the gym, the trainer will come to you. Still want a change of scenery? Head to a park. And with no monthly membership dues or even equipment needed, this tech solution is making maintaining your health easier than ever.

FYT claims that its prices manage to undercut personal training sessions offered by both gyms and private studios by up to 50 percent, with all scheduling and payments handled via its website or mobile app. All trainers have been fully vetted with background checks and certification verifications, so you can rest assured that you’ll be safe in every sense of the word.

And recently, FYT introduced a small-group and partner training option that makes it even cheaper to train with FYT. So if you’re looking to motivate yourself with your friends or family or just looking to save money, this newest option may be a good one for you. So whether you’re into boxing, CrossFit, Pilates, yoga, or just general fitness, use FYT to bring the workout to you.

The iPhone 16 Pro has one of the best smartphone cameras you can buy, and it sets a standard for everyone to beat, especially regarding video. We've already seen Samsung and OnePlus try and fail to beat Apple, and the Google Pixel 9 Pro has proven that even it will fall somewhat short.

However, what happens when you look outside the U.S.? Smartphones from Xiaomi, Vivo, and Oppo have set camera standards that put even the best in the U.S. to shame. I was in Bali last month testing the iPhone 16 Pro camera against a new smartphone from Oppo.

For a lot of people, the iPad is the device they choose to work with, which may include taking video calls. Though the front-facing camera on iPads has gotten better over time, many still prefer external webcams because they’re often much better than the built-in webcam on your tablet or even laptop. And now, if you use Microsoft Teams on iPad, you’re finally able to use external cameras, as Microsoft has announced via a blog post.

When we say "finally," it’s because Apple has included support for external USB-C cameras on the iPad since iPadOS 17. So technically, Microsoft is a little late to the party with this feature. But if you have to use Microsoft Teams for work and you tend to use the iPad most of the time, then this is certainly welcome news.

The Human Performance & Sport Science Center (HPSSC) discovered that the Galaxy Watch's findings were on par with the sport science reference devices used to measure heart rate, sweat loss, VO2 max, and body fat percentage. By "sport science reference devices," we mean the high-end medical equipment used to determine the physical performance of a professional athlete.
