Next generation of fitness Apps getting a workout

Whether helping users to get fit at home or to compete in an online marathon, developers don't want to skip a step in finding profits

Mobile fitness sharing apps are freeing users from committing to full-year gym memberships and their large upfront payments. The biggest concerns among these startup sharing services is how to make profits and maintain the traffic and equipment.

Further, the interest in fitness has led to development of training apps, which now number more than 1,000. These workout apps can be found in various app stores and attract users with free, detailed tutorials on almost any type of workout, from cardio to muscle development. Some even have video tutorials featuring social media celebrities to demonstrate the moves.
