You can find tons of apps for health and fitness on Google Play, so much so that it’s hard to pick just one. And often, when you start liking someone, it presents you with intrusive ads and pop-ups to cut short your entire experience.
Here, you will find a collection of some of the best apps in this category that do not contain any third-party ads. You may see the odd message to upgrade to the Pro version, but no extraneous ads will get in the way of your fitness. So, let’s check out this list of best health and fitness Android apps that are ad-free to help you focus on your workout.
1. Google Fit
Google Fit intends to provide you with a base from where you can get in shape in the comfort of your own home. The app combines your health data such as nutrition, body measurements, vitals and sleep to create a plan for you to achieve a healthy life.
Google Fit gets its activity recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Heart Association (AHA). So, whatever the app advises you to do, you can rest assured that it is well researched.
Based on the type of activity you do, you earn Heart Points—a type of activity goal you aim to achieve. Performing a physical activity will earn you one Heart Point.
You can also track your workouts with your phone, watch, and other Google Fit gadgets. Plus, it counts all your activities and provides healthy living advice using the AHA guidelines.
