Fitness Apps in India and How to Choose One
General information: This page is general information, not medical advice. No dietitian, doctor or qualified trainer has reviewed it, and it is not a substitute for their advice.
Introduction
A fitness app logs workouts and food and, in some cases, builds a plan from your goal. This guide gives a short checklist for choosing one in India and says what NYUS, our own app, does. We do not describe other apps' features here, because they change; read each app's own page.
Track this in NYUS. NYUS builds a workout plan and an Indian-food diet plan from your goal, body, schedule and food preferences.

- Your goal. Weight loss, muscle gain or general fitness need different things from an app, so decide which comes first.
- Indian food. Search five dishes from this week's meals, for example toor dal, roti, poha, paneer bhurji and idli. If two or more are missing, logging will feel like work.
- Workouts. Check whether the app gives you a plan, lets you log sets, and shows what changes after a missed day.
- Wearables. On Android, check whether it can read steps and sleep through Health Connect, and which data types it asks permission for.
- Cost and data. Read the app's own pricing page, and its privacy page for ads, data sale and what you can delete.
