At around the same time last year, I was making a commitment by paying for a home workout app on Google Play Store called Freeletics. $50 a year subscription for an app is quite an investment for me at that time, so I planned to make the most of it as possible.

After a 46 weeks streak, I excercised from a small space in my room, ultilized bodyweight and dumbbells I’ve got at home, I’ve built a habit of working out at least 5 times a week without any excuses. Freeletics create your workout every day including the warmup, the workout itself and cooldown, you can even change the workout based on the muscle group you want to workout on and especially the time you want to workout that day starting from 10 mins to 30 mins or even longer. There are days where I don’t feel like doing anything, but still try to push through and do some excercise with Freeletics.

So why am I saying goodbye to Freeletic now?

For me, Freeletics is great for people who want to build their habits of working out or having a excercise schedule and sticking to it. Their UI design is modern and sleek, the achievement and streak system is great, but as you progress to a certain point, their workout is a little bit repetitive or you want something more, I can’t really blame them due to the limitation of the space in my room as well as the equipment I have.

So as the COVID situation is no longer a threat and a new gym just opened 5 mins away from where I live, I decided to signed up and be more serious in working out, have more access to weights and gym equipment (I used Fitness 22’s Workout Planner to track my progress). I also signed up to a new jiu-jitsu class 3 times a week so to balance that along with my new gym schedule every morning is gonna take me a bit of times to get used to.

Thanks Freeletics for all the time we have worked out together, I would highly recommend this app for people who want to workout everyday but don’t know where to start or simply want to build a habit of excercising every week!
