Mai 19th, 2011, 9:24 am

Nothing suits spring time more than a personal training app which helps you to get in shape for beach season. Our company is already getting ready for summer time: Luis Ernesto Sarabia, Mallorca based fitness coach, stays 3 month and helps us to get bikini ready. He already visited us in December and January to fight the consequences of Christmas. Read the interview with Luis.

Everybody who hides no personal trainer in his closet can try one of dozens of trainings apps.
We shied no cost or effort to find the best app and we tested them all :)

Just kidding, we are not that athletic but we recommend the free “Nike Training Club” app with a clear conscience – and yes, we did test that one :)

The app comes with a steep data size of 470MB. You should download it directly via iTunes or at least use wireless LAN.

Referring to the data size expectations are quite high but you won’t be disappointed. The app is full of routines, complete workouts and video tutorials for every exercise.

To start your personal training specify your goal since you have different opportunities to get in shape. Just decide if you want to improve your cardio skills, tone your body, specialize in weight training or exercise specific body parts.

The app comes with voice output and helps you through the routines by cheering, telling the remaining time and explaining the exercises, so you do it the right way. By the way: it provides your favourite music from the iPod media center. Your personal trainer is always by your side.

What would an app be without its social components? The Nike App connects you to Facebook and Twitter to motivate you to stay focused. For succesfully accomplished routines and workouts you get digital badges which you can share with your friends at the social networks and make them jealous ;)

The latest update contains a few more bonus features:

Having completed the workout you can immediately set up a reminder for your next training session. You´re strong-minded and persistant enough to reach a certain amount of workout minutes? Your reward is a special training with a celebrity who shows you some of his personal routines.

It´s a nice gimmick which reveals no super-special excercises but it is another appeal to stay tuned.

What does your summer preparation look like?
