The 30-day trial is unusually long for a fitness app, and Peloton's instructor-led classes still set the bar for engagement. Use the trial to honestly answer one question — do you actually press play three days a week without someone yelling at you in person? If yes, App+ is one of the best fitness deals on this list. If no, cancel by day 28 and the only thing you spent was time.
