While we’re now past the halfway point of January (where does the time go?), it’s still a time of New Year’s resolutions. While some will be beginning to flag - and others may have given up completely - it’s not too late to invest in your health and fitness goals Many fitness apps capitalise on this by offering enticing deals to help users get started. Here’s a roundup of some of the best fitness apps with January offers and sign-up deals to help you stay active and motivated, whether you’re running your first 5K, building strength or exploring yoga. Strava is a favourite among runners and cyclists, offering comprehensive tracking tools and a vibrant community for fitness enthusiasts. While you can sign-up for free, opting for its paid subscription plan opens up features like advanced analytics, personalised training plans and safety features like Beacon, which allows live tracking during outdoor activities. Subscribing is free for the first 30 days for new customers, after which you’ll pay £8.99 a month. You can also go for an annual subscription, which will set you back £54.99, but works out cheaper than monthly billing. A personalised morning news round-up with UK Today - sign up here.

It’s again free to download and sign-up to, with plenty of workouts to keep you busy if you do.

If running a 5K is on your list of goals, Couch to 5K is the app for you. Designed for beginners, it offers a structured, nine-week program to help you gradually build your running stamina. Since the app is run in conjunction with the NHS, it is free to download, and there are no premium or paid sign-up levels. MyFitnessPal is known for its all-in-one approach to fitness, combining nutrition tracking, exercise logging, and community support. New users can enjoy a 30-day free trial of MyFitnessPal Premium, which offers advanced meal planning tools, deeper insights into your nutrition, and customisable goals. Noom is offering a January sale of sorts. Using the code NEWYEAR6 with the purchase of a Noom Weight subscription will give you a 12-month plan for the price of a standard 6-month plan. Noom is a popular fitness and weight management app designed to help users adopt healthier habits through a combination of personalized coaching, tracking tools, and educational content.
