I've been using this workout app called Hevy, for about a year now and it's been amazing. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to start working out but feels like they wouldn't know what to do. When I first started going to the gym, I was googling every workout until I knew how to do them on my own.
Hevy has all the exercises with video demonstrations and you can filter them by the muscles they target. If you do any exercises at home or outdoors, you can create your own exercises and add them to the app. It even tells you what weights you could move up based on previous workouts.
You basically create your own workout plans and track your progress.
There's also a social aspect of the app where you can follow friends and try their workout plans or anyone else who you feel has the same fitness goals.
Sometimes I’ll get a notification that a friend just posted a workout and it’ll motivate me to wanna go more. And the records and encouragement slides they do are pretty cool. Definitely worth checking out.

I’ve never had a gym membership for two reasons: 1. Crowded (like u mentioned) 2. I knew I’d use not having access to a gym as an excuse to not workout regularly.
So I knew I needed a solution that focused on calisthenics and cardio that I could do anywhere. This app fits the bill.
Plug in what equipment you have access to (nothing is an option) and it will deliver workouts every day based on your fitness goals. It also keeps track of the muscle groups you workout so they get rested properly.
You can have it recommend stretches and some yoga poses, but only for warmups and cooldowns. This isn’t a good solution if that’s something you want to focus on, as far as I can tell.
Free trial. $80 annually after that.

This has been my gym since lockdown. Plug in what equipment you have (none is an option), your experience level, and it assembles a workout tailored for you.
It keeps track of you experience and gradually increases the difficulty. And also tracks what muscle groups you’ve used and let’s you know what needs to rest.

Remote, cucumber, bag of chips, house keys. Not sure they get anything out of it, but they just seem happy to be kept in the loop.

It bums me out whenever someone's trying to say something but cuts themselves off or says "nevermind" because they assume that they're wasting time. Think it through, or let it come back to you. 3 years ago, I started saying, "Talk through the thought" with my friend, and I think it's made me more patient, and I've ended up hearing/saying some cool shit (or at least some funny shit) that I would've probably missed out on otherwise.
