Sweat is built around programs from named trainers, led by co-founder Kayla Itsines, aimed at women training at home or in the gym. You can follow a multi-week program or pick workouts on demand, with styles that include HIIT, circuits, bodyweight, powerbuilding, strength, yoga, barre, pilates, recovery, cardio and pregnancy and postnatal training. Exercise descriptions, video demos, trainer audio cues and substitutions that make moves easier or harder keep sessions approachable, and a planner plus weight logging for gym programs track weekly progress. Community challenges add accountability. Sweat's US sign-up page lists $24.99 a month or $134.99 a year, both after a 7-day free trial, and the company runs frequent sales. The yearly plan is fair, but the monthly price sits well above Apple Fitness+ and Peloton App One, so Sweat makes most sense if you want its trainers and its women-focused community specifically.
