With the start of summer growing closer and closer, it’s not too late to make one final push to achieve the look that you so desire. Whether you want to add some muscle, drop a few pounds or you simply want to get in shape, these LA-based apps are designed to help users meet their fitness goals.

Have you ever been given the hard sell when you walk into your gym? Maybe it seemed like a deal, buy a few sessions with a trainer and get a few free, but in the end, you end up paying more to the gym and the trainer than originally intended. Handstand is an app that connects users with fitness professionals in the area. Founded by USC graduate Tiffany Hakimianpour, the majority of the top neighborhoods are in Southern California.

Have you ever started a workout that requires exercises that you absolutely loathe? Cliqness calls itself the Pandora for fitness, and for a good reason: when you encounter an exercise you don’t like, you’ll see less of it. If you find the right group of exercises, you will see more of them. Using Cliqness is easy, and the only thing you need is enough space for a yoga mat (no yoga mat necessary).

Motivation plays a key role in finding and sticking with an exercise regimen. For some, the presence of another like-minded individual is as important as carving out time in a schedule to get a workout in. Fit connects local users together, whether that be for a game of pick-up basketball or a long run.
