Adrian James: Bootcamp

Adrian James: Bootcamp pushes hard on the bootcamp idea, so this is the app for people who want structured, sweaty bodyweight sessions rather than a gentle wellness routine. By our assessment, its appeal is the no-frills training style: the name promises a hard-edged programme, and that is exactly the sort of thing many home exercisers look for. Its strength is momentum, because bootcamp formats are easy to follow and hard to confuse with anything softer. The downside is that the format is intentionally demanding, so it will not suit anyone looking for low-impact work or a lot of variety outside the session. In practice, this kind of app is all about showing up and doing the set work on schedule. Compared with broader fitness apps, Adrian James: Bootcamp is more direct and less polished, which is the point.
