Useful Health & Fitness Apps in India.

Here are some useful health & fitness apps available in India, along with what they each specialise in — you can pick based on whether your priority is workouts, nutrition, tracking, or overall wellness.

Top App Picks

HealthifyMe

HealthifyMe is an Indian digital health & wellness company/app, founded in 2012 by Tushar Vashisht, Mathew Cherian and Sachin Sheno.It’s available on Android and iOS, and is used in India (and some other markets)..The app is designed for tracking diet, calories, workouts, water, sleep, and providing coaching/advice (via both AI + human coaches).Calorie / nutrition tracking: Users can log their meals, track macros (protein, carbs, fat), and monitor weight progress.Extensive food database with Indian foods: Because it is India-based, it covers many Indian dishes and local foods.AI coach (“Ria”): An AI-powered nutrition/fitness assistant that can answer questions, suggest diets, etc.Image-based meal logging: The app (or a requirement) allows you to snap a photo of your meal and the system recognises food items for logging.Integration with fitness/wearable data: The app supports tracking of workouts, steps, water intake, sleep, and connects with devices.Premium coaching: In paid plans you can get one-on-one access to nutritionists, fitness trainers, personalised plans.

You download the app, set your goals (e.g., weight loss, muscle gain, general fitness).
Start logging meals and activities. The free tier allows basic logging.
If you go premium, you get more personalised plans + human coaching.
The AI coach and database help with suggestions, monitoring, feedback.
Over time you see analytics/reports on your calorie intake, activity, and progress.

Indian-origin app (founded in 2012) focussed on nutrition + fitness. Features: Calorie tracking using Indian dishes, workout plans, access to coache. Good if you want an app tailored for the Indian context (food, diet etc)..

HealthifyMe is one of the strongest options in the Indian market for integrated diet & fitness tracking + coaching. If you use it consistently, it can be a powerful tool. But like all apps: it isn’t a magic bullet — you’ll still need discipline, good habits, and realistic expectations.

If you like, I can check current pricing in Maharashtra / special offers (as they often vary by region) and compare it with some competitor apps to see which gives better value. Would you like me to do that.

Cult.fit (also referenced as Cure.fit).

Cult.fit is a fitness & wellness brand in India under the umbrella of Cure.fit (the broader brand) that offers group-workouts, gym access, at-home/online workouts, and more.Via the Cult.fit app (and website) you can book group classes, access online workouts, track your activity, and use their “Cultpass” memberships for gym/centre access.They also emphasise holistic health: beyond pure gym workouts you get formats like yoga, dance fitness, HIIT, and at‐home live training.The company pivoted significantly to digital/online during COVID, building home workout offerings alongside their physical centres.

App + fitness ecosystem offering live classes, yoga, meditation, workouts.Good if you prefer interactive/live workouts (and maybe attend in-studio classes too)..

Check whether there is a Cult.fit centre (or partner gym) near you — if not, the at-home/online option still works but the “centre access” benefit may be limited.

If you are disciplined with home workouts and want flexibility (less commute), the “Home/live workout” tier might suffice and might be more cost-effective.

If your goal is more fitness/strength training with gym equipment + live classes, and you’ll attend regularly, then a full membership could be worth it.

Compare cost + your expected usage: e.g., if membership is ~₹600-₹1000/month but you attend only 2-3 times/month, value may drop.

Also compare with other apps/plans (tracking + diet, pure online workout apps) because if you cannot access nearby centre regularly, maybe a cheaper online-only plan suits you better.

FITTR.

FITTR (founded by Jitendra Chouksey) began as a WhatsApp/online community in 2014 and later launched a full-app in 2018 aimed at democratizing fitness & nutrition for Indians.It is a tech-enabled “community + coaching” platform: you get tools (diet tracker, workout plans, calculators) in the app + optionally personalised coaching.The company is headquartered in Pune, Maharashtra

Another Indian app focusing on all-in-one: calorie tracking, diet planning, community support.Good if you want more community + coaching support along with tracking.

If your goal is diet/weight loss or muscle gain and you want guided coaching + Indian-relevant nutrition/workouts — FITTR is a strong option.

If you are self-motivated and just need tracking tools, you might even use the free tier and see if you can succeed without full coaching.

If you plan to use local gym/equipment heavily and don’t need remote coaching, compare the cost + value of FITTR vs a local gym + nutritionist in your city.

So stepwise approach: Try the free version → assess how comfortable you are with the interface / community → if you feel you need more help, pick the coaching plan.

MyFitnessPal.

MyFitnessPal is a global calorie-/nutrition-tracking smartphone app and website.You can log your food, track exercise, monitor weight and other metrics.It offers both a free tier and paid Premium (and Premium+) tiers for additional features.

Global app, very strong in food/meal tracking, large food database.Good if you’re comfortable with self-tracking and want a broad database (may require more manual input for Indian foods).

Broad tracking capability: If you are serious about keeping detailed logs of food & activity, MFP supports it well.

Large ecosystem: Many third-party integrations and a big food database mean less “missing food” for many users.

Flexibility: You can start with free and scale to Premium if needed.

Good for macros: If your goal is not just “eat less” but “hit X grams protein/carbs/fat”, MFP is designed for that.

FITPASS.

FITPASS is an Indian fitness-tech app & membership service that gives you access to a network of gyms, studios, virtual workouts, diet plans and wellness services, all under one membership.Their tagline: “One membership to India’s largest fitness network / workout anywhere, anytime”. They claim to cover 8,100+ gyms & fitness centres and 2,25,000+ workout sessions across 75+ cities.

Indian app that gives a blend: gym/studio access, workouts, diet plans, doctor consultations. Good if you want both digital workouts and physical gym/studio flexibility in India.

Flexibility & variety: Rather than being tied to one gym/brand, you get a network of many gyms + classes + virtual options — good if you travel, shift city, or want variety.

Good for multi-city use: If you move or travel, having a membership that covers many gyms helps.

All-in-one wellness: Diet plans + virtual workouts + coaching + gym access under one umbrella is convenient.

Indian market orientation: Since it’s Indian, membership plans, gym formats, and connections are tailored for Indian cities and users.

Large network: With 7,500+ centres (as of recent reports) and expansion into Tier-2/3 cities

How to Choose & Some Tips

Goal clarity: Are you looking to lose weight, build muscle, track nutrition, or just stay active? Each app has a strength area.
Diet context: If you eat a lot of Indian food (regional cuisine, local ingredients), apps like HealthifyMe/FITTR may be more adapted.
Workout style: If you like live classes or in-person/virtual mix → Cult.fit or FITPASS. If you prefer self-paced tracking → MyFitnessPal.
Budget: Many of these apps are freemium (free version + paid premium). Check what features you need.
Consistency: The best app is one you’ll use consistently. Even a simpler app used regularly beats a super-feature app used rarely.
Integration with devices: If you use a fitness band / smartwatch, check if the app integrates (some do).
Cultural/customisation: Check if the app supports your region’s food/diet/language preferences.
