3. FIT CONCIERGE APP The impact of COVID-19 on the fitness world is partially why celebrity trainer Peter Deacy decided to launch the Fit Concierge app in May. The platform takes a fresh approach to fitness by providing a globally accessible variety of services such as personal training with one of 450 hand-selected instructors, meditation, yoga, sound healing and more.

PLATEFIT Rachael Blumberg launched PLATEFIT in 2016 after learning about the numerous medically backed benefits of vibration training in fitness, including increased endurance, lymphatic drainage, a strengthened cardiovascular system and more. The 27-minute classes are held on Power Plates that vibrate and contract muscles 30 to 50 times per second, amplifying the workout and the overall results. Hollywood, platefit.co
