If the most action your yoga pants are seeing these days is your daily dog walk around the block, we get it. It’s been a hard year, and finding the motivation to work out has been even harder. Wouldn’t it be nice if we had someone to help push us back into some sort of a fitness routine? Future has an app for that.

While most fitness apps create streaming workouts for the masses, Future is different because it assigns you an actual human trainer who builds a personalized workout based on your exercise habits and goals. Your trainer messages you throughout the day to keep you inspired and make sure you stick with it, which is a much-needed perk for many of us. Future also sends you an Apple Watch so that your trainer can track your activity and make sure that you’re really doing the exercises and not just saying that you are. Whether that last idea excites you or scares you — it works.

Join now and you’ll get your first month for just $19, and then it’s $149 a month after that. Considering just one session with a personal trainer can cost the same amount as an entire month with your Future trainer, that’s a pretty sweet deal. Here’s a rundown of what to expect.

After you sign up, you’ll answer some questions about your fitness goals and pick from a list of expert trainers matched to your needs. You’ll do a 15-minute video chat with your trainer to make sure they’re “the one” and hammer out the details of your workout plan.

Sweat on your time

After you get your Apple Watch with your refundable deposit, your trainer will send you a week’s worth of personalized daily routines and voice-cued video instructions. Work out when you want. Your trainer gets your data and pushes you — or gives you kudos.

Track your progress, tweak, repeat

You’ll be prompted to give feedback so that you’re more apt to like your workouts, see results, and stay motivated. This level of personalization — and prodding — might be just what we all need right about now.
