APPS WE LOVE

Stretch Your Way Into Feeling Good

This app’s flexibility classes and videos target every part of the body.

Tech neck, tight calves, or too much desk time? StretchIt’s guided flexibility workouts and feel-good stretches help you relieve tension wherever you need it most.

What we love: The flexibility of each program. Get a personalized plan built for your goal—whether improving hip mobility, recovering from runs, or finally touching your toes—and factor in your favorite trainers, class duration, and intensity. Not sure if you’re ready to commit? The app offers a selection of free classes to alleviate back pain, warm up the body, and more.

Kick off your day with a weekly challenge (left), or build a custom routine.

Quick tip: Connect Apple Music in the app’s settings to stretch to your favorite songs. Tap the menu icon on any video to browse your library, build a workout playlist, and control it right in the player.

Meet the creator: Sisters Marina Skladchikova and Natasha Nikolaeva had zero app-development experience before they quit their jobs and sold an apartment to bring StretchIt to life. “We wanted to make stretching approachable for everyone and create programs that people would actually stick to,” Skladchikova says.
