Comments: Sworkit is a well-designed fitness app that makes exercise more accessible for everyday New Zealanders. The workouts are short, flexible and easy to follow, which is great for people who are busy, new to exercise or prefer to work out at home without equipment. I like that it also includes yoga, stretching and stress management sessions, as well as fun options for kids, making it useful for the whole whānau.
The main downside is that you need a paid subscription to unlock all features, and because it’s not New Zealand–made, it doesn’t include local trainers or cultural references. Still, for people looking for a convenient way to stay active and build healthy habits, it’s a solid option with good variety.
Safety concerns: There are no major safety concerns with this app, but some general considerations apply. As with any exercise programme, users with existing health conditions or injuries should seek medical advice before starting new workouts. 
You can view the list of exercises for free, which gives you an idea of the variety on offer. However, to access the full “how to” demonstrations and guided workouts that show you proper form and technique, you need a paid subscription. This is a limitation, as the free version doesn’t provide enough instruction to safely follow along for most users.
It is important users listen to their bodies and avoid pushing beyond their limits. The app does not replace professional fitness or medical advice, but when used sensibly it is a safe tool for most people.
New Zealand relevance: The app is useful for New Zealanders wanting flexible, at-home workouts, including options for whānau and kids. While it isn’t NZ-specific, its focus on general fitness and wellbeing makes it widely relevant across Aotearoa.
