Twice a month, we will be featuring apps that will help you achieve fitness or maintain it. Today we are featuring an app that will help you get active outdoors, wherever you are.

Do you love fitness and the outdoors? Clients from Repke Fitness know that owner Louben Repke wants you to use his lessons to enjoy life outside of the studio. Take your newfound strength and stamina from working out with Louben, and hit the road with our featured app, Yonder.

Yonder is a fun, relatively new app that allows users to discover outdoor adventures. You can take photos and upload them to the app to share your discoveries, search the app by activity and/or location, and if you like, connect with others interested in the same outdoor activities.

If you find yourself in unfamiliar terrain, you can use the app to discover the best place to hike, bike, canoe, hang-glide… whatever your adventurous heart desires. The social component is useful for those who may be traveling alone. Finding a kindred spirit to enjoy a bike ride with can make a work trip away from home a lot more bearable.

A couple of years ago, I spent some time in Los Angeles where I only worked out on the hotel’s elliptical. While I did my share of sightseeing during my off time, Yonder would have been a great way for me to find a running partner to explore the trails of southern California. I would have been uncomfortable venturing out alone, but I would have loved taking in beautiful scenery and Vitamin D while getting my daily routine in.

Clients at Repke Fitness are lucky to live close to beaches for surfing and swimming, mountains for skiing and climbing, country roads and trails for runs or bike rides, all within a couple of hours away.

Using apps like Yonder will help you stay on track when you are traveling for business or on vacation. When you return to your personal training sessions at Repke Fitness, you can proudly let Louben know that you did not slack off on your fitness goals.

Even if you don’t use the app, you can still enjoy the fresh air of Severna Park with personal training sessions at Repke Fitness. They often take their clients outside for a fitness session when the weather is nice. The Repke Fitness personal training studio is equipped with a workout sled, ropes, medicine balls and so much more, all of which can be used outside.

Let us know if you have used Yonder or plan to give it a try. What scenic locations and fun activities have you been able to find in the Severna Park, Millersville, Annapolis and surrounding areas?
