With Find Your Trainer, you can bring the gym to you

It’s not that you don’t want to go to the gym — it’s that commitment is really, really hard, right? Between the crazy workout class prices to the seemingly life-ending contracts that certain facilities will make you sign to the schlep that you’d have to make in order to get from the comfort of your home (or the discomfort of your office) to get your sweat on, it’s no wonder that working out feels like such a chore. Luckily, there’s a solution that will make getting or staying in shape more accessible, affordable, and convenient in more than 300 cities. Meet Find Your Trainer (FYT), the platform that’s bringing the gym to you. 

Key to FYT’s effectiveness is its recognition that there’s no one size fits all solution when it comes to your fitness. As such, the platform lets you find your own perfect trainer based on your goals, your personality, your lifestyle, body, location, and more. Better still, you can train just about anywhere — if you don’t want to go to the gym, the trainer will come to you. Still want a change of scenery? Head to a park. And with no monthly membership dues or even equipment needed, this tech solution is making maintaining your health easier than ever.

FYT claims that its prices manage to undercut personal training sessions offered by both gyms and private studios by up to 50 percent, with all scheduling and payments handled via its website or mobile app. All trainers have been fully vetted with background checks and certification verifications, so you can rest assured that you’ll be safe in every sense of the word.

And recently, FYT introduced a small-group and partner training option that makes it even cheaper to train with FYT. So if you’re looking to motivate yourself with your friends or family or just looking to save money, this newest option may be a good one for you. So whether you’re into boxing, CrossFit, Pilates, yoga, or just general fitness, use FYT to bring the workout to you.

Apple has finally been cleared to allow its Wallet ID functions to be used for driver's licenses and state IDs. The state of Arizona now accepts both forms of documentation as legitimate when displayed in the Wallet app on iPhones and Apple Watches, Apple announced today.

By adding the proper documentation to their Wallet, users will be able to effortlessly get through select TSA security checkpoints by simply tapping their iPhone or Apple watch on marked identity readers at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The tech hasn't made its way to all Arizona airports yet, but Apple has made it clear that it's looking to expand the reach of its Wallet's digital IDs as legitimate documentation.

The Galaxy S21 Ultra is still a must-buy, if you can find it
4 weeks with the samsung galaxy s21 ultra update back

Have you seen the new Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra? Looks good, doesn’t it? I can safely say it feels pretty good as well, having spent a short time with the phone already. However, while it’s tempting to grab the latest and greatest phone, in this case, you really shouldn’t pass its predecessor by immediately.

I’ve used the Galaxy S21 Ultra repeatedly over the past year and actually had it as my main daily Android phone for the weeks leading up to the S22’s big launch, and I am confident enough to say that if you can find one, it’s still one of the very best smartphones you can buy.
What’s good about the S21 Ultra?
It’s technically not the newest Galaxy S Series phone you can buy anymore, but even despite this and the fact it’s a year old, the S21 Ultra is immensely powerful, and using it every day in early 2022 feels absolutely no different from how it did in January 2021. I’m using the international version with the Samsung Exynos 2100 processor and 12GB RAM, plus it has the latest Samsung’s OneUI 4.0 over Android 12 software installed.
