The 'Shift' fitness app has been developed by Michael Gunnulfsen as a solution for podcast lovers to utilize when heading into the gym to let them make the most of every minute they spend working out.
The app works by seamlessly playing your choice of music as you lift and transitioning to a podcast when you're in rest mode. This will allow athletic enthusiasts to consume podcasts that are around 30 minutes in length for every 50 minutes they spend working out to keep them entertained at all times.
The 'Shift' fitness app works with Spotify premium accounts and provide users with an avatar that will evolve as they work out to provide an additional bit of motivation to keep going.
