Keywords Fitness Apps typically rank for
A real ASO run on your app surfaces 50 ideas across these three buckets — plus your current rank for each.
Head terms
High demand, high difficulty — keyword-field weight, not title.
Long-tail
Specific intent — these are the rows you actually rank on.
Competitor-driven
What rivals already rank for — keyword-field only, never title.
How to read the results table
Three rows you'll typically see for Fitness Apps — and what each tells you.
A textbook opportunity row — broad search volume, but the top 10 is full of indie apps, not just the giants. Lead with this in your subtitle.
Tempting but a trap for new apps — the top 10 here is Nike, Peloton, MyFitnessPal. Spend keyword-field weight on long-tails instead.
Easy first-page win if your app covers it. Low absolute volume, but high intent — exactly the kind of term to put in the keyword field.
Opportunity is what ties it all together — it's demand minus difficulty, with a bonus for keywords where you're already nearby (say, ranked #11–20). Sort by opportunity descending and the top rows are your shortlist.
Where each keyword goes in your store listing
The three fields Apple indexes — and which keyword type belongs in each.
Title (30 chars)
Reserve the title for one head term plus your brand — e.g. "Strong: Workout Tracker". The brand still gets weight, the head term still gets weight, and the title doesn't look spammy in screenshots.
Subtitle (30 chars)
Use the subtitle for the single highest-opportunity row from your results — usually a "specific routine + audience" phrase like "Home Workouts for Beginners". Apple weighs this almost as heavily as the title.
Keyword field (100 chars)
Pack the 100-char keyword field with the long-tail and competitor rows that didn't fit anywhere else: routine types ("hiit,strength,kettlebell"), audience modifiers ("women,beginners,seniors"), and goals ("weightloss,toning").

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my fitness app rank for "workout" but I see no installs?
Ranking and visibility are different things. "Workout" sits at the very top of search demand, which means even a #15 rank is below the fold on a phone screen — and the top 5 are dominated by Apple Fitness, Nike Training Club, and MyFitnessPal. You'll get more installs ranking #3 on "kettlebell beginners" than #15 on "workout". The SnapMonk ASO tool sorts by opportunity for exactly this reason.
How often should I re-run ASO research for a fitness app?
Re-run it before every metadata update (every 60–90 days is the common cadence on iOS) and again two weeks after each change so you can see whether your new title/subtitle actually moved your rank. Save each run from the tool — you'll see week-over-week deltas in the rank column.
Should I target Apple Fitness or Peloton head-on?
Almost never. Branded keywords for established apps are very difficult to outrank, and Apple's ASA bids on those terms make paid traffic expensive too. Use the competitor row in the results table to find what they rank for — then target the long-tail keywords where they're weaker.
