DevLifts is an online fitness community for developers. You can find a training plan that works for you based on your goal, and they also have a really active Slack community where you can ask questions and share your progress with other developers on their fitness journey. The company was started by J.C. Hiatt, a developer, after he experienced the personal and professional benefits of getting control of his fitness when his friend and co-founder, Thad Daniels, started training him. The company is entirely ran by the two of them and they are really active and helpful in the Slack.
