Fitness+ Available Now
Monday, December 14, 2020
Today Apple launched its latest service called Fitness+. This is a health-focused service designed to help you train and stay fit from the comfort of your own home.
This is a subscription service that gives subscribers access to guided workout videos, with new sessions every week. Each recommended workout is based on your Apple Watch activity, and the Fitness+ app for iPhone integrates your personal metrics, like heart rate and active calories into every workout - right on the screen!
Right now - Fitness+ features workouts in 10 categories: High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), strength, yoga, dance, core, cycling, treadmill (for both running and walking), rowing, and mindful cool-down. Downloading the Fitness app from the App Store on your iPhone, iPad or Apple TV will allow you to watch the workout on whatever screen you’d like.
Apple Fitness+ costs $9.99 per month, or $79.99 for the year, and it requires an Apple Watch Series 3 or later. If you already own an Apple Watch that qualifies - you get one month for free and can share the trial with five other family members. Watch out though - the subscription plan will automatically renew after the 30-day trial unless manually canceled.
