Apple Fitness Plus: What is it

Apple said Fitness Plus is deeply integrated with its devices, allowing users to view real-time workout data on screen. This includes heart rate, calories burned, activity rings progress, and the burn bar. These metrics are displayed when the service is used with an Apple Watch or AirPods Pro (3rd generation). The company added that workouts are offered in multiple formats, with durations ranging from five to 45 minutes.

 

Workout options and custom plans

 

Fitness Plus features a wide range of workout categories, including strength, yoga, HIIT, Pilates, dance, cycling, kickboxing, and meditation. Users can opt for sessions that require equipment or choose equipment-free workouts. For added guidance, custom plans allow users to build a personalised schedule based on their preferred workout types, durations, trainers and music.

 

Music category

 

Apple said music plays a central role in the Fitness Plus experience, with workouts powered by curated playlists from Apple Music. These span categories such as Upbeat Anthems, Hip-Hop or R&B, Latin Grooves, and Latest Hits. The company is also adding a new K-Pop category that will be available across all workout types. In addition, the Artist Spotlight series features full playlists built around individual artists, including Taylor Swift, Beyonce, BTS, Selena Gomez, and Coldplay. 

 

Tools for consistency

 

FitnessPlus includes several features that aim to keep users engaged.

• Stay Consistent provides a preset weekly schedule.
• Push Further gives longer or more challenging workouts. 
• Get Started helps beginners with simple routines based on their chosen activities. 

Audio stories

 

The Time to Walk feature will also be offered as part of the service. This audio series features well-known personalities sharing personal stories, photos, and music during guided walks. Previous guests have included Camila Cabello, Jane Fonda, Shawn Mendes, and Formula 1 driver Yuki Tsunoda.

 

Curated workout collections

 

Collections offer another way to explore the service. These are groups of workouts arranged around a single goal or theme, such as Run Your First 5K, No Shoes Workouts, Pilates for More Than Your Core or So Fresh 90s Dance. 

Meditation themes and techniques

 

Users can choose from 12 different meditation themes such as Calm, Sleep and Sound. Each theme includes easy-to-follow techniques. These sessions are designed to help users recharge during the day, improve their focus, and build a better connection with themselves and the people around them
