Apple Fitness Plus Apple’s new workout program service is set to launch on December 14th, the company announced today. The subscription service is set to cost $9.99 per month (or $79.99 per year).
Apple Fitness Plus was announced earlier this year as Apple’s latest attempt to continue to bolster its subscription offers, and it will feature Peloton-style guided workouts that can be viewed on an iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV, while utilizing an Apple Watch for tracking workout metrics as you go. The service will launch with 10 workout types: High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), strength, yoga, dance, core, cycling, treadmill (for both running and walking), rowing, and “mindful cooldown.”
Apple says “many Fitness Plus workouts require no equipment at all or just a set of dumbbells,” while the more equipment-based cycling, treadmill, and rowing workouts should be doable with almost any bike, treadmill, or rowing machine that users have.
Fitness Plus requires an Apple device running iOS 14.3, WatchOS 7.2, iPadOS 14.3 or TVOS 14.3. Apple Watch users should automatically see Fitness Plus as a new tab in the Fitness app on their iPhone once available, the company said.
“We’re excited for Apple Fitness Plus to bring together the metrics from Apple Watch, great music, and a diverse and inspiring trainer team in a uniquely simple, easy-to-access way across devices to encourage our users to get fit and stay healthy,” said Jay Blahnik, Apple’s senior director of fitness technologies, in a release.
