Apple today announced the brand new AirPods Max presented and announced the launch of Apple Fitness+ in another statement.
Apple Fitness+ is an Apple Watch-focused home workout program that guides users through various workouts and complements the fitness-focused features of the Apple Watch. The service provides workouts that are suitable for every user. During the workout, the Apple Watch monitors the individual metrics. Of course, iPhone, iPad and Apple TV are also part of the new service. Jay Blahnik, Senior Director of Fitness Technologies at Apple explained the whole thing as follows:
Being more active is one of the most important things we can do for our health, but we know that the decision to exercise can often be a challenge, whether you're very active or just starting out. We're excited that Apple Fitness+ brings together Apple Watch metrics, great music, and a diverse and inspiring team of trainers in a uniquely simple and accessible way across all Apple devices to encourage our users to get fit and stay healthy.
Apple Fitness+: Motivation through Milestones
Users can play videos on the devices and do the whole thing easily and comfortably from home. Only a few exercises require specific accessories. As already mentioned, the Apple Watch monitors the training. This means that it records the movements, the duration of the training, the calories burned, the heart rate and much more. Basically, it works the same way as normal workouts. The training statistics can be viewed on the Apple Watch as usual or accessed on the iPhone, iPad or Apple TV. If milestones are reached during training, an animation appears on the screen - great motivation.
Apple Fitness+: Availability and Price
According to Apple, the new service will launch on December 14th and requires iOS 14.3, iPadOS 14.3, watchOS 7.2 and tvOS 14.3. Fitness+ costs $9.99 per month or $79.99 for an annual subscription. Family Sharing is included, allowing up to six members to participate in the program. The service is also included in the Apple One Premium bundle, which will initially only be available in select countries. The new service will be launched in the United States, Great Britain, New Zealand, Ireland, Canada and Australia. It remains to be seen when other countries will follow. (Image: Apple)
