Apple Fitness+ Now Offers Over 4,000 Workout and Meditation Videos
Men's Journal's Jacob Krol was recently invited to tour the Apple Fitness+ studio in Santa Monica, California, providing another behind-the-scenes look at the subscription-based workout service. Krol had the opportunity to speak with Jay Blahnik, Apple's VP of Fitness Technologies, and met many of the trainers involved in the workouts.
Apple said Fitness+ now offers over 4,000 workouts and meditations, with new ones added every week. The videos range from 5 to 45 minutes in length, and there are a dozen workout types available, with the latest additions including pilates and kickboxing.
"Everything we look at going forward is about how do we make sure that people have great success in their fitness journey, whether Apple Fitness+ is a complement to something they already love to do outside of our service, or whether Apple Fitness+ is the only thing they do to get moving and meditate," said Blahnik. "What can we do to make the experience even easier, smoother, something they can fit into their life more regularly?"
Launched in 2020, Fitness+ is available in the Fitness app on the iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. The service can now be used with just an iPhone, but an Apple Watch is still needed to view real-time, personal metrics on screen during workouts, such as heart rate and calories burned. In the U.S., Fitness+ is priced at $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year, or it can be bundled with other Apple services via Apple One for $32.95 per month.
A single Fitness+ subscription can be shared with up to five other family members, and the service comes with a free one-month trial for all users. Users who purchase a new iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Apple TV qualify for a three-month trial.

I must say, it took some time but now I really like it! Still, I have one complaint (controversial, don't shoot me). It seems very US tailored. The body language, the talking, and even, well the "size" of the trainers. Don't get me wrong, but look at the picture. The trainer shouldn't have a bigger belly than me ?You are not be wrong about your perceptions on the content being US-centric. Americans are a very proud people, to the extent that they think they are the "best", not unlike China or Russia or a dozen other countries. While Apple is a very proud American corporation, I'd like to see them take a truly international effort with their Fitness like they have with Music.

Are you claiming that LaShawn is fat? She’s in excellent shape and has immense stamina. What do you want them to do? Talk about policy debates in Brussels?
