Apple Fitness+ Now Offers Over 4,000 Workout and Meditation Videos

What would be truly amazing is if Apple opened up "Apple Fitness Studios" around the world like they do with Apple Stores. All Apple+ users get free access. That would be world-changing, but extremely expensive for them. Maybe they could open up Stores that have a Fitness Studio within it?

It’d be cool, but a really big liability.

Epic delivery failure of epically great content. Apple has not listened to any customer suggestions/complains since Fitness+ was introduced:

With massive content, you need powerful filtering. Still missing in action. Suppose I have a leg injury and I can't do lunges (as in a lot of content) - so just standing and bouncing until another move comes up is a waste of time and I want to do upper body. Absolutely no way to filter for that. I could go on and on... but you get the point. I had signed up for a year subscription and while i liked the instructors and workouts (looking at you Bakari and HIIT), it took too much time to find suitable workouts to cover all muscle groups or to avoid groups that were already over-worked by a different workout.

You cannot bookmark workouts, or create meaningful sequences of workouts (and save them) to work all muscle groups, or whatever your goal is.

The content is wasted if it cannot be searched and organized according to customer needs. I'll sign up again if that ever happens.

You can bookmark them. There’s a save button.

Apple Music is just like Spotify, one can have an individual subscription or a family subscription (with only two people, one gets a fifty percent discount for the second user). If you are talking about Fitness+ here, and it is (and always has been) available for family sharing at no additional cost.

You seem to be mixing Apple Music and Fitness+ in your comments. Fitness+ subscriptions - both stand-alone and part of AppleOne bundles - have always supported Family Sharing. Apple Music, has a Family Plan option, just like Spotify.

I think the OP meant that you can only see one user’s metrics on-screen.

After a hard days work, who has time for all this poncing about?

Do some “poncing about” and you’ll quickly find your hard days’ work doesn’t feel as hard.

Maybe if you’re from South America or Japan, where it’s the one studied at school. In most Europe we study British English at school, so it’s a lot more familiar and easier to understand for us.

I studied British English and did my Cambridge exams (FC, CAE and CPE, don't know if that are still called like that) and while without some modesty I find most English accents quite understandable I still think US English is usually the easiest.
And no, I'm not from America and Japan. In from one of those Europeans countries that subtitle everything expect children content.

I was about to say, in countries that don't dub but subtitle, it's American English that is prevalent due to most TV content in English being from the US.

Also this doesn’t make a lot of sense as licensing rights for music are unified in Europe.

I’m not buying Blahnik’s response anyway. Apple Music is available virtually everywhere, and it offers millions of songs in contrast to the few handpicked ones in F+.

Considering how terrible is the music they use I’d rather have a version without any music where I can add whatever I prefer rather than that horrible selection. Also this doesn’t make a lot of sense as licensing rights for music are unified in Europe.

yeah i'd also just like to have silence instead of music if it means i get fitness+

While you clearly know more than he does, that Apple has rights to deliver paid music streaming content, does not also give it rights to deliver that music in other forms or for other uses (like ads, or Fitness+). Those rights need to be negotiated by the rights holders for each territory.

The US accent is probably the easiest to understand for non native speakers.

The US accent is probably the easiest to understand for non-native speakers? Hmm I’ll take British English any day.

Do they have virtual treadmill runs or bike rides? Also, is there any way to see the watch info projected on the screen while watching other content? Those would be features I would use a lot, and from there I would be curious to check out other workouts.

If you meant like zwift, fullgas, ROUVY then the answer is know. I have used them a lot but now-a-days use Garmin and for video it is either GCN training from YouTube or just plain TV.

Apple’s biking and rowing both are bad, you would develop bad habits or even injure yourself.

Utter rubbish. The rowing sessions are delivered by, for the main part, an ex US team level and former college rower who knows EXACTLY what he's doing. The pyramid and interval builds are absolutely classic pattern workouts for multi-system improvements in fitness. I've been rowing almost 30 years and I can tell you without question that the Fitness+ rowing sessions work just fine. They're especially good precisely because they allow new rowers to set their own effort levels. You have zero idea what you're talking about.
