Apple Fitness+ Starts Rolling Out in 15 Additional Countries

Ok so it's all in English - Wife went from totally hyped to totally uninterested. How are you going to meditate if you have to read the subtitles all the time?

What did Apple do since December 2020 when it originally launched in the US? I was pretty sure they used the time to get either the audio localised or have some local Yoga/Pilates/Whatever guys record it so the non-english speakers understand it.

Not buying, sorry.

I have also activated the 3 months trial (you get them if you bought an Apple Watch 7) from my phone and I tried to restart my iPad too, but I can’t see the Fitness app in iPad App Store ?
 
I have my system language (not region) set to English and after subscribing [Austria], I found that I can only access F+ when setting the primary OS language to German — Unless that's a rollout issue, it'd be a hard stop for me. :mad:

Time to learn English — It's not like that they're reading a novel on F+

I’m the opposite, I could download the app in my 2 iPads, but don’t get the tab in the iPhone. Can’t find it on Apple TV either.

That’s funny. I only have access on my iPhone. iPad and Apple TV aren’t working lol

Please say you’re joking.
 
Nope. Switching to German did not, I repeat, did not do the trick.
Berlin, still waiting for it to grace us with its appearance.
 
I am more interested in Apple one premium, as i need 2 TB and pay now 19,9 plus 9,9 without f+…. My Apple Watch won’t arrive till end of November.
 
Works on my ATV. Not yet on my iPhone.

(Willkommen, Deutschland= Welcome, Germany)

My ID is part of a Family Sharing situation.
I can now see a button under “more to share” but it does weird multi-tasking swtcheroos, I think I’ll give it all arest and meditate for half an hour. Namaste ?
 
Switching language from German to English and back on iPhone did the trick for me.

Update: now fitness+ tab is gone again. ?
 
For the impatient ones: if you happen to have an iPad laying around, you might like to install the activity app for iPad. Launching that app might greet you with the obligatory advertising sheet and button. All the while set on iPad, it took two restarts on iPhone to show up there as well. Hope this helps and viel Spaß beim rumturnen.

Yeah, after a year one might think they did more than adding Subtitles to an already finished product. Little did we know… sorry to read the language barrier is a No for you guys. Most of my folks are bilingual but not so very well versed in English, as well.

It just appeared on my Apple TV (Italy).
Strangely enough, even if I’m logged in and I see my little icon on the top left corner of the Fitness+ screen, the app apparently isn’t able to recognize that I have an active Apple One subscription therefore it’s offering me a trial period…

That behaviour is to be expected, I’m afraid. Fitness + requires the next higher up tier which is Premier or Premium (as it is called here in Germany). If that tier does not show up in settings, but just F+, I’d suggest to go ahead with that trial and wait a couple of days until the infrastructure is up-to-date.
You can then upgrade from “Apple Family” to Premium/Premier. Hope this helps.
 
For everyone frustrated that it is not supported in your country yet, Fitness+ relies on Apple Music so the licensing agreements with music publishing companies need to be updated before launch. This is not a quick process.

so iphone restart solved this... also thought Fitness is included in the standard Apple One, but it requires the premium (which strangely is not available on my phone, though it should be according to Apple). Luckily I got a replacement Watch few days ago and it includes 3 months of Fitness+ :)

I watched a few workouts but I am not really amazed, I hate this "cheering-up" exercising, probably a cultural thing, but I just want the coach to tell what to do with a normal calm voice :confused: But guess I am not the target group for this, hehe (and will keep using my yoga15 subscription)
