Apple Fitness+ to Add Kickboxing Workouts, Sleep Meditations, and More

[Atphoto]

Still no Fitness+ in my country (The Netherlands). It's a bloody shame really, just release the English app here already.

Yes, this is a huge issue, not available in most countries and also can't use Apple One Premium for that reason.

The HIIT classes have no levels of intensity. They supose that you already have a super good physical condition and you ca jump like crazy at home all the time.
I would love to have “low impact high intensity” trainings as many YouTube channels provide.
Also there are no body weight trainings!, that is super necessary. I really don’t recommend Apple fitness in general for those reasons.

There’s HIIT for beginners.

My wife and I took a look at Apple Fitness+ yesterday to see if we would like it.

Ummm...

No.

Where the heck did they find the trainers for this thing? They come across with strange personalities I would more likely associate with Heaven's Gate, Scientology, or NXIVM. I had this creepy feeling after watching a couple of their videos that I should give up all my money to the cult and live on their commune until the spaceship came.

It took half a bottle of bourbon last night to wash the vision from my mind.

But yet...

Perhaps AA might be a better choice for you?!

Slightly off-topic, but has anyone else noticed the exercises/moves getting unnecessarily complex? Specifically with HIIT and Strength.

Every HIIT class has 3 instructors, the one on the left is always low intensity, they take out all of the jumps and much of the effort that the other two do specifically for those who either don't want to or can't jump. The middle is for most and right turns it right up.

No idea why you are not seeing that.

Yes. Greg Cook did some absurd leg rotations.

Even though I like the mediation, they shall use proper mic equipment, not the same ones they use for sports

This is my biggest issue with Fitness+ (which I actually love and use daily). While it’s nice having the easy trainer in the back left, sometimes the workout itself is just too intense for my fitness level (and perhaps age). Meanwhile, other workouts are just right. This is true of all workouts, including yoga and strength training, but HIIT is the worst. I would absolutely love some indication of workout level, such as beginner, intermediate, and advanced. I’m aware there are “beginner” workouts, but those only go so far.

Good to hear about this. Wish Fitness+ expands to other regions.

Fitness+ is like all good apple products: a completely washed experience tailored to not offence anyone, removed from any risk taking and powered with corporate display of overly exaggerated positive expressions and bundled with as many synergies as possible with all apple products.

It’s creepy, lacks what you want, for example the ability to not have horrid music or simply put your own, it’s full of apple rings placement that are completely outdated and the views coupled with the quantity of talkings from the instructors make it very difficult to follow when doing specific moves. It’s really a horrible showcase of what apple can do.

Hopefully it’s coming to you soon. They seem to think they need local language support before launching - with a half-Dutch family I know most people in NL speak better English than most “native” speakers!

I use apple fitness daily. I switch between functional strength workouts, spin bike, rowing, core, HIIT, and yoga. They fit my time commitment and intensity level well. I’m not training to be an elite athlete, I don’t need to push myself or train like one.

I’ll definitely try out kickboxing and meditate to sleep.

My biggest request would be more training programs. Setup a 30 day selected workouts to follow.

I just rotate through those that I’m able to do - so Yoga, Core, Strength, Pilates & Mindful Cooldown, with a mediation each evening too.

why no Fitness on Mac? why do I have to use my little iPad?

You can use an Apple TV. I prefer using my iPhone just so I can move it around easily to try and make sure I’m doing it right!

Not just that but most of these fitness apps are in English anyway, like from Les Mills.

Nice to see more content coming to Apple Fitness+

Apple fitness + had been very helpful to me. I lowered my cholesterol levels over the last six months. I have average fitness and a busy schedule. Before getting fitness +, I had tried going to the gym but would stop after a few months.

You can airplay from your iPad or Phone. I agree it's silly though.

you know, if you fast and limit your calorie intake while also only eating real Whole Foods (nothing processed, no sugar, no oils) your body will fix all its problems on its own. The higher cholesterol may be coming from eating processed carbohydrates such as cereals and breads. You can eat a bunch of eggs daily and your cholesterol wont go up. I did it. If you don't eat cholesterol, your body will create it on its own because you need it but it takes a bad turn when you eat processed carbohydrates.
