Apple Launches Fitness+, Three-Month Free Trial Now Available for New Apple Watch Owners

[fcs132]

That takes me to a link that says it‘s not compatible with my 2018 iPad Pro.

Maybe hasn’t propagated, but I expected it to install with the OS, not be a separate download.

Its a separate download, here's more info: https://fitness.apple.com/us/subscribe?itscg=10000&itsct=fit-localnav-fp_ovp-apl-avl-201111

So, I guess the Fitness app for iPad will show up at some point today in App Store.

That’s the iPhone link. You get an error message on iPad like below:

Give it an hour, I see iPad screenshots on my device.

It doesn't make sense, unless they think the rest of the world doesn't speak/understand English.

Not saying this is the only thing in play here (might be Apple’s own decision), but some countries and region have language laws that require products and services to be available in the local language(s) to be sold/offered in those locations.

Earlier it showed a message that it wasn't compatible with my iPad, now it shows that it's only an iPhone/Apple Watch app. It appears they've pulled the iPad app for reasons unknown.

Says compatible with my iPad, but doesn’t appear to be downloadable yet.

Yeah it says further down that it is compatible with this iPad so it must just be taking a little longer than expected.

I'm in Canada with Apple Watch S6 but I only see a 1 month trial in the app. Shouldn't I be getting 3 month free? Strange.

Make sure both the phone and watch are updated

Do you HAVE to have a watch to use this? I restarted my iPhone and still only see Summary and Sharing in the fitness app.

Not yet available despite all devices being updated

Yes. Fitness+ requires an Apple Watch.

Interesting - that page makes it sound like it requires an iPad Air. No mention of the iPad Pro...

”Optional: iPad Air 2 or later updated to iPadOS 14.3 and the Fitness app installed.”

if the iPad Pro isn’t supported that’ll be some BS.

Does anyone know if you can use Family Share access with your 3-month trial? Can other family members access the fitness classes/App to try it out? Thank you

I did. Still don't see a 3 month free trial.

I did. Still don't see a 3 month free trial.

I have Family Share btw.

Couple questions:
-Bestbuy offered members a 2 month Fitness+ free sub...anyone know how to get it?
-looks like CVS offers a one year sub or something?

 

[movielad]

3 month option was present for me here in the UK

Thanks for confirming. Did you buy yours direct from Apple, or through a carrier such as EE? I'm the former.

 

[Lord Hamsa]

Dumb question, but which exercise type(s) should I choose if I want to do workouts on my elliptical machine? I guess treadmill or HIIT would work, maybe?

 

[itsmeaustend]

Not compatible with anything else other than Air 2...?

 

[johnyslats]

Thanks for confirming. Did you buy yours direct from Apple, or through a carrier such as EE? I'm the former.

Direct from Apple too. You’ve updated the watch firmware too?

I purchased a Series 6 AW from Best Buy, since they had the special 6-month free trial of Apple Fitness+. However, the button that showed up for me on the AppleTV stated only a 3-month free trial. So, it seems to know that I'm eligible for a free trial, but not the 6-month Best Buy free trial. Apple Support suggested reaching out to Best Buy but I have little confidence that will provide an answer. Can anyone see the 6-month BB free trial?

I can't seem to get the Fitness app to show on the iPad Pro 2020, even after a restart. I got it working on Apple TV and iPhone though.

Me too
