The Future of Apple Fitness+ Remains 'Under Review'

The future of Apple Fitness+ remains "under review," according to the latest word from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. However, he did not share any specific details.

"If I were to guess, Apple will ultimately meld its Health app with Fitness+ in some fashion — perhaps offering it as a combined subscription," said Gurman.

Gurman recently reported that Apple has scaled back plans for a separate Apple Health+ subscription service, which would have provided AI-powered health recommendations. However, he said some of the features that would have been part of Apple Health+ will be repurposed and rolled out individually.

Launched in 2020, Apple Fitness+ offers a library of trainer-led workout and meditation videos in Apple's Fitness app, across the iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. In the U.S., the service costs $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year. Apple Fitness+ is also included in the Apple One Premier bundle for $37.95 per month.

This is absolutely what Fitness+ should do. It should suggest workouts that would be most relevant and beneficial to improving the user (based on the Health data), while offering a customized dashboard to track and encourage the progress, with tips like nutrition.

Apple's lack of commitment to fitness as a real, integrated concept means that unless you buy into gym-bro thinking, you're basically out of luck. Combined with its failure to double down on the Health app-specifically, improving its ability to import key metrics and lab measurements (e.g., ketones) while still prioritizing individual privacy—this all but guarantees another squandered Apple product. Sad.

Well, they have recently launched it in Poland as a separate subscription service - without even providing a voice over with Polish voices... so well...
Few people are going to pay for an incomplete service.

Add more languages for voiceovers, add some local known trainers, add app for Android TV and you got a better service already.

They lack commitment to all of their services except Apple TV.

During lockdown these fitness+ dance classes were a godsend- they kept me active when I could barely leave the house and gave me a routine that I could stick to when everything felt out of control. I certainly am not as active on it anymore but maybe do one or two workouts a month on it. I have tried the other products on fitness plus- like i tried the walking tour feature but I found it very strange and impersonal. I have also heard the HIIT workouts are good but they never really connected for me like the dance ones did.

I have it as part of the big apple bundle- i mostly have that for music, tv, and cloud storage, but the fitness+ is okay, if they integrate tighter with health it would be interesting.

I would be great if Apple would stop spamming me routinely to accept the 3mos trial. I've had to dismiss that on each of my device routinely for a long time now. I've long been a subscriber to the base family plan, and would consider going to the premier plan for the 2TB storage if they would drop Fitness+ and lower the price by a few dollars.

I made that prediction. Logical since one is doing poorly to increase the value.
 
If I were to guess, Apple will offer Health+ as part of the Fitness Studio. All of it will be powered by Apple Intelligence.

Same. I'm 63 and overweight - I cower just looking at the muscled and toned trainers on Fitness+ and automatically jump to 'Nope, not for me!'.

Please don’t. Follow along as best you can and you’ll improve over time. They always have people doing modifications and there’s no judgement. That’s the thing that put me off face to face classes years ago. If you want to compete, compete with yourself - better than last week, not as good as next week.
