Got it included with my health plan too but plan to pay for it when the year expires. We use it 3-4 times per week - strength and rowing.
Especially great in the winter when the weather is bad. Or any time it’s raining.
Got a tip for us?

Why not close the platform directly? Any youtube video can replace the service.
Why is it that people who don't exercise are always surprised to find out there are (lots and lots) of people who do exercise?
I am surprised to read that many negative comments and notions about that service. I believe it to be a fantastic product, making guided fitness workouts available for the wider masses.
Can you clear enough floor space to lay down a yoga mat? That’s all the space I could get even in a big house because of how things are laid out here. I don’t currently do yoga but I use the mat as a cushion for the other exercises I do, which is a very modest version of the workout I did in high school physical training, since I’m recovering from Covid and I’m old and beat up. That mat goes everywhere, I even drag it out on the lawn. I like to be outside, too.
Sad to see them go. Hopefully Apple can get more people into Fitness+.
What, like my late fifties self and early fifties wife?
Why not close Apple music? All tracks are available in Youtube.
Probably held out for a raise and Apple called their bluff. End of an economic cycle not a good time to play hardball.
I love Fitness+. Without this service, lockdowns in the pandemic would have been much less fun. I'm basically addicted to it now, try to do at least one workout every day, even if it's 10 minutes.
Peloton has only had a single English language instructor leave in the past 2 years.
… and Molly is way more for flexible than I am, then she’s been doing this for decades I gather.
This is an expensive service to run... Studios, trainers, script writers/plan creators... And a constant demand for new material to keep everybody interested.
Here in the UK Apple ask £10 a month for it or bundled with Apple One for £15 a month (£20 a month, in reality, because you're going to want to share it with your family).
It's a luxury product that Apple's trying to sell to the mainstream. I think they've miscalculated here, which could be why they're contracting.
It also feels like one more of these wealthy white people projects Apple seems keen on nowadays.

There are also things like iCloud storage, which cost only a few bucks a year but would also count as a paid subscription service. That’s the only paid consumer Apple subscription I have.
Much of it would have been App Store revenue? Apple’s 30% cut on all apps and in-app purchases.
They should have at least one instructor with a sense of irony, when I used Fitness+ I found the enthusiasm of instructors a bit terrifying and I wondered if it was due to medication.
Why is there so many negative and ignorant comments?
If it wasn’t for Fitness+ I wouldn’t be in to fitness. One thing I like about this service compared to other things I’ve tried (not tried peloton) is the personality of the trainers. They make me want to exercise.
Shame we are losing these two, but thankfully all their content will be staying.

No, don't go painting with such a superior, holier than thou brush there.
I exercise, and am surprised.
My own exercise — Yoga in the studios with other people, Cycling on the road and hiking in the hills.
I am — and will continue to be — surprised that people will exercise all by themselves in a room with just a TV or a computer following along with an over-hyped, over-energized stranger… 🤷🏻♂️
I am even more surprised that some people on here seem to develop profoundly deep affections for these trainers.
But, that's just me.
Yes! Agree.
Like an Apple Event on steroids…
Because some people are introverts and prefer their own company? Or maybe don’t have the confidence to go to a gym and this helps them build confidence all whilst getting fit in the process?
Thanks.
However, I'm an introvert. Yet I still prefer a qualified instructor in real life to adjust or help me get things right.
There is only so much you can gain from a generalised pre-recorded "show".
