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.

I love Apple fitness. I use it 5 days a week. It’ll be a tough sell for me to keep the family plan if they drop it.

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.

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.

And that, folks, is how this man makes his paycheck.

I was 48, medically obese and way out of shape... I looked at my Peloton instructors and thought the exact same thing as you.

By 50, I was down 45 lbs and running my first Chicago RSNA 5K at 6am in mid-December dark freezing cold along the frozen shores of Lake Michigan.

Now at 56, I'm down 70 lbs, I weigh less than I did in high school, I have a normal BMI, I've reversed all of my abnormal blood lab values, and can keep up with someone half my age. Even my shoe size went from double wide to normal. It can be done.
