Apple Fitness+ adds augmented‑reality workouts to its digital fitness platform
Apple Fitness+, the subscription‑based workout service launched in December 2020, now offers augmented‑reality (AR) workout experiences that integrate with the Apple Watch and other Apple devices. The service provides a wide range of classes—including HIIT, yoga, dance, rowing and meditation—and tracks personalized metrics such as heart rate and calories in real time. Subscribers pay $9.99 per month for access to weekly content updates and a library of guided sessions.
In addition to Apple’s own offering, the Apple Watch ecosystem supports a variety of third‑party fitness apps. Popular choices include Strava for road‑running and cycling, as well as other apps that leverage the watch’s GPS and health sensors to deliver social competition, route planning and detailed performance analytics.
