According to the company, "many Fitness Plus workouts require no equipment at all or just a set of dumbbells," while the more equipment-based cycling, treadmill, and rowing workouts should be doable with almost any bike, treadmill, or rowing machine that users have.
According to Jay Blahnik, Apple's senior director of Fitness Technologies, "Being more active is one of the most important things we can do for our health, but we know choosing to work out can often be a challenge whether you’re very active or just getting started."
"We are excited for Apple Fitness+ to bring together the metrics from Apple Watch, great music, and a diverse and inspiring trainer team -- in a uniquely simple, easy-to-access way across Apple devices -- to encourage our users to get fit and stay healthy."
Apple says that the Fitness+ service gives users the option to pick from nine different styles, including Latest Hits, Chill Vibes, Upbeat Anthems, Pure Dance, Throwback Hits, Everything Rock, Latin Grooves, Hip Hop/R&B, and Top Country, and see the full workout playlist before they start.
They can also filter by music to find the right workout to fit their current mood.
For ultimate flexibility, most workouts range in increments of 10, 20, 30, and 45 minutes.
