Apple Fitness+, the Cupertino tech giant’s award-winning fitness and wellness service, will finally be launched in Singapore on Dec 15, since its debut five years ago. Apple Fitness+ will be available as a subscription service for S$9.98 per month or S$79.00 per year, and can be shared with up to five other family members.
With this worldwide expansion, users in 49 countries and regions around the world can access the service’s 12 different workout types – including Strength, Yoga, HIIT, Pilates, Dance, Cycling, Kickboxing, and Meditation – with episodes ranging from five to 45 minutes on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV.
Users can supercharge their Fitness+ workouts with Apple Watch, or use AirPods Pro 3 and view personal metrics directly onscreen, such as heart rate, calories burned, progress on their Activity rings, and the Burn Bar, which lets users compare their effort to others who have done the same workout. With Custom Plans, Fitness+ automatically creates a personalised schedule based on users’ workout and meditation preferences, including their top activities, durations, trainers, music, and etc.
Music is key to the Fitness+ experience, thanks to a deep integration with Apple Music and inspiring music genres such as Upbeat Anthems, Latest Hits, Hip-Hop/R&B, and Latin Grooves. Now, Fitness+ is turning up the volume with a new K-Pop music genre that will be available across all workout types with global hits from top artists.
There are also many ways that Fitness+ seeks to keep you motivated for your workouts. For instance, the Artist Spotlight series dedicates entire workout playlists to a single artist, featuring music from some of the world’s biggest artists, including Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, BTS, Selena Gomez, and Coldplay.
In addition, Collections, a curated series of workouts and meditations from the Fitness+ library, are organised to help users reach their goals or find workouts that fit their interests, including Run Your First 5K, Pilates for More Than Your Core, No Shoes Workouts, So Fresh! 90s Dance, and more.
Finally, users can explore 12 unique meditation themes, including Calm, Sleep, and Sound, featuring easy-to-follow techniques that can help them recharge, better connect with themselves and others, and have more mindful moments throughout their day.
In some countries, Fitness+ and News+ are bundled together with Apple One higher-tier subscription known as Premier. As of press time, there is no indication that Fitness+ will come bundled with the current Apple One subscription in Singapore.
