Apple has confirmed that its Fitness+ subscription service is now available without an Apple Watch.
A new update will be introduced to the Fitness+ app later this fall in all 21 countries where the service is offered. From next week (September 12), Fitness+ will introduce the fourth season of Time to Walk featuring new guests such as actor Regina Hall, Latin Grammy winner Nicky Jam, and Emmy Award-winning performer Leslie Jordan.
Speaking of the update, Jay Blahnik, Apple’s vice president of Fitness Technologies, said: “Since launching just under two years ago, we have heard incredible feedback from users on what a difference Fitness+ is making in their lives. We are thrilled to bring the award-winning service to even more people by making Fitness+ available to all iPhone users later this fall, even if they don’t have an Apple Watch. We can’t wait for more people around the world to stay motivated toward their fitness and wellness goals, and live a healthier day.”
iOS 16, set to be released next week, will see a number of new features coming to the Fitness+ platform, including dedicated awards for personal records, streaks, or major milestones, and on Apple Watch, Fitness+ workouts now display additional onscreen guidance along with trainer coaching to help users get the most out of their workouts, including Intensity for HIIT, Cycling, Rowing, and Treadmill; Strokes per Minute (SPM) for Rowing; Revolutions per Minute (RPM) for Cycling; and Incline for walkers and runners in Treadmill.
