Apple Fitness+ review

Apple Fitness+ is the easiest recommendation for anyone already carrying an iPhone. It offers 12 workout types, including Strength, HIIT, Yoga, Pilates, Cycling, Rowing, Treadmill Run, Kickboxing and Dance, plus Meditation, with new sessions each week that run from 5 to 45 minutes. Custom Plans turn your favorite activities into a weekly schedule, and the For You section learns your preferred trainers, durations and music. With an Apple Watch, AirPods Pro 3 or a Bluetooth heart rate monitor you see live stats and the Burn Bar during each session, and the Summary tab and awards track progress afterward. At $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year, it costs less than most rivals, and a new eligible Apple device adds three free months. The catch is the ecosystem: there is no Android app, and lifters who want deep periodized programs will find more structure in Ladder or Fitbod.
