Apple Fitness+ is Apple’s paid library of instructor-led video and audio workouts and guided meditations. You use it through the Fitness app on a compatible iPhone, iPad or Apple TV 4K. An Apple Watch is optional: an iPhone is enough to start and follow workouts, while the Watch adds live metrics such as heart rate, estimated calories and Activity-ring progress.
What Apple Fitness+ includes
Fitness+ is a streaming fitness service, not a gym membership, hardware plan or personal-training relationship. It is separate from the free activity-tracking features in Apple’s Fitness and Workout apps. The paid catalog combines instructor-led video sessions with audio workouts and meditations available in supported configurations.
Apple says sessions are generally 5 to 45 minutes, with new workouts and meditations added weekly. Many classes offer modifications and are approachable for beginners, but suitability still depends on your health, experience and limitations.
Workout and meditation categories
- Cycling
- HIIT
- Kickboxing
- Yoga
- Rowing
- Pilates
- Strength
- Treadmill Run
- Dance
- Core
- Mindful Cooldown
- Meditation
Music-led programming includes Artist Spotlight sessions. Meditation themes include areas such as Calm, Sleep and Sound. Collections group sessions around goals or interests, while Apple’s For You area recommends workouts based on activities, trainers, durations and music you favor. “Get Started,” “Stay Consistent” and “Push Further” plans help organize a routine; they do not replace a coach assessing your medical history or training load.
#1 Best Overall
- 【Strong Adsorption】The inspiration of the silicone phone suction case comes from the adhesive force of the octopus. Each suction cup phone mount is 3.15 inches long and 2.17 inches wide, with 24 independent suction cups providing a stronger and more stable suction force, so you don't have to worry about your phone falling during use.
- 【Back of Phone Suction Grip】Remove the adhesive film on the phone suction cup and stick it on the phone case. You can then fix the phone on any smooth surface, which is very convenient. (The phone suction cup cannot be removed and reused after being attached to the phone case. It is recommended to attach it to a regular phone case, not a valuable one.)
- 【Widely Used】Our non-slip silicone phone sticky grip mount attaches to almost any flat phone case and make it compatible with common mobile phones such as iPhone and Android.You can shoot, watch videos or video calls in the kitchen, gym, dance studio, bathroom and other places.
- 【Capture the Wonderful Picture】Whether you are a TikTok creator or just like to share videos and photos, this phone suction cup can help you hands-free capture wonderful videos and photos for sharing with friends.
- 【Note】You can fix the phone suction cup on a smooth surface such as a mirror or glass. If necessary, wipe the suction cup with a damp cloth to obtain stronger suction. Before releasing your hand, make sure the phone is firmly fixed. (Not applicable to rough walls, wooden surfaces, and other uneven surfaces)
Do you need an Apple Watch?
No. A compatible iPhone is sufficient for the core Fitness+ experience. You can browse the catalog, play the instructor’s video or audio and complete the workout without owning a Watch. Do not buy an Apple Watch solely to unlock Fitness+.
| Capability | iPhone only | iPhone with Apple Watch |
|---|---|---|
| Watch workout videos and follow coaching | Yes | Yes |
| Live heart-rate display from Apple Watch | No | Generally yes, when supported by the workout, hardware and software |
| Calories and Activity-ring progress onscreen | Watch metrics unavailable | Generally available in supported sessions |
| Workout information synchronized with Activity history | Basic Fitness+ experience | Deeper Activity and workout integration |
| Apple Watch audio workouts and meditations | No | Available in supported configurations |
With a Watch, the usual sequence is straightforward: start Fitness+ on your iPhone, iPad or Apple TV, let the Watch connect, view supported metrics during the session, then review the recorded activity afterward. Heart-rate and calorie figures are estimates affected by fit, sensors, workout type and software; they are not laboratory measurements or medical guarantees. A Watch displays data but does not make the instructor provide real-time, individualized coaching.
Compatible devices and software
Apple’s current support guide lists these baseline combinations:
Rank #2
- SUPERIOR COMFORT — Unlike traditional circular ear buds, the design of EarPods is defined by the geometry of the ear. Which makes them more comfortable for more people than any other ear bud–style headphones.
- HIGH-QUALITY AUDIO — The speakers inside EarPods have been engineered to maximize sound output and minimize sound loss, which means you get high-quality audio.
- BUILT-IN REMOTE — EarPods with USB-C plug also include a built-in remote that lets you adjust the volume, control the playback of music and video, and answer or end calls with a pinch of the cord.
- COMPATIBILITY — Works with all devices that have a USB-C port.
- INTEGRATED MICROPHONE — A built-in microphone precisely captures your voice while you’re on the phone, taking a FaceTime call, or summoning Siri — so you’re always heard loud and clear.
- iPhone only: iPhone 8 or later with iOS 16.1 or later.
- iPhone plus Apple Watch: Apple Watch Series 3 or later with watchOS 7.2 or later, paired with an iPhone 6s or later running iOS 14.3 or later.
- iPhone plus AirPods Pro 3: Apple’s guide lists iPhone 11 or later, or iPhone SE (2nd generation) or later, with iOS 26 or later for that supported configuration.
Apple says its latest features require an iPhone on iOS 26, iPad on iPadOS 26 or Apple TV 4K on tvOS 26, depending on the device. These are minimum requirements, not a promise that every feature works on every model. Apple specifically notes that content and features can vary by Apple TV hardware.
What’s actually slowing this PC down?
Pick the symptom - the matching free tool is one click away.
The iPhone is the practical starting point. An iPad gives you a larger screen through the Fitness app, and an Apple TV 4K puts the workout on a television. A Watch supplies tracking and metrics rather than replacing the screen. Supported heart-rate hardware, including certain AirPods or Beats configurations, may add information under current operating-system requirements.
Requirements and regional availability can change independently of whether a device can play video. Check Apple’s current compatibility page before buying hardware specifically for Fitness+: Apple Fitness+ device requirements.

What does Apple Fitness+ cost?
Apple’s listed U.S. prices are:
| Plan | U.S. price | When it makes sense |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly | $9.99 per month | Trying the service or using it for a short period |
| Annual | $79.99 per year | Expecting regular use for roughly eight months or more in a year |
Twelve monthly payments total $119.88, so the annual plan saves $39.89—about 33%—against a full year of monthly billing. Taxes, local pricing and cancellation terms can differ. Family Sharing lets the purchaser share with up to five additional family members, which can materially improve household value. Apple One may bundle Fitness+ with other Apple services in eligible regions; compare the bundle with the services you already use rather than assuming it is cheaper.

Free trials and device promotions
Apple advertises a standard one-month free trial for new subscribers, subject to the offer terms. It also advertises three months free for eligible purchases of new devices, which can include certain iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, Apple TV, AirPods Pro 3 and Powerbeats Pro 2 models. Eligibility depends on country, device, purchase channel, purchase date, prior subscription history and the stated claim period; a new Apple device does not automatically qualify.
A payment method may be required, and trials commonly renew into paid subscriptions unless canceled before renewal. Check the offer shown on your Apple Account and the applicable terms at Apple’s U.S. promotion terms. If a promised trial is absent, verify that the purchase qualifies, that the claim window has not expired and that the Apple Account has not already redeemed the offer.

- Often little or none: meditation, mindful cooldown, yoga, many core and dance sessions, and many HIIT workouts.
- Possible basic equipment: strength classes may use dumbbells or other weights; some sessions provide bodyweight alternatives or substitutions.
- Required or assumed equipment: cycling needs an indoor bike, rowing needs a rowing machine, and treadmill formats need a treadmill if you intend to follow the prescribed run or walk.
Fitness+ supplies instruction and streaming content; it does not supply gym equipment.
Who is Apple Fitness+ best for?
Strong fit
- iPhone owners wanting short, structured workouts at home or while traveling.
- Apple Watch owners who value integrated heart-rate and Activity information.
- Beginners who benefit from demonstrations, modifications and clear class lengths.
- Households able to use Family Sharing.
- People who want variety without planning every session themselves.
Potentially weaker fit
- Android users without a compatible iPhone.
- People seeking live two-way classes, direct trainer feedback or social accountability.
- Serious strength trainees who need detailed progression, individualized programming or sport-specific periodization.
- Anyone requiring rehabilitation or medical exercise programming.
- Users who exercise only occasionally or already prefer another platform’s instructors and content.
For injury, pregnancy, chronic disease or rehabilitation, seek appropriate medical or qualified professional guidance before following general-audience workouts.
Apple Fitness+ compared by use case
Fitness+’s main advantage is the combination of polished instruction, short sessions and Apple-device integration. Nike Training Club is a credible free-content alternative for people avoiding a paid subscription (official site). Peloton is more relevant if live classes, community features or equipment-centered training matter most (official site). YouTube offers maximum free variety, but programming consistency, production quality and instructor credentials vary (official site).
Choose based on live interaction, progression, equipment, free access, social features and instructor preferences—not subscription price alone.

Apple Watch metrics do not appear
- Confirm the Watch is paired with the correct iPhone and both devices are updated.
- Check Bluetooth and account connectivity.
- Start the workout from Fitness+ and allow the Watch connection prompt to complete.
- Restart or re-pair devices if necessary.
- Check whether that metric is supported for the specific workout and hardware combination.
You were charged after a trial
Automatic conversion is common unless you cancel. Review the Apple Account subscription-management screen and cancel there if you do not want the next renewal; the exact deadline is governed by the offer terms.
The bottom line
Apple Fitness+ is best understood as a guided workout and meditation catalog for people already using Apple devices. A compatible iPhone is enough to subscribe and exercise, so test the service before buying a Watch. The Watch is worthwhile when live metrics and deeper Activity integration matter, not because it is required. At U.S. prices of $9.99 monthly or $79.99 annually, regular users and families get the strongest value; people needing live coaching, clinical guidance or advanced individualized training should look elsewhere.
