The health and wellness service was first introduced in 2020
Apple Fitness+ will be available in India later this month, the company announced on Monday. It is the Cupertino-based tech giant's health and wellness subscription service that helps users with their workouts by providing access to trainer-guided workout videos, tracking real-time metrics, and earning rewards for goal accomplishments — all with just their iPhone. Following its latest expansion, Apple Fitness+ will be available in a total of 49 countries and regions around the world.
Apple will launch the Fitness+ service in India on December 15, as per a newsroom post. The tech giant claims that it is the service's biggest expansion since its launch five years ago in 2020. Initially introduced in six countries, which was later expanded to 21, it will be available in a total of 49 regions worldwide.
Similar to its global availability, the health and wellness service will be offered on a subscription basis in India, with prices beginning at Rs. 149 per month. Apple users can enrol in an annual plan, which costs Rs. 999 per year. The Apple Fitness+ subscription can be shared with up to five other family members, as per the company.
Customers who purchase a new Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, AirPods Pro 3, and Powerbeats Pro 2 from Apple or an Apple Authorised Reseller will receive three months of a complimentary Apple Fitness+ subscription, provided their devices are capable of running the latest operating system software.
Once available, Apple users in India will be able to access over 12 different workout types via Apple Fitness+. This includes Strength, Yoga, HIIT, Pilates, Dance, Cycling, Kickboxing, and Meditation. The service offers training episodes of varied length, from five minutes to 45 minutes. While Apple Fitness+ does work with an iPhone, users can take advantage of their Apple Watch or AirPods Pro 3 to keep a close eye on their personal metrics, such as heart rate, calories burned, and Activity Rings progress.
Apple Fitness+ also allows them to create a personalised schedule based on their workout and meditation preferences. Details such as the top activities, durations, trainers, music, and more are taken into account when creating custom plans.
The Apple Fitness+ app features an integration with the Apple Music app, allowing users to listen to genres like Hip-Hop, R&B, Latin Grooves, and other upbeat anthems for motivation during their workout.
Alongside India, the service is also launching in Chile, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Norway, the Philippines, Poland, Singapore, Sweden, Taiwan, Vietnam, and 17 other countries and regions beginning December 15.
