When you subscribe to Apple Fitness+, you get access to a catalog of workouts, including Cycling, Strength, Treadmill (running and walking), Yoga, and more. Your metrics, like heart rate and calories burned, are shared from your Apple Watch to your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV while you work out, and sync with your daily activity data when you finish a workout.
You can also participate in guided Meditations—five, ten, or twenty minute long Meditations designed to help you develop a regular Meditation routine and improve your overall sense of well-being.
Apple Fitness+ requires Apple Watch Series 3 or later with watchOS 7.2 or later and one of the following Apple devices: iPhone 6s or later with iOS 14.3 or later, iPad with iPadOS 14.3 or later, or Apple TV 4K or Apple TV HD with tvOS 14.3 or later.
Use the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, or tvOS to get the newest features.
Note: Apple Fitness+ isn’t available in all countries or regions.
When it’s time to work out, you have lots of options. To help you pick, you can see details for every workout like its playlist and music genre, whether the workout has closed captions, as well as any equipment you need, such as dumbbells or a mat. You can also preview the workout before you get started.
Each of the Apple Fitness+ trainers bring their unique personality, taste in music, and training style to their workouts. You can read a bio for each trainer and see a list of every trainer’s workouts in the Fitness app.
During your workout, track your progress for each of your rings, as well as your heart rate and calories burned, right on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV.
Cycling, HIIT, Rowing, and Treadmill workouts also display the Burn Bar, which shows how your metrics compare to others who have done the workout before. The more calories you burn, the higher you land on the Burn Bar. Your position on the Burn Bar is saved in your workout summary along with your other metrics.
You can choose to bundle your Apple Fitness+ subscription with other Apple services by subscribing to Apple One Premier. See the Apple Support article Bundle Apple subscriptions with Apple One.
Note: Apple Fitness+ and Apple One Premier aren’t available in all countries or regions. See the Apple Support article Availability of Apple Media Services.
To use Apple Fitness+, you need the Fitness app on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV. If you don’t have the Fitness app on your device, you can download it from the App Store.
Cancel your Apple Fitness+ subscription
When you subscribe to Apple Fitness+ or Apple One Premier, you can use Family Sharing to share your subscription with up to five other family members. Your family group members don’t need to do anything—Apple Fitness+ is available to them the first time they open the Fitness app after your subscription begins, as long as they have an Apple Watch Series 3 or later. If a family member has an Apple Watch, but no iPhone (because their Apple Watch was set up by a family member), they can still use Apple Fitness+ with Apple TV or with an iPad.
Note: To stop sharing your Apple Fitness+ subscription with a family group, you can cancel the subscription, leave the family group, or (if you’re the family group organizer) stop using Family Sharing.
Set up Apple Fitness+ on Apple TV
Your Apple Watch syncs with the Fitness app on Apple TV 4K or Apple TV HD with tvOS 14.3 or later, so you can work out with Apple Fitness+ at home, in the office, or while you’re traveling.
To use Apple Fitness+ with Apple TV, you need to connect your Apple Watch.
If you use Family Sharing, you can easily switch between family members in the Fitness app on Apple TV. Friends or family outside of your Family Sharing group who are Apple Fitness+ subscribers can also work out using your Apple TV.
Apple Fitness+ can help you find a workout, Meditation, or routine that works for you. You can browse for individual workouts or Meditations, start a program with multiple episodes, sort and filter workouts of a specific type, or choose a recommended workout based on your activity. Mindful Cooldown workouts begin at five minutes and all other workout types start at ten minutes, with new workouts added every week. Meditations can be five, ten, or twenty minutes.
Apple Fitness+ recommends workouts based on the things you typically do with the Workout app on Apple Watch, as well as your favorite apps that work with the Health app. Apple Fitness+ will even suggest new trainers and workouts to help you round out your routine.
During the Meditation, your Apple Watch shows the elapsed time of the Meditation as well as your current heart rate. Swipe right to find controls to pause, resume, and end the Meditation. Tap the Workout button to start a workout while the Meditation continues to play.

Trainers may also offer directions on how to modify an exercise, such as doing the movement with bodyweight instead of a dumbbell.
