Apple Fitness+ began as an alternative to Peloton, and has grown into a comprehensive workout service, featuring outdoor walking and running workouts as well as yoga, core workouts, cardio training classes such as indoor cycling or rowing classes, meditation and mindfulness sessions. Apple Fitness+’s Collections section organizes series with specific themes such as Level Up Your Core Training or Start Your Day Off Right With Energy and Gratitude.
Workouts
Apple Fitness+ offers an expansive selection of workout classes that can be completed without equipment (some yoga and core workouts require mats) or with your own exercise equipment at home. Some are tailored towards specific types of exercises such as strength or treadmill running exercises.
Follow curated collections that suggest certain workouts over weeks or months – this can be especially helpful for people reentering fitness after an absence, or who prefer more structure when approaching fitness.
Example workouts designed specifically to commemorate Black History Month include this heart-thumping workout featuring hip-hop and R&B hits by artists such as Luther Vandross and Marvin Gaye that will get your blood pumping. You’ll find this workout and many others under Artist Spotlight collection. Other targeted muscle group or tempo options exist as well, like this core-centric session featuring music by Queen, Bananarama and UB40 from 1980s pop icons Queen, Bananarama and UB40 – available under Artist Spotlight collection.
Collections
Collections enable Apple Fitness+ subscribers to make more strategic workout choices over several days or weeks by opening the Fitness app and tapping Collections at the bottom of the screen.
Collections can include workouts from different exercise categories. For instance, the Pilates for More Than Your Core collection provides workouts designed to tone the entire body using bodyweight training and resistance bands.
Apple also provides collections tailored towards specific goals and themes. For instance, there’s the 6 Weeks to Restart Your Fitness series of workouts designed to help create new fitness habits; and an Exercise collection called Get Ready for Snow Season which includes workouts you can perform both on a treadmill and mountain bike.

AirPods Pro
Apple’s AirPods Pro earbuds provide superior sound quality. When listening to Elton John’s “Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters,” for instance, these buds deliver smooth vocals and distinct harmonies with clear separations between individual notes. Big Thief’s “Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You” was rendered equally well.
The second-generation AirPods Pro boast a new H2 chip to improve noise cancellation and audio quality, and support a feature called Personalized Spatial Audio which uses your iPhone’s TrueDepth camera to scan the area and create a 3-dimensional spatial sound experience.
Apple includes four sets of ear tips to ensure an ideal fit and ensure effortless wireless charging.
