Tech major Apple on Monday announced Apple Fitness+, the award-winning fitness and wellness service, is launching in India on December 15, as part of the service’s largest expansion since its launch five years ago.

“Through its seamless integration across Apple devices, Fitness+ has helped inspire users to live a healthier day,” said Jay Blahnik, Apple’s vice president of Fitness Technologies. “From seeing real-time, personal metrics right onscreen with Apple Watch or AirPods Pro 3, to the ability to bring the service with you wherever you go on iPhone or iPad, we’re delivering unmatched motivation to users. We couldn’t be more excited to bring this experience to even more users around the globe with our biggest expansion yet.”

With this expansion, users in 49 countries and regions around the world can access the service’s 12 different workout types — including Strength, Yoga, HIIT, Pilates, Dance, Cycling, Kickboxing, and Meditation — with episodes ranging from five to 45 minutes on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV.

Users can supercharge their Fitness+ workouts with Apple Watch, or use AirPods Pro 3 and view personal metrics directly onscreen, such as heart rate, calories burned, progress on their Activity rings,2 and the Burn Bar,3 which lets users compare their effort to others who have done the same workout.

With Custom Plans, Fitness+ automatically creates a personalized schedule based on users’ workout and meditation preferences, including their top activities, durations, trainers, music, and more.

Music is key to the Fitness+ experience, thanks to a deep integration with Apple Music and inspiring music genres such as Upbeat Anthems, Latest Hits, Hip-Hop/R&B, and Latin Grooves. Now, Fitness+ is turning up the volume with a new K-Pop music genre that will be available across all workout types with global hits from top artists.

More Ways to Stay Motivated with Fitness+

Custom Plans make it easier than ever to follow a personalised schedule. Stay Consistent offers a premade schedule that fits users’ routines. Push Further adds workout time or more sessions for those seeking a challenge.

Get Started provides those new to Fitness+ with a ready-made plan based on activities they selected when they first started their subscription or popular activities.

The Artist Spotlight series, which dedicates entire workout playlists to a single artist, features music from some of the world’s biggest artists, including Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, BTS, Selena Gomez, Coldplay, and more.

Time to Walk — Apple’s award-winning audio experience on iPhone and Apple Watch, designed to help people walk more often — allows users to walk alongside some of the world’s most interesting and influential people as they share stories, photos, and songs, including Cynthia Erivo, Daddy Yankee, Camila Cabello, Jane Fonda, Simu Liu, Shawn Mendes, and more. The latest episode, featuring Formula 1® driver Yuki Tsunoda, is available starting today.

Collections, a curated series of workouts and meditations from the Fitness+ library, are organised to help users reach their goals or find workouts that fit their interests, including Run Your First 5K, Pilates for More Than Your Core, No Shoes Workouts, So Fresh! 90s Dance, and more.

Users can explore 12 unique meditation themes, including Calm, Sleep, and Sound, featuring easy-to-follow techniques that can help them recharge, better connect with themselves and others, and have more mindful moments throughout their day.

Apple Fitness+ is available as a subscription service for INR149 per month or INR999 per year, and can be shared with up to five other family members.

Fitness+ is available today in Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, France, Germany, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Switzerland, the UAE, the UK, and the U.S. The service will be available in Chile, Hong Kong, India, the Netherlands, Norway, the Philippines, Poland, Singapore, Sweden, Taiwan, Vietnam, and 17 other countries and regions beginning December 15
