Apple makes Fitness+ available to all iPhone users, announces new features

Apple's Fitness+ subscription service has been around for a while now, but it was only available to users owning an Apple Watch. Today, the company revealed that it's making its service available to all iPhone users starting this fall. It will launch in 21 countries at first with more to follow.

Along with the good news, Apple is kicking off the fourth season of Time to Walk on September 12. Your walks will be accompanied by Regina Hall, Latin Grammy winner Nicky Jam, and Emmy Award-winning performer Leslie Jordan.

Time to Run, on the other hand, is starting its second season with locations such as Yellowstone National Park, Mexico City and Queenstown in New Zealand. The Artist Spotlight series with workouts will include music from Mary J. Blige, The Rolling Stones and The Weeknd.

Back to the service availability itself, you will need an iPhone to sign up but can experience the whole catalog of features and workouts of Fitness+ using an iPad or even Apple TV.

Fitness+ gains a couple of new features with watchOS 9 and iOS 16. For instance, the app will give out awards to personal records, streaks or big milestones. Additionally, on watchOS 9, the workout screen gains additional information along with the trainer's coaching during the workout itself. More importantly, even if you don't have Apple TV, you can stream your workout using iPhone or iPad via AirPlay.
