Often in our reviews the question is “Is this thing good?”, but for the Apple Fitness+ review the real question becomes “Who is it good for?”. Four Verge staffers spent months exercising with Apple’s latest service to see how it compares to others like Peloton and if it’s worth your money.

What tech do you use for your workout?
I only bike ride so this service is not for me I use Samsung health app it’s free and you don’t need a watch and yes it works on i0s
Excellent, thank you, very helpful.
A Fran walking tour of New York would be hilariously depressing ?
I signed up for Apple Fitness+ and really like it. I do treadmill, HIIT, and am about to buy a rowing machine. I like the way it game-ifies my fitness time, and I am try to complete all the treadmill workouts, which might take me another year. Definitely good, if you’ve got Apple devices.
No Apple TV ? Plug your iPhone into your tv/monitor
So its basically just videos of someone working out that your suppose to follow and copy. That you can find for free on youtube….
What is a peloton?
Love how the video was created.
You have to sink a lot of money into a Peloton, whereas Apple Fitness+ has a lower cost of entry because it uses a lot of the devices you already have. Apple Fitness+ seems more for the everyday folks that have an iPhone (who doesn’t?) and an Apple Watch that want to be more healthy. ?♂️
I know this is old, but worth a mention that the Apple Watch isn’t required for most workouts. You just don’t get the integrated metrics.
Get it the point
Just use AirPlay to stream to your MacBook if your screen is so small.
Why would one not just answer the call on their watch? Why switch to the phone if the watch can take it?
That’s the same price as planet fitness
I haven’t tried this yet but I have an Apple Watch, iPad Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, air pods and iMac so I have the ecosystem. I am looking to trial this so I can give up my gym membership.
“Because I’m a month long peloton user…”
I am working on my own On Demand Fitness Platform now so I am checking on competition 🙂 Great video! Thanks
It is available through a MacBook, just AirPlay to it.
Little update on this but you can now stream from your macbook by using airplay on your phone. Still a little clunky. You should be able to download the app to your macbook directly
Alternate title: Peloton Commercial
I love Fitness+
Great review
