Apple has officially brought Fitness Plus to India, marking its biggest international rollout of the service since it first debuted. Starting December 15, users in the country will be able to subscribe to the platform and access guided workouts, mindfulness tools, and personalised training options across various Apple devices. With India joining the list of supported regions, Apple is positioning Fitness Plus as a complete at-home fitness companion for its ecosystem users.
What Is Apple Fitness Plus?
Fitness Plus is Apple’s subscription-based workout platform designed exclusively for people who use iOS and Apple hardware. The service ties directly into the Apple ecosystem, allowing users to see real-time workout metrics—such as heart rate, calories burned, and overall progress—on devices like the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and even audio products like AirPods Pro 3.
The goal is to recreate a studio-style workout environment at home or while travelling, powered by Apple’s workout intelligence technology. Each session syncs seamlessly with the Apple Watch, making the experience highly personalised and responsive.
Workout Categories and Training Options
Fitness Plus offers a broad set of training styles, making it suitable for beginners and seasoned fitness enthusiasts alike. Users can choose from twelve workout formats, which include strength routines, high-intensity intervals, yoga flows, dance workouts, pilates sessions, cycling, kickboxing, core exercises, treadmill-based walking or running, rowing, and meditation.
Session durations range from 5 minutes to 45 minutes, giving subscribers the flexibility to fit workouts into busy schedules. There’s also a feature that lets users create custom weekly plans, where they can pick preferred trainers, workout styles, and even music themes.
Music and the Artist Spotlight Experience
Music plays a central role in the Fitness Plus atmosphere. Apple incorporates curated playlists from Apple Music, offering genres such as upbeat pop, hip-hop/R&B, Latin mixes, and a special K-Pop collection.
Apple also extends its Artist Spotlight series to the platform in India. These themed sessions highlight popular global performers including Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, BTS, Selena Gomez, and Coldplay, giving workouts a more immersive feel.
Motivation and Mindfulness Features
Fitness Plus isn’t limited to physical exercise. Apple includes several tools aimed at helping subscribers build consistency and improve overall wellness. Users get access to beginner-friendly programs, audio stories through Time to Walk, and curated workout collections like Run Your First 5K and Pilates for More Than Your Core.
For mental well-being, the service offers a range of meditation sessions covering twelve themes, focusing on relaxation, stress reduction, and mindful living.

Apple is introducing Fitness Plus in India at two pricing tiers:
