The one feature Apple Fitness Plus was missing is finally here. Here’s everything you need to know about Gym Strength
The lowdown on the new Apple Fitness Plus Gym Strength plans
Apple has recently introduced a new feature to its Fitness Plus subscription service called Gym Strength. This personalized four-week training plan moves away from group classes and focuses on helping users achieve their individual fitness goals. The system works with both commercial gyms and minimal home equipment. To begin, users answer questions about their experience with strength training, goals, target body areas, workout days, and available equipment. The algorithm then creates a plan tailored to their needs.
During the workouts, users can choose to enable Apple Intelligence-powered training notes, which summarize progress and provide an overview of how the workout helps reach goals. Each exercise is demonstrated by a Fitness Plus trainer on iPhone or iPad, allowing users to view three different angles. The exercises include recommended sets, reps, and load based on the user's past performance and desired outcomes. Users can swap exercises or equipment if needed, and a dynamic bar tracks progress throughout the workout.
Apple Watch users can follow along with their workout, seeing exercises, reps, load, heart rate data, and calories burned. The plan adapts to the user's progress, estimating load suggestions for new exercises and notifying when it's time to increase weights based on past performances. Users are excited to try out the new Gym Strength plans in the coming weeks.
