Apple has leveraged AI to launch its Fitness+ service in 28 new countries, constituting the service's largest expansion since its debut around five years ago.
Apple Fitness+ is coming to 28 new markets on December 15
Apple has just announced that its Fitness+ service will launch in 28 new markets, including Chile, Hong Kong, India, the Netherlands, Singapore, and Taiwan, on December 15, with a launch in Japan slated for early 2026. This expansion now increases the service's availability to a total of 49 markets.
As a refresher, the Apple Fitness+ is already available 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 US.
This is the service's largest expansion since its launch around 5 years ago, and was made possible by AI-powered voice dubbings:
"To help make Fitness+ even more welcoming to users around the world, the service is introducing digitally dubbed versions of workouts and meditations in Spanish and German, with Japanese dubbing to follow early next year alongside the availability of the service in Japan. The dubbed workouts and meditations feature a generated voice based on the actual voice of each of the 28 Fitness+ trainers."
For the benefit of those who might not be aware, Apple's Fitness+ service features workout-related programming, where episodes range from five to 45 minutes, on 12 different workout genres - including Strength, Yoga, HIIT, Pilates, Dance, Cycling, Kickboxing, and Meditation. Users can also create a personalized schedule for their workout routine.
Also, Apple Fitness+ will now feature a new K-pop music genre that will be available across all workout types, allowing users to exercise while grooving to global hits from top artists. K-Pop now supplements the service's already extensive music genres, which include Upbeat Anthems, Latest Hits, Hip-Hop/R&B, Latin Grooves, and more.
Do note that recent reports have indicated that Apple is working on merging its Health and Fitness offerings under its sprawling Services division in a bid to place wellness at the center of its growth strategy going forward.
Moreover, as we reported recently, the Cupertino giant is working to introduce a major revamp of its Health app with the iOS 27 update, seeking to offer personalized, AI-powered health coaching, with a curated list of helpful videos from health experts to explain various health conditions and offer guidance on lifestyle improvements. The service will also offer a nutrition tracking feature.
