Since you need an iPhone to set up an Apple Watch, you\u2019d have to own two Apple devices to join Fitness Plus. But with Apple bringing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/6\/6\/23156746\/apple-fitness-app-ios-16-watch-wwdc\">Fitness app to the iPhone with iOS 16, no Apple Watch required<\/a>, it makes sense that Apple would make Fitness Plus more easily accessible as well. <\/p>\n<p id=\"xxryzV\">The update removing the Apple Watch requirement for Fitness Plus signups will be available later this fall, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/newsroom\/2022\/09\/apple-fitness-plus-available-to-all-iphone-users-in-21-countries-later-this-fall\/\">Apple says<\/a>. I\u2019m a happy subscriber to the service \u2014 I particularly like the Fitness Plus yoga workouts, which are great for a beginner like me \u2014 and I\u2019m glad to see Apple is working to make Fitness Plus easier to get started with. Fitness Plus costs $9.99 per month, and you can also get it as part of the $29.95 per month Apple One Premier plan. <\/p>\n<p id=\"lJ0Gco\">On Wednesday, Apple also announced some new content coming to the Fitness Plus service and a new yoga trainer, Dice Iida-Klein, who will replace trainer Dustin Brown following his departure announced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2022\/09\/05\/two-apple-fitness-trainers-announce-departure\/\">earlier this week<\/a>. (Dustin, if you\u2019re reading this, thanks for the workouts.)<\/p>\n<aside id=\"vbgSBQ\">\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p><code><br \/><\/br><\/code><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/9\/7\/23341580\/apple-fitness-plus-iphone-apple-watch-sign-up-subscribe\">https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/9\/7\/23341580\/apple-fitness-plus-iphone-apple-watch-sign-up-subscribe<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Apple announced on Wednesday that iPhone users will be able to subscribe to its premium Fitness Plus workout subscription service even if they don\u2019t have an Apple Watch.
