Apple Fitness+ Offers Multiple Paths to Free Access in 2024
Unlock guided workouts on your iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV without a monthly subscription through partnerships, promotions, and Apple’s bundled services.
As January unfolds, many are turning their attention to health and fitness goals. Apple is making it easier than ever to incorporate exercise into daily routines with Apple Fitness+, and surprisingly, there are numerous avenues to access the service completely free of charge.
Apple Fitness+ delivers guided video workouts accessible on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV for all fitness levels. While a subscription typically costs $9.99 per month, a growing number of options allow users to bypass that fee. According to one user, the service is a “hidden gem” within Apple’s offerings, praising the quality of trainers, high production values, and thoughtfully designed videos.
Diverse Workout Options for Every Lifestyle
Fitness+ caters to a wide range of preferences and schedules. Workouts range from as little as 5 minutes to 45 minutes, accommodating busy lifestyles. The platform supports a comprehensive array of workout types, including:
- Strength
- Core
- Meditation
- HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training)
- Yoga
- Pilates
- Treadmill
- Cycling
- Rowing
These workouts can be enjoyed both at home and in the gym, providing flexibility for users. While Apple Watch and AirPods Pro 3 offer enhanced features, neither is required to utilize the service.
How to Access Apple Fitness+ for Free
Several pathways exist to gain free access to Apple Fitness+:
- Anytime Fitness Membership: Members of Anytime Fitness receive complimentary access to Fitness+.
- Wellhub Users: Individuals with a Wellhub Basic plan or higher are also eligible for free access.
- New Device Purchase: New subscribers can enjoy three months of Fitness+ with the purchase of a new Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, AirPods Pro 3, or Powerbeats Pro 2.
- Family Sharing: If a member of your Family Sharing group subscribes to Fitness+, up to six users can access the service at no additional cost.
The Apple One Bundle: A Comprehensive Solution
For those who don’t qualify for the above offers, the Apple One bundle presents a compelling alternative. The Premier plan, in particular, includes Apple TV, Apple Music, iCloud+ with 2TB of storage, Apple News+, Apple Arcade, and Apple Fitness+.
If you’re already paying for multiple Apple services individually, upgrading to Apple One could unlock access to Fitness+ and other benefits at no extra cost.
