苹果公司推出锻炼健身服务:集成多种功能

苹果公司推出锻炼健身服务:集成多种功能

AARON PRESSMAN 2020-12-16
对苹果粉丝们来说是一个相当不错的选择。

苹果公司(Apple)新推出锻炼健身视频服务Fitness+,与其它基于应用程序的锻炼程序非常相似。视频内容丰富,身材健美且充满热情的教练带领用户完成一系列健身课程,包括瑜伽、跑步机跑步、室内划船。

尽管Fitness+不如健身专家们使用的许多竞争对手的应用程序完善,但它与苹果公司的其它应用程序和设备深度集成,对苹果粉丝们来说是一个相当不错的选择。事实上,你须通过Apple Watch注册该服务,还须用iPhone、iPad或Apple TV机顶盒观看这些视频。

成为狂热的Apple Watch用户,这听起来不错。但这些设备的要求与Sweat 和Fitbod等其他同类应用程序有所不同,这些应用程序不需要使用Apple Watch,通常与各种可穿戴设备兼容。

经过一天Fitness+测试,我发现视频很有价值,音乐选择多样,但都是一流的,而且教练也充满活力。健身课程有10种,每一种都配有大量视频,而且,每周都会添加许多新的视频。

使用室内自行车或跑步机等健身器材时,最好用手机或平板电脑观看视频。但我最喜欢跟着电视大屏幕进行锻炼。

我喜欢Fitness+的另一个原因是,苹果Fitness+让不同的健身教练充分彰显自己的个性。在高强度锻炼课程中,我们紧随瑞克•詹姆斯和Devo 乐队80年代的经典音乐节拍挥汗如雨,巴卡里则始终面带笑容。而指导同类课程的金姆则看起来有点严厉,她更喜欢KDA和杰克斯•琼斯的流行曲调。在健身结束前的 “放松课程”中,杰西卡表现得充满热情且鼓舞人心。

Fitness+应用程序分别为各个教练分配了不同的版面,其中列有他们的个人介绍、视频列表以及Instagram账户链接(否则我怎么也不会想到力量训练和核心肌群训练教练阿米尔曾是加州大学洛杉矶分校(加州大学洛杉矶分校)足球队的进攻前锋)。

正如我提到的,Fitness+与苹果公司的各种设备深度集成。观看视频时,你可以用Apple Watch开始、暂停或结束视频。您还可以将Fitness+视频中的任何歌曲添加到你的Apple Music应用程序播放列表中。Fitness+用户不仅可以在自己的Apple TV上观看视频,还可以在任何Apple TV上观看视频(只需安装最新软件)。该设备登录到Fitness+用户账号,不会留下任何数据痕迹。如果我在新冠疫情结束后去旅行,那会很方便。

苹果公司推出的Fitness +尽管有这些优点,但似乎最适合初学者和中级锻炼者,不适合更高阶用户。视频仅包括“纯粹初学者”或一般视频内容,不提供“双黑钻训练”内容。与Peloton和诺迪克(NordicTrack)等健身器材制造商提供的热门服务不同,Fitness+应用程序无法从你正在使用的健身器材上获取你的锻炼指标。它只能跟踪来自Apple Watch的心率数据,并计算消耗的卡路里(Apple Watch本身可跟踪一些其他指标,如步数和血氧水平,但这些数值无法与Fitness+应用程序共享)。

苹果公司推出的该服务也不能追踪或计算你的锻炼进度。但我安装的Strava跑步和骑行应用程序有各种各样的锻炼跟踪工具,如每天的健身评分和每周强度测量。它会根据我的表现、自觉运动强度和心率来计算这些指标。相比之下,Fitness+会将所有锻炼结果传输至苹果公司的旧版日常健身目标跟踪系统,除此之外,它不会提供其它建议。

该服务在提供锻炼建议方面反而更像是一个流媒体音乐应用程序。你以前喜欢什么歌,我是说锻炼时?我们再试试这些功能。

一些竞争对手的服务会根据用户的实际锻炼效果提供更为成熟的建议。苹果公司称,如果你经常进行同样的活动,Fitness+会向你推荐其他类型的活动(一直在划船?也许是时候尝试一下瑜伽)。

Fitness+的每月订阅费仅10美元,或每年仅80美元,最多可由6个家庭成员共享。定价比许多竞争对手的应用程序都便宜,尽管如此,Fitness +仍不太完善。

Apple Watch老用户可以免费使用一个月Fitness+,而Apple Watch新用户则可以免费使用三个月Fitness+。一些健身房还将免费Fitness+与其会员资格捆绑在一起,让你开启“终生健身房”之旅。苹果公司推出的超级捆绑包Apple One Premier计划每月收费30美元,也包含该项服务,此外,还包括Apple Music、Apple TV+和其他服务。

这可能是最早期的Fitness+用户。许多一直不注重健身的人可能仅仅通过报名需要额外云存储空间的Premier计划或者通过更成熟的音乐和电视服务来进行健身。

Fitness+非常适合那些在新冠疫情期间身体状况突然变差后重新开始锻炼的人们,或者首次尝试锻炼的人们(只要有Apple Watch)。(财富中文网)

Apple's new workout video service, called Fitness+, is a lot like other app-based exercise programs. It includes a wealth of videos led by fit and enthusiastic instructors who guide users through activities like yoga, treadmill running, and indoor rowing.

But while Fitness+ is less sophisticated than many rival apps used by workout mavens, deep integration with Apple's other apps and devices makes it a solid choice for the company's fans. In fact, you must own an Apple Watch to sign up for the service and an iPhone, iPad, or anApple TV set-top box to review the videos.

As an avid Apple Watch user, that sounded fine with me. But the device requirements are a departure from competing apps, like Sweat and Fitbod, which don't require an Apple Watch and are often compatible with a variety of wearables.

In testing Fitness+ over one day, I found the video production values high, the music choices varied but all first rate, and the instructors to have energy to spare. There's also a large selection of videos in each of the 10 workout categories–with more added every week.

Watching the videos on a phone or tablet works best when using exercise equipment like an indoor bike or treadmill. But I enjoyed my free standing workouts most when following them on a big TV screen.

Another element I liked was that Apple let the personalities of the various exercise leaders shine through. In a high-intensity workout, Bakari was all smiles as we sweated to the beat of 80s classics from Rick James and Devo. Meanwhile, Kim, teaching in the same category, seemed a little tougher and she preferred more current tunes from KDA and Jax Jones. In a "mindful cooldown" to end my fitness fest, Jessica was warm and encouraging.

Each instructor has their own page in the Fitness+ app that features a mini biography about them, a list of their videos, and a link to their Instagram accounts (otherwise I never would have guessed that strength and core training leader Amir played offensive lineman in at UCLA).

And Fitness+ is, as I mentioned, deeply integrated with Apple's devices. When watching a video, you can start, pause, or end it from your Apple Watch. You can also add any song from a video in Fitness+ to your Apple Music app playlists. And Fitness+ users can watch videos not just on their own Apple TV, but any Apple TV (as long as its running the latest software). The device logs into the Fitness+ user's account and doesn't leave any data trail behind. That could be handy if I travel after the pandemic is over.

Despite all those benefits, the Apple Fitness + seems best suited for beginners and intermediate exercisers, and not more advanced users. Videos are classified only as "absolute beginner" or just typical. There are no double black diamond workouts here. And unlike popular services from exercise-equipment makers like Peloton and NordicTrack, there's no way for the Fitness+ app to get performance readouts from the machines you're working out on. It only tracks heart rate data from the Apple Watch and makes its own calorie burning calculations (the Apple Watch on its own tracks some other metrics like step counts and blood-oxygen levels but those aren't connected to the Fitness+ app).

Apple's service also doesn't track or calculate any progression on your journey to becoming more fit. My Strava app for running and biking, for example, has all sorts of training trackers like a daily fitness score and a weekly intensity measure. It uses my performance, perceived exertion tracking, and heart rate over time to calculate those. In contrast, Fitness+ reports all workouts to Apple's old ring-based daily fitness goal tracker, but it fails to offer much advice beyond that.

Instead, the service recommends workout more like a streaming music app. What songs, I mean workouts, did you like in the past? Let's try some more of those.

Some rival services offer more sophisticated suggestions based on users' actual performance in their exercises. Apple says Fitness+ will try to recommend other kinds of exercises if you're piling up workouts that are too similar (all rowing all the time? Maybe it's time to try some yoga).

A subscription to Fitness+ alone costs $10 monthly or $80 for annually, and it can be shared among up to six family members. That's cheaper than many rival apps, though as mentioned, Fitness + isn't as sophisticated.

Anyone who already has an Apple Watch can get one month of Fitness+ for free and new Apple Watch buyers get three months free. Some gyms are also bundling Fitness+ free with their memberships, starting with Life Time Gyms. And the exercise service is also included in Apple's mega-bundle, the Apple One Premier plan, which costs $30 monthly and also includes Apple Music, Apple TV+, and other services.

And that may be the most logical source of early Fitness+ users. Many people who haven't been focused on fitness may get it merely by signing up for the premier plan needing extra the cloud storage space or seeking the more established music and TV services.

Fitness+ is perfect for people getting back into workouts after slumping off during the pandemic or deciding to dabble for the first time—as long as they own an Apple Watch, that is.
