Apple Fitness+ Eyes Live Peloton-Style Workouts

Apple Fitness+ may soon feature live workouts, similar to those offered by Peloton. Apple recently posted a job opening for a Studio Producer with expertise in live, multi-camera production, indicating a potential new direction for the fitness service.

Introduced in 2020, Apple Fitness+ currently provides on-demand workout videos integrated with Apple Watch metrics. Unlike Peloton, it does not offer live sessions with leaderboards. The service has been under review this year, with discussions about potentially merging it with the Apple Health app.

This development follows Spotify's recent expansion into fitness, which includes curated playlists and workout guides from Peloton trainers. While Spotify has integrated fitness into its existing Premium plan, Apple's music and fitness platforms remain separate. The introduction of live workouts could provide Apple Fitness+ with a competitive edge.
