Apple launches Fitness+ Gym Strength beta with adaptive workout plans
Apple has rolled out Gym Strength, a new beta feature within Apple Fitness+ that builds personalized, four-week strength training plans based on a user's goals, experience, schedule and available equipment. The program covers over 350 exercises across more than 30 types of equipment, offers trainer video demonstrations from multiple angles, and lets users log reps and weight via Apple Watch so future weeks adjust automatically.

The addition pushes Fitness+ deeper into strength training, an area long dominated by specialized gym apps, which could help Apple retain subscribers who split their routines between cardio and weightlifting. By supporting both commercial gyms and home setups with swappable exercises, Apple appears to be targeting a broader range of users and equipment scenarios than earlier Fitness+ offerings.
