I’ve been using Fitbit trackers for quite some time, starting with the Mi Band 7 from Bangkok followed by Fitbit Inspire 2 and later upgrading to the Inspire 3. I’ve also tried the Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro, so I’ve had my fair share of experimenting with different wearables.

One thing I always liked about Fitbit was its simple app and the guided workout videos that came with Fitbit Premium. Having a coach walk you through a workout made exercising more engaging, and it was nice to see my progress over time.

But things have changed.

I’m now using an iPhone 15 Pro alongside an Apple Watch, and I’m enjoying the Apple ecosystem. My biggest complaint? The battery life on the Apple Watch. Coming from fitness trackers that can last several days, charging a watch so frequently takes some getting used to.

Then something clicked.

Apple Fitness+ Is Basically What I Liked About Fitbit Premium

I realised that Apple Fitness+ offers something quite similar to what I enjoyed about Fitbit Premium: guided workouts, trainers, and a way to bring more structure into my exercise routine.

With Fitbit, I even got a year of Premium included with my device, which gave me plenty of time to try its features.

Now I’m wondering why I shouldn’t give Apple’s version a proper chance.

Closing My Rings and Building a Routine

One of the things I genuinely enjoy about the Apple Watch is its Activity Rings system.

I’ll admit that I’ve fallen behind on closing my rings lately. Life happens, motivation comes and goes, and it’s easy to lose momentum when exercise isn’t part of your daily routine.

But I like the social side of Apple’s fitness features. Sharing activity with friends adds a little community element, and those friendly comparisons can be surprisingly motivating.

I’m already doing CrossFit, so I’m not starting from zero. The question is whether adding Apple Fitness+ workouts will help me become more consistent and make exercise a bigger part of my everyday life.

I like the idea of having guided sessions ready whenever I need them, rather than having to figure out what to do on my own.

Is Apple Fitness+ Worth the Money?

I’m starting with the one-month free trial to see how it goes.

At around $10 a month in the US, it’s not exactly pocket change, but it’s also not a deal-breaker if I end up using it regularly. Pricing can vary by country, so I’ll have to see what applies to my account.

I’ve started taking my health more seriously since the beginning of 2026, and that’s something I intend to continue. If a fitness subscription helps me stay active, build better habits, and enjoy exercising more, then it could be money well spent.

Of course, there’s no point paying for another subscription if I barely use it. The trial should give me a better idea of whether it fits into my routine.

What’s Next?

I enjoy trying different wearables and switching between Android and iOS devices. It’s one of the things that keeps technology interesting for me.

I’ve experienced Fitbit, tried Huawei, and now I’m spending more time with Apple’s ecosystem. Each has its strengths and weaknesses, and I’m curious to see how Apple Fitness+ compares with what I was used to.

For now, I’m giving it a month and seeing where it takes me.

Will it help me close those rings more consistently? Will I actually stick with the workouts? And will I find enough value to justify another monthly subscription?

Let’s find out.

I’ll share my experience once I’ve had enough time to give it a fair shot.
