Apple has also officially launched SharePlay so that you can work out with friends on Apple Fitness+ remotely. Jay Blahnik, Apple's vice president of Fitness Technologies, said that working out this way is "a really fun way to connect with friends and family, even trade some words of encouragement or friendly smack talk."

"We created Fitness+ so everyone would have a place they feel inspired and motivated, no matter where they are on their fitness journey. We are so excited to be available to millions more people as we bring Fitness+ to 15 new countries next week, and can't wait for them to meet our welcoming trainer team. We also think our users are going to love working out or meditating together with SharePlay. It's a really fun way to connect with friends and family, even trade some words of encouragement or friendly smack talk, while also making progress toward closing their rings."

Apple Fitness+ is available for $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year. It is also available as part of the Apple One Premier plan.
