Apple Envisioned Its Fitness Service Long Before Work-from-home

Apple Inc's new paid online fitness class service was a long-planned extension of the watch's fitness features rather than a quick reaction to a pandemic that has closed many gyms. The Fitness+ service is Apple’s first subscription geared to make money directly from the sensor-packed device it has been selling since 2014.

It focuses on exercises that require little or no gym equipment, using Apple Watch sensors to track progress.
