Apple Fitness+ Launches in Japan: A New Era of Digital Fitness
Apple has officially launched its acclaimed fitness and wellness service, Apple Fitness+, in Japan, marking a significant expansion of its global reach. This move introduces Japanese users to a comprehensive suite of guided workouts and meditations, seamlessly integrated with Apple devices.
Subscription Details and Free Trial Offers
Japanese users can now access Apple Fitness+ through the Fitness app on their iPhones. Apple is offering a one-month free trial to new subscribers. Post-trial, the service is priced at ¥980 per month or ¥7,800 annually. Notably, Japan does not have access to an Apple One Premier plan that includes Apple Fitness+, as Apple does not provide a Premier plan in the country.

Diverse Workout Options and Language Support
Apple Fitness+ offers 12 different workout types, including strength, yoga, HIIT, pilates, dance, cycling, kickboxing, and meditation. To cater to the Japanese audience, workouts and meditations are digitally dubbed with a generated voice in Japanese, with more dubbed episodes added on a weekly basis. Apple also provides workouts in English or with Spanish and German dubbing. Digital dubbing requires iOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1, and tvOS 26.1.
