The service launches with what Apple calls 10 of the most popular workout types, including High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), Strength, Yoga, Dance, Core, Cycling, Treadmill (for running and walking), Rowing, and Mindful Cooldown.
The metrics gathered by your Apple Watch are dynamically integrated into the workout, with key stats being shown on screen, and with animations showing up to motivate and engage you in key moments.
