since earlier this year Spotify recently expanded into fitness, so Apple
might one-up its rival with live workouts Something is going on at Apple Fitness+, the tech giants flagship fitness service, and it could be hinting
at a new Peloton-style live workout hub.

A job listing posted by Apple advertises a Studio Producer role for Fitness+, implying theres about to be a new upgrade coming to the health service, which is asking for a candidate with a "strong foundation in live or live-to-tape multi-camera production and a genuine curiosity about where live content is headed next." Apple Fitness+ was introduced back in 2020, offering
subscribers a one-stop shop of on-demand workout videos run by in-house fitness experts, integrating real-time workout metrics from your Apple Watch
. Apple Fitness+ doesnt host live workouts with live leaderboards in the way that Peloton does, so an upgrade could give the service the new lease of life it needs. Latest Videos From TechRadar Watch full video here:

Despite its rich library of pre-recorded workout videos and guided meditations, Apple Fitness+ has been declining over the years. Earlier this year, we reported that Apple Fitness+ was under review , with the possibility of the firm merging with the existing Apple Health app to offer a combined subscription, but as it stands, the future of Apple Fitness+ is still undecided.

Bloombergs ($/) Mark Gurman said that "theres no telling what will end up happening," so not even seasoned leakers are able to predict where its going. A direct partnership with a fitness giant like Peloton hasnt been hinted at, but since Spotify recently ventured into the fitness world, Apple Fitness+ might have some fresh competition.

opportunity (Image credit: Future) A few weeks ago, Spotify expanded its services into fitness and I sat down with its developer , Austin Lamon, who described it as a natural extension of how people already use Spotify today. The new Fitness hub packs curated Running Mode playlists, as well as a
section packed with pre-recorded workout guides from Pelotons flagship personal trainers and its all included in the Premium plan on top of access to music, audiobooks, and podcasts.

Though Apple Fitness+ got there first with its own roster of on-demand
workout videos, Spotify has combined its Fitness hub with services that subscribers are already paying for, whereas Apples music and fitness
platforms are separate entities. And yes, Spotify is prone to a price hike every now and then, but its new fitness content doesnt come with any add-on costs.

The only thing that Spotify Fitness hasnt jumped on yet is the idea of
hosting its own live workouts, which opens a door for Apple Fitness+ to
snatch an opportunity. If Apple started pumping out its own Peloton-style
live workouts, it could give the service an edge over rivals and give iOS
fans a new reason to stay put. Perhaps we'll find out more during Apple's upcoming product launch in September? Follow TechRadar on Google News and add us as a preferred source to get our expert news, reviews, and opinion in your feeds.
