Members of Anytime Fitness can also access Apple Fitness+ as a part of their membership, while those having a free trial of Anytime Fitness can access Fitness+ for two months for free.
In addition to the usual set of benefits and features, Apple Fitness+ users in Japan will have access to 12 workout and meditation types with Japanese audio and subtitles.
