The gym may no longer be the only place where you can get in shape. Apple is preparing new features for the iPhone and Apple Watch that could effectively turn these devices into personal trainers. They will be able to track your activity, assess your physical condition and tell you when it is time to work out – and when it is better to stop and rest.
The new Apple Watch Series 12 will continuously monitor your heart rate and use health, activity and sleep data to build a more complete picture of your physical condition. One of the new features will be an estimate of biological age, allowing users to compare their actual age with how “young” or “old” their body appears to be based on certain health indicators.
Every morning, the watch will be able to analyse recent physical activity, sleep and vital signs, then assess how ready the body is for physical strain throughout the day. This should help users understand when they can handle a proper workout and when it would be wiser to reduce the intensity and allow the body to recover.
But that is not where the role of these devices ends. Apple is developing artificial intelligence-powered features that will provide personalised recommendations for health and physical activity. In the future, the iPhone could become a kind of home fitness coach, suggesting exercises, monitoring how they are performed and assessing workout quality using the camera.
In other words, instead of a trainer at the gym, you could have a rather persistent digital coach that is always with you, knows how much you slept, how much you moved, how your heart rate is changing and, most importantly, can remind you that you have once again decided to “start on Monday”.
It looks like Apple is gradually turning the smartphone and smartwatch from ordinary gadgets into a system for constantly monitoring the user’s physical condition. All that is left is to wait for the feature that will automatically stop the fridge from opening during late-night raids.
