Z100 Health – A Review of Apple’s Fitness Apps

Testers enjoyed the personal attention, great environment, and excellent trainers that Apple offers its testers. Music lovers will particularly appreciate Apple’s Artist Spotlight feature, which includes playlists from famous artists like Miley Cyrus, BTS, Shania Twain, and Mariah Carey for workout music playlists.

Members can collaborate with a Well-Being Coach via scheduled phone or video calls to achieve health goals and stay on the path toward wellness. Unfortunately, not all health plans offer these features.

Personalized Workouts

Contrary to many workout apps that provide fixed routines, this app enables users to tailor their routines based on their individual needs. It asks questions such as the weight they can lift for bicep curls before translating that information into an exercise program. Users also have access to select their fitness level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced) as well as equipment they may already possess at home or the gym.

This app offers a selection of workout videos organized according to the type and skill level of exercise, along with live-streamed classes, social community support, and motivational tools such as live streaming classes. Silver&Fit program health plans offer it free for members who belong.

Nutrition Coaching

Nutrition is at the core of good health. Although the fitness industry’s emphasis is often placed on exercise, diet is what really causes positive changes to one’s weight and overall wellness. A nutritional coach can assist clients in understanding their unique dietary needs as well as making informed decisions regarding food consumption – dispelling many myths associated with modern diet culture in this process.

Nutrition coaches’ role is to educate, motivate, and provide accountability for their clients by getting to know what drives each client individually and developing an individualized nutrition plan to support long-term healthy habits. In addition, emotional eating issues may play a factor in overeating, and they work with clients on finding solutions.

Nutrition coaches can assist in meal planning and determining the essential nutrients required for optimal performance, helping their clients meet their dietary goals, whether that means losing weight or building muscle. Their meals fuel workouts while supporting individual training goals while taking into account any health conditions or dietary restrictions they need to observe.

Based on your clientele, nutrition coaching could either be offered as an add-on service or independently from personal training. Either way, a set hourly rate must be established; giving away services for free would erode value and may compromise your fitness business.

Many renowned fitness organizations provide nutrition coaching certification programs. Some organizations, like ACE and NASM, include it as part of their broader fitness certifications, while the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) offers its standalone certification that is equivalent to their CSCS strength and conditioning courses.
