"We're so excited to energize our customers with new ways to get active and stay active with Apple Watch," Jay Blahnik, Apple's senior director of fitness for Health Technologies, said in a statement. "With diverse studio workouts that are suitable for all ability levels ... as well as the flexibility to work out anywhere - there's something for everyone."
