Fitness 4+

I just got a subscription to fitness plus for free for the next three months because of my recent Apple Watch purchase. I’ve done a couple of workouts in like the way that the results of your watch are displayed on the screen as you work out so you don’t have to keep looking down at your hand to see what’s going on. I do appreciate the accessibility of the workouts and the subtitles, I like cycle classes, but have a hard time going and studio because I can’t hear as well with all the auditory process, but the clear instructions and subtitles on Fitness+ help me work the app.

What I find frustrating is that there is no search bar in the example I live in an apartment and would like to look up low impact workouts that don’t involve jumping disturb my neighbors however, there is no way for me to look for this type of work out. I also wish that I could organize the workouts that I like they are all just in one big list and as I start to collect more workouts, this is going to become is going to be very helpful paired with my gym membership to keep me on track but these hiccups are making the app frustrating.

Could you please add a feature to adjust the playback speed of the dance videos? I like the routines, but they‘re just a little bit too fast for me. If I could reduce the speed by 10 to 20%, it would be a great improvement. I‘ve randomly found a few videos that allow you to reduce the playback speed by 50%, but that is way too much.
Another enhancement would be to add some workouts (strength, yoga) that are tailored for people with knee problems. There are a LOT of us out here who either already have or are in the process of ruining our knees. So, workouts without squats or lunges would be great.
I know the workouts for older adults at least show modifications, but there are only a few videos, and they are, in some aspects, not demanding enough. So, maybe you could create a set of workouts for people who are otherwise strong and in shape, but have to be very careful with their knees.
This is also one of the reasons it would be good to be able to slow down the dance videos. There can be a lot of torque applied to the knees when trying to turn and step quickly, especially if one is not yet familiar with the basic movement or sequence of movements. I am an ex-dancer, and if I am having problems doing this stuff safely, I’m pretty sure it’s a general problem.

This does not hold a candle to Garmin connect. There is no way to edit data of a completed workout. Example, you do an indoor track run so you select outdoor run because the indoor run assumes treadmill. (And it’s suggested in the apple forums to select outdoor run for indoor track runs) The gps data is all jacked up and gives inaccurate distance. Now your vo2max is all screwed up. You’d think you’d be able to just go into the workout and change the distance. Nope. Can’t do it. You can only delete it.
There is no suggested recovery. There is no workload. You can’t create your own workout like a run and lift. You have to add a new workout. What I mean is, there isn’t a way to set up a single workout that has two different types of workouts in it. Like I run, pause, then lift weights. You have to select run, then add a new workout and select lifting.
The starting and stopping or pausing of workouts isn’t the best. If you select any run, you better be prepared to run in the next 3 seconds. You can’t just hit a side button and start the run run that way. On my ultra, hitting the action button only starts the last type of workout. So if I hit that, I better be doing whatever the last workout is. Which I won’t be because I run then lift, again, two different types of workout.
I wanted to like this watch and fitness app. But it just isn’t anywhere near what Garmin does.
