WOONSOCKET, R.I., Sept. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CVS Health
(NYSE:CVS) announced today it is offering special access for its
clients, customers and employees to Apple
Fitness+, the first fitness experience built for Apple
Watch, arriving later this year. CVS Health is developing a
one-year subscription offer for Aetna commercial and CVS Caremark
members and will share details soon. Additionally, a free two-month
subscription for Fitness+ will be
offered to CVS Pharmacy ExtraCare® members and all current CVS
Health employees when the service is launched.
Fitness+ intelligently
incorporates metrics from Apple Watch for users to visualize right
on their iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV, offering a first-of-its-kind
personalized workout experience. With Fitness+, everyone from beginners to fitness
enthusiasts can access studio-style workouts delivered by inspiring
world-class trainers underscored by motivating music from renowned
artists, making it easier and more rewarding for users to exercise,
whenever and wherever they like.
"Keeping people engaged and motivated on their path to better
health is at the core of our business, which is why we are
extending our collaboration with Apple to offer special access to
Fitness+ through all the ways we
connect with customers," said Jonathan
Mayhew, Executive Vice President and Chief Transformation
Officer for CVS Health. "Innovative fitness offerings like
Fitness+ are even more critical as
people strive to maintain their health during these challenging
times."
Today's announcement is a continuation of the relationship
between Aetna, a CVS Health company, and Apple that originated
in 2016 when 90 percent of participants in
their employee wellness subsidy program reported a
health benefit from their use of Apple Watch. In
2019, Aetna launched Attain, a unique health experience
designed by Aetna in collaboration with Apple. Attain
is a comprehensive integrated wellness program via
direct-to-member app that blends activity-driven incentives and
rewards with personalized health recommendations.
Following the launch of Fitness+
later this year, eligible CVS customers and employees will be
provided details on how to subscribe to Fitness+ and take advantage of the trial
offer.1 Eligible Aetna commercial and CVS Caremark
members will receive additional information when it is available.
Fitness+ requires Apple Watch
Series 3 or later paired with iPhone 6s or later or iPhone SE. One
offer per Apple ID. Participants will be able to share their
Fitness+ subscription with up to
five other people in their family with Family Sharing. For more
