Apple’s Connectivity, Fitness And Services

No iPhone 12 – but pretty much everything else.

The question for Apple is: Will the slew of offerings announced this week be enough to bring new users into its ever-expanding ecosystem, and also keep current consumers, well, consuming?

On Tuesday (Sept. 15), Apple unveiled a slew of watches and services in a bid to give a tailwind to hardware sales and boost its services business.

We saw announcements tied to the Apple Watch Series 6, the Apple Watch SE, bundles tied to Apple One and the Apple Fitness+.

At a high level, the Apple event underscored the convergence of devices and a wide range of services to be consumed over those devices – centering in this case on health, music and connectivity in general (and some operating system updates).

Perhaps no surprise, in the age of the pandemic, is the health pitch.

Core Change fitness studio still adapting since reopening

“There is so much more than fighting this one virus. We need to pay attention to it, but need to think about things to improve our overall lives.”

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — While many small businesses have slowly been reopening over the last few months, it’s still a tough road ahead.

Fitness studios are one group of businesses that are still adapting to the new regulations and change of pace.

Inside the Core Change’s Bearden studio, the whir of music and machines is an encouraging sound for owner Lacey Robinette.

“It’s definitely been tricky, opening a small business then only having six months to get it off the ground, then being shut down completely. We have certainly felt the impact,” Robinette said.

She’s one of many small business owners trying to get back on their feet during the coronavirus pandemic.

“There’s obviously a lot of nervousness and unknown around COVID and

Amazon Launches Health-And-Fitness Tracker 08/28/2020

Jumping into the wearable
marketplace, Amazon just debuted Halo a health and fitness tracker with some features that could set it apart from market leaders, like Apple and Fitbit.

Unlike Apple Watch, Halo
doesn’t include a video screen, receive phone calls, or perform other functions more commonly associated with smartwatches.

Rather, Halo serves solely as a means of
monitoring one’s physical movements, sleep schedule, body fat percentage, and voice patterns in order to help consumers gain a clearer picture of their health.

Halo real strength
comes from Amazon’s expertise in artificial intelligence and machine learning, according to Dr. Maulik Majmudar, Principal Medical Officer at Amazon Halo.

“Health is much more than
just the number of steps you take in a day or how many hours you sleep,” stated. “Amazon Halo combines the latest medical science, highly accurate data via the Halo Band sensors, and
cutting-edge artificial intelligence to offer a

State’s medical executive says no decision yet on reopening Michigan fitness centers

Michigan’s Chief Medical Executive Dr. Joneigh Khaldun said Tuesday that no decision has been made about reopening fitness centers even as an association representing the still-shuttered businesses postponed a Tuesday protest of the closures in anticipation of a “celebration.”

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s office on Tuesday would not confirm or deny reports that Whitmer planned to announce the reopening of gyms, movie theaters and bowling alleys before Labor Day.

“I don’t think the governor has made any decisions there yet,” Khaldun said. “I can tell you the virus has not changed at all. There’s still no

Hilary Duff’s fitness plan reveals why counting macros works

Stephanie Nuzzo was inspired when actress Hilary Duff shared her iso fitness regimen – and when she tried it herself, the flexibility and structured routine left her feeling better than ever.

I don’t know about you guys, but 2020 has thrown a wrench into my fitness plans. Back in February, I was feeling great. I was training regularly; building strength—all that jazz.

Then COVID happened, and my gym days stopped. While I recognise that a dip in fitness is nothing compared to the tragic circumstances people are living through right now, it was a part of my life that changed. And finding an alternative regime that gives me the same mental and physical satisfaction has been tricky.

For context, I was living in New York when corona kicked off. As a result, I was stuck in my apartment for four months. Space was limited, and there was nary a dumbbell

Boulevard Fitness in University Heights temporarily closes after long defiance of health orders

SAN DIEGO — A University Heights gym that remained open for months in defiance of county public health orders related to the COVID-19 pandemic has temporarily closed, citing the financial burden of mounting, potential fines from the city.

Boulevard Fitness announced to its members in an email dated Wednesday that it would shutter its doors for the foreseeable future, but is working to get in compliance with the county in order to reopen soon.

A letter sent to the gym this week by the San Diego City Attorney’s Office states that the gym was out of compliance for more than 45 days, and that it could be subject to fines of $2,500 per day for each health order violation, in addition to being ordered to close.

A City Attorney’s Office spokeswoman said the case was referred to the office following several warnings and citations from the county that were ignored,
