Two joggers run along Albert Park Lake on an Autumn day with high-rise and apartment buildings in the city in the background on June 16, 2017 in Melbourne, Australia. There has been increased interest in the fire safety of Melbourne's high rise residential towers following the fatal Grenfell Tower fire in London on Wednesday. 17 people have been confirmed dead following the London blaze, with initial investigations suggesting that flammable cladding on the outside of the building contributed to the rapid spread of the blaze. Similar cladding was found to have been to blame for a similar blaze in Melbourne's Lacrosse building in 2014.
What's great about this app is its Apple Watch's personalized interactive experience. According to Tatler's latest report, the app's pre-ordered fitness videos are accessible via an iPad, iPhone, or on Apple TV.
You can use these as a guide as you're working out your physical metrics. These include calories burned and heart rate. They will also be displayed live on the device's screen and will be monitored by the Apple watch.
Apple devices compatible with the Fitness+ app
The compatible gadgets are the Apple Watch and any Apple device that you can use to watch and display the videos. You can either use an iPhone, an Apple TV, or an iPad.

They will also appear on the screen you're watching, helping you to avoid glancing down at your watch to see how close you are to your targets.
