Samsung has added six new fitness-focused apps to its Smart TV lineup. Calm, Echelon, Fitplan, Jillian Michaels Fitness, barre3, and obé Fitness apps are now available to download is select Samsung Smart TVs. Availability may vary by market, though.
Samsung says these fitness platforms will be integrated into the Samsung Health app for its Smart TVs later this year. The company is making the apps available to download independently early because many people currently stuck at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic need fitness solutions.
The new apps will bring over 5,000 hours of wellness content to Samsung’s Smart TV lineup. The company says more than 250 instructive fitness videos are currently available. They range from “barre classes and guided meditations, to celebrity-led personal training sessions.”
