Jay Blahnik, Apple’s “fitness man”, toured the meals to promote the launch in 15 new countries of his Fitness + service, including France and Switzerland. In the Brazilian daily Globe, it suggests the possibility of recorded training in languages other than English.
This is a potential irritant for quite a few users: the Fitness + videos are only available in English with subtitles and Apple did not see fit to dub them. Blahnik believes that users are “delighted” to experience the service in the language spoken by the coach, they want to hear the intonations rather than a dub that would ring out of tune.
Despite everything, he says he is completely open to the idea of offering videos made by coaches of different languages: “ Our goal is to help people get in shape. We want to attract as many users as possible and make the experience as pleasant as possible “. Fitness + is less than a year old and the service will continue to evolve, ” in time, there will be a need for content [dans d’autres langues que l’anglais] He agrees.
The language barrier may indeed be an obstacle for some, even if most of the training sessions are followed without too much difficulty with subtitles.
