Why Apple Fitness+ Pickleball Workouts Fall Short

Apple Fitness+ Adds Pickleball Workouts – Are They Enough?

Apple Fitness+ has introduced Pickleball-specific workouts, and while this is a great step forward for the growing community of pickleball players, it’s worth digging into what these sessions really offer.

After a thorough review from AIM7’s performance team, here’s inside scoop!

• A Good Start for Pickleball Players: It’s great to see Apple highlighting pickleball workouts! Resistance training is crucial for staying healthy and improving performance on the court.

• Too Short to Make a Big Impact: The strength training sessions are only 10 minutes long. For most players, this is barely enough time to warm up, let alone see significant benefits. Unless you’re completely new to working out, 10 minutes won’t move the needle for real performance improvements.

• Health vs. Performance: While these workouts won’t hurt your health, they also won’t do much to build the power and explosiveness needed for better on-court performance. To truly improve, pickleball players need a more robust and targeted strength training routine.

If you’re serious about leveling up your pickleball game, these workouts might be a good starting point, but they’re not a substitute for a comprehensive fitness program!
