With everyone stuck at home binge watching Netflix and eating Doritos, maybe a few wellness apps are a good idea. Well, for those of you who own select 2018 and 2019 Samsung Smart TVs, you’re about to get some new wellness apps you can enjoy at home.
Samsung’s Smart TVs in a variety of regions around the world will have access to six new health and wellness apps in partnership with fitness brands – barre3, Calm, Echelon, Fitplan, Jillian Michaels Fitness, and obé Fitness. With homebound consumers needing fitness solutions, Samsung and its partners are bringing consumers early access to over 5,000 hours of free at-home wellness apps and content right now.
“As our community grapples with unprecedented disruptions to their daily routines, it is important for homebound consumers to have access to free high-quality health and wellness offerings,” said Salek Brodsky, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships and Business Development for Samsung Electronics. “Our partnership with these premium brands redefines the boundaries of what free streaming services can provide, and we look forward to enhancing these offerings by bringing a full Samsung Health experience to our TVs later this year.”
