How to disable Trainer Tips on Apple Fitness Summary tab

IOS added extremely annoying Trainer Tips to the Fitness Summary tab. If I want to see garbage ads, I’ll go to the Fitness+ tab. HINT: I don’t and won’t.

Idris, thanks for posting the link. I sent the following feedback, “Make display of the extremely annoying Trainer Tips on the Fitness Summary tab and opt-in feature or at the very least, an opt-out. I despise this and other intrusions by Apple on what should be my personal space.”

I guess we’ve found the person who thought up this worthless irritating “addition” to a previously useful app


this worthless addition ISNT like a fitness trainer we’ve hired, its like an irritating and unskilled pest who keeps interrupting your time at gym with bad suggestions.


yes we can always leave apple products behind. Probably will if Apple cares so little for customers

I don't need the ability to have voicemail on my phone and yet, there it is.

Yes, but this is positioned like a notification in the middle of the fitnes app. It even as a person's face on the left, so it grabs your attention like in WhatsApp or a similar messaging app.


You can turn notifications off all across the phone with much precision, and you should be able to turn this "fitness tip" notification off also. Even worse, once you watch the video the notification doesn't disappear, but stays there, right in the middle of the main fitness screen.


I agree with others in that I find the workout app a nice "internal space", where I can think about myself and not be bugged by ads and notifications. Having someone's face and name is super annoying. Will submit feedback also. (I suspect this will go the way of "clippy" the helpful paperclip in Office apps!)

The Workout App is our tool and not a vehicle for Apple to push content, quasi advertising content. That ruins my feng shui.

Who wrote the Workout app? Who owns the rights to the code? Who owns the right to make changes to it as they wish? Is that you? Or Apple? If you don't like it, you are free to use something else. You are also free to give feedback to Apple:

Training tips hardly seem like advertising to me. They seem like part of fitness. If I pay a personal trainer, they don't just tell me what exercises to do, they also give me suggestions on how to improve form, maybe improve my diet.

Training tips are ads for Fitness+. The fact they are 30-second videos makes it clear to me.

Have you looked at any of them? A recent tip, "3 steps to better squats" gave form tips for squats. The only mention of Fitness + was when the instructor introduced herself as "a Fitness+ instructor". All of the others I've watched have been similar. No pushing of Fitness+.
