Apple is exploring ways to turn its upcoming smart glasses and Vision headsets into health and fitness companions, according to Bloomberg. Cameras and sensors on the devices could eventually track movement, analyze workouts, and help users improve how they exercise.

A new job listing supports the report. Apple’s Vision Products Group is hiring a strategic product design leader to help “define the future of health, well-being and fitness experiences across vision products.” The posting also asks for experience building digital health products and sensor-driven features.

The idea is not new inside Apple. The company once developed a version of Fitness+ that would let people follow classes inside the original Vision Pro while body-tracking technology analyzed their movements. It never shipped, in part because the headset was too heavy to wear during most workouts.

A lighter pair of smart glasses would fit the concept better. Their cameras and sensors could monitor exercise form, count repetitions, track posture, or flag movements performed incorrectly. Apple has reportedly weighed glasses without cameras, plus a design where cameras understand surroundings without taking photos or recording video. That approach could still support movement tracking while easing privacy concerns.

Bloomberg does not expect these health features on the first generation, which could debut toward the end of 2027. Apple has already shown the direction with AirPods, which now track heart rate during workouts and offer hearing-health tools. Camera-equipped AirPods are reportedly next, using infrared sensors that give Siri spatial awareness without capturing regular photos.

The glasses push would extend health tracking beyond the wrist and ears, turning eyewear into Apple’s next wellness frontier.
