Apple’s Fitness + is Leveling Up in 2025

The tech giant is continuing to meaningfully invest in fitness this year, from strategic partnerships to new workouts

Apple Fitness+ is set to kick off 2025 with new ways to stay active and mindful. Starting Monday, January 6, the new Fitness+ experience will be available on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.

Progressive Strength Training

Fitness+ is debuting “Three Perfect Weeks of Strength,” a progressive strength training program. The three-week series that is designed to target all muscle groups includes 12 guided 30-minute workouts focused on specific techniques: progressive overload (week one), time under tension (week two) and dynamic power (week three).

Pickleball Training

In response to the explosive popularity of pickleball, Fitness+ introduced a “Strength, Endurance, and Agility for Pickleball” program. Led by world-ranked professional pickleball champion Catherine Parenteau, the program features exercises inspired by her personal training regimen.

Yoga Peak Poses

The new “Yoga Peak Poses” program offers a workshop-style experience for users looking to refine their skills and build confidence with popular poses such as dancer, twisted hand to big toe, and crow. Each session includes a 10-minute warm-up flow followed by a 10-minute focused practice on the peak pose, replicating the instruction of a yoga retreat.

Breath Meditation for Stress Relief

Fitness+ also introduced  “Introduction to Breath Meditation,” where users can choose from five 10-minute meditations, including techniques like belly, box and ocean breathing. The addition of Breath as a meditation theme brings the total number of themes to 12.

Artist Spotlight Returns

Fitness+ continues its popular “Artist Spotlight” series with workout playlists dedicated to music by stars Janet Jackson, Coldplay, Bruno Mars and Kendrick Lamar. Starting January 13, these playlists will enhance workouts across Cycling, HIIT, Strength and Dance.

New Episodes of Time to Walk

The award-winning “Time to Walk” series returns with episodes featuring notable figures like Adam Scott, Rita Ora, Daddy Yankee, Tiffany Haddish, and others. Starting January 13, users can walk alongside these stars as they share personal stories, photos and songs.

Special Dance Workout with Alex Wong

Professional dancer and “So You Think You Can Dance” alum Alex Wong joins Fitness+ as a guest trainer. Wong’s exclusive 20-minute Dance workout is a fun-first new workout for the new year.

Strava Collaboration & Integration

Fitness+ has teamed up with Strava to offer enhanced integration for users who share their workouts on the platform. Strava will now display detailed information about Fitness+ sessions, including episode titles, trainer names, and metrics. Strava subscribers can also enjoy a special trial offer of up to three free months of Fitness+, providing access to over 6,500 workouts and meditations. Athletes from the Strava community will also appear as guest trainers in Fitness+ workouts throughout the year.

Activity Ring Challenge for the New Year

Apple Watch users can start 2025 on a high note by earning a limited-edition award for closing all three activity rings for seven consecutive days in January.

Availability

Apple Fitness+ is available as a subscription for $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year, and it can be shared with up to five family members. It is included in the Apple One Premier plan, which also provides access to Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, and iCloud+ with 2TB of storage.
