Apple Fitness+ has welcomed in the New Year with a raft of extra workouts
In its now annual launch of new features, Apple Fitness+ has highlighted its collaboration with fitness app Strava, as well as adding strength, yoga, pickelball, and breath meditation sessions.
In January 2023, Apple Fitness+ added kickboxing, though the service was still being criticized for its lack of range. In January 2024, it added more workouts and meditation.
Now starting on January 6, 2025, Apple Fitness+ is starting what it claims is its biggest lineup of programming, “bringing users more ways to stay active and mindful.” There’s now a progressive strength training program, a conditioning program using pickleball, plus more celebrities in its Artist Spotlight and Time to Walk series.
“Fitness+ is designed to support everyone’s unique fitness and wellness journey,” said Jay Blahnik, Apple’s vice president of Fitness Technologies, “providing welcoming and motivating workouts, meditations, and programs that make it easy to stay active and mindful.”
“From workouts that can boost power and precision for pickleball, to breath meditations that help relieve stress, along with Artist Spotlight sessions featuring iconic hits, and an exciting collaboration with Strava,” continued Blahnik, “Fitness+ has something to inspire, motivate, and help everyone feel their best in 2025.”
The collaboration with Strava sees that fitness app gaining access to Apple Fitness+ data — ranging from session metrics to episode cover are. Athletes working for Strava will also guest present Apple Fitness+ workouts throughout the year.
Existing Strava subscribers also get up to three months of Apple’s service.
Highlights from Apple’s new sessions include choreographer Alex Wong’s 20-minute dance workout. From January 13, 2025, there’s also Adam Scott launching the new series of Time to Walk.
Apple Fitness+ is a paid workout subscription service that costs $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year. It is also included with the Premier tier of the Apple One subscription bundle.
