UPDATE January 3, 2025
Apple Fitness+ kicks off the new year with its biggest lineup of programming, bringing users more ways to stay active and mindful in 2025. The service introduces a progressive strength training program designed to take the guesswork out of putting together the perfect routine, along with a conditioning program for pickleball — one of the world’s fastest-growing sports. A new workshop-style yoga program helps users improve their skills with popular peak poses, while a breath meditation program supports managing stress, boosting energy, and enhancing focus. The Artist Spotlight series features more of music’s biggest stars, including Janet Jackson, Coldplay, Bruno Mars, and Kendrick Lamar, while new Time to Walk episodes feature Adam Scott, Rita Ora, Daddy Yankee, Tiffany Haddish, and others. Alex Wong, celebrated choreographer and dancer, leads an exclusive dance workout takeover.
“Fitness+ is designed to support everyone’s unique fitness and wellness journey, providing welcoming and motivating workouts, meditations, and programs that make it easy to stay active and mindful,” said Jay Blahnik, Apple’s vice president of Fitness Technologies. “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, Fitness+ has something to inspire, motivate, and help everyone feel their best in 2025.”

Three Perfect Weeks of Strength

Introduction to Breath Meditation

The new Introduction to Breath Meditation program teaches powerful, easy-to-follow techniques for managing stress, boosting energy, and enhancing focus. Users can choose from five 10-minute meditations — like belly, box, and ocean breathing — to relax, recharge, or refocus. Additionally, Breath is now a theme within Fitness+, bringing the total to 12 unique meditation themes, including Calm, Sleep, and Sound. These themes make it even simpler for users to find meditation practices that suit their lifestyle.

Fitness+ Teams Up with Strava

Fitness+ is collaborating with Strava, the app for active people, to bring a new integration to the Strava experience, and a special offer to Strava subscribers. With the enhanced integration, when members share a Fitness+ workout to Strava, the Strava app will now display rich details — including the episode image, episode number, music genre, trainer name, and metrics — to track their fitness journey and share with their community on Strava. New and existing Strava subscribers can also redeem up to three months of Fitness+ at no cost, and take advantage of the largest library of 4K Ultra High Definition fitness and wellness content in the world, with over 6,500 workouts and meditations across 12 workout types to support their training.1 Additionally, celebrated athletes from the Strava community will join the Fitness+ trainer team as special guests in workouts throughout the year.
