Apple Fitness+
In 2025, Apple Fitness+ presents an intriguing array of fresh approaches to maintaining an active and mindful lifestyle. New strength, pickleball, yoga, and breath meditation programs are available, along with a new partnership with Strava.
With its most extensive programming roster, Apple Fitness+ begins the new year by giving customers more options for being active and mindful in 2025. The service offers a conditioning program for pickleball, one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, as well as a progressive strength training program that eliminates the uncertainty involved in creating the ideal routine. While a breath meditation program aids stress management, energy enhancement, and attention improvement, a new workshop-style yoga software helps users hone their abilities in famous peak poses.
On Monday, January 6, the new material will be accessible on Apple TV, iPad, and iPhone. Additionally, with real-time analytics to monitor progress, users may enhance their experience and add an additional layer of motivation using the Apple Watch. Celebrity athletes from the Strava community will be featured as guests in workouts as part of Fitness+’s partnership with Strava, which also includes a new connection to the Strava app experience and a special Apple Fitness+ trial offer for Strava users.
According to Jay Blahnik, Apple’s vice president of Fitness Technologies, “Apple Fitness+ is made to support everyone’s unique fitness and wellness journey by offering friendly and inspiring workouts, meditations, and programs that make it easy to stay active and mindful.” “Fitness+ has something to inspire, motivate, and help everyone feel their best in 2025, from workouts that can boost power and precision for pickleball to stress-relieving breath meditations, along with Artist Spotlight sessions featuring iconic hits and an exciting collaboration with Strava.”
Three Exceptional Weeks of Power
With an emphasis on efficiency, Apple Fitness+ introduces a brand-new progressive strength program that walks users through the process of developing and preserving strength. The 12-minute workouts in the three-week guided program Progressive Overload, Time Under Tension, and Dynamic Power target each of the major muscle groups. Users may return to this fundamental training regimen, which is designed for results and consistency, changing the weights as they get stronger.
Pickleball Power, Endurance, Agility
Pickleball is a fast-growing sport globally. World-ranked singles and doubles player Catherine Parenteau appears in Pickleball Strength, Endurance, and Agility. In order to make participants feel secure and provide their best on the court, the program consists of a variety of workouts that were influenced by Parenteau’s personal training routine.
Peak Pose Yoga
With a focus on form and instruction usually seen in a one-on-one session, Yoga Peak Pose offers users an intimate workshop-style experience right where they are. In order to provide participants targeted time and instruction to develop confidence and expertise, each session focusses on a specific peak posture, such as Dancer, Twisted Hand to Big Toe, and Crow. Users may warm up for the matching 10-minute practice session with a 10-minute prep flow for each position.
Overview of Breath Meditation
The brand-new Introduction to Breath Meditation course offers effective, simple methods for increasing energy, improving attention, and controlling stress. Five 10-minute meditations, such as belly, box, and ocean breathing, are available for users to pick from in order to unwind, rejuvenate, or concentrate. There are now 12 distinct meditation themes in Apple Fitness+, including Calm, Sleep, and Sound. Breath is also now a theme. Users may find meditation techniques that fit their lifestyle even more easily with these topics.
New Time to Walk Episodes
Users can walk with some of the most fascinating and powerful individuals in the world as they share music, tales, and images with Time to Walk, an award-winning audio experience for the iPhone and Apple Watch that encourages people to walk more frequently.
Fitness+ and Strava Collaborate
Fitness+ and Strava, the app for active people, are working together to give members of Strava a unique deal and a new connection to the Strava experience. The Strava app will now provide rich data, such as the episode image, episode number, music genre, trainer name, and analytics, when users share a Apple Fitness+ session with Strava. This improved connection allows members to follow their fitness journey and share it with their Strava network. In addition to using the world’s biggest collection of 4K Ultra High Definition fitness and wellness content which includes over 6,500 exercises and meditations in 12 different workout types new and current Strava customers may also use up to three months of Fitness+ for free.
