Exciting Enhancements Coming to Apple Fitness+ in 2025
As 2025 begins, Apple is set to refresh its Apple Fitness+ platform with an exciting array of features. This update not only introduces a variety of new content encompassing yoga, strength training, and meditation but also integrates seamlessly with the popular fitness tracking app, Strava.
Elevating Your Yoga Practice
While Apple Fitness+ has traditionally catered more towards newcomers in fitness, the introduction of Yoga Peak Poses aims to elevate the experience for those seeking greater challenges. This feature will include immersive workshops inspired by retreat-style sessions that emphasize mastering advanced postures such as Dancer and Crow. According to Apple, each pose will be preceded by a specialized 10-minute warm-up sequence designed to prepare users before transitioning into a focused practice session. This approach not only nurtures skill development but also empowers participants to execute complex poses effectively.
A Progressive Path for Strength Training
If strength training aligns more closely with your interests, you’ll be intrigued by Fitness+’s new “Three Perfect Weeks of Strength” program. Over three weeks, users can engage in twelve carefully curated 30-minute workouts that progressively build intensity. The initial week emphasizes “Progressive Overload,” followed by a focus on “Time Under Tension” and culminating in “Dynamic Power.” Designed with repeatability in mind, this program allows individuals to revisit each phase using varied weights as their strength increases—a nice alternative though not as comprehensive as similar offerings from competitors like Peloton.

Enhanced Connectivity Through Strava Integration
A standout feature of this update is the impressive integration between Fitness+ and Strava. Users can now share their workouts through Strava which will showcase details such as the specific workout completed alongside essential health metrics like heart rate or calories burned. In an appealing gesture for fitness enthusiasts who use both platforms, Apple is offering up to three months free access to Fitness+ for current Strava subscribers—a clever marketing strategy aimed at expanding its user base.
Diverse New Features Awaiting Users
The enhancements don’t stop there; they also include various additional functionalities across the platform. Upcoming features comprise an introductory class on Breath Meditation tailored for beginners; specialized workout sequences focusing on pickleball training; fresh audio stories led by well-known figures during Apple’s Time to Walk series; plus themed playlists highlighting artists such as Janet Jackson (January 13), Coldplay (January 20), Bruno Mars (January 27), and Kendrick Lamar (February 3).
