Apple Fitness+ adds new workout programs to help you stick to your 2026 fitness goals

Every year, many people promise themselves they’ll eat better and stay active, only to fall off the wagon a few weeks later. To help users stick with their fitness goals longer, Apple is rolling out a new batch of Apple Fitness+ content designed to make staying consistent a little easier.

Starting today, Apple Fitness+ subscribers will have access to three new multi-week workout plans designed for different types of exercise, including strength training, HIIT, and yoga. The Make Your Fitness Comeback program focuses on all three and offers a four-week plan that includes three 10-minute exercises per week for each type. It is designed to help users easily return to their exercise routine without exhaustion.

“Build a Yoga Habit” also offers a four-week plan aimed at helping users incorporate yoga routines into their fitness regimen. Apple says these exercises are designed to “increase flexibility, reduce stress, and build strength and stability.” The plan includes two 10-minute streams per week that complement existing workout routines and help users build a habit.

The Back-to-Back Strength and HIIT program combines 10 minutes of strength training with 10 minutes of HIIT three times a week over three weeks. It is designed to be performed one at a time without any rest periods in between to help users build strength and endurance.

Finally, the Strength Basics program is for users new to strength training, and offers a three-week plan consisting of three workouts per week, each focusing on a different body part. The program will launch on January 12, and is designed to help users master basic lifts and build confidence with proper form.

New Artist Spotlights, Time to Walk episodes, and Apple Watch Awards

Along with the new workout programs, Apple is updating the Artist Spotlight series with new playlists and sessions featuring music from Karol G and Bad Bunny. The company also introduced a new season of the Time to Walk podcast with celebrity guests such as Penn Badgley, Mel B and Michelle Monaghan.

For Apple Watch users, there’s also a limited-edition “Ring in the New Year” prize for closing three activity rings for seven consecutive days and a “Quit Quitting” challenge on Strava that rewards them for logging 12 workouts in January.

If you want to get in on the action, you can subscribe to Apple Fitness+ for $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year. You can share your subscription with up to five family members, making it easier to stay motivated together in 2026.
