We’re only two days into 2026, but in what’s become something of an annual tradition for Apple Fitness+, Apple is ushering in a slate of new workout programs designed to help you get in shape in the new year, while also teasing upcoming episodes of Time to Walk, Artist Spotlights, and special guests who’ll appear in select workouts.
These additions will help keep the content fresh for regular users and may encourage newcomers to try Fitness+ in the first few days or weeks of 2026.

Let’s start with the new workout programs: you can choose a workout type to adopt or return to, and stick with it for the long haul. It’s all about finding a rhythm with either HIIT, yoga, or strength – or maybe all three if you’re up for the challenge – and building a strong foundation.
Apple’s Fitness+ team will offer new-year workout programs in Strength, HIIT, and Yoga, each lasting four weeks with three workouts per week. Classes are shorter by intention, designed to make the commitment easier and make it easy to fit sessions into your schedule. Over four weeks, each program builds progressively from class to class.
The length of each class will vary by program – ‘Build a Yoga Habit’, ‘Back-to-Back Strength and HIIT’, or ‘The Strength Basics’ – but will be as short as 10 minutes. All of them launch on Fitness+ on Monday, January 5, 2026.
