Apple Fitness+ added four new workout programmes in January 2026, and Apple’s own announcement names the same three workout types across all four: Strength, HIIT and Yoga. Two of the four programmes come with a published weekly structure. The other two are named on Apple’s page without further detail.
The four are Make Your Fitness Comeback, Build a Yoga Habit in 4 Weeks, Back-to-Back Strength and HIIT, and Strength Basics in 3 Weeks. Apple tied the release to the new year, when the company says people are more likely to start or restart a routine. This article reports what Apple’s own page says about how each programme is built, not whether any of them fits a particular reader.
What the four January programmes are called
Apple’s newsroom page from January 2026 lists all four programmes by name alongside the workout types Apple built them from. The table below sets out exactly what Apple published for each one, and where Apple’s page stops short of further detail.

| Key facts | Detail |
|---|---|
| Make Your Fitness Comeback | Strength, HIIT, Yoga; four weeks, three 10-minute workouts a week, one of each type |
| Build a Yoga Habit in 4 Weeks | Yoga only; four weeks, two 10-minute flows a week, one slow and one energetic |
| Back-to-Back Strength and HIIT | Strength and HIIT named by Apple; weekly structure not detailed on the page reviewed |
| Strength Basics in 3 Weeks | Strength named by Apple; weekly structure not detailed on the page reviewed |
How Make Your Fitness Comeback is structured
Apple describes Make Your Fitness Comeback as a four-week plan spanning Strength, HIIT and Yoga. It runs three workouts a week, one of each type, and Apple specifies each session at ten minutes. Apple frames the short sessions as a way to make restarting easier. Apple does not put a number on results, and this article does not either.
How Build a Yoga Habit in 4 Weeks is structured
The second programme with published detail is Build a Yoga Habit in 4 Weeks. Apple’s page describes two ten-minute flows a week for four weeks, one it calls slow and one it calls energetic. As with the Strength, HIIT and Yoga programme, Apple states the schedule and format without describing an expected outcome for anyone who follows it.
The workout types Apple names, and the ones it doesn’t
Across the four January programmes, Apple’s page names exactly three workout types: Strength, HIIT and Yoga. Apple elsewhere describes its Fitness+ catalog as running past 8,000 workouts and meditations in total, and calls it the largest library of fitness and wellness content in 4K Ultra High Definition. Apple’s January page does not itemize which other workout formats sit inside that broader figure, so this article does not guess at a breakdown Apple has not published.
Where Fitness+ sits inside Apple One
None of the four programmes carries an individual price, because Fitness+ is a subscription rather than a purchase. A January 2026 Apple services report names Fitness+ specifically when describing Apple One’s Premier tier, and a separate newsroom page dated September 8, 2026, a Tuesday, prices Apple One at $21.95 a month for Individual, $27.95 for Family and $39.95 for Premier in the US. Neither page Apple published states a standalone US monthly price for Fitness+ outside that bundle.
| Apple One tier | Monthly price (US) | Fitness+ named inside it |
|---|---|---|
| Individual | $21.95 | Not named |
| Family | $27.95 | Not named |
| Premier | $39.95 | Yes |
What that means for other Apple devices
Fitness+ is one of the apps available on iPhone, including phones that update to iOS 27 on Monday, September 14, since Apple’s own pages describe that update’s changes separately from anything in the January Fitness+ programmes. Apple’s marketing has long paired Fitness+ classes with the health-sensing built into Apple Watch, including the newly announced Apple Watch Series 12, though the January programmes page reviewed for this article does not state that an Apple Watch is required to take a class. Many Fitness+ users also work out with headphones such as the newly announced AirPods 5, though Apple’s page does not name any headphone as a requirement either. None of this was part of Apple’s September 9 keynote, since the January programmes and Apple One’s pricing were both published separately from that event.
What Apple has not said
- Whether an Apple Watch, or any other device, is required to take any Fitness+ class.
- Whether Back-to-Back Strength and HIIT and Strength Basics in 3 Weeks share the weekly structure Apple described for the other two January programmes.
- A standalone US monthly price for Fitness+ outside the Apple One bundle.
- Which additional workout types, beyond Strength, HIIT and Yoga, make up the more than 8,000 workouts and meditations Apple counts in its library.
Today is Saturday, September 12, 2026. Apple has not set a date for its next set of Fitness+ programmes; the four described here were tied to the new year, which makes January 2027 the next point worth checking Apple’s newsroom again.
