Something Huge is Coming to Apple Fitness+ – Here’s What We Know

Apple Fitness+ has been significantly hinted at by new developments by the company that are already planned for 2026. A new post on the Apple Fitness+ Instagram account displays some trainers with newspapers, with the headlines suggesting the announcements coming up, which indicates the major update to the platform.

The post included terms like "Something Big is Coming", "Countdown Begins", and "Apple Fitness+ 2026 is Almost Here", indicating that Apple has planned some launches for the beginning of the year. However, information about the exact nature of these updates is still limited, hence the speculation.

There are rumors in the industry that Apple might be introducing an AI-driven Health+ service in 2026. This service would supposedly use a new Siri version powered by huge language models to hand out personalized health recommendations and coaching. Nonetheless, the AI feature is likely to be launched with iOS 26.4 in spring, which means it may not be part of the announcement in January.

Apple Fitness+, in all probability, will associate its upcoming disclosure with the annual Apple Watch activity challenge, "Ring in the New Year," which begins on January 1. This challenge urges users to achieve fitness goals and can be connected to a new Fitness+ program or promotion meant to help New Year’s resolutions.

The exact specifics and extent of the Apple Fitness+ announcement are still unknown. Apple seems to be creating hype around it with its mysterious teasers, which is a sign that users will have new ways to interact with the platform in the next year.
