Apple Fitness+ is launching new ways for users to stay active and mindful in the new year. Starting on January 8, the service will introduce a brand-new sound meditation theme, as well as a new workout program titled Strength, Core, and Yoga for Golfers, featuring record-breaking athlete Rose Zhang, known as one of golf’s rising stars. The Artist Spotlight series will launch new workouts celebrating the countdown to the Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show featuring USHER. Time to Walk will introduce new guests, including Al Roker, Trixie Mattel, Lilly Singh, Common, and Colman Domingo. For the first time ever, select Time to Walk episodes will be available on Apple Podcasts for anyone to enjoy in the 21 countries where the service is available, even without a Fitness+ subscription.
“Starting the new year can mean kicking off a fitness and wellbeing journey, restarting after a long break, or looking to take it up a level with a new challenge,” said Jay Blahnik, Apple’s vice president of Fitness Technologies. “From sound meditations to help you relax, to building strength for an improved golf swing, or turning up the volume on your workouts, Fitness+ has something for everyone to help them stay active and support their wellbeing in the new year.”
Fitness+ offers 10 meditation themes, including Calm, Gratitude, Sleep, Resilience, and Creativity. Fitness+ is introducing a brand-new meditation theme called Sound, offering users a new way to feel relaxed and restored. Each meditation provides light guidance from a Fitness+ trainer while allowing ample space for users to be present, with a variety of soothing tones and rhythms — such as the tranquil sounds of singing bowls and the deep pitch of gongs — all arranged to create a sense of ease. Seven new Sound meditations will be available in five-, 10-, and 20-minute increments, with new meditations dropping every week.
Building strength, stability, and mobility is important for golfers to improve their game. Apple Fitness+ is launching a new workout program titled Strength, Core, and Yoga for Golfers, featuring Rose Zhang. This program is designed to help golfers build the physical and mental strength needed to excel in the sport. With the addition of these new offerings, Apple Fitness+ continues to expand its range of fitness and mindfulness content, providing users with more options to support their overall wellbeing.
