Apple Fitness+ is kicking off the new year with two major updates: Collections—a curated series of workouts and meditations designed to help you hit specific fitness goals—and Time to Run, a brand-new audio running experience that takes inspiration from some of the world’s most iconic running cities.
And that’s not all. Season 3 of Time to Walk is also launching, with guests like Rebel Wilson, Hasan Minhaj, and Bernice A. King, plus new Artist Spotlight workouts featuring Ed Sheeran, Pharrell Williams, Shakira, and The Beatles.
It all drops on January 10—so if you’ve been looking for an excuse to get moving, this might just be it.
Collections: The Ultimate Workout Playlists
If scrolling through workouts leaves you overwhelmed, Apple’s new Collections feature has your back. These goal-based bundles pull together the best of Fitness+’s 2,000+ workouts and meditations into structured plans, helping you train with intention over the course of days or weeks.
At launch, there’ll be six Collections to choose from:
🔥 30-Day Core Challenge
💪 Strengthen Your Back, Stretch Your Hips
🧘 Perfect Your Yoga Balance Poses
🏃 Run Your First 5K
💤 Wind Down for a Better Bedtime
✨ Improve Your Posture with Pilates
Whether you want to build strength, run further, or finally touch your toes, there’s something to keep you on track.
Time to Run: Your New Audio Running Coach
Love running but need extra motivation? Time to Run is Apple’s answer to guided runs with a side of travel inspiration.
Each audio episode follows a famous running route in an iconic city, with expert coaching from Fitness+ trainers, curated playlists, and real-world sightseeing.
At launch, you can run through:
🏃♂️ London – Coached by Cory Wharton-Malcolm
🏃♀️ Brooklyn – Coached by Emily Fayette
🏖️ Miami Beach – Coached by Sam Sanchez
A new episode will drop every Monday, and you’ll even get photos of the route’s most notable sights, snapped by your trainer, which you can save or share post-run.
Like its Time to Walk sibling, Time to Run is designed to fit into your lifestyle—whether you’re running outside or on a treadmill. And for wheelchair users, it transforms into Time to Run or Push, offering an Outdoor Push Running Pace workout.
Time to Walk: New Season, New Voices
Prefer to get your steps in at a slower pace? Time to Walk is back for Season 3, featuring a fresh lineup of famous guests sharing personal stories and music as they walk.
Kicking things off is Rebel Wilson, who reflects on an acting lesson that turned into a life lesson, plus the unexpected friendship that helped her through grief.
Other upcoming guests include:
- Bernice A. King – Advocate, minister & daughter of Martin Luther King Jr.
- Hasan Minhaj – Comedian & Patriot Act creator.
- Chris Meloni – Law & Order: SVU legend.
- Ayọ Tometi – Co-founder of Black Lives Matter.
- Chelsea Handler – Comedian, author & former Chelsea Lately host.
- Sugar Ray Leonard – Boxing Hall of Famer & Olympic gold medallist.
