Apple Teases ‘Something Big’ for Fitness+ in 2026

The Instagram reel signals early‑January news that coverage expects to center on new Fitness+ content, not the separately rumored AI Health+ service.

Overview

  • Apple’s official Fitness+ Instagram posted a teaser reel showing trainers with mock newspapers and a caption promising “big plans for 2026.”
  • Outlets say the timing points to an early‑January reveal, possibly January 1, and some expect a tie‑in with Apple Watch’s New Year activity challenge.
  • Reporters distinguish the tease from a paid AI‑driven Apple Health+ service reported for 2026, which is seen as dependent on later Siri/LLM upgrades.
  • The video features Fitness+ trainers Bakari Williams, Molly Fox, and Dice Iida‑Klein, reinforcing a focus on trainer‑led workouts and programs.
  • The teaser follows a December expansion into 28 additional markets using AI voice dubbing, with Apple confirming Japan is expected to join in early 2026.
