Apple wants to help you get stronger. Apple Fitness+ expands to the gym with a new strength training experience. Gym Strength is now available in beta and brings personalized training plans, exercise demos, and Apple Watch logs to your lifting routine. Gym Strength is designed to work in real-world environments with a variety of equipment. Gym Strength creates progressive four-week plans based on your strength goals, experience, schedule, and available equipment. After completing each week of workouts, the following week is tailored based on the reps and weight you’ve logged. The feature is designed for a variety of experience levels, from people trying strength training for the first time to experienced lifters looking to progress. It is also intended to help anyone who wants to develop a more consistent routine. When making a plan, you choose the training days and areas of the body you want to focus on. You can select five exercises per workout, which Apple estimates will last between 20 and 30 minutes, or seven exercises for between 45 and 60 minutes, depending on your pace. Each workout recommends exercises, repetitions, sets and how much weight to lift. Work out at your own pace, with short video demonstrations from Apple Fitness+ trainers available for each exercise. The demonstrations can be expanded to show movement from three different angles. Apple says Gym Strength includes more than 350 exercises on more than 30 types of strength training equipment, including dumbbells, kettlebells, suspension trainers, cable machines and barbells. Dumbbells are the minimum equipment required. The plans take into account the equipment available to you, so the experience can work at a commercial gym or a home gym. If a machine is busy or you are training somewhere with different equipment, you can change the equipment or choose an alternative exercise with a similar movement and body focus. You can also add sets or skip exercises. Gym Strength requires an iPhone running iOS 27.3 or an iPad running iPadOS 27.3. An Apple Watch with watchOS 27.3 optionally lets you view exercises and log reps and weight from your wrist, while tracking heart rate and calories burned. Gym Strength also features Training Note, an optional feature powered by Apple Intelligence that previews workouts, explains progression, and highlights milestones. Training Note requires an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad with the device set to English. Beyond strength training, Gym Strength is included in the existing Fitness+ subscription. It joins a library of trainer-led workouts spanning 12 exercise types, including strength, HIIT, yoga, Pilates, core, cycling, rowing, dance, kickboxing, treadmill walking and running, and Mindful Cooldown. Fitness+ also offers guided meditations, personalized recommendations, and personalized workout scheduling plans, with new sessions added each week. Apple Fitness+ costs $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year in the US, and a subscription can be shared with up to five other family members. New subscribers can try one month free, while purchases of eligible devices include a three-month trial. Fitness+ is also included in Apple One Premier, which costs $39.95 per month in the US and includes Apple Music, Apple TV, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, and 2TB of iCloud+ storage.
