What’s happened? Samsung has announced a partnership with iFIT. Samsung Health users can now access exclusive fitness videos ranging from HIIT to yoga, directly within the app. This announcement comes right after Samsung Health added virtual doctor consultations, signaling a broader move toward becoming a one-stop digital wellness hub.
- The workouts span across seven categories: HIIT, Pilates, yoga, strength, recovery, barre, and mindfulness.
- Users get one free workout video per category each month or pay $10/month or $100/year for full access to hundreds of videos and fresh new content.
- Those who buy eligible Galaxy devices get a free iFIT trial subscription.
This is important because: Samsung is now competing with Apple Fitness+ by giving Galaxy users a native, trainer-led experience.
- Apple Fitness+, which remains one of the best health and fitness apps for iPhone, has long paired video classes with real-time watch data; Samsung’s integration with iFIT now mirrors that setup.
- Fitness tab in the Samsung Health app now supports viewing live workout metrics (heart rate, calories burned, session duration) on compatible watches.
Why should I care? Apple’s ecosystem has dominated the at-home workout scene with Fitness+ features like curated music and instructor-driven sessions.
- Samsung’s iFIT tie-up gives Android users a similar experience. It also arrives just in time as Apple’s latest beta update improves iPhone workouts, raising the competition bar.
- Those who own a Galaxy Watch or smartphone can now train and track in one place instead of switching between multiple apps.
OK, what’s next? Existing users should check if their Galaxy device supports the new feature. Meanwhile, new customers get exclusive iFIT discounts and a free trial when buying new devices.
- 30 days free with the purchase of a new qualifying Galaxy smartphone.
- 3 three months free with the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro.
- 6 months free with Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, or Galaxy Watch Ultra 5.
