Samsung Health Now Offers iFit Workouts, Expanding Fitness Options for Galaxy Users
Samsung Health has integrated hundreds of premium workouts from iFit, a leading fitness platform, across seven categories – barre, HIIT, mindfulness, Pilates, recovery, strength, and yoga – providing users with expanded exercise options directly within the Samsung ecosystem.
The partnership, officially announced today, November 10, 2025, brings iFit’s library of on-demand fitness content to Samsung Health users in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Italy, New Zealand, Spain, the U.K., and the U.S. While a full iFit subscription costs $9.99 per month or $99.99 annually, Samsung Health users can access one free on-demand video per category each month. Galaxy Watch owners with a compatible Samsung phone will be able to view real-time workout data, including session duration, heart rate, and calories burned, directly on their wrist.
New purchasers of the Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, or Galaxy Watch Ultra will receive six months of unlimited iFit access, while buyers of the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro will receive a 30-day trial. This move allows Samsung to compete more directly with established fitness subscription services like Fitbit Premium and Apple Fitness+ without the significant investment of creating its own extensive video library. Samsung previously indicated plans for a potential Samsung Health subscription with advanced coaching features in 2026, and this partnership could be a stepping stone towards that offering; learn more about Samsung Health features here.
Samsung confirmed that current Galaxy Watch 8 owners will not receive a complimentary iFit trial, a decision that has drawn some criticism. Officials stated that iFit workouts are now available in the Fitness tab of the Samsung Health app, alongside free content from partners like Zumba and FitOn.
What you need to know
- Samsung Health has added hundreds of “premium workouts from world-class trainers” in seven categories: barre, HIIT, mindfulness, Pilates, recovery, strength, and yoga.
- You’ll be able to see workout data on your Galaxy Watch while following an iFit workout.
- An iFit subscription costs $9.99/month or $99.99/year, but you can get one on-demand video per category every month.
- New Galaxy Watch 8 or Ultra buyers will get six months of unlimited iFit workouts for free before needing to subscribe.
Samsung has outsourced its answer to Fitbit Premium and Apple Fitness Plus video workouts. On Monday, Samsung officially announced its partnership with iFit, a workout platform available on gym equipment like NordicTrack and ProForm. Now, iFit workouts will come to Samsung Health and Galaxy Watches.
iFit first announced this partnership in July, explaining that its library of strength, yoga, Pilates, cardio, recovery, mindfulness, HIIT, and barre content will come to Samsung Health owners in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Italy, New Zealand, Spain, the U.K., and the U.S.
While you’ll need to pay $10/month to access the full suite of workouts, Samsung explained that you’ll be able to access “one on-demand video per category each month at no cost.” That means anyone can try out up to seven workouts per month, and presumably rewatch them multiple times.
Anyone with Samsung Health can try these iFit workouts, but Galaxy Watch owners with a Samsung phone will see “session duration, heart rate, and calories burned displayed directly from their wrist in real time.”
Samsung will bundle an iFit subscription demo period with its new devices: 30 days with a Galaxy phone, three months with Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, or six months with a Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, or Galaxy Watch Ultra.
Unfortunately, Samsung confirmed that current Galaxy Watch 8 owners won’t get a complimentary demo, only new buyers, which feels unfair to early adopters.
iFit workouts are available now in the Fitness tab of the Samsung Health app, with each of the seven categories displayed prominently at the top. You’ll also find other workout videos available for free from partners like Zumba and FitOn.
Fitbit Premium, which has its own video workouts, is receiving an overhaul with the Gemini-powered Personal Health Coach, while Apple Fitness Plus has thousands of coached video workouts available. Samsung’s new partnership helps the company expand its offerings without needing to invest resources in making them itself.
Samsung hinted earlier this summer that it might introduce a Samsung Health subscription in 2026 for “advanced coaching features.” If Samsung does go this route, we’re curious if it will bundle Galaxy AI coaching insights with iFit workouts, or if they’ll remain separate services.
