Introduction
In a move that strengthens the fitness ecosystem, Samsung has announced a collaboration with iFit to bring guided workouts to the Samsung Health app. The integration offers Samsung Health users a taste of iFit’s coaching library with free, limited access and the option to unlock full content through paid plans. This makes it easier to follow structured workouts without juggling multiple apps while staying within Samsung’s health and wellness ecosystem.
What the integration includes
The collaboration provides a curated, beginner-friendly entry point to iFit’s guided workouts. Samsung Health users can access at least one video from each of the seven workout categories, giving you a broad sampler across different training styles. While the free access is intentionally limited, it serves as a practical gateway to see how iFit’s coaching and instructional cues fit into your routine.
Free access versus paid options
Free access offers a glimpse into the breadth of iFit’s catalog. You can explore a representative video from each category to gauge pacing, modification levels, and how the guidance feels during a typical session. For those who want the full iFit experience—complete workout libraries, personalized recommendations, and advanced features—paid plans remain available through the iFit platform. The familiar pay model lets you choose a plan that suits your training goals, whether you’re pursuing general fitness, targeted strength, or endurance work.
Seven workout categories
Though the exact names may vary by region and update, the seven categories generally cover a wide spectrum: cardio, strength, yoga or mobility, pilates or core, HIIT, mindfulness or recovery, and total-body/functional workouts. The initial Samsung Health integration ensures at least one video from each category, so you can sample different modalities and decide which aligns with your goals.
How to access iFit content in Samsung Health
To start, ensure you have the latest version of Samsung Health installed and that your device is compatible with iFit streaming. Within Samsung Health, look for the iFit section or guided-workout prompts. You’ll likely sign in with your iFit account or create one if you don’t already have it. Once connected, you can stream the sample videos directly from the app and track your sessions alongside your other health data in Samsung Health.
Maximizing your experience
If you’re curious about long-term training, consider upgrading to an iFit plan to unlock a broader library and personalized coaching. For best results, combine iFit workouts with Samsung Health’s activity insights, sleep data, and nutrition tracking. Use the guided cues to focus on form, tempo, and consistency, and note how different modalities support your overall fitness trajectory.
Privacy and data considerations
As with any cross-platform integration, review the data-sharing and permissions requested by iFit through Samsung Health. You’ll typically have control over what health metrics are shared, such as heart rate, calories, and workout history. If you value privacy, adjust settings to limit data transfer while still enjoying the guided workouts you enjoy.
