How to Get a Free Fitness App Trial This New Year

Compare New Year fitness trial lengths, device rules, and cancel-by timing to avoid the first charge.

You can get a free fitness app trial this New Year by starting a new-member trial and cancelling before billing starts. Trial lengths and billing rules differ by company, so check the plan terms before you sign up. An app trial means temporary access to paid workouts or tracking for a set number of days.

The options below list who qualifies, how long access lasts, and when to cancel.

Do Apple devices unlock a longer trial?

Apple says new Fitness+ subscribers get 1 free month, then pay $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year unless cancelled. Apple also offers new subscribers 3 free months with purchase of an eligible device such as iPhone, Watch, or iPad, described on the Apple Fitness+ page. Choose the 1-month path if you already own a compatible device.

Save the device offer for a year when you buy new hardware.

Can you try Peloton without new equipment?

According to Peloton, new App members get a 30-day free trial of App membership and can cancel anytime, explained on the Peloton app page. That option suits readers who want classes through a phone or tablet. Use the trial for one class style at a time, such as cycling, strength, or stretching.

Note the renewal date during signup so the cancel-anytime choice stays with you.

What does Strava charge after the trial?

Strava says its Individual Subscription includes a 30-day $0 trial, with a reminder 2 days before it ends. The subscription amount applies unless you cancel at least 24 hours before, and the Individual annual plan is billed at $79.99 per year plus tax, listed as $6.67 per month, as explained on the Strava subscription page. That structure helps runners and cyclists test route tracking and training tools.

Mark the reminder day and the cancel-by time in your calendar when you join.

How do you avoid paying by mistake?

MyFitnessPal Help says Premium+ offers a 7-day free trial through its Start your 7-day Free Trial flow in the US, UK, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia, described in the MyFitnessPal Premium help article. That short window suits readers who want to test food and activity tracking for one week.

  • Start one trial at a time so dates stay clear.
  • Save the cancel-by date, time zone, and steps to cancel.
  • Check your location and account type before you tap start.
  • Set a phone reminder for the day before the cancel-by date.
