Samsung Health Gets a Workout‑Centric Make‑over: The New “Discover” Tab Unleashes a Whole Pack of Workouts

Samsung’s flagship fitness platform, Samsung Health, has gone through another major overhaul this September, and the highlight of the update is the introduction of a brand‑new “Discover” tab. According to the latest coverage on Android Headlines, the change was designed to make the app feel more like a personal trainer than a simple activity tracker. The new tab, available on Android devices running the 2025.09 update, opens a curated library of workouts that range from beginner‑friendly routines to advanced HIIT sessions. In addition, the update refines the user interface, enhances integration with Samsung’s wearable ecosystem, and adds a handful of community‑driven features that aim to keep users motivated.

1. The “Discover” Tab: A Central Hub for Guided Workouts

Samsung Health’s previous interface focused heavily on passive data collection—steps, sleep, heart‑rate, and basic exercise metrics. The new “Discover” tab flips that paradigm on its head. When users tap the tab, they are greeted by a clean grid of workout categories: “Cardio”, “Strength”, “Yoga & Flexibility”, “Core”, and “Recovery”. Each category is populated with a handful of videos that are either auto‑generated by the app’s AI coach or curated by fitness experts.

The videos are fully integrated with Samsung’s “Active App” on the Galaxy Watch, meaning the watch can push real‑time metrics to the app during the session. For example, if a user is doing a 30‑minute treadmill workout, the watch will display pace and heart‑rate overlays on the phone’s video, and the app will automatically pause or reschedule the session if the user’s heart rate goes above a safe threshold.

Samsung Health also adds a “Workout Builder” tool inside Discover. Users can drag and drop pre‑selected exercises into a custom routine, set the duration, and choose whether to add music from Samsung Music or an external source. The builder then feeds the routine back into the “My Workouts” section, where users can schedule it for later or sync it to the watch.

2. AI‑Powered Personalization

One of the most exciting promises of the update is the use of artificial‑intelligence to personalize the workout experience. In the “Discover” tab, the AI first asks a few quick questions: age, fitness level, goal (e.g., weight loss, muscle gain, endurance), and available equipment (e.g., none, dumbbells, resistance bands). Based on those answers, the app surfaces a set of “Suggested Workouts” that fit the user’s profile.

During a workout, the AI tracks real‑time data from the watch and the phone’s sensors (camera‑based heart‑rate monitor, accelerometer, etc.). If the user struggles with a particular exercise—e.g., a squat is too deep or a plank is too short—the AI automatically offers a modification or a video tutorial. Conversely, if the user is breezing through a routine, the app will push a higher‑intensity version or add an extra set.

Samsung Health’s own “Fit Coach” voice assistant (previously limited to basic reminders) now becomes a “Virtual Trainer” that narrates key metrics (“You’re hitting 120 BPM, keep it up!”) and provides real‑time feedback. The voice engine is powered by Samsung’s “Neural Speech” technology, which claims to reduce mispronunciation and improve the naturalness of the commentary.

3. Integration with Wearables and Ecosystem Features

The update is tightly coupled with the Samsung Galaxy Wearable line. A new “Watch‑Sync” feature now allows the watch to push detailed workout logs directly into the phone app. In addition, the app will now detect when the watch’s battery is low and will automatically stop a workout, prompting the user to recharge. This is particularly handy for long endurance sessions such as marathons or triathlons.

Samsung Health also adds “Community Challenges” in the “Discover” tab. Users can join group challenges, for example, a 30‑day squat challenge or a 5‑kilometer run challenge. Participants can view each other’s progress, leave encouraging comments, and even reward themselves with badges. The challenge leaderboards are powered by a new cloud backend that syncs across all Samsung devices.

For those who prefer external platforms, the update offers seamless integration with Strava and Garmin Connect. Users can choose to export their Samsung Health activity logs to those services automatically, or pull Strava segments into the “Discover” tab to get a side‑by‑side comparison of performance.

4. Availability and Compatibility

The update is officially rolling out to Android 13 and 14 devices that support Samsung Health 4.7 and later. Samsung Health’s own “Update” page (https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/apps/samsung-health/) confirms that the “Discover” tab is included in the 2025.09.03 build for all flagship Galaxy S series and Note series phones, as well as the lower‑tier A series. However, some users in regions where the app is still in beta may need to enable “Developer Mode” to receive the feature earlier.

Samsung also notes that the new workout library uses significantly more data. For users with limited bandwidth, there is an option to disable video auto‑download and instead stream on demand. The “Settings > Data Usage” menu will now offer a toggle for “Smart Workout Downloads”.

5. Expert Reactions

A recent interview on TechRadar with fitness technologist Dr. Aisha Patel highlights the potential of AI‑driven coaching. She says, “The real value of Samsung’s new Discover tab isn’t just the videos; it’s the adaptive learning. If the AI can detect a pattern that the user’s consistently underperforms on a particular exercise, it can suggest modifications before the user even realizes they’re struggling.” Dr. Patel also notes that Samsung Health’s ecosystem advantage—having a watch, phone, and cloud—makes it a strong competitor against standalone fitness apps like MyFitnessPal and Strava.

6. Bottom Line

Samsung Health’s latest update signals a shift from a passive fitness tracker to an active fitness partner. The new “Discover” tab, powered by AI and integrated with the wearable ecosystem, provides a more personalized, engaging workout experience. For users who have been waiting for a more comprehensive workout library, the release is a welcome step forward. As Samsung continues to refine its AI models and expand its integration with third‑party platforms, the company is likely positioning Samsung Health as a flagship feature for its broader product line, from the Galaxy S series to the Galaxy Watch Ultra.

Whether you’re a casual stroller or a serious athlete, the new update offers tools to keep you on track, motivated, and—most importantly—safe. As Samsung Health rolls out across its device lineup in the coming weeks, the fitness community will undoubtedly be watching closely to see how the platform evolves.
