The overall layout of the iPhone Fitness app in iOS 17 remains mostly the same, but Apple has included a number of valuable updates.
A couple of examples are steps and distance appearing on the main screen just below your Activity Rings and the “Workout” section changing to “History” which now includes Mindfulness sessions as well as traditional workouts.
Another neat addition to the app is Apple Fitness+ trainer tips that give weekly pointers with a short video. The new trophy case features a sharp UI to view all the Awards you’re working on and those you’ve already earned.
