Spotify announced in April 2026 that it is adding fitness content as its next major category, introducing a dedicated workout hub inside its app featuring videos, playlists, and on-demand Peloton classes for both free and Premium users.
The new “Fitness” section is accessible via a hub within the app or by searching “fitness,” and is available across Spotify’s mobile, desktop, and TV apps. At launch, content is available in English, with some options in Spanish and German, and can be downloaded for offline use.
Free and Premium users alike can access dozens of playlists and instructional workout videos from creators including Yoga With Kassandra, Caitlin K’eli Yoga, Sweaty Studio, Chloe Ting, Pilates Body By Raven, Abi Mills Wellness, Sophiereidfit, and others. Premium subscribers in select markets also gain access to more than 1,400 ad-free, on-demand classes from Peloton — covering strength, cardio, yoga, meditation, running, and more — without requiring Peloton’s specialized equipment.
Participating creators will be able to use Spotify’s existing monetization tools, including the Spotify Partner Program. The company declined to share the terms of its Peloton deal and would not confirm whether future monetization options, such as paid subscriptions or paid classes, are under consideration.
Spotify said the move was driven by user data: nearly 70% of its Premium subscribers work out monthly, there are over 150 million fitness playlists on the platform, and demand for workout music increased following the launch of its AI-powered Prompted Playlist feature.
The expansion adds yet another content format to an app that began as a music service and has since grown to include podcasts, audiobooks, and video. For users who find the app increasingly cluttered, Spotify recently introduced an option to turn off videos across the app entirely.
