Spotify announced in April 2026 that it is adding fitness content as its next major category, introducing a dedicated hub inside its app featuring workout videos, playlists, and on-demand classes from Peloton.
The new “Fitness” section is accessible via a hub within the app or through the search bar. Content is available across Spotify’s mobile, desktop, and TV apps, and can be downloaded for offline use. Workouts are currently offered in English, with some options in Spanish and German.
At launch, both free and Premium users can access dozens of playlists and instructional workout videos from creators including Yoga With Kassandra, Chloe Ting, Sweaty Studio, Pilates Body By Raven, Caitlin K’eli Yoga, Abi Mills Wellness, Sophiereidfit, and others. Spotify’s Premium subscribers in select markets gain additional access to more than 1,400 ad-free, on-demand Peloton classes spanning strength, cardio, yoga, meditation, running, and more — none of which require Peloton’s specialized equipment.
Spotify said the move was driven by user data: nearly 70% of its Premium subscribers work out monthly, and the platform hosts over 150 million fitness playlists. The company also cited increased demand for workout music following the launch of its AI-powered Prompted Playlist feature.
Participating creators can monetize their content through existing tools such as the Spotify Partner Program. The company declined to disclose the financial terms of its Peloton deal and would not confirm whether future monetization could include paid subscriptions or paid classes.
The expansion adds yet another content format to an app that began as a music-only service and has since grown to include podcasts, audiobooks, and video. Spotify acknowledged potential concerns about app clutter, noting it recently introduced an option for users to disable videos across the platform.
