Spotify introduces Fitness hub with guided workout videos, partners with Peloton

Spotify wants to be a bigger part of your workout routine – there is no shortage of playlists to listen to, but the company announced today that it is introducing guided workout experiences.

These are available to both Free and Premium users and you can access them on your phone, computer or TV. You can find them through the new Fitness hub. In addition to this link, you can go through the Browse all tab or search the term “fitness”.

Spotify kicks things off with content from well-known creators such as Yoga with Kassandra, Caitlin K’eli Yoga, Sweaty Studio, Chloe Ting Home Workouts, Pilates Body by Raven, Abi Mills Wellness, Sophiereidfit and others.

While you may think of Spotify as an audio service, some workouts come in video form, while others are audio-only. In the Fitness hub, they are grouped into categories to help you find the right workout for you, e.g. Cardio: Floor or Cardio: Outdoor, Yoga or Pilates and so on.

Additionally, Premium subscribers will gain access to content from Peloton thanks to a new partnership – this is a catalog of 1,400 (and counting) on-demand classes. This includes “everything from outdoor runs to structured mat-class options across strength, cardio, yoga, and meditation from fan-favorite instructors like Rebecca Kennedy, Ally Love and Rad Lopez”. And no, you don’t need Peloton equipment to make use of these classes.
