Spotify is expanding far beyond music and podcasts. The company has now entered the fitness space with a new feature designed to help users work out, stay fit, and listen to music in one place.
This move puts Spotify in direct competition with services like Apple Fitness+ and Fitbit, but with a different approach focused on content rather than devices.
What Is Spotify’s New Fitness Feature?
Spotify has launched a dedicated fitness section inside its app called “Fitness with Spotify.”
This new hub brings together:
Guided workout sessions
Wellness and meditation content
Structured fitness routines
The goal is simple—users should not need to leave the app to exercise and listen to music at the same time.
The feature includes workouts like:
Cardio and strength training
Yoga and recovery sessions
Meditation and breathing exercises
Spotify has also collaborated with experienced fitness trainers and creators to design these sessions.
Workout and Music in One Place
One of the biggest highlights of the new feature is how it blends workouts with music.
Users can:
Follow step-by-step guided exercises
Listen to curated workout playlists at the same time
Choose sessions based on fitness level (beginner to advanced)
This makes workouts easier to follow, especially for people who prefer home fitness without professional guidance.
The idea is to remove the need to switch between multiple apps while exercising.
Key Features of Spotify Fitness Hub
Here’s what users get with the new fitness section:

Music-integrated exercise playlists

Spotify has also partnered with Peloton to expand its workout library.
Peloton is known for its high-quality fitness training programs and equipment like bikes and treadmills.
Through this partnership, Spotify users get access to:
Strength training sessions

Multi-Device Workout Experience
A unique feature of Spotify’s fitness hub is cross-device support.

Continue on a phone while moving
Switch to smart speakers for cool-down sessions
Most workouts also require little or no equipment, making them suitable for home use.
How It Differs from Apple Fitness+ and Fitbit
Spotify is taking a different path compared to competitors.
Apple Fitness+ is tightly connected to Apple devices and watches
Fitbit depends on fitness trackers and wearable devices
Spotify, on the other hand, only needs its app.
No smartwatch. No fitness band. No extra hardware.
This makes it more accessible for users who simply want guided workouts with music.
Why Spotify Is Entering Fitness
Spotify already has millions of users listening to workout playlists every day.
The company is now building on that habit.
By adding guided fitness sessions, Spotify aims to:
Keep users engaged longer inside the app
Turn passive listening into active workouts
Expand beyond just music streaming
Final Take
Spotify’s new fitness hub is a clear step toward becoming more than just a music platform.
By combining workouts, music, and expert guidance in one app, it is trying to make fitness simpler, more accessible, and more enjoyable for everyday users.
