Spotify is launching a new fitness hub with guided workouts and Peloton classes

If you use Spotify, it’s probably already home to your well-curated playlist. Now, a music streaming app wants to be your gym, too.

In a move that makes its longtime “app” ambitions feel more real, Spotify is officially expanding into sustainability, rolling out curated experiences within the app. The pitch is simple: If you’re already pressing play to complete a workout, why not stay for a workout?

At launch, the new fitness hub brings playlists, instructors, and classes together in one place, making fitness as easy to access as a playlist. Both free and Premium users will have access to a curated list of workouts and sessions led by the same creators Chloe Ting and Kassandra Reinhardt, and similar productions Sweat Studio again Pilates Body By Raven.

The biggest change, however, comes from Spotify’s relationship with Peloton. Premium subscribers in select markets can now access more than 1,400 on-demand classes — fitness classes including cardio, yoga, and meditation — without leaving the app. Instead of building everything from scratch, Spotify is folding a solid form into its own, just as it previously expanded into podcasts and audiobooks.

This does not happen in a vacuum. Spotify says that about 70 percent of its Premium users are already active every month, and there are more than 150 million active playlists on the platform worldwide. In other words, users have been treating Spotify as a workout buddy for years, and the company is just programming that behavior into a product.

Still, the move raises a general question: How far can one app stretch before everything starts sounding the same?

Spotify’s framework relies heavily on time spent on purpose, placing exercise alongside music, video podcasts, and audiobooks as part of a broader lifestyle ecosystem. But if your running, your meditation, and your daily listening habits all live the same way, the line between performance and content blurs. At this point, Spotify isn’t just a listening app; your gym, your music library, and your bookstore.

It’s no different from Spotify. Platforms across the internet – from ChatGPT to X to Instagram and TikTok – have all made moves to centralize the lives of many users in one place. Messaging becomes commerce, entertainment becomes product, and increasingly, everything becomes content.

For now, the feature is easy to find: Search for “fitness” in the app to open a new hub, where playlists like “Quick Core Workouts” and “Kickstart Your Run” sit alongside full guided sessions.

Whether users stick to a full class or just hit play on another playlist will determine if this is evolution or another tab in an overcrowded app.
