**Introduction**: Staying fit can sometimes be a challenge, but with the evolution of digital fitness solutions, achieving your fitness goals has never been more accessible. With new offerings emerging, Spotify’s recent entry into the fitness world is certainly an exciting development. Let’s explore how the Spotify app is transforming the way we engage in workouts with its new “Fitness with Spotify” feature.
Spotify is setting its sights on the fitness community with the launch of its “Fitness with Spotify” hub. Integrated directly into the Spotify app, this feature provides users with guided audio and video workouts, placing Spotify in competition with platforms like Apple Fitness Plus and Google’s Fitbit Premium.
Both free and Premium Spotify users will enjoy curated workout playlists and content from renowned fitness creators such as Yoga With Kassandra and Chloe Ting. For those with Premium subscriptions, there’s even more: access to over 1,400 ad-free classes through a collaboration with Peloton, covering various activities including strength training, cardio, yoga, and meditation.
How to Use Fitness with Spotify
Getting started with Fitness with Spotify is simple. Just open the Spotify app on your mobile device, desktop, or TV and search for “fitness.”
The onboarding process allows for some personalization, enabling you to select the types of workouts that interest you. You’ll begin by choosing the kind of movement you’re in the mood for—options include “Burn & Sweat,” “Strength & Tone,” and “Calm & Restore.”
You’ll also be prompted to indicate how intensely you’d like to work out, with options such as “Full-on cardio” or “Quick & intense.”

A slider lets you indicate your familiarity with your chosen workout type, helping Spotify to suggest sessions tailored to your skill level.
After setting your preferences, Fitness with Spotify will curate a personalized exercise lineup, like a “Cardio Starter Pack,” while also allowing you to explore additional workouts.
Additionally, users can browse instructor profiles (including those of Peloton trainers), follow them, and access their full workout libraries—similar to following artists on Spotify.
Once you begin a workout, there’s a unique interface that allows you to switch between video and audio playback, providing flexibility to enjoy guided sessions in the format you prefer.
One of the standout features is its cross-device functionality; you can start a workout on your TV and continue it seamlessly on your mobile device. Classes can even be downloaded for offline access, liberating you from a constant internet connection.
Regarding language options, primary workout sessions are available in English, with select classes offered in Spanish and German.
**Conclusion**: The “Fitness with Spotify” hub is a significant addition for fitness enthusiasts and casual users alike. By integrating audio and video workouts into the app we already love, Spotify not only provides convenience but also encourages a healthier lifestyle. Whether you’re a beginner looking to break into fitness or an experienced athlete wanting to mix things up, Fitness with Spotify offers something for everyone to stay motivated and engaged.
