One of the string features of this dedicated hub is that it has guided sessions and curated playlist at one place. This will direct users to follow step-by-step workout sessions while listening their favorite music.
This way, users don’t need to switch between app and everything will be available in one place and easy to follow. The content is designed in such a way that anyone who is beginner, regular, and trained user can follow the sessions without any confusion or any further guidance.

| Workout types | Cardio, strength, yoga, meditation |
| Guided sessions | Step-by-step workouts by trainers |
| Music integration | Playlists combined with workouts |

Spotify has also partnered with Peloton to expand its fitness content. Peloton is a high-tech fitness company that manufacture premium exercise hardware, including stationary bikes, treadmills, and rowers. With this partnership, Spotify will leverage Peloton features and services. In addition, Spotify’s premium members will also get access to a large number of workout classes.
These classes will include different types of training sessions, including strength workouts, exercises, floor exercises, running, and more. Users will get trained instructors. Furthermore, you can access these classes without ads, and can download videos and use them offline.
A significant feature is multi-device support. Workouts can be started on one device and finished on another. So, they can start a workout on a television, continue on their phone while running and then switch to a smart speaker for recovery workouts. Spotify also doesn’t require special equipment. Most workouts can be done with minimal equipment at home.
Spotify is not following in the footsteps of Apple Fitness+ and Fitbit. Apple Fitness+ is tied to Apple devices. Fitbit also requires fitness bands to track health. Spotify is about content. Users do not need a smartwatch or fitness tracker. All they need is the app to access workouts. This makes it easier for users who don’t want to spend money on additional devices.
Spotify is popular with consumers. People listen to music while exercising. The company is capitalising on this. There are millions of exercise playlists on the service. Many use Spotify while working out each month. With guided sessions, Spotify is hoping to keep people in the Spotify app longer.
