Peloton Interactive Inc. (PTON) on Monday announced a partnership with Spotify Technology SA (SPOT) to bring its fitness content to the music streaming giant’s 290 million subscribers.
The partnership between the two companies is part of Spotify’s plans to ramp up the offerings in its new fitness category. This also gives Peloton’s fitness content the exposure to hundreds of millions of Spotify subscribers around the world, helping the company elevate itself from a fitness equipment maker to a fitness content provider.
Peloton shares were up nearly 7% in Monday’s pre-market trade, on track for the biggest gains in this month so far. PTON was among the top trending tickers on the platform at the time of writing.
Peloton stated that starting Monday, Spotify Premium subscribers across most countries in the world can access a curated selection of Strength, Pilates, Barre, Yoga, Stretching, Meditation, Floor Cardio and Outdoor classes in Spotify’s new Fitness category.
The company stated that the library features sessions in English, Spanish and German, led by a roster of popular instructors, with new classes and formats added regularly.
“By bringing Peloton directly into our video and audio ecosystem, we are investing in a future where Spotify isn’t just where you spend your time—it’s where you go to build momentum, improve your wellbeing, and get more out of every day,” said Roman Wasenmüller, VP, Global Head of Podcasts, Spotify.
Peloton also stated that this partnership underscores its shift toward a more diversified business model.
“With this partnership, we are instantly activating a global footprint that makes the magic of Peloton accessible to Spotify Premium subscribers anywhere,” said Peloton’s Chief Commercial Officer, Dion Camp Sanders.
