Fitbit and Google Pixel Watch users just got a cool free upgrade
What Google Fitbit and Peloton's content partnership means for fitness enthusiasts
Fitbit Premium members are in for a treat, as they’ll soon have access to a diverse range of Peloton’s fitness classes.
Hot on the heels of the Pixel Watch 3 announcement, Google Fitbit and the maker of the coveted Peloton Bike Plus have announced a multi-year, multi-country partnership that will bring Peloton’s highly acclaimed fitness classes to Fitbit Premium users starting as early as September this year.
The offerings span over 10 different modalities (i.e. types of workouts), including popular workouts like Strength, Pilates, Running, Boxing, Cycling, Barre, and more.
This isn’t just a one-time drop – the companies say new content will be rolled out incrementally, ensuring that the user experience remains fresh, engaging, and, most importantly, effective.
For those who aren’t subscribed to Fitbit Premium, there’s still good news. A select range of Peloton classes will be made available to all Fitbit users, offering a taste of that sweet, sweet Fitbit Premium Member life for everyone.
Peloton hasn’t forgotten its loyal members in this partnership, either. Throughout the duration of the collaboration, Peloton members can look forward to exclusive offers on Google’s latest fitness wearables, including the Pixel Watch and Fitbit Charge 6.
Senior Vice President and General Manager of Peloton for Business, Greg Hybl, expressed his excitement about the partnership, stating, “We're thrilled to bring Peloton's classes and world-class instructors to Fitbit users, and continue to establish Peloton as a one-stop shop for all types of fitness content.”
