While you don't need the Peloton app or any specialized equipment, Spotify won't measure your active calories, step count, nutrition, or overall progress.You'll want to use either a separate app (such as Apple Fitness or Samsung Health) on your phone, or a wearable like a smartwatch or smart ring.Spotify vs.
