There's lots for the team to delve in to this week! First up is the news that as of April 2026, Spotify and Peloton have partnered to launch a new fitness hub featuring over 1,400 on-demand, ad-free, and guided workout classes for Spotify Premium users globally. The content includes strength, yoga, cardio, and Pilates classes, along with specialized curated playlists, accessible directly within the Spotify app.
Next up, with the ever increasing rise of health tracking, health anxiety is on the rise. Health Anxiety, or Illness Anxiety Disorder, is a fear and preoccupation with the belief that one has, or is in danger of developing, a serious illness like cancer, ALS, or a heart attack, but as technology allows us to track our biomarkers like never before, is this anxiety creeping in to every day life too?
And finally, in Trending, Adrienne is looking across the pond at Miami. Is it becoming the new global wellness hub?
A message from Sammi:
I’m taking part in a fundraising challenge next month for CALM (suicide prevention), in memory of our friend Dan who passed away in 2019.
6 of us (friends of over 30 years) are attempting to cross every vehicle chain ferry in the UK - in an electric car - in under 24 hours.
It came from a line in Dan’s eulogy about a conversation on the Cowes chain ferry. Felt like something he would have loved.
The BBC are filming it and the Royal Navy are getting involved so it’s turning into a big one.
Suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 50 and young people aged 15–39 in the UK, so it’s a cause that really matters.
