What is Peloton and what is the difference between each bike?
What is Peloton?
Peloton is a global interactive fitness platform that brings the energy and benefits of studio-style workouts to the convenience and comfort of home. Members have access to live and on-demand classes taught by a roster of elite instructors and curated playlists from the world’s best artists.
What is the Peloton Bike?
The original Peloton Bike ($2,895*) combines fitness, technology and media to connect riders to world-class workouts (live and on-demand).
It includes a 22″ HD touchscreen with class videos, smooth magnetic resistance, a real-time leaderboard that allows you to track your progress against other riders.
The Peloton Bike+ ($3,695*) unlocks a more seamless workout with on and off-bike content
What is the Peloton Bike+?
The Peloton Bike+ ($3,695*) unlocks a more seamless workout with on and off-bike content. It makes it easier to complement an indoor cycling class with added strength, yoga, stretching and meditation classes through a 23.8″ HD touchscreen that has 360 degrees of rotation.
It includes a high-fidelity, four-speaker sound system and a touch-free optional adjustment that automatically scales your resistance based on Target Metrics.
You can also pair your Apple Watch to sync your heart rate and calories.
* Price includes delivery fee. A $59/month fee is required for unlimited access to live and on-demand classes.
What is the Peloton App?
Access to the Peloton App is free to All-Access Members but is $16.99 for non-bike owners. It provides access to the full content library anywhere, anytime and includes workouts across categories including indoor cycling, running, bootcamp, walking, strength, stretching, cardio, barre, pilates, yoga and meditation.
With the average member participating in 26 classes per month, however, it is significantly less expensive than the average gym membership and far more convenient.
Peloton was founded in New York City in 2021, when CEO John Foley struggled to fit studio gym classes into his busy schedule with two kids at home.
He set out to bring the benefits of studio-style classes into the home so people could access the motivation, music, power and intensity of them anytime and anywhere.
