A Peloton App Membership allows individuals to access the Peloton platform without investing in a pricey piece of equipment. It simply grants users access to thousands of workout classes from the Peloton brand. In other words, you can take Peloton classes for cheaper, using any generic gym or at-home workout equipment as needed. You can access the classes from your phone, tablet, TV, or web browser. Because the membership is for your individual use only, you can only stream on one device at a time.

A Peloton App membership lets users join the cult craze without investing in pricey equipment.

A Peloton App Membership costs $12.99 per month. Unfortunately, the company does not offer an annual price. You can, however, sign up for a 30-day trial period to test out the membership. You will be required to enter your credit card information, but will not be charged until the end of the trial period if you decide to keep the membership. Peloton also reminds you seven days before the end of your trial to cancel if you don’t wish to continue with the subscription.

Key Features

  • Live classes: With a Peloton app membership, users can access live classes on their preferred screen, whether it’s a phone, tablet, computer, or TV.
  • Workout diversity: To keep workouts varied and fresh, the app offers a diverse mix of workout types, including indoor cycling, running, walking, Bootcamp, and strength. There are even audio-only outdoor classes available. In addition to live classes, Peloton also offers content on demand.
  • Tracking and Scheduling: The Peloton app tracks users’ workouts and offers a weekly view of upcoming workouts. Once you sign up for a class, it will appear in your schedule. You can also track activities outside of a class structure.
  • Guided training: Users can also sign up for training programs focused on specific fitness goals.
  • Challenges: The Peloton app features challenges that users can join for added motivation. These include everything from streaks to monthly distances.

What can you do with a Peloton app subscription?

A Peloton app subscription offers a more affordable way to join the craze. More importantly, the app provides structure and guidance for pursuing a healthier lifestyle. With a digital Peloton account, you can work out alongside others and access the larger fitness community. You can track metrics, join challenges, and turn exercise into a long-term habit.

Peloton App vs Peloton Bike and Tread: What’s the difference?

Any form of Peloton subscription has the potential to help users reach their fitness goals. However, a digital membership is very different than purchasing a Peloton Bike or Tread. For starters, a Peloton App membership is considerably cheaper. The lowest-tier Bike costs nearly $1,500, and that’s not all. Even after you’ve dropped the cash for a piece of equipment, you still have to pay a monthly membership fee to unlock classes! The Peloton All-access Membership currently costs $44 per month.

The digital membership differs from the pricier experience in that you don’t need a unit of Peloton workout equipment to use it. On the other hand, an All-access Membership includes app access. The more expensive membership also grants everyone in your household individual access to classes, metrics, in-class Leaderboards, and recommendations. If you have multiple users in your home, the price may feel more appropriate.

Peloton vs other fitness apps

The Peloton experience is as pricey as it is popular. The branded equipment is no small investment, and the monthly fee on top isn’t pocket change either. The brand’s pricing structure reflects the price of in-person spin classes and the unique studio experience. Whether that price computes for you is largely dependent on how much you value those features.

Enter the Peloton app membership. A much more affordable option (though still not cheap for some), this membership offers a budget-friendly door through which to enter the Peloton community. Users can still access live classes, record metrics, and track their progress over time.

Peloton offers a robust experience, but it’s not the only name in the game.

But Peloton isn’t the only name in the game. Fitness apps are more popular than ever, with many individuals looking for guided workouts they can do at home. Some apps are device dependent, such as Apple Fitness Plus. Apple’s fitness app features recorded classes only, so you don’t get the same community experience as you find on Peloton. Apple Fitness Plus doesn’t offer organizational features like stacking classes or Peloton’s calendar view of scheduled classes. Likewise, Peloton offers considerably more filtering options when looking for classes, including a very helpful difficulty metric. Apple does offer a few unique features, however, including audio experiences and unique integration to users with an Apple Watch. 

Centr by Chris Hemsworth is another pick for anyone looking for a more holistic experience. The app offers workout programs developed by Hemsworth’s personal trainers and other fitness professionals, covering everything from pilates to interval training. Centr also promotes balance and wellness with features like mindfulness courses and mental health content, as well as nutritional guidance and meal planning.
