Peloton wins praise in reviews for motivating, studio-caliber classes, engaging instructors (Cody Rigsby, Alex Toussaint, Robin Arzón), seamless app breadth, and sturdy, smooth hardware that makes at‑home workouts convenient and habit‑forming; however, recurring membership costs are widely criticized, the bike seat comfort and occasional hardware maintenance issues recur, and some find the experience overrated or less effective than live classes. Overall, Peloton is good if you’ll use it consistently and value variety and community, but buyers should weigh subscription demands and ergonomics.

I love my Peloton. I've had it for a year. The classes are varied and very motivating. I have a small place but it really doesn't take up much room. I really like the new boxing classes and I like that my friends and I can take the same classes.

It's expensive of course, but really it's worth it. Just keep the new classes coming. :)

My Peloton was delivered just before the Pandemic shutdown. I purchased it as a low impact alternative to running after my knees decided running wasn't making them happy any longer. Little did I know that my purchase was timely and gyms would be closing weeks later and "At Home" training was going to be the new normal. The Spin Programming was impressive and the quality of the bike is second to none. It was also nice to have the feel of being in a group class while still being safe at home. With new offerings to the programming such as Boot Camp, Strength Training and Yoga, now that the world is reopening, it gives a reason to stay home a get a great full body workout. While I still like the In Person gym experience, Peloton is my "go to" now.

Love that they continue to iterate on their product. Most recently, been loving the personalized weekly programs that Peloton creates for me.
Overall I think Peloton makes good bikes and exercise equipment, the quality is great and honestly it is the best spin bike I have used. What I am not as big of a fan of is the cost. While the bikes are excellent quality and worth every dime, it is not the end of the road. You then have to pay to subscribe to get the workouts, and so on. I am also not a huge fan of the workouts.
I love my Peloton cycling shoes. It’s nice to have a shoe that fits so well when I’m cycling on my Peloton. They’re very comfortable and cute. I use them every time I cycle and haven’t had any issues or blister just pure comfort.
Honestly, I can't afford a Peloton but a friend of mine has one and loves it. She bought it during the pandemic and still uses it every day so, for her and her family, the subscription is worth it.
I love my Peloton & the classes they have, I just wish that you could download the videos to watch without WIFI. I have inconsistent WIFI connection issues in my apartment so the classes bug out & I lose my mid-ride analytics. I've had my bike for a few years, & use it weekly.
Love the accessibility and ease of the bike. I think having a large selection of up-to-date classes is great.
Gotta love the Peloton! There's a good reason pretty much everyone knows about this brand. The classes are super fun, inclusive, great playlists, looks cool, and it's a great workout option!
Peloton offers an amazing at-home workout experience with top-notch instructors, a wide variety of classes, and a super motivating community. The bike is high quality, though the price and monthly subscription can add up. Still, it’s a great investment for fitness lovers looking for consistency and convenience.
I don’t own a peloton bike but I have used one multiples times at various hotels and while staying with family. I like the machine and have enjoyed both classes and free riding but I personally can’t justify the cost of the monthly membership plus the floor space that the machine takes up. I also find the seat incredibly uncomfortable.
I love how there are very fun instructors for cycling and dialing down options. It helps the time pass by and having an instructor led course helps encourage me to keep pushing through. The ride is nice and smooth which makes biking much easier and the gear is easy to use as well. Ergonomically the handles are great and the set up is nice. The bike seat is great too and not awkwardly uncomfortable.
I am a spin girlie (I also always come in last place, it’s truly just fun for me) so my husband bought me the Peloton and I ride it daily. It’s the perfect way to exercise and de-stress
In 2020 having a Peloton was a must. Finding it hard to justify the price for the subscription now that I can just go to a real class.
This review is for the bike, tread, and the service of the Peloton app. The bike was fun in the beginning, but kind of lost its luster for me. I shared using it with my partner and adjusting the seat and bars each time one of us wanted to use it for to be annoying. I also never got used to the seat and found it uncomfortable even with padded shorts. The tread I love! It was an easy process to order online and select delivery window. The classes range from walking to hiking to running to interval training and more. The screen is large and has great picture quality because some of the hikes are scenic routes through different countries. The auto incline and decline is fantastic to be hands free and the dial for adjusting speed is easy to use. I bought after factory fans from Amazon that are on each side of the tread for added air since I get hot and sweaty pretty quickly. Obviously with any Peloton equipment the app is an extra monthly cost, but I feel the content is always fresh with good music and trainers to pick from. I’ve had the bike for about 3 years and the tread for 6 months and don’t regret the purchases but they were different a splurge.
Don't have the bike, but I enjoyed the workout classes I've streamed! Just wish I had the money to use it consistently.

I have been using a Peloton Bike for years and have had a Peloton tread for one year and use the iOS app a lot. The hardware is great and really high quality. Bike+ feels worth the price and the instructors and music are all really enjoyable. There is someone for everyone.
Feedback
The tread is very large, very heavy and not easy to move. I had to change the room it was in and had to disassemble it because it was too wide to fit through the door. There weren't great instructions on how to do this either.
Honestly…a tough one for me. It’s a good, well made bike…but the fact that I have to pay more $$ every month for classes after dropping lots of $$ on the bike? Bummer.
Feedback
More free classes included without subscription.
Tried this in their store when they had a workout event and I loved the energy and community built on this bike! I felt like I was actually immersed in the mountains when we were riding with the other folks, the shoes were definitely comfy to ride in I’ll take those to soul cycle next
