Peloton reviews and discussion

Reviews mention

  • Engaging, charismatic instructors
  • Extensive, evolving class library
  • Sturdy, smooth ride hardware
  • Motivating, community-driven platform
  • Uncomfortable, rigid bike saddle
  • High, recurring membership fees
  • Occasional clunky software updates
  • Inconsistent hardware longevity

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 the brand and the product, particularly the app. Quality and innovation are both there, and the variety of classes is unmatched. I am excited to see where Peloton goes.

  • love the peloton when it was a part of my standard routine. pretty easy to fall out of the habit if it's not built into your day but once it is it's pretty addicting. it feels like a high-quality experience, i'd recommend getting the shoes that clip in if you end up biking a lot. my sister used the app for workouts but i mainly used the bike. i got to know which genres of music, length of workout, and trainers i liked and then stick with them. made me feel super fit, increased my appetite, was doing the 45-min workouts every weekday. no breakages or low-quality parts of the product or complaints of that nature

    probably a bit expensive my family shared it and i didn't pay for it but i'd have to evaluate if it was worth it if i got it for myself

  • Using the app the instructors are great the selection is great and the products while expensive are great

    Feedback

    I wish there were more Pilates classes!

  • I love my Peloton Tread! It is not only the equipment that is high quality, but the motivation behind the live classes and connecting with friends who also use peloton that will make me a forever customer!

    Better shipping times

  • We are a multi-Peloton family, owning the bike and treadmill. The treadmill doesn't get as much love as it deserves. The quick jumps make this a powerful product for someone that likes sprints and HIIT classes. I love the variety of classes and instructors. I would recommend it to anyone interested in at-home-fitness.

  • absolutely amazing- gets me moving and exercising every day because it is so much fun and rewarding

    Feedback

    more zumba/dance classes would be awesome!

  • Not wallet friendly but if you can stomach the bill, it’s a great experience. I have gotten into cycling on the peloton and off because of this bike. Alex Toussaint is the man, and Cody is a great change up.

    Lower the price of the monthly subscription if possible, the bike is already a steep ticket on its own.

  • I have to say the beauty of Peloton for me isn’t so much the technology but the talent … they knew what they had with Robin being a special superstar and immediately offered her share in the company. The personalities and motivating instructors is what they have over all the competition and I’ll be a user as long as it stays that way

  • I really love Peloton. It saved my life during COVID. Their instructors are amazing (Robyn is my fave) and they are constantly putting out a TON of new content. The bike itself is super well made and I love how little space it takes up. I love the workouts I've had on this bike. It's 10000x better than having to get up and go to the gym, in my opinion!

    Feedback

    I wish their monthly app subscription wasn't so expensive... I mean I get it, it's essentially a gym membership fee, but it's a hard pill to swallow after you fork out over $2k for the bike itself.

  • Really enjoy the rides they have and the various workouts to keep me on track.

    Feedback

    Wish they had more palates classes using different types of equipment they don't sell - like sliding discs and foam roller stuff. I also wish they would bring back the video feature when riding with friends.

  • Take the classes regularly and love them

    Feedback

    Greater variety in the types of workouts

  • Great instructors, tons of content, quality bike.

    Feedback

    Very pricey.

  • Peloton bike and tread have transformed my workout routine and have made it so easy and enjoyable to squeeze in a workout in the luxury of my home. I haven't taken a class and disliked any instructor. The app allows for many more workouts for strength, yoga, pilates and more. Although pricey, I definitely thing you get your money's worth. Great quality.

  • I have a Peloton bike and also actively use their app for other classes (yoga, strength, stretching, etc.). I would definitely recommend Peloton if you can afford it, but it definitely is a bit pricy compared to other things out there!

    Feedback

    It's frustrating that if you own the bike (or tread) your monthly subscription costs more than if you don't own the bike.

  • I’m a huge Peloton fan!! Would recommend for anyone debating taking the leap

    Feedback

    The price point of equipment and/or resale shopping

  • Obsessed. Full disclosure - I am a motivated ex-college athlete that loves fitness. The instructors, the classes, the music - the whole package is incredible and fun and I know has helped me gain fitness.

  • I use my peloton daily! Love the variety of works outs from strength, bike rides to yoga. Great instructors and fun classes

  • I love my Peloton! The work out is what you make of it and I like that. Some days I want to work harder than others, but still get ymy heart rate up.

  • I mean this brand speaks for itself. Love my bike and the app were I am able to join online classes.
