What it does
The Peloton App provides instructor-led classes for activities including strength, yoga, running and cardio. It offers live and on-demand workouts, activity records and membership options for different uses of exercise equipment.
Begin by deciding whether you want equipment-free sessions or classes for a bike, treadmill or rower. The official page distinguishes App One and App+ access, with different equipment-class allowances. Owners of Peloton equipment are directed to All-Access membership instead.
This matters more than choosing a class from its photograph: the membership needs to match how you will exercise. Sessions vary in length, and the app includes progress views and shared teams. The site offers an introductory trial for new members. Review the membership comparison for your setup before starting that trial.
App One includes three cardio-equipment classes per month, while App+ provides the broader equipment-class access. The new-member trial requires a credit card and must be cancelled before it ends to avoid renewal.
