Peloton - Fitness & Workouts
Can I use the Peloton app without owning a Peloton bike or treadmill?
Yes, absolutely. The app-only membership gives you access to thousands of classes including strength, running, yoga, meditation, and outdoor walking without needing any Peloton hardware. You just need a subscription at $12.99 per month.
How do I filter classes by music genre, instructor, or body focus?
In the app, use the search or browse section to apply filters like music genre, instructor name, class duration, or specific body part focus. This makes it easy to find exactly the workout you want from over 50 class types.
What should I do if the app crashes or audio desyncs during a workout?
If the app crashes mid-workout, try force-closing it and reopening, then resume your class. For audio desync issues on older workouts, try restarting the class or downloading it offline beforehand, as offline playback tends to be more stable.
Why does the search function not show results when I misspell an instructor's name?
The Peloton app's search is not very forgiving with typos and won't suggest corrections. To find a specific instructor, try typing their full name correctly or browse the instructor list directly from the class filter menu instead.
How does Peloton's app-only membership compare to other fitness apps like Apple Fitness+?
Peloton offers a much wider variety of class types—over 50, including boxing, prenatal yoga, and outdoor audio walks—compared to many competitors. At $12.99/month, it's slightly more expensive than some alternatives, but the instructor quality and live class schedule give it an edge for consistent users.
