You do not need Peloton-branded equipment
Because the App Membership is not tied to any specific hardware, you can follow the same well-known instructor-led classes using a regular treadmill, any stationary bike, or just a mat on the floor at home.
The leaderboard turns a solo workout into a shared one
During a live class, the leaderboard ranks participants by output in real time, which is why many members say a live session feels more motivating than working out to a recording alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take cycling classes without a Peloton bike?
Yes. With the App Membership, you can follow along on any regular stationary bike β a Peloton bike is not required.
How does the leaderboard work?
It ranks everyone currently in a live class by real-time output, so you can see how your effort compares to other participants as the class happens.
