What the Peloton range is
Peloton sells connected fitness equipment, including indoor bikes, treadmills and rowers, along with a class subscription. The machines work best with the subscription, which provides the live and on-demand classes. Peloton changes its range, prices and membership tiers from time to time, so check the current models and what each includes on Peloton's own site before you compare prices.
The price of the machine is only part of the cost, which is why a fair-price check should include the subscription.
The real cost: hardware plus membership
- The membership. Check the current monthly price and what each tier includes. Compare the machine's total cost over the time you expect to use it.
- What works without a membership. Check what the hardware does if you don't subscribe.
- Delivery and setup. Check whether delivery and assembly are included and what the space requirements are.
- Accessories. Shoes, weights, mats and other accessories can add to the total.
- The trial and return policy. Peloton publishes its return terms, so read the current ones and check whether they differ if you buy from a retailer such as Amazon.
Add the hardware, the membership over your expected use and any accessories to get a fair total, then compare that with a gym membership or a cheaper bike.

How to tell whether today's price is fair
We don't publish a price chart or a predicted price for the Peloton equipment on this page, because we can't back one up with recorded data here. What we can give you is a method that works for any product, and the free Zroppix extension that applies it for you on the Amazon page.
- Confirm the exact version. Model year, size, colour and bundle can each change the price. Read the title and the variant selector, not just the headline.
- Open the price history. Use the Zroppix extension (90-day history on Amazon pages) or another tracker such as CamelCamelCamel or Keepa. Where Amazon shows its own price history link, use that too.
- Compare today's price with the lowest in the window. At or near the low is a fair price. A big "percent off" badge on its own proves little, as our guide to sale badges explains.
- Check who sells it. Amazon or the brand is safest. Compare against the manufacturer's own site, which may run separate promotions.
- Set an alert if the price isn't right yet, and decide on your own timeline. Nobody can tell you what the price will do next.
Where to compare
Peloton sells directly, and retailers such as Amazon stock some of its equipment. Promotions, bundles, delivery and return terms can differ between sellers, so compare the full offer, including delivery, setup and the return window. Check the seller, since the warranty and return handling may depend on who sells it, and compare the exact model name on the listing.
Common mistakes when buying connected fitness equipment
- Ignoring the subscription. It can cost more over time than the discount saves.
- Mixing up models. Bike, Bike+ and Tread are different products.
- Trusting a "was" price. Compare against recorded price history.
- Not measuring the space. Check the size, ceiling height and delivery path.
- Not checking the return terms. Be sure how returns work with the seller you buy from.
