Did you know that you can still enjoy Peloton classes without owning a Peloton bike? While the brand’s ads might make it seem like you need their equipment to access their content, the truth is you can use the Peloton app with any compatible bike. I’ve been using the app with my Bowflex C6 for over four years and have found it to be a great alternative for those who don’t want to invest in a Peloton bike.
I miss the days when Peloton offered full access to their platform for under $13 a month. Those were the golden days of unlimited cycling classes. Now, they have introduced multiple membership tiers, which has changed the game a bit. In this post, I’ll walk you through everything you need to know about using the Peloton app with a non-Peloton bike and how the new membership options affect your experience.
One thing that hasn’t changed over the years is the energy and positivity of the instructors. My favorites, like Olivia Amato and Kendall Toole, are still around, and the app continues to bring in new talent. However, the features and limitations now depend on your chosen membership plan.
The Peloton app is available on smartphones, tablets, and Smart TVs. It also works with select smartwatches, including Apple, Galaxy, and Samsung. You'll need an internet connection to stream any content, and the app is compatible with Android TV OS 7 or higher.
There are three membership levels: Free, App One, and App+. The free version gives you access to some basic classes, but not all are in English. App One offers three cycling classes per month, while App+ gives you unlimited access. The price difference is significant—$12.99 for App One and $24 for App+.
If you're into strength training, yoga, HIIT, or outdoor running, all memberships provide access to these types of workouts. The higher-tier plans offer exclusive classes, leaderboard access, and more features like real-time cadence tracking (only available on App+).
Beyond cycling, the app includes a wide variety of classes such as meditation, rowing, and stretching. New features like "Just Work Out" let you track non-Peloton activities, and "Peloton Gym" provides step-by-step weight training routines.
For those who track fitness metrics, the app connects with smartwatches and even Fitbit. However, cadence tracking is only available on the top-tier plan. If you already have a bike with a cadence monitor, this isn't a big issue.
When choosing a bike, look for one that pairs well with the Peloton app. The Bowflex C6 was a good fit for me because it didn’t come with a monitor and was affordable. Some bikes, like the Exchelon EX-15, also support Peloton integration.
If you're considering other apps, there are alternatives like Sufferfest, Strava, and Apple Fitness. Many bikes support multiple platforms, so it's worth checking what’s available.
To decide which plan suits you best, take advantage of the 30-day free trial. This will help you determine if the limited classes on App One are enough or if you need the flexibility of App+.
Overall, if you’re serious about your workouts and love the Peloton instructors, the app is still worth the investment. Even at $24 a month, it delivers high-quality content and a motivating environment that few other platforms can match.
