Company

Company overview

Peloton Interactive sells fitness equipment that connects users to its classes, software and workout features. Equipment owners pay for All-Access membership to use these services on Peloton hardware and apps, with access shared across household profiles; Pro Series equipment requires a separate subscription for each item. Customers can also pay for standalone app memberships, but these do not unlock classes or performance tracking on Peloton equipment. Recurring subscriptions bring in most of the company's revenue, while equipment sales provide another substantial share.

Peloton also sells Peloton- and Precor-branded equipment and related services to commercial operators, including gyms, hotels and corporate facilities. It is expanding this business by bringing Precor and Peloton for Business together in its Commercial Business Unit.

The business depends on keeping members engaged and renewing: most subscribers pay month to month and can cancel at any time. Peloton produces instructor-led content in New York and London, and pays music rights holders royalties to use music in its programming. Some music licenses require consent for new initiatives that use the licensed content. Equipment supply also leans on contract manufacturers, often with a single supplier for a product or critical component and no qualified replacement manufacturer beyond its key partners.

Peloton’s results depend more on keeping paying fitness subscribers and winning new members against home workouts, studio classes and fitness clubs than on the broader sporting-goods businesses shown here.
