Peloton Launches Commercial Line, Raises Prices To Reignite Growth

Peloton is betting on a major product overhaul and higher prices to revive growth ahead of the holiday season.

The fitness company on Wednesday unveiled a refreshed lineup of bikes, treadmills, and rowing machines, featuring upgraded processors, stronger WiFi, improved audio, and AI-powered tracking cameras.

A new “cross training” series aims to combine cardio, strength, yoga, and meditation in a seamless experience, with swivel screens and voice controls designed to fix long-standing user complaints.

Membership costs will also rise, with all-access plans increasing to $49.99 a month, while hardware prices are climbing by several hundred dollars across the board.

Peloton is simultaneously launching a Pro Series of commercial-grade equipment for hotels, gyms, and corporate wellness centers. Executives say the commercial business is returning to growth and acts as a marketing funnel for consumer sales.

The push comes as Peloton seeks to rebound from years of safety recalls, weak demand, and mounting losses.
