Peloton App Review (EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW!)
Peloton App Review (EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW!) // Wonder if it’s worth it to use the Peloton App without the Peloton Bike or Peloton Tread? In this video, I figure that out for you. Watch as I provide an in-depth walkthrough around the entire Peloton Digital App so you know about all its features and exactly what to expect. Also, I try out the Strength, Cardio HIIT, Meditation, Stretching, Outdoor Running and Yoga classes.
You can use this app on an iPhone, Android, iPad, tablet, Smart TV using Apple TV, Roku, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV and computer.
If you own an Apple Watch or heart rate monitor, you can also use it to track and monitor your heart rate.

This review is on point. Everything I needed to know, was answered-thank you!!
Thanks, Holly!
I am absolutely loving the at home workouts. I like using body weight and some dumbbells for my workouts to save space. The workouts are amazing and student / veteran discounts are a nice touch.
Does the veteran discount apply if I am only interested in the app subscription? Reading their website it reads as if it only applies if you purchase their equipment as well.
Great review! Your improvements suggested are great. I agree! I also wish they had a function where I can prewatch the video without it being added to the list of my workouts. I like to plan my workouts in advance to see if the exercises performed are suitable (due to injury). A list of exercises included in the description would be beneficial for this as well. Great review! All in all I love the app, too.
Very helpful video, thank you so much!
Thank you this was super helpful!!
Thank you! Just downloaded it and wanted to a little tutorial and you delivered.
Thank you, Sonia! Glad I could help. Have fun!
Great review, thanks. I have been using the app for 2 months and love the classes , you have shown me features I didn’t realize it had. One question…. I go away to remote Australian regions without phone coverage and have tried “preloading” workouts but the don’t work without mobile coverage. Am I doing something wrong or is this something Pelaton doesn’t allow, I could always take my Les Mills classes off line when I was a member. Thanks again.
This is an amazing review!
Thanks so much, Rob! Glad it could help!
Just downloaded the app!!! Easy and fun to use. I look forward to the strength class
Yes!!!! Have fun with it! Lots of great activities!
Nice review!!! I like the recommendation for key word search! That’s a good one!!! And yes the badges!!!!! It’s like an adult sticker chart! I love it! I’m in like 3 challenges right now!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks, Jill! Yeah, on the bike there’s a search bar, but not on the app! Hahahha. Nice! Can’t wait to check them out when my shoes come in!
This is a helpful review. I watched a bunch and they didn't give the info you provided. Thank you!
Thanks, Reed Ranch Life! Glad I could help. Happy New Year!
Great review!
Thanks, Rior Style!
Brilliant review thanks. Trying to decide on this or the new Apple fitness +
Thanks, Aly! I’d say if you’re a big Apple fan and already own an Apple Watch and Apple TV, then you’d have a lot of fun with Apple Fitness+. However, the Peloton has more compatibility with other devices like smart TVs, computers, live classes and a social component.
I would prefer apple fitness+ as to keep more of life in that ecosystem. But I do not enjoy wearing a watch and it’s only way to do the fitness classes from Apple.
Also having an iPad/iPhone Mini screen size sucks. Peloton webapp is just the same and syncs with my phone / Apple health so that has been a plus. I’ve tried every at home workout app at this point haha.
Can you do a group call and ride with your friends with the app? Or do you need the full bike etc?
I wonder if there are any strength classes using kettle bells.
Awesome review. The New Year is coming up, so I’m trying to convince my parents (both overweight) to try the app out as there’s a 2-month free trial promotion going on right now. Both instantly denied wanting to do it (figures right lol?), but my mom has done yoga in the past and misses it... so this is the perfect opportunity. Again, awesome review. I always appreciate when creators take the time to segment their videos, although I watched the full video in this case.
Hey, Faulk Smash! Thanks! That’s so awesome of you to encourage your parents to get into a healthy lifestyle. I think with the way technology is now and the access we have, the barrier to exciting ways to move and exercise has been reduced. So I’m glad to hear yoga is something your mom wants to pursue; there’s a lot of options here! I appreciate your comments! Makes making all these in-depth videos certainly worth while. Happy New Year!
@@KevTheTrainer After 20 minutes of convincing, the mother is on board haha! Thanks, you have a great New Year as well! :)
Thanks :)
How does this app compare with the Beachbody on Demand app?
I know you don’t have the leaderboard in the app, but does it show you where you place in the class like out of everyone who has ever taken it? Maybe you answered this, quite done with the video lol
After dropping $800 on my IC4, that $13/month sounds pretty painful. Thanks for the great info.
Would love to know your thoughts on the Fitbod app.
Hey, The Irvs! That's actually coming up soon on my list of exercise apps to review. That, Aaptiv, Nike Training Club, etc. Since you requested it, I'll have that one up first!
What about a galaxy watch?
Hey Kev, question on the Apple Watch heart rate showing on the peloton app screen. How do you get this to work? I tried adding my watch as the heart rate sensor from the app but it wouldn't find my watch. I opened the peloton app on my watch but no heart rate was reading. I ended up just doing the workout app on the Apple Watch the track my workout. Any tips on getting my Apple Watch heart rate to sync with pelaton app and get it to show on screen? Otherwise I'm considering buying a separate heart rate sensor. I'm using a Schwinn IC3 bike with the Peloton digital app. I've used the app on my iPad, on my iPhone air playing to my tv, and directly from my tv with the Apple TV.
Hey Angela! The watch will pair only with your iPhone since that’s what your Apple Watch connects to. Unfortunately, this won’t work on Apple TV or the iPad. To pair your Apple Watch to the Peloton App on your iPhone, go to the app and on the bottom right tap “More” and there should be an option to pair the two. Since Apple Watch pairing can be frustrating with the Peloton app across devices, I’ve opted to just track the exercise on my watch by selecting the appropriate activity “Indoor Cycling” “HIIT”, etc. Hope that helps!
@@KevTheTrainer Thanks so much Kevin, i eventually figured this out! I also learned that I have to use the "screen mirror" instead of "airplay" to get the heart rate and cadence sensor to show when displaying on my TV. thank you!
Awesome to hear! Glad it all worked out!
Are the same features available for both Android and Apple? Some of the app reviews indicated that Android users missed some features. Thanks for mentioning the limitations with connecting to a FitBit.
Hey, House of Schenck! I unfortunately don’t have an Android to see what’s currently there/missing, but through some research, the features that were said to be missing from Android are on iOS are: ability to preload classes for offline use, GPS tracking and outdoor metrics. An update in late 2020 allowed for Badges, Leaderboard Rankings, Mileage Traveled and PRs earned. So I’d say most of the features missing relate to metrics and achievements. Other than that, class and experience wise, things should be identical. I hope that helps!
@@KevTheTrainer That's definitely helpful. Thanks!
@@houseofschenck6230 happy to help!
If you are using a Pro From, and the included ifit app expires. Is it possible to transisiton the Peleton app on these machines?
Hey Michelle! People I know who have non-Peloton bikes but use the Peloton app broadcast the app on their phone/tablet/TV, but not the actual machine monitor itself since it doesn’t act as an external display for other apps.
My challenges tab is not on my app. Is this because I use my android phone? The only way I can view my challenges, friends, and tags is if I go on the website on my browser.
Hey Brittany! Unfortunately, that’s likely the case :(. It seems that the Peloton App on Android is more limited than iOS.
It seems that if you have the app only can you view the scenic rides? I cannot find any but people can view them on the peloton bike screen.
Hey, Monica! Are you asking if scenic rides are available on the Peloton app?
@@KevTheTrainer yes. I found them under featured 👍🏻
Lol u answered my question in 5 secs no bike streams
I’m glad! ☺️
Ive seen so many ads recently and i wanted to see what it's all about
Glad I could show you!
Watching this whole eating Cheetos
Crunchy, puff or hot?!
6:50 - that's horrible that Peloton allows a terrorist group on their trending tags. Same on Peloton!!! I will never use their app again cause I love my country.
