Workout history preserved if you resubscribe
Must cancel via web browser, not the app. Without subscription, Peloton hardware still works as a basic bike/treadmill with limited free content.
You can lower your Peloton costs by using the free tier, checking your health insurance wellness benefits, or switching to annual billing. At $44.00/month, Peloton adds up to $528.00 per year — but most subscribers pay more than they need to. Here are the best strategies to reduce what you spend on Peloton in 2026.

Equipment owners (Bike, Tread, Row) have the most leverage — Peloton knows their hardware is worthless without the membership. The more expensive your hardware, the stronger your position.

Do I actually need this fitness subscription?
Use this framework to evaluate whether Peloton is worth keeping.
Using it 3+ times per week consistently
Keep it — regular use means strong value. Check for annual plan savings.
Using it 1–2 times per week
Calculate cost-per-session. At $30/mo and 6 uses, that's $5/session — compare to alternatives like free YouTube workouts or a cheaper app.
Signed up in January but usage dropped off
Cancel now. The 'I'll start again' trap costs the average person $200+/year. You can always resubscribe when motivation returns.
Paying for both an app AND a gym membership
Pick one. If your gym has on-demand classes, you likely don't need a separate app. If you work out at home, you likely don't need the gym.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Peloton worth paying for?
At $44.00/month, Peloton is worth it if you use it at least 3-4 times per week. Compare the cost to a gym membership ($30-60/month) or personal training ($50-150/session). If you exercise less than twice a week, the free tier or YouTube workouts may be sufficient.
How can I lower my Peloton cost?
Switch to annual billing for 30-50% savings, check if your health insurance covers fitness app subscriptions through wellness programs, look for student discounts, and consider whether the free tier meets your basic needs.
What are free alternatives to Peloton?
Free fitness alternatives include YouTube workout channels (Fitness Blender, POPSUGAR), Nike Training Club free tier, Apple Fitness+ (included with Apple Watch), and free meditation apps like Insight Timer. Many fitness apps also offer generous free tiers with basic workout libraries.
How do I cancel Peloton?
Cancel through your account settings on the Peloton website or app. If you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play, you'll need to cancel through your device's subscription settings instead. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period.
