Peloton, the popular connected fitness company, is expanding its Peloton Rental program to Canada. This program allows Canadians in select provinces to rent the Peloton Bike and Peloton Bike+ on a month-to-month basis, without long-term commitment.
The rental program starts at $129 CAD/month for the original Peloton Bike and $169 CAD/month for the Peloton Bike+. It's available to Canadians in all regions where Peloton currently delivers. The rental fee includes a Peloton Membership, granting access to their extensive library of live and on-demand classes across 14 fitness modalities.
Daegan Benison, General Manager of Peloton Rental, highlighted the program's success in the US, with 60% of renters saying they wouldn't have joined Peloton without this flexible offering. Expansion into the Canadian market was a logical next step in growing the rental program and increasing brand accessibility.
Current rental pricing includes a $250 one-time setup fee, with the Peloton Bike and All Access Membership at $129 CAD/month, and the Peloton Bike+ and All Access Membership at $169 CAD/month. Renters can opt to buy out their hardware or end their rental at any time, with Peloton offering free pickup for the Bike or Bike+ during the process, ensuring ultimate flexibility.
