### 4/5 — Love!... but skip the F bombs please!

*2026-08-25, version 15.131.0*

Several workouts I've been in the groove and then slammed with the language.  Please, keep it clean!

### 3/5 — Core product is great but it’s surrounded by mediocrity

*2026-08-22, version 15.130.0*

The rides and content are great, integration of iPhone, Apple Watch, their focus on great exercise content and trainers is fantastic. The bike and tread work great and are high quality.

In home service is expensive and terrible. $299 expert home installation for the $6k tread plus.

They only deliver in a few weekdays a week same every week no flexibility. When they get here.

 Q “how do you maintain it?” 

Answer “no idea we just deliver it”

The app is good but is focused on their popularity and what they want to you to see

If you leave the apps to look at something else it goes to back to the beginning

Always guessing where I need to go to desk top, bike or app

### 2/5 — Great if it works

*2026-08-19, version 15.130.0*

Once again pause, my workout came back, and it was unpause, and my metrics were dwindling. So frustrating to try and track your progress on an app that doesn’t function well but more importantly. Has no functionality allowing you to correct it if need be. Meaning remove a portion of the workout that was in error. Just the opportunity the workout so that your data isn’t skewed, but I’ve made this ask before and it just doesn’t matter to Peloton.

### 3/5 — App bugs

*2026-08-17, version 15.130.0*

- Stop resetting Bookmarks page cursor to top of page. The Bookmarks page cursor keeps resetting to the top of the page when you briefly navigate off. This forces me to have to scroll down to reach the intended class

- Live schedule takes a good 5 seconds to load, way longer than before

### 2/5 — Latest version breaks Garmin integration

*2026-08-17, version 15.130.0*

Only first ride of the day will sync to Garmin. Definitely a regression.

### 3/5 — Watch App

*2026-08-13, version 15.130.0*

Watch app is a battery drain and often won’t quit, reopening by itself even when iPhone app isn’t active.

### 5/5 — Beginner run

*2026-08-03, version 15.129.0*

Thank you for this class. It’s soooo good for beginners, it’s stopped making running scary for a peri menopausal woman!

### 5/5 — Purpose

*2026-07-31, version 15.129.0*

Since joining Peloton every class I’ve taken has been created with intention, leaving me with simply purpose.

### 5/5 — Best body ever!!!

*2026-07-29, version 15.129.0*

This is a great way to train and have fun! The instructors are the best and they would most likely be one of your best friends! My family and I love this and you would probably love it too!!!!

### 5/5 — FTP / Powerzones needs major help

*2026-07-26, version 15.128.1*

I adore Peloton. It changed my life. Overall, it is wonderful. 

The one weak spot is FTP and Powerzone implementation. For something so central to the experience it is oddly strangely buried, frozen in beta release mode. 

FTP ought to be front and center, used for motivation. The experience is so close to perfect! How can y'all stand leaving it half-baked?

### 1/5 — What a joke

*2026-08-26, version 15.131.0*

You need to pay 29/mo just to be able to watch netflix/disney+ on top of those subscriptions. It costs them nothing to be able to allow us to access them in just ride. I dont care about leader boards. I dont care about the lessons. I just want to be anle to watch netflix while i ride on my peloton. I brought the bike during covid and have since stopped using it and wanted to get back in to it.

### 1/5 — The Worst

*2026-08-26, version 15.131.0*

Peloton lost all of my account information. Charged me to create another account. Wouldn’t let me use my old information as they said it was in use but claimed they couldn’t find my old account. Tech support is from India and could barely understand anything. Tech support basically gave up and said they couldn’t find my precious account that Peloton charged two days before the account was lost. 5 years of workout history gone because Peloton’s tech is garbage.

### 1/5 — Ehhh

*2026-08-23, version 15.130.0*

I star cuz its hard and im weak

### 1/5 — Distance off

*2026-08-23, version 15.130.0*

This rating is for the distance tracker. I thought I was going crazy when I would use the peloton app to track my running distance. This thing is way off. I ran the same route with onyx backcountry and apple and peleton. Peloton was off by more than .6 of a mile. This is a pretty large error by the app. Any suggestions?

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-08-17, version 15.130.0*

Terrible plan subs always pushing to add more subs
Doesn’t connect via Bluetooth, heart rate also doesn’t connect w Apple Watch. Terrible.

### 1/5 — No pace for outdoor workouts on watch

*2026-08-13, version 15.130.0*

I had to come on here to leave a negative review- to maybe get someone’s attention. The fact that you pace is not available on your watch during an outdoor walk/run/cycle is insane. Need an update to correct this ASAP

### 1/5 — Forced all access subscription

*2026-08-09, version 15.129.0*

All I have is the peloton bike and that’s all I want to use. Why am I forced to pay $50 a month for an all access that I’m not going to use? I literally just want to use the programs on the screen that came with the bike.

### 1/5 — Please fix issues with Apple Watch syncing

*2026-08-09, version 15.129.0*

There’s nothing more frustrating than starting a ride after you’ve launched the app on your Watch and tapped connect and started the ride and you’re minutes in and come to find out the app is not synced with the bike and sometimes it will eventually connect but then the workout only starts tracking from THAT point forward (eg for your Strive and Apple Watch logs which at this point won’t be accurate since they’re missing the time up to this point). How you have an executive in charge FROM APPLE and this is such an issue - make it make sense! How can you solve this since we’ve had multiple updates and no solutions, I’ve got you - EASY FIX: how about BEFORE a workout begins an explicit popup that lets you know your Apple Watch is not paired/synced. This could be an opportunity to force a connection and fix whatever issue is preventing the handshake from happening properly. Additionally, there could be an option to “don’t remind me about this again” for those who don’t want this popup. Not even on your payroll and I’m working for you! 

Edit: this just happened AGAIN. Finished a warm up ride. Went to a normal ride and the Peloton app is stuck in the previous workout even though I’ve closed that completely out and started a new ride. The only option is to disconnect and whether workout data is lost or not - shoulder shrug cus as far as the app is concerned the workout never ended and you just brute disconnected from it. This is incredibly frustrating and deserves some serious attention.

Update 2: please improve the export data too. Why have all this information and different data points yet when someone wants to export said data you severely water it down and exclude things like the Strive score?

Update 3: this just happened again tonight I’m 10 minutes in and wondering why I don’t see my Strive score and it’s because the sync failed yet again. FML. Why can’t yall figure this out it’s be very annoying and some of us are trying to be accountable and need these logs and training data for trainers. I am starting to see why Peloton struggles with subscriptions and the crazy part is you have the loyal user base you just have a garbage syncing experience that throws a boomerang in it. At this point I might as well go use a Startrac bike at the gym with the Apple workout app because that always works with no problems. And costs me nothing!

### 1/5 — Programs don’t progress

*2026-08-08, version 15.129.0*

I was trying to do the beginner strength program which I was enjoying. However, it does not allow you to progress to the next class. It does not let you skip classes although other programs do this one just seems to have a bug. It’s very annoying and disappointing that you’re paying for workouts and you can’t even use them. Please fix this!!!

### 1/5 — Recent Update

*2026-07-30, version 15.129.0*

Bike and Peloton Guide now does not sync with Apple Watch since update.

### 5/5 — Changed my life

*2026-08-23, version 15.130.0*

There isn’t enough room here to tell you how Peloton has changed my life. The Road to Half Marathon program has literally changed my whole mind and body. It was so expertly programmed it has made me into an elite, addicted runner.  Filling in with split programs has made me physically more strong as well.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-18, version 15.130.0*

This app has everything. I love the strength but there’s yoga Pilates kettlebell barre and more. The best part is how easily you can search for what you want and get on with your workout in seconds.

### 5/5 — Great coaches

*2026-08-16, version 15.130.0*

Really love the positivity from the coaches and the fellow riders.

### 5/5 — Zacharias is the best

*2026-08-14, version 15.130.0*

Zacharias is the best

### 5/5 — More interaction

*2026-08-13, version 15.130.0*

They should add goal reminders and notifications

### 5/5 — ( :

*2026-08-10, version 15.129.0*

Love these peloton workouts!!!

### 5/5 — Cambios reales y rutinas que funciona.

*2026-08-08, version 15.129.0*

Hola a todos . Estoy muy contenta con Pelotón 
Todas las rutinas me están funcionando. Al principio parece difícil pero tu cuerpo se adapta y agradece cada rutina. Se las recomiendo probé otras antes pero me quedo con Pelotón sin duda son las mejores rutinas.

### 5/5 — Peloton  1

*2026-08-07, version 15.129.0*

I have used a few apps and this is by far my favorite. More than just a bike. I use dumbbells but I also incorporate my barbell for some of the Olympic lifts. Utilized the Pilates and stretching classes when I was recovering from an Achilles tear.

### 5/5 — August 4/26

*2026-08-04, version 15.129.0*

I started for the first time yesterday and today I was ready to go. I am looking forward to the changes in my body.

### 5/5 — Absolute love

*2026-08-03, version 15.129.0*

Loving the array of classes and instructors. The reminders have really helped and encouraged me to get back on track with my health and activity.
