Conclusion

That’s all for my list of Peloton statistics in 2022.

Peloton is quickly taking off as a leader in the connected fitness category. The company is consistently adding new members. While continuing to invest in product innovations.

And Peloton recently announced the acquisition of fitness equipment manufacturer Precor for $420 million. The purchase likely signals a further step up in hardware production.

Now I’d like to hear from you:

Do you think Peloton is well-positioned for long-term growth? Where do they go next?

And maybe you’ve got some comments or suggestions about other things I could include in the roundup.

I read every comment, and I’d love to hear from you below.

    Just wanted to let you know, that these are amazing stats and thank you for putting them together!

    1. Brian Dean Avatar Brian Deansays:

      You’re welcome, Andrea.

  2. Great data. Fascinating actually. Did you find any data on how many bikes are repo’d? I have been curious about that stat. It will be interesting to see how the year over year comps now that people are getting back to the gym. Can the company maintain and continue this growth trajectory when the world opens back up – I doubt it.

    1. Brian Dean Avatar Brian Deansays:

      Hi Daniel, thank you. We actually couldn’t find much data on the resale market. But you’re right: it will be interesting to see how that goes this year.

  3. Thanks, I have always wondered about the app subscriptions vs connected memberships. I was going to buy the bike but didn’t understand why the subscription was so much more if you buy the hardware. So I bought another brand. Still, even with app only we love Peloton, both for cycling and HIIT. Other stats were also super interesting. Thanks

    1. Brian Dean Avatar Brian Deansays:

      You’re welcome, Stewart. Glad you found the stats useful.
