Apps Like Peloton: Best Fitness and Workout Alternatives

Peloton’s All-Access membership now costs $49.99/month and the free tier is gone. Here are fitness apps that deliver studio-quality workouts — including completely free options — without locking you into proprietary equipment.

Why People Look for Peloton Alternatives

Subscription costs escalated sharply in October 2025 — the All-Access membership rose from $44 to $49.99/month, App+ from $24 to $28.99/month, and App One from $12.99 to $15.99/month. A household paying for equipment access now spends $600/year just on the subscription.
The lower-tier App One plan ($12.99/month) limits users to just 3 cycling, treadmill, and rowing classes per month — making it nearly useless for regular cardio training without upgrading to App+.
Peloton killed its free tier entirely, eliminating the entry point that let users try limited content without a credit card. Every competitor listed below offers either a free tier or a free trial.
The hardware ecosystem creates lock-in — Peloton bikes and treads are designed to work best with Peloton’s own subscription, and without it, the equipment becomes an expensive coat rack with only basic "Just Ride" mode available.

In October 2025, Peloton raised prices across all tiers — All-Access went from $44 to $49.99/month, App+ from $24 to $28.99, and App One from $12.99 to $15.99. The company also killed the free tier entirely. The increases came as Peloton continued restructuring after years of declining hardware sales and post-pandemic subscriber losses.
