How to Get a Peloton Membership Discount

There’s more of an incentive than ever to find ways to save on a Peloton membership. That’s why I tracked down a number of legit ways to save on your Peloton subscription fees as well as Peloton equipment or workout accessories. Let me explain.

How do you get a Peloton membership discount?

The first way to get a Peloton membership discount is actually something you share with friends. It is a Peloton free trial called Guest Pass.

It’s a way for you to share a 60 90-day free trial of a Peloton membership with friends and family. This is good for people who have never had a Peloton membership before.

Here is information on how to cancel your Peloton free trial.

Newest Peloton Chase Sapphire deal

The next way you can save on a Peloton membership requires that you have a Chase Sapphire card. This offer goes through 2025.

Here are the details from Peloton:

Peloton membership discounts by profession

At first only nurses and certain healthcare workers could get a Peloton membership discount on the purchase of equipment. However, Peloton has expanded this healthcare worker discount to include veterinarians and other medical techs.

Discounts for medical personnel

In fact, here is an expanded list of which healthcare professionals qualify for this Peloton discount:

• Doctors
• Nurses
• Behavioral Health & Social Service
• Chiropractor
• Dental Provider
• Dietary & Nutritional Service Provider
• Emergency Medical Service Provider
• Eye, and Vision Services
• Nursing Services
• Pharmacists
• Podiatry
• Respiratory Service Providers, such as respiratory therapists
• Developmental Service Providers
• Rehabilitative Service Providers
• Restorative Service Providers
• Speech, Language and Hearing Technologists & Technicians
• Physician Assistants
• Clerical and Administrative Support
• Veterinarians
• Veterinary Assistants

In addition, now Peloton has expanded that discount–on a Peloton equipment accessories package or an app-only membership–to many more professions.

Also, Peloton says that these offers are “void where prohibited” but doesn’t explain what might prohibit someone in one of these professions from qualifying for a discount on a Peloton purchase.

Military Peloton membership discount

One, there is a Peloton membership discount for members of the military.

This military discount is for:

• Active Duty
• Reserve
• Veteran
• Retiree
• Immediate Family

Peloton First responder membership discount

Two, there is a Peloton first responder membership discount. This includes a Peloton law enforcement discount, plus discounts for the following:

• EMT
• EMS
• Firefighter
• Police officers or other Law Enforcement professionals

Educator and Peloton teacher discount

Three, there is an education-related membership discount.

This is for K-12 teachers. It also covers those working in higher education, such as college professors. I’m told this is a discount available in the United States only.

What I’m not sure about, with this Peloton teacher discount, if it applies to all educators. For example, if you work in a school but you’re not a teacher, per se.

This is a roundup of companies, including Peloton, that offer teacher discounts.

Peloton student discount

The aforementioned education discount on a Peloton membership isn’t just for people working in schools.

In fact, it is valid for college and university students, too.

This support page on the Peloton website explains how to get the discounted app membership.

Finally, if you’re interested in the discount on accessories when you buy a Peloton Bike, Bike+ or Peloton Tread, visit this Peloton support page for details.

New tiered app subscriptions

When Peloton introduced the tiered membership levels for the digital app, it affected the discounts for the professions mentioned above and what they received for their discounted subscription.

For example, it used to be that you just got a Peloton app subscription, full stop, and had access to live classes and on-demand fitness classes that Peloton instructors teach. And those mentioned above got the discounts. Now there are two levels to app membership and everything is so different:

• Peloton App One
• Peloton App

The App One costs $12.99 a month (without the discount). On the other hand, the full App costs $24.

Peloton App One

Here’s what’s included with a Peloton App One subscription:

• Strength classes plus, cardio, Pilates, yoga, meditation, outdoor walking and outdoor running, and stretching classes
• Activity tracking, live metrics, step-by-step Peloton Gym programs
• Three (3) cardio equipment classes per month, such as cycling, on the following: Bike/Bike+, Tread, and Row classes (Lanebreak and Scenic content, excluded)
• With the App One Membership, you will have access to three (3) cardio equipment classes. You will be notified each time you take a class, and a class is considered taken after 180 seconds. Failure to leave the class before 180 seconds will result in the class being considered taken for the month. Once a class is taken, it cannot be removed or replaced with another cardio equipment class. Please review our Membership Terms for more information.
• Peloton Programs and monthly Challenges
• AppleWatch® and WearOS by Google® stats
• Heart Rate Monitor connectivity

All of the discounted memberships have transitioned to the Peloton App One membership. You’ll notice that there is a limit to the number of hardware-related classes that you can take. So, if you were using the app to ride, run or row on your own equipment, now you will be limited to three classes per month.

App

Here’s what you get with a Peloton App subscription:

• Access to take as many classes as they want on the Peloton App platform, including Bike/Bike+, Tread, and Row classes, Exclusive classes, Peloton Programs, and monthly Challenges (excluding Lanebreak and Scenic classes, which are not offered on the Peloton App).
• Features include activity tracking, live metrics, Peloton Gym, AppleWatch® and WearOS Google® stats, Heart Rate Monitor connectivity, and more.

App discount has changed

Along with the change in the app membership benefits, Peloton has changed up the discounted price. It used to be that every group that was entitled to a discounted app membership paid the same price. Now it goes like this:

• $6.99 per month: University/College Students
• $9.99 per month: First Responders, Military, Educators, Medical

Military: Active Duty, Reserve, Veteran, Retiree, Immediate Family
First Responders: EMT, EMS, Firefighter, Police/Law Enforcement
Medical: Doctors, Nurses, Behavioral Health & Social Service, Chiropractor, Dental Provider, Dietary & Nutritional Service Provider, Emergency Medical Service Provider, Eye, and Vision Services, Nursing Services, Pharmacy, Podiatry, Respiratory, Developmental, Rehabilitative and Restorative Service Providers, Speech, Language and Hearing Technologists & Technicians, Physician Assistants, Clerical and Administrative support, Veterinarians and Veterinary Assistants
Educators: K-12 Teachers, Professors (US Only)
Students: University

Peloton promo code

This isn’t a membership discount but rather your own discount code. You can share it with others who are buying a Peloton.

They get $100 off an accessories package, not the purchase of a Peloton bike, Tread or rower.

In return, you get $100 in apparel credits. You can spend these credits on the Peloton apparel boutique.

However, this doesn’t work on the Peloton apparel boutique on Amazon.

How to find your shareable discount referral code

Here are my tips on how to find your referral code.

You’ll find your Peloton referral code under your profile on the Peloton website.

Not the app.

Nor is it on the bike or the Tread or the Peloton Row or the Peloton Guide.

It’s on the Peloton website only.

Where do I find my Peloton referral code

Previously, you would find your Peloton referral code under your profile on the Peloton website. However, now Peloton has changed where you’ll find that. Here are the steps you’ll take now on desktop.

1. Log into the Peloton website.
2. Look for your username and profile pic on the top of the page and next to it “My Membership.”
3. Click on My Membership and you’ll get a dropdown menu. Look for Profile and click on that.
4. On the next screen, look for the three horizontal lines or the hamburger menu on the top right. Click on that for a dropdown menu. Look for “Refer Friends” and tap on that.
5. A new window will open.

Now you’re on the referrals page. On the top is a “slider” that lets you move between sharing a referral for an app free trial and sharing your exclusive code to save on Peloton accessories. Click on the slider to get it to move from one side or another. This will give you access to the link you want to share.

How do I share my Peloton referral code with someone

It’s easy. As I mentioned above, once you get to the “Refer Friends” page, there will be a link you can share with people.

How to get a cheaper Peloton membership

If you’ve purchased a piece of Peloton hardware — treadmills, bikes or rower — then you’re already paying the full all-access membership and there’s just no way around it. This all-access membership covers up to 20 members of your household or, more likely, up to 20 different profiles on a single account/piece of hardware.

However, thanks to the folks at The Clip Out podcast, I learned of a Peloton membership hack that can get you a legit cheaper membership rate, with all the benefits of the most expensive one, without having a bike, treadmill or rower. Basically? Buy The Peloton Guide.

Cheaper membership option through Peloton Guide

So, how does this cheaper membership option work? Yes, you have to buy the Guide but that’s way less expensive than the hardware.

Next, if you buy the Guide and don’t own any other hardware, then you’ll need to get a Guide-only membership. Right now that costs $24 per month.

Here’s where the hack comes in: a Peloton Guide membership, which is $20 per month cheaper than an all-access membership, provides access to the entire Peloton class library. True, there is a Peloton App membership that costs the same ($24/month) and provides the same access level to Peloton content.

However, with an app-only membership, you get just one profile. On the other hand, with the Guide membership, you can have up to five people on the same account. So, if you have a household that wants access to Peloton content, such as rowing classes you can do using a Concept 2 rower, then the Guide membership makes way more sense.
