Peloton Gift Ideas: A Gift Guide for Peloton Lovers Updated

I’ve just updated this post on Peloton gift ideas for the Peloton obsessed person aka Peloton lovers in your life. Originally written a few years ago, I wanted to ensure that the gift ideas I recommend are still in stock. They are.

This article includes ideas for various holidays, including Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Valentine’s Day and, if you’re planning ahead, Peloton Christmas ornament options that you can find on Etsy.

This post is for anyone looking for gifts for someone with a Peloton cycle or Tread. As a fellow pelo-addict, I can tell you this: I think I’ve found the best gifts for Peloton riders or Peloton users or gifts for Peloton lovers like me. 

How do I know? Because if you only gave me Peloton gifts for my birthday or on Valentine’s Day or during the holiday season, you would make me so happy. Speaking of holidays, I’ll continue to update this blog post to reflect upcoming holidays, such as Mother’s Day and Father’s Day in the spring and Christmas and Chanukah in the fall/winter. 

Gifts for Peloton owners

As someone who has written more than a dozen books related to gifts and etiquette, among other topics, I have a secret to share. One of the best ways to give someone the perfect gift is to give them something that helps them enjoy their hobbies more.

In the past I have always appreciated any gifts that are dog-related. Being a dog mom and all, I love anything that helps me love spending more time with my dogs.

Best gifts for Peloton riders

But since the Peloton came into our life in 2016, you can add Peloton gifts to my wish list. Perhaps you’ve read my review of the must-have Peloton bike accessories.

I know you can get some great ideas for gifts for Peloton riders in that article. This is especially true if you’re looking for cycling gadget gifts like the best or coolest Peloton heart rate monitor. I’ve got tons of ideas for gifts for someone with a Peloton.

However, in this Peloton gift guide, I’m taking a slightly different approach. This time around I’m highlighting fun, quirky cycling gifts along with practical ideas that are also unique and innovative. I believe I’ve pulled together some of the best gifts for Peloton riders. If you’re looking for Peloton milestone gifts or the best gifts for Peloton users, this list can help you, for sure!

Finally, here are ideas if you’re looking for gifts centered around Peloton instructor quotes.

Gift ideas for all kinds of Peloton users

For starters, I’ll offer ideas on ladies cycling gifts. Also, I’ll suggest bicycle themed gifts for men. I’m confident you’ll love my suggestions on gifts for Peloton users and riders.

Finally, those of you searching for gift ideas for a Peloton rider, be sure you’re spelling Peloton correctly in your search. This will help you narrow down the right gift ideas. 

Here are the spellings I’ve seen:

• peleton
• pelaton
• peliton
• pelton
• pelatron
• pentalon
• pendleton

Just so you know it is P-E-L-O-T-O-N.

Peloton gift ideas

In this guide to the best gifts for Peloton riders or Peloton lovers, I’ve broken out ideas based on a theme. For example, I know that many Peloton users (myself include) find inspiration in instructor quotes.

I’ve tried to find Peloton gift ideas that will really resonate with Peloton lovers like myself.  

Meal kits that Peloton users recommend

Many people get a Peloton to help them lose weight. As I learned the hard way–and until I signed up with the Noom weight loss program–you can exercise for hours a day, but if you’re putting crap food in your mouth, you won’t lose weight.

One of the ways to start cooking healthier is to sign up for a meal kit service. Well, certain ones that don’t have you preparing dinners with macronutrients for an entire day, let alone a meal.

I asked around on social media what the meal kits were that Peloton users recommend. Here’s what I found out–and which ones I would recommend giving as a gift to a Peloton lover you know who may want to try out meal kits.

HelloFresh meal kit

I wrote about our love for Hello Fresh in this blog post about the best meal kit companies. It makes total sense that this would be a meal kit that Peloton users would love and recommend. 

You can also give HelloFresh meal kit gift cards in a variety of denominations.

Clothing, accessory and Peloton shirt gifts

The Peloton boutique used to offer a line of Peloton apparel featuring instructor quotes on the clothing. This would have been a great gift for Peloton riders or a gift for Peloton lovers. They do have friendship bracelets featured some favorite Peloton quotes, as part of the Little Word Project. Here are few of them.

But as far as shirts with quotes on them, I’ve had to turn to Amazon and Etsy to find Peloton inspired apparel with these instructor quotes.

I’ve done my best to highlight clothing, quotes and other goodies inspired by some of Peloton’s most popular instructors. This includes where you can find the popular XOXO Cody shirts and apparel. (Hint: check them out on Etsy!)

I’d also like to add to the list my favorites for inspirational quotes or sentiments. That would be Jenn Sherman–“Just F*cking Do It”(#JFDI is the hashtag Peloton users put under their leaderboard name). For example, here are JFDI leggings on Etsy.

In fact, that’s what the shirt says in this picture I took with Jenn Sherman at the Peloton Studios. She called it an OG shirt!

Also, I’m a Peloton shortie, and I’m taller than Jenn Sherman is. That’s how tiny she is in real life. I had no idea.

Have you seen my blog post devoted entirely to gift ideas that feature Peloton instructor quotes? I hope you’ll check it out.

Big news: now you can buy Peloton apparel on Amazon.

Quotes, sayings and Peloton inspiration

It’s true that the shirts I’ve included above all have Peloton quotes, sayings and inspiration. But they’re not the only gifts for Peloton lovers that you can buy.

I’ve tracked down Peloton wall art and decor that also include quotes or sayings or other general inspiration items that will resonate with a Peloton user.

Some of these feature words from favorite instructors–Robin Arzon, Ally Love, Cody Rigsby, Jess Sims and Christine D’Ercole, just to name a few.

I Make Suggestions, You Make Decisions

Decorate your Peloton area

One of the joys of owning the bike is decorating your Peloton area. You can do it with stickers, decals and more. This includes your leaderboard name. In fact, I found a number of Leaderboard name inspired wall decals on Etsy.

You can even get a Peloton screen cover or screen protector for your Peloton bike. I found one featuring your favorite Pelo-saying or instructor hashtag.

There is also a Peloton towel for your bike–not you but your bike. It protects the chain guard from your sweat. In addition, you can order cute little clips to hang your Peloton bike shoes off the back of your bike.

Finally, I’ve got ideas for a Peloton shelf and storage. In my Peloton area, I love these metal mesh file baskets. They can hold so much and help keep things organized and neat.

Shoe Storage

I get a lot of questions about shoe storage options. Chances are, if you’ve got a Peloton lover on your gift list, they may need help with shoe storage, too. Here’s a simple way to store shoes: a rack that hangs from the back of the OG bike.

Here is a picture of my ATP Sports shoe rack with my husband and my shoes on it, just so you can see how it works in real life.

Peloton Christmas ornament

When I search on Etsy for a Peloton ornament, I get lots of results. I’ve highlighted some of them here.

If you’re looking for Peloton Christmas rides, you’ll need to look under themed classes.

Other gift ideas for Peloton riders

In researching this article, I came across a number of gift ideas that didn’t really fit into one category.

One, it could have been Peloton gear for your car. For example, I recently treated myself to this Peloton magnet for my car. I got it on Amazon.

Peloton milestone gifts

Or, since people like to celebrate Peloton milestones, did you know there is a milestone collection now on the Peloton Boutique? They’re still mostly for reaching your Century Ride or 100 classes taken in a single discipline.

However, here’s a great addition: Peloton is selling milestone merch like Welcome to the comma club aka your 1,000 ride or whatnot. Here’s what these new (and not so new) shirts look like.

How to gift a Peloton subscription

Wondering if you can give the gift of Peloton digital subscription? Well, Peloton doesn’t make it easy but I finally figured it out. This is how you give the gift of a Peloton subscription.

First, if you read my review of the Peloton digital app, then you know you can try it for 30 days for free.

So, what if you want to share the gift of a Peloton subscription with someone who doesn’t have a bike or Tread? You can do that through an Apple Gift Card.

A gift card for a Peloton gift subscription

Basically, this is how it works. Since you download the Peloton app from the Apple App Store, you can “gift” someone a Peloton subscription if you give them an Apple gift card. You can buy Apple gift cards at many retailers, including online at Amazon.

You can determine how much you want to put on the Apple gift card–enough for a whole year of Peloton or just a few months. From what I can tell, Apple gift cards start at $50.

Then, you give the person the gift card with a note that you’d love to share the gift of a Peloton subscription with them. Maybe you want to slip some Peloton apparel in with the gift card.

So, can you gift a Peloton subscription? Yes, using this Apple gift card hack.

Unfortunately, you cannot control if the gift recipient uses the Apple gift card to pay for a Peloton digital subscription.

Also, unfortunately, you cannot use a Peloton gift card to pay for a Peloton gift subscription.

However, you can use a Peloton gift card to buy Peloton apparel from the Peloton boutique–online or in person at one of the Peloton showrooms.

Or Peloton apparel on Amazon.
