However, Peloton has hedged its bets with a hybrid approach. First, Peloton bought Precor as a return-to-the-gym play. The corporate wellness effort is another way to grow subscriptions amid hybrid work plans. Under the deal, UnitedHealthcare members will get access to Peloton on September 1. New and existing members are eligible also to enroll. UnitedHealthcare has more than 6 million commercial members. The Peloton access will be available through Peloton App, Peloton Bike, Bike+ or Tread+. Live and on-demand classes include cycling, strength, yoga, running, walking and meditation.
