Peloton App is the strongest paid class library here, and you do not need a Peloton bike to use it. The app page lists more than 15 workout types, from strength, Pilates and yoga to cycling, running, rowing, walking, outdoor sessions and meditation, with thousands of live and on-demand classes. Peloton IQ, an AI feature, builds personalized workout plans and suggests next steps, and goal-based programs, artist series and challenges keep the schedule varied. You can schedule, stack and bookmark classes, filter by length and music, and track stats on the Apple Watch app or with a heart rate monitor. Workouts stream to a TV through Apple TV, AirPlay or Chromecast. Pricing has two tiers: App One at $12.99 a month covers strength, yoga, meditation, outdoor running and gym workouts plus 3 cardio equipment classes a month, while App+ at $28.99 adds unlimited classes on any bike, treadmill or rower. New members get 30 days free.
