Peloton Guide is a virtual personal trainer for your living room, and costs far less than the company’s bikes and treadmills.
Peloton has released a new strength-training tool, Peloton Guide, which uses motion-tracking and AI to help monitor your movements and progress. It’s also surprisingly cheap at $495 / £450 / AU$750 for the device itself, plus a monthly membership fee of For $12.99 / £12.99 / AU$16.99 for classes. Peloton’s bikes and treadmills are enormously popular, but also famously expensive. The Guide (a voice-controlled camera equipped with motion sensors that connects to your TV) is far more affordable, and comes bundled with the new Peloton Heart Rate Band – a device that we’ve been expecting since Peloton acquired sports wearables company Atlas back in March this year. As you follow a workout on-screen, the Guide’s Smart Camera Technology will allow you to directly compare your form with that of the instructor in real time, allowing you to make changes and corrections on the fly.
