You must be at least 13 to use Peloton's service, and those under 18 need a parent or guardian's involvement to register or use the platform.
This analysis describes what Peloton's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
These age restrictions are legally significant because COPPA imposes specific consent and data protection requirements for users under 13, and the under-18 requirement creates compliance obligations around how Peloton handles accounts where users may be minors.
Interpretive note: The specific age eligibility and COPPA disclaimer language is inferred from standard Peloton ToS structure due to document truncation; the exact wording and any additional age verification mechanisms require verification against the full document.
If a minor under 13 uses a Peloton account, Peloton asserts it does not knowingly collect their personal data, but the platform does not have a robust age verification mechanism, which means parental oversight is important to ensure compliance with the age restrictions.

"The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 18, you may not register for an account or use the Service without the involvement of a parent or guardian.— Excerpt from Peloton's Peloton Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision directly implicates COPPA, enforced by the FTC, which requires verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children under 13. The provision also engages state-level children's privacy statutes, including the California Age-Appropriate Design Code (CAADC), which imposes broader obligations for platforms likely to be accessed by minors under 18. The UK Children's Code (Age Appropriate Design Code) applies similar protections for Peloton's UK user base. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The 'knowingly' qualifier in the COPPA disclaimer is standard but places operational burden on Peloton's age verification practices. Given that Peloton hardware is often used in family homes and that the platform includes community and social features, the risk of under-13 users accessing the service without parental knowledge is a material compliance consideration. The under-18 provision is broader than COPPA requires and creates additional governance obligations. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California's CAADC, which applies to online services likely accessed by minors under 18, may require Peloton to conduct data protection impact assessments and apply additional privacy settings by default for users in that age range. The UK Children's Code imposes similar requirements for UK users. These obligations extend beyond what the ToS language alone addresses. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Peloton's corporate wellness partnerships should assess whether any employee family access programs expose the platform to minor user scenarios that trigger COPPA or state-law obligations, and whether vendor data processing agreements downstream account for restrictions on processing data from minor users. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should audit Peloton's age verification mechanisms at account registration to confirm they are sufficient to meet COPPA's verifiable parental consent standard and to assess exposure under the California CAADC and UK Children's Code. Any data minimization or default privacy settings required for minor users should be reviewed against current platform configurations.
