Subscription Auto-Renewal — Peloton

Share 𝕏 Share in Share 🔒 PDF

What it is

Your Peloton subscription renews automatically every month (or year) and you will be charged the current rate unless you cancel before the renewal date — and Peloton can raise the price with notice on its website.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

You will be automatically charged for subscription renewal unless you cancel proactively, and Peloton may increase your subscription price — potentially without direct email or app notification — by simply posting the new rate on its website.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.

Cancel Subscription

Log into your Peloton account, go to Account Settings, select Subscriptions, and follow the cancellation flow before your next billing date to avoid being charged for the next period.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

If you forget to cancel, you will be charged for another subscription period even if you are no longer using the service, and price increases can take effect with minimal direct notification to you.

View original clause language

Your Peloton Membership will automatically renew at the end of each subscription period at the then-current subscription rate unless you cancel your subscription before the end of the current subscription period. Peloton reserves the right to change subscription fees upon reasonable notice. Such notice may be provided at any time by posting the changes to the Peloton website or the Service itself.
