Researchers are constantly finding additional benefits to exercising. A fitness routine can help prevent a variety of physical conditions, as well as improve mental health. Last year, Peloton announced that, for the first time, the company would partner with Amazon to help broaden its customer base.

Peloton Interactive was founded over a decade ago. After raising nearly 4 million dollars in seed money throughout 2012, the company sold its first bike for $1,500 on Kickstarter in 2013. A year later, the company released its first internet-connected bike. This revolutionary idea made it possible for people to take studio-quality classes in their own homes. There was an explosion in sales. The Peloton bike became so popular that the brand name became synonymous with the product, much in the way facial tissues are called Kleenex.
Over the next few years, the beloved fitness company grew. It released a treadmill, strength training accessories, fitness apparel and more. A brand once known for its innovative exercise bikes became comprehensive yet exclusive. A one-stop supplier for everything you need to work out in your own home.
In 2019, the company had its first ripple of trouble. Copyrighted music was used without proper synchronization licenses in its videos. Then, a controversial ad meant to be a celebration of personal achievement was interpreted by some to be superficial. Also, some prominent TV show plotlines portrayed Peloton in a less-than-flattering light.
These struggles eventually impacted the company, though its products' quality never diminished. Major shake-ups culminated in CEO John Foley stepping down from his position in 2022. This began a period of Peloton testing new price structures. The consumer was treated to purchasing options that could result in a savings of several hundred dollars.
