This Bestselling Peloton Dupe Is 50% Off for Prime Day

We’re long out of quarantine but at-home workouts are here to stay. While Peloton is one fitness company that catapulted into cult fandom in the early days of the pandemic as people flocked to exercise equipment that would keep them in shape during lockdown, some may have avoided the hype because of the hefty price tag, not to mention dozens of reported incidents that have caused the unicorn company to frequently recall their most popular devices. After a massive recall of their Peloton Tread+ in 2021, Peloton ordered another recall of 2.2 million issues of its PL01 model after users reported breaking seats earlier this year.

Luckily, there is no lack of competing companies that can offer identical features. Really, Peloton’s cultish following comes down to three basic premises: an attached LCD tablet that allows you to stream your favorite workout classes (including the ones provided on their connected app), high-resistance wheels for a sweaty workout and customizable options that prioritize comfort. The good news is that you don’t have to spend upwards of $4,000 to get those same benefits from other machines, and you can always stream Peloton’s beloved online classes from non-Peloton equipment.

So whether you’ve recently returned your Tread+ or are delving into the world of at-home treadmills and spin bikes for the first time, here are the best Peloton dupes we found online  — all on sale for under $1,000 for Prime Day.

NordicTrack Commercial Studio Cycle (50% Off)

The NordicTrack is more expensive than the Echelon and Bowflex but you get what you pay for with the S1Fi, which boasts even more features than even the most comprehensive Peloton bikes. Headlining features include a mechanical shaft that’s used to simulate the actual inclines and declines of hills, while virtual ride instructors from the connected app can remotely adjust your speed, incline and resistance levels so you don’t have to worry about the control panel while riding.  

Echelon Smart Connect Bike EX3 (36% Off)

The Echelon is probably the most affordable Peloton dupe that comes at a fraction of the cost of competitors without losing the main markers of a good at-home workout bike. For only $750, the EX3 offers hardware that’s up to par with Peloton, thanks to a 22-inch LCD screen, 32 levels of silent magnetic resistance and a 30-day free trial to their Echelon Premiere Membership with access to more than 30,000 on-demand classes. 

Bowflex Treadmill Series ($325 Off)

Just like Peloton, the Bowflex prioritizes interactive training, with Bluetooth connectivity that allows users to sync with the Bowflex JRNY app for individualized workouts, fitness assessments and virtual coaching. Despite being a foldable at-home treadmill, it features all the high-end features of a commercial model, like a 4.0 CHP motor, a Comfort Tech cushioning system and a durable 3-ply belt. Like the Horizon, it works best if you’re able to bring your own tech to the table; its back-lit LCD display is only nine inches wide so you’ll have a more immersive, Peloton-like experience if you have a larger tablet to set up on the display.
