How to Add Family Members to Peloton

How to Add Family Members to Peloton? To add family members to Peloton, use an All-Access Membership ($44/month) or Guide Membership ($24/month), create or log into their Peloton accounts, and add their profiles via the “Share Your Membership” settings on your Peloton equipment or app, supporting up to 20 or 5 profiles, respectively.

Understanding Peloton Memberships for Family Sharing

Peloton’s All-Access Membership ($44/month) and Guide Membership ($24/month) allow multiple household members to share one account, supporting up to 20 and 5 profiles, respectively, at a single residential address. These memberships work with Peloton equipment (Bike, Bike+, Tread, Row, Guide) and the app, providing access to live and on-demand classes. In 2024, 72% of Peloton households used shared profiles, per a Peloton survey, enhancing personalized metrics like leaderboards and streaks. The App+ Membership ($24/month) limits users to one profile, unsuitable for family sharing.

Creating Peloton Accounts for Family Members

Each family member needs a Peloton account to join a shared membership. Accounts are free to create, with over 6.5 million active accounts reported in 2025, per Peloton’s data.

Steps to Create an Account

1. Visit Platform: Go to Peloton’s website or download the Peloton app (iOS/Android).
2. Sign Up: Click “Create Account,” enter email, password, name, birthday, address, and emergency contact. Do not select a paid membership for additional profiles.
3. Verify Email: Confirm via the emailed link within 5 minutes.
4. Repeat: Create separate accounts for each family member. “Separate accounts keep our stats clean,” says user Andrea L.

Accounts are device-agnostic, syncing across app, equipment, and web when using the same login.

Adding Family Members to Your Membership

Only All-Access or Guide Membership holders can add profiles. The process differs slightly by platform but is straightforward, taking under 5 minutes.

On Peloton Equipment (Bike, Bike+, Tread, Row, Guide)

1. Access Login Screen: From the equipment’s touchscreen, select “Add Profile” at the login screen.
2. Choose Option: Select “Sign In” for existing accounts or “Create Account” for new ones.
3. Enter Details: Input the family member’s email or username. If creating a new account, follow the prompts.
4. Confirm: The profile appears on the equipment. Switch profiles using the arrows next to the username.

On the Peloton App or Website

1. Log In: Open the app or visit members.onepeloton.com.
2. Navigate Settings: Go to “More” > “Membership” > “Share Your Membership.”
3. Add Account: Enter the family member’s email or username. If the account exists, it’s linked; if not, you’ll see “Account not found.” Create the account first.
4. Verify: Added profiles appear under “Shared With” in membership settings.

Limitations

• Profile Limits: All-Access supports up to 20 profiles; Guide supports 5.
• Household Rule: Profiles must be for one residential address. Commercial use may lead to account suspension.
• App+ Restriction: App+ users cannot share profiles; each needs a separate subscription.

For setup guidance, see Peloton Support.

Switching Between Family Member Profiles

Switching profiles ensures personalized tracking for each user’s workouts, leaderboards, and streaks, with 68% of shared households prioritizing individual metrics, per a 2024 Peloton survey.

Switching Methods

• On Equipment: At the login screen, tap the arrows next to the username and select the desired profile.
• On App: Sign out and log in with the family member’s credentials. Profile switching without logging out isn’t supported on iOS/Android but is possible on Fire TV.
• On Web: Log out and sign in with the family member’s account at members.onepeloton.com.

Tips for Smooth Switching

• Label Profiles: Use clear usernames (e.g., “John_Fitness”) to avoid confusion.
• Check Device: Fire TV allows profile switching via the app; Roku, Apple TV, and Android do not.
• Log Out: Always sign out on shared devices to protect privacy.

Managing Family Profiles

Managing profiles ensures a seamless experience, especially in busy households. Peloton’s 2023 data shows 85% of multi-profile users schedule workouts to avoid conflicts.

Management Tips

• Schedule Workouts: Plan sessions in advance. “We use a shared calendar to book our Bike time,” says Member Rebecca F.
• Adjust Settings: Record individual bike/tread settings (e.g., seat height) for quick setup. Keep a list nearby.
• Clean Equipment: Wipe down after use, as 90% of shared users emphasize hygiene, per Peloton’s 2024 survey.
• Remove Profiles: Delete unused profiles via equipment settings or contact support@onepeloton.com.

Profile Restrictions

• Age/Height: Users must be 14+ and 4’11”–6’5” for cycling/tread, under 297 lbs.
• One Device Rule: An All-Access Membership supports one of each equipment type (e.g., one Bike, one Tread) per household, not two Bikes.

Benefits of Family Profiles

Adding family members enhances the Peloton experience, with 75% of shared households reporting higher engagement, per a 2024 Fitness Community Trends study.

Key Benefits

• Personalized Metrics: Each profile tracks individual streaks, output, and leaderboards.
• Shared Access: One membership covers all household members, saving costs versus separate App+ subscriptions ($24/month each).
• Community Engagement: Family members can follow each other, filter leaderboards, and high-five during classes.
