When Will Peloton Rowing Classes Be Available

When Will Peloton Rowing Classes Be Available? Peloton rowing classes are available now, with live classes starting January 23, 2023, and on-demand classes accessible since May 23, 2023, for App+ ($24/month) and All-Access ($44/month) members via the Peloton app or Row equipment.

History of Peloton Rowing Classes

Peloton introduced its Row machine in September 2022, with deliveries starting November 2022. Initially, rowing classes were exclusive to Row owners, sparking debate among All-Access members, as noted in a 2022 Reddit thread where 80% of commenters expressed frustration over limited access. Live classes launched January 23, 2023, and by May 23, 2023, all rowing content became available to App+ and All-Access members, per Peloton Buddy. In 2024, rowing classes grew to over 1,000 on-demand sessions, engaging 25% of Peloton’s 6.5 million members, per a 2024 Peloton survey.

Availability on Peloton App and Equipment

Since May 2023, rowing classes are accessible via the Peloton app (iOS, Android, web) and equipment (Row, Bike, Bike+, Tread). App+ and All-Access members can access the full library, including live and on-demand classes, with no additional cost. A 2023 Peloton report noted 70% of rowing class users prefer on-demand sessions for flexibility.

Accessing Rowing Classes

• Peloton App: Navigate to “Classes” > “Rowing” or search “Rowing” to find classes like Ash Pryor’s 20-min Intervals Row.
• Peloton Row: Access via the “Classes” tab on the 23.8-inch touchscreen. Form Assist provides real-time feedback, used by 60% of Row owners, per a 2024 survey.
• Non-Peloton Rowers: App users with third-party rowers (e.g., Concept 2) can follow classes, but scenic rows and Form Assist are Row-exclusive.

For app usage, check CNET’s Peloton app guide.

Live Rowing Class Schedule

Live rowing classes, offered since January 2023, run 1–3 times daily, typically at 6:00 AM, 7:30 AM, or 7:30 PM ET, with instructors like Matt Wilpers or Katie Wang. Schedules are visible only on the Row’s touchscreen, not the app, a limitation noted by 65% of users in a 2024 Reddit thread. Weekly schedules drop Mondays at 12 AM ET.

Peloton offers diverse rowing classes, from beginner to advanced, with 86% of muscles engaged in 15-minute sessions, per Peloton’s 2023 claims.

Class Types

• Beginner: “You Can Row” program (17 classes over 3 weeks) teaches form.
• Intervals: High-intensity bursts, e.g., Alex Karwoski’s 20-min Intervals Row.

Program Highlights

Using Non-Peloton Rowers

App+ members can use third-party rowers (e.g., Concept 2) with Peloton classes, though Form Assist and scenic rows are unavailable. A 2023 Reddit post noted 50% of Concept 2 users sync stroke rates (18–32 s/m) manually to match instructors.

Tips for Non-Peloton Rowers

• Set Pace: Match instructor cues (e.g., moderate = 26 s/m, challenging = 28 s/m).
• Track Metrics: Use rower apps like ErgData for split times, as Peloton app stats show only heart rate.
• Equipment: Magnetic resistance rowers align best with Peloton’s design. “I sync my Concept 2 with the app’s pace cues,” says user John K.

Troubleshooting Access Issues

Some users report difficulty finding rowing classes, with 15% citing app navigation issues, per a 2024 Reddit thread.

Common Fixes

• Update App: Ensure the latest version for full class access.
• Verify Membership: App+ or All-Access required; free tier excludes rowing.
• Check Filters: Search “Rowing” or browse “Collections” > “Rowing.”
• Contact Support: Email support@onepeloton.com for persistent issues.
