Virtual fitness giant Peloton recently partnered with Roku to make its Peloton App available on the streaming platform in Canada. The announcement is the company's fourth streaming service launch after making its content available on platforms like Android TV and Apple TV -- in an effort to make it even more accessible to the masses.
With Roku, Peloton members can now access studio-style strength training, yoga, HIIT, cardio and stretching workouts from the comfort of their own home while also getting a chance to access the brand's renowned cycling workout series as well as guided meditation sessions. The virtual workout sessions are not only more convenient than a traditional gym and safer during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic but also help boost motivation with gamified features.
Launched on Roku this past May, Peloton's interactive fitness content can now be accessed through a free 30 day trial offered to users in Canada.
