Peloton vs FitOn Workouts & Fitness Plans
Peloton offers a more immersive and diverse fitness experience, particularly for those invested in its ecosystem, while FitOn provides a highly accessible and affordable option with a strong free tier.
Peloton excels with its high-quality, motivating classes and instructors across various disciplines, though recent app stability issues are a concern. FitOn stands out for its extensive free content and affordability, but users report issues with casting to TVs and some frustrating UI elements.
Head to head
you are looking for a highly motivating and diverse fitness platform with a strong community, and are willing to invest in a premium experience, especially if you own Peloton hardware R14R37.
you prioritize affordability and a wide range of free workout content, and are comfortable with a mobile-first experience or paying for casting features R70.
Evidence note: Peloton's recent reviews are heavily skewed by critical app crashing issues, which impacts its reliability score. FitOn's free tier likely contributes to some negative reviews regarding paywalled features, as users expect more for free.

- [R5] Peloton Great app for everyone: I was using the peloton app simply for the bike and then threw on yoga and stretching my wife and kids. I just started doing the 20 minute weights workout, which is amazing as well. Not a lot of time wasted getting a mild sweat going targeted specific muscle groups daily.
- [R8] Peloton Personalized stacks: I would like a feature will personal generated stacks
- [R14] Peloton Peloton: Fitness & Workouts , Yoga, Cardio & Gym Training: The most enjoyable accessible addictive fitness platform I’ve ever used as in I just couldn’t finish off a day without getting a peloton class in
- [R17] Peloton Time in bike with Denis: Time spend with Denis is wonderful…his routine is difficult but doable, his music is spectacular, especially his choice of country! And he gets so into his leading both physically and emotionally…if you do not go with him, you are truly missing out…I have likely done close to 1000 rides with him!!!
- [R1] Peloton Barely had this app an hour 🙄 for my neurodivergent folks this is NOT for you: A friend told me about the app and I am beyond disappointed. The interface of the app does not cater to neurodivergent individuals. The app is beyond complicated. I did a quiz to create a plan. Tells you what to do on which days etc. I cannot locate that plan ANYWHERE for me to go back and review etc when I’m ready. Thi
- [R9] Peloton Playlists are gone for a majority of rides: Playlists are gone for the majority of rides. It would be really nice if I could at least see the genre of music tagged for those that don’t have a reference to it in the title.
- [R12] Peloton No convenient way to search programs: Cannot filter to find Programs that are relevant to me, even after following the trouble shooting tips online. This is basic stuff!
- [R44] Peloton Stack and Workout Schedule editing bugged since update 15.125.0: Please fix the new bugs, it’s very annoying not being able to edit my workout schedule or rearrange my stacked classes. The dragging and dropping feature of these is bugged.
- [R3] Peloton App not usable for 5 days: Peloton upgrade crashes the app on start up. Peloton identified the issue but the app is still broken still 5 days later. This is unacceptable. The fact that this is an identified issue and still broken 5 days later is insane. Where is the update?
- [R4] Peloton Please fix issues with Apple Watch syncing: There’s nothing more frustrating than starting a ride after you’ve launched the app on your phone and tapped connect and started the ride and you’re minutes in and come to find out the app is not synced with the bike and yes eventually it connects but then the workout app on Apple Watch only starts tracking from THAT point forward even though Peloton tra
- [R6] Peloton Crashing since last iOS update: Worked great until last iOS update. Now can crash every use…
- [R7] Peloton Constant Crashing - Unusable: After 26.5.2 update on iPhone, app crashes immediately or within a few seconds of startup. The app is currently unusable.
- [R42] Peloton Too Expensive: I really wanted to like the peloton bike + app but the subscription model completely ruined it for me. After spending a premium price on the bike itself, it’s ridiculous that so many features are locked behind yet another ridiculously high monthly fee. You’d think owning the bike would give you access to the basic functionality, but instead it feels like you’re renting a part of a p
- [R50] Peloton Bike is now paperweight: After paying thousands of dollars for a Peloton, they discontinued classes and bike is no longer anything more than a stationary bike. Don’t trust this company.
- [R53] FitOn Workouts & Fitness Plans FitOn General: Finally, a Pilates app where I can work on mobility, strength, and core without all the pushy premium subscriptions. It has a lot of a great selection of workouts for everyone and levels In the future, I would like to see pilates that focuses on hip mobility, strength, and core, and includes basic injury recovery after heavy lifting and tension
- [R60] FitOn Workouts & Fitness Plans Screen mirroring: Love this app but hate that it literally blocks you from screen mirroring to your tv :( I can’t afford internet right now let alone a premium subscription so it just sucks that I have to do it off of my tiny phone screen
- [R63] FitOn Workouts & Fitness Plans Lost Chromecast Functionality: Loved this app but it no longer works with Chromecast on iPhone (they switched casting function from AirPlay to Screen Mirroring). Watching on a tiny iPhone is NOT worth paying for…. Contacted support who insisted it was my devices or network, despite Chromecast working perfectly fine with literally every other app I own besides this one (make that make sense?). D
- [R74] FitOn Workouts & Fitness Plans No communication: I have sent in at least 5 request for help. I've been trying to figure out why my credits are not working. Prior to this issue and needing assistance, I thought the app was easy to use. So I guess as long as you have no issues that need to be addressed the app is fine.
- [R76] FitOn Workouts & Fitness Plans Auto renew hustle: I joined using Apple Pay. Only after I paid the subscription fee was I informed it auto renews. I did not approve this. I tried to contact the company. There is only a lame AI bot that informs you you can only cancel the paid subscription (no refund) to remove auto renew
- [R37] Peloton Want to change your life for the better?: Peloton is life. 3 years later l am still QUITE obsessed… plus there is literal. Something for everyone; of all ages, levels, accessibilities, lifestyles, music interests, etc. It’s totally worth giving Peloton a 1-3 month trial, what have you got to lose??
- [R64] FitOn Workouts & Fitness Plans Love: OK, so I have tried a lot of fitness apps Pilates so on, but this one has been on my phone for ever as I keep going back to it because it gives me a variety I can pick what I want a lot of free yes they I haven't tried them yet so I can't tell you how they are, but the workouts the train the variety 100% will always be on my phone no matter what I do
- [R70] FitOn Workouts & Fitness Plans Actually good fitness app developers seem: The free features are great themselves; free meal plans and phone workout videos. But they also offer 6 months free pro to students which is really great for encouraging healthy habits at this stage of life. I was really excited I could get the workout videos on my tv. The app developers seem like they really care about actually making a good app instead
- [R83] FitOn Workouts & Fitness Plans Beginner - keep it free IGNORE the ProAds: Seems a useful site if you navigate away from clicking on the constant ads to go Pro for premium rate ( although the current discount is fair) For Beginners to fitness routines you need to go slow, find the work outs that suit you and that you’ll keep up long-term. Keep it simple to get yourself going, warmup and warm down properly so you don’t hurt your
- [R21] Peloton Walking outside: Wow why didn’t I try this before I walk outside once a week to take my break from the bike how motivating to have Rebecca Kennedy and Olivia Amato. Music great encouragement great and help me stay focused and paced!
- [R33] Peloton Obsessed with my Peloton: I started my peloton journey doing the cycling and then realized I can work my entire body with this one app and explore things I previously not done before like yoga. It’s really helped me become consistent.!
- [R66] FitOn Workouts & Fitness Plans Kinda disgusting: I have back, wrist, and knee injuries. While attempting to maybe set preferences for workouts that don't rely on those parts of the body, it asked for my insurance information??? You do not need my insurance information to provide workouts that work for people with injuries.
- [R78] FitOn Workouts & Fitness Plans BEWARE!!!: So my mom recommended this app to me. Saying it was free . Not only does it throw upgrade flyers I. Your face at every turn and ads .but the scarier part I thought was interesting is that they had a rehab exercise section for lower back pain. I thought since I had been in a car accident in January. This might be a good option. Well it wouldn’t let me start the program unless I entere
