Peloton Looks to Jump-Start Growth by Becoming a Workplace Perk

(Bloomberg) -- Peloton Interactive Inc., the seller of upscale home-gym equipment, wants to be known as something else: a workplace perk.

The company is going after business clients — especially small and midsize firms — by making it easier for them to offer Peloton services to employees and customers. The push, called Peloton for Business, is an attempt to gain a bigger foothold in seven areas: hotels, corporate wellness, apartment buildings, education, health care and neighborhood gyms.

Peloton has been striving to broaden its focus after a post-pandemic slump ravaged its finances. Consumers have long associated the brand with in-home workouts, which became a problem after lockdowns eased and people headed back to offices and gyms. Peloton suffered an inventory glut, five straight quarters of sales declines and a stock rout that erased more than 90% of its value.

Under Chief Executive Officer Barry McCarthy — a veteran of Netflix Inc. and Spotify Technology SA who took charge last year — Peloton has been trying to meet customers where they are. That’s meant focusing more on its mobile app, which lets users do workouts without having to buy a Peloton bike or treadmill.

The business initiative is an extension of that strategy. Peloton is letting employers offer its app as a worker benefit, along with discounts on equipment and other features. The app usually costs consumers as much as $24 a month, depending on what options they sign up for.

As part of the push, Peloton is working with Sequoia to offer the benefit in that firm’s Wellbeing Bundles, a network of health and wellness providers.

Peloton also looks to sell more bikes to hotels, residential buildings and office gyms, which will offer them as a free perk. Already, the New York-based company made a deal with Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. to put 5,800 of its bikes in hotels. And it’s teaming up with the YMCA to get equipment into the nonprofit organization’s fitness centers.

    Chile's Codelco at risk of insolvency as debt grows, CESCO report says

    Chile's Codelco, the world's largest copper producer, is at risk of insolvency due to rising costs and a growing debt pile stemming from projects that missed output targets, Chile’s Centre for Copper and Mining Studies (CESCO) said in a report seen by Reuters. In a rare intervention, the influential industry body - funded by revenue from events it organises - said cost overruns on projects to upgrade five of Codelco's mines, known as "structural projects", could mean its debt is likely to reach $30 billion by 2030 from $18 billion now. "Codelco maintains a solid financial position and broad access to financial markets, as confirmed by our high credit rating," Codelco said in response to a request for comment.
