Pelotons are a popular, trendy way to lose weight and get fit. However, when it comes to the moving process, it can be a pain because of their delicate screens, many parts, and heavy weight. On top of that, Pelotons are a sizable investment, so you definitely want to protect the money you’ve invested by keeping the equipment undamaged during a move.
What follows is our guide to moving a Peloton so that you can have peace of mind knowing your home gym equipment will make it to its new home safely.
Peloton bikes and treadmills can vary greatly in size, with some bikes weighing about 135 pounds, while treadmills can weigh up to 430 pounds.
As a result, you’ll want to carefully weigh your options when it comes to moving this cumbersome exercise equipment.
Start by considering whether you can move that much weight without hurting yourself. Even with a helping hand, you don’t want to risk your family or friends injuring themselves as you try to move your heavy Peloton treadmill. Professional movers will be your best option for avoiding injury.
In most cases, you’ll need to service your Peloton beforehand and prep it to be moved by professionals. Some moving companies may even want you to sign a liability waiver if you wish your Peloton to be moved as-is to your new location.
If you’ve already hired a professional moving company, contact it about your Peloton and ask what its team suggests. Most will want you to prepare the Peloton bike, which we’ll discuss in the next section. Ask your movers if they will insure your bike in case of damage or if they offer additional moving insurance for home gym equipment.
The best way to move a Peloton, whether you’re doing a DIY move or hiring professionals, is removing parts of your Peloton to reduce the weight and the risk of delicate parts being damaged.
Place all loose components neatly in a plastic bag and label. Secure the bag and pack it with your belongings.
After you’ve removed the touchscreen, pedals, weight holder, and bottle holder, take the following steps to protect your Peloton bike from damage during the move:
Here are a few quick tips to help you out when you’re moving your Peloton bike:
Peloton treadmills are significantly heavier than Peloton bikes and should not be moved by the average person.
Peloton says that consumers should not assemble, service, or move Peloton treadmills due to the potential hazard. As a result, if you choose to move the Peloton treadmill on your own, be aware that any damage that occurs is outside of your warranty.
So, how can you move a Peloton treadmill? Peloton has trained technicians who can professionally handle your treadmill safely. These technicians are trained to disassemble and reassemble your treadmill.
The prices for these services are:
These prices do not cover the cost of loading, moving, and unloading your Peloton treadmill. You’ll need to factor in the cost of hiring moving professionals, renting a moving truck or van, or moving the disassembled equipment into your vehicle.
Moving a Peloton exercise bike on your own can save you money. However, the risk of damage not covered by your warranty is worth considering. If you have a Peloton treadmill, we strongly recommend hiring Peloton professionals for the job, as they can be challenging and even dangerous to move on your own.
