• Zip will be available as the new buy now, pay later option for Peloton products in Australia, from April 13
• Zip Money will be available to use on purchases of the Peloton Bike, Peloton Bike+ and Peloton Tread, with up to 43 months interest free

Leading Australian buy now pay later (BNPL) provider Zip has forged an exciting new agreement with Peloton in Australia, the trailblazing fitness platform that has been making waves worldwide. Peloton is on a mission to empower Aussies to embrace a healthier and more active lifestyle and from today, customers have increased access to their world-class fitness products through Zip.

Australians can now benefit from an innovative financing option through Zip on new purchases of the Peloton Bike and Bike+, as well as the newly launched Peloton Tread. Through Zip Money, shoppers can enjoy 43 months of interest-free payments, and credit limits of up to $10,000. Customers also have the flexibility to spread out the cost of their purchase over a customisable payment schedule.

Zip users have shown an increased desire in prioritising their health and wellness aspirations, with spending on gym and fitness equipment and sporting goods seeing an increase of almost 24% in the last half of 2022. Spending on gym and fitness centres was also up a whopping 108%.¹ 

“We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Peloton in Australia, and offer Zip customers a flexible and transparent financing option for Peloton’s products. By giving customers the ability to achieve their fitness goals in a way that best suits their financial needs with 43 months interest free, we are giving them the confidence to spend on the things that matter most to them,” said Cynthia Scott, CEO of Zip ANZ.

“This is also incredibly timely, with shifts in spending habits and preferences in a post-pandemic world becoming the new norm. For many, that means incorporating online workout subscriptions and at-home sports equipment into their fitness routines, over traditional gym memberships,” said Ms Scott.

“Peloton’s mission is to help people be the best version of themselves by making it easier to access world-class fitness and wellness content, removing many of the physical and mental barriers to exercising. Australians will now have the opportunity to purchase our leading connected fitness products using Zip Money giving them the opportunity to buy now, pay later,” said Amanda Gilmore, Country Manager, Peloton Australia. 

“Since expanding our global operations to Australia in July 2021, Peloton has quickly been embraced by Aussies who’s love of fitness, technology and music has seen a huge uptake in our leading connected fitness products. Our entertainment-led content offers motivating, metric-driven workouts to curated playlists from the world’s best artists – all taught by a roster of elite instructors from around the globe. With the launch of our newest cardio machine, the Peloton Tread, we look forward to supporting more Australians on their individual fitness journeys, enabling people to exercise from the convenience and comfort of their home – or wherever and whenever they choose to workout.” 

Peloton’s interactive fitness platform offers a range of motivating workouts, including cycling, running, strength, yoga, and more. This combined with its innovative hardware and entertainment-led content, enables customers to conveniently access live and on-demand classes and track their progress, so they can workout anytime, anywhere. Since launching in July 2021, Peloton Australia has rapidly grown its customer base across the country, with many Australians turning to at-home fitness solutions to reach their goals.
