A Versatile Workout Option Designed for Every Level

If you’re a Peloton enthusiast or someone looking to elevate their home workouts, you’ve probably come across Peloton dumbbells. These thoughtfully designed weights are more than just workout tools; they’re an integral part of the Peloton experience, optimized for comfort, versatility, and performance. Let’s break down everything you need to know about Peloton dumbbells, from their designs to the benefits they offer.

Sizes and Shapes Made for Every Strength Level

Peloton dumbbells are available in a variety of weights, making them an excellent choice for users of all fitness levels. They come in increments ranging from 5 lb to 30 lbs. This range allows you to start light and gradually increase the intensity of your workouts as you build strength. (Lighter neoprene-covered weights from 1 lb – 5 lbs are also available and are appropriate for use on the Bike for Arms and Light Weights or Interval Ride classes.)

One standout feature? The square-shaped ends. Unlike traditional round dumbbells, the square design ensures they won’t roll away between sets, making them perfect for at-home use. Whether you’re doing strength training or HIIT classes, this design adds peace of mind to your routine.

Materials Built to Last

These premium dumbbells feature a cast-iron core for durability, wrapped in a non-slip urethane coating that ensures a secure grip. The coating not only prevents slipping during sweaty sessions but also protects your floors from scratches or damage if dropped. This makes Peloton dumbbells a practical choice for anyone who works out at home.

A Look at the Old and New Designs

Peloton has refined the design of its dumbbells over time, putting ease of use and safety at the forefront. While older models featured a more traditional hexaganal/rounded shape, newer models (released around 2022) adopted the square design for added stability and functionality. This subtle upgrade makes a big difference for home workouts, showcasing Peloton’s commitment to constant innovation.

Why the Square Shape is a Game Changer

Wondering what’s so special about that square shape? While it may seem like a small detail, it provides several benefits. The flat ends keep the weights stable on the ground, so you can confidently incorporate exercises like renegade rows and goblet squats into your routine. Additionally, the shape helps during storage, keeping your dumbbells neatly in place without rolling around.

Classes That Utilize Peloton Dumbbells

Peloton dumbbells pair perfectly with the platform’s Strength and Cardio Classes. Strength-focused sessions, such as Arms & Shoulders Strength or Full Body Strength, make great use of these weights, while classes like Bootcamps incorporate dumbbells into cycling, running, walking and hiking for an added challenge. Peloton’s On-Demand library gives you endless ways to use your dumbbells effectively, no matter your fitness goals.

Even better, Peloton Guide, their AI-powered strength training device, integrates with the dumbbells to provide real-time feedback, ensuring proper form and progression during workouts.

Don’t Forget the New Strength+ App

Even though the neat new Strength + App is designed to help users make the most of their other gym equipment, dumbbells can still take center stage in the customized workouts or preprogrammed sets.

Benefits of Using Peloton Dumbbells vs. Other Brands

Why pick Peloton dumbbells over other brands? For starters, the design and functionality are tailored specifically for Peloton classes, ensuring you get the best overall experience. Additionally, the durability of Peloton dumbbells stands out. The high-quality materials mean they’ll last longer, even with frequent use. And then there’s the little details, like the urethane coating and square ends, that cater to both beginner and advanced users. These are weights made for you and your home gym.

Plus, if you love a tidy mat like Andy Speer, isn’t it nice to have matching weights? In a recent TS 60 class, he gave his heaviest weights to a member, resulting in his setup being a tad messy looking. Luckily, his Production Team came to the rescue with a replacement set!

Where to Buy Peloton Dumbbells

Looking to grab a set (or two!) of Peloton dumbbells? Here are your best options:

• Peloton Online – at onepeloton.com or the Peloton Apparel site
• Nordstrom
• Target
• Amazon
• Your local TJX store (TJMaxx, Marshalls, and Sierra Trading Post) for discounted items

Note, Peloton has been quietly closing its standalone retail stores so purchasing direct and in person is no longer an option… read about that AND some pitfalls to be aware of when shopping for Peloton accessories at off-price stores in our Podcast Episode from January 10, 2025.

Curious about some of these retail partnerships? We’ve got the scoop on Nordstrom and Target, two new developments from 2024! Peloton also has deals with Costco and Dick’s Sporting Goods, but currently those retailers are not selling weights alone, only select Bikes/Treads/Rows and the Guide.

Should You Add Peloton Dumbbells to Your Gym?

If stability, durability, and design matter to you, Peloton dumbbells are worth it, to help you achieve that sleek workout room look. Perfect for folks just getting started with weights as well as veteran lifters, these weights seamlessly blend with your routine while elevating your exercise experience.
