A Peek Inside the Peloton Apparel Sample Sale: One Day Left to Save Big

I spent part of my Saturday at the Peloton Apparel sample sale at 261 Fifth Avenue in New York City, and I am still doing the math on how much we really saved. As someone who shops Peloton Apparel sales online regularly, I know the price points and I know my sizes, and this sample sale beat both by a wide margin. Tomorrow, Sunday, August 30, is the last day, and there is still time to get in on it.

The Clip Out first covered this sample sale when it opened on Tuesday, noting that everything in the store is priced at $50 or under regardless of the original retail price. After walking the racks myself, that framing holds up, with additional markdowns added for the weekend. The event, run by 260 Sample Sale, marks Peloton Apparel’s debut with the pop-up retailer, and it spans the brand’s full range of gear, from Cycling and Running pieces to Strength, Yoga, and Pilates layers.

What We Found at the Peloton Apparel Sample Sale

The space is set up the way most sample sales are: rolling racks organized loosely by category, with staff straightening up as shoppers leave items behind. The team working the floor was genuinely lovely and quick to help, whether that meant tracking down a size or explaining how the pricing chart worked.

There is also a large open fitting room if you want to try things on, though most shoppers were not bothering with the extra step. People were pulling sweatshirts and tanks right over what they already had on, which made trying on much faster. If you are planning to go tomorrow, wear a tank top and leggings and skip the fitting room line entirely.

Weekend Markdowns at the Sample Sale

Prices dropped further heading into the final weekend, and a posted board broke out the new markdowns by category. On the women’s side, bras fell to $13, pullovers and hoodies to $16, full zip jackets to $16, and leggings and pants to $12. Terez quarter zips and Travis Mathew jackets came down to $25, shorts to $10.50, sleeveless tanks to $1, vests to $38, and dresses to $22.

Men’s pricing saw similar cuts. Pullovers dropped to $20, jackets to $35, leggings to $19, sweatpants to $12, short sleeve tees to $16, shorts to $18, and sleeveless tanks to $15. On the unisex and accessories side, hats and beanies fell to $4, fleece hoodies to $14, and ornaments to $1. There did not appear to be any socks, towels or Robin Arzon “Since 2013” tees remaining.

Compared to the pricing The Clip Out reported when the event opened, this is a meaningful drop across nearly every category, and it is worth checking out even if you already stopped by earlier in the week.

What My Husband and I Bought

I kept both receipts, so I cross-referenced what we paid against the original retail prices using the sale’s own category pricing chart. My receipt came to $147 for 11 pieces. Based on original Sample Sale pricing, that same haul would have run $375 retail, which puts my savings at $228, or roughly 61 percent off.

My husband’s receipt totaled $138 for nine pieces, including two Merino Run Beanies, a Run Jacket, and a fleece hoodie. Those same items would have cost $285 at sample sale retail, for a savings of $147, or about 52 percent off.

Between the two of us, we spent $285 total and walked away with roughly $660 worth of Peloton Apparel at sample sale pricing. That’s $375 in combined savings, or just under 57 percent off, on top of an event that was already discounted well below the original sticker price before the weekend markdowns even kicked in. It will take me days to calculate full savings from original retail prices, but certainly substantial – even if the Peloton Apparel online sales with 50% off are taken into consideration.

Our Highlight Purchases from the Sample Sale

A few items stood out as the best value on either receipt. My husband picked up men’s fleece hoodies for $14, down from the starting price of $45. The Merino wool run beanies rang up at $4 each, compared to $10 at the start of the sale (I bought this beanie as a gift for him last year and paid at least $20 with a big discount code). I grabbed a women’s tank for $1 that normally began at $10, and women’s Terez leggings for $12 against a $35 to $50 starting price depending on the style. We also spotted ornaments marked down to $1 near the accessories table, which are an easy add if you are already checking out.

Sizing Tips If You’re Heading There Tomorrow

Sizing ran uneven across the store, and where you land depends heavily on what you’re shopping for. In women’s, there was a large supply of XL, 1X, and 2X, along with plenty of Small. I was hunting for Medium in leggings and Large in shirts and bras depending on the cut, and those middle sizes moved fast. There simply were not as many options left in my size by the time I got there.

Men’s sizing followed a similar pattern, with an abundance of smaller sizes and XL and above, but Large was tougher to find in several styles. My husband usually wears a Large, and a few pieces he tried on in Medium actually fit just as well, so it is worth trying a size down if your usual size is sold out.

If your size falls outside the M to L range on either side, you may do even better than we did tomorrow, since the remaining inventory skews toward the sizes that were less picked over during the week.

Sample Sale Hours for the Final Day

Tomorrow, Sunday, August 30, is the last day to shop the Peloton Apparel sample sale at 261 Fifth Avenue. Based on the hours posted for 260 Sample Sale’s NoMad events this week, Sunday hours run from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Given how much inventory is still moving with the new weekend markdowns, getting there earlier in that window is the safer bet if you’re chasing specific sizes.

If you have been sitting on the fence about making the trip, this is the moment. Between the deeper markdowns, the friendly staff, and the sheer range of gear still on the tables, there is real value left on the racks with only a few hours to claim it.

Looking for additional savings? I hit up the Faherty sample sale across the street, also part of 260 Sample Sale’s offering, and did just as well. They also had additional markdowns for the weekend.

There is an abundance of additional shopping. restaurants, sweet treats and coffee bars in this area of the city – you can see the Empire State Building one way and the Flatiron Building the other way. It’s worth the drive if you are within 1-2 hours of the city. Tell us what you bought!
