Peloton RePowered Strategy: Essential Resale Lessons

Amanda Hunter explained at Archive’s Resale Summit why Peloton chose to own its secondhand market, and what other brands can take from it.

The Peloton RePowered strategy starts with a plain decision: own the secondhand market instead of letting it grow with no benefit to the brand. Amanda Hunter, Peloton SVP and GM of Recommerce, laid out that reasoning at the October 7, 2026 Resale Summit hosted by Archive, the technology platform behind the site.

Archive highlighted the session in a mid-October 2026 LinkedIn post, calling Peloton the last brand most people would expect to have a resale story. That contrast is part of why the session stood out.

The Peloton RePowered Strategy Began With an Existing Market

According to Archive, people were already buying and selling used Pelotons on marketplaces the company did not control. That left a choice between owning the market and letting it grow without any benefit to Peloton. Peloton chose to own it, and the company now runs RePowered as a growth business rather than a side project.

The storefront is branded Peloton RePowered by Archive Resale. Its welcome screen calls it the official Peloton resale site, where members can find gently used equipment at discounted prices or sell pre-loved pieces for cash. Archive describes itself as a technology platform that powers profitable resale businesses for brands, and says it works with 60 brands globally, including The North Face, Lululemon and New Balance.

Three Parts of the Peloton RePowered Strategy

Hunter’s approach, as summarized by Archive, has three parts.

Judge Resale by Its Effect on the Core Business

Peloton measures resale by what it does for the core business, not by whether each sale made money on its own. The test is contribution to the larger company, not margin on a single transaction.

Invest in Awareness

Scale depends on customers knowing the option exists. Under the Peloton RePowered strategy, awareness is something Peloton invests in directly.

Look for New Markets and Categories

Peloton also sees room to grow into new markets and categories, thought the post does not say which ones.

Lessons for Peer Fitness Brands

The sequence applies to any connected fitness brand, such as Tonal, NordicTrack or Hydrow, for example. Start by checking whether equipment already circulates on marketplaces the brand does not control. Then pick the metric that would show a resale channel supports the core business, and ask internal skeptics what evidence would change their answer. The Peloton RePowered strategy treats resale as a growth business, and that framing drives the other two choices.
