Peloton Skōp Acquisition Completed, Pilates Usage Climbs 54%

Pilates usage climbs as Peloton closes its newest acquisition.

The Peloton Skōp acquisition is officially complete. Peloton confirmed in its Q4 FY26 earnings materials that it has finalized its purchase of Skōp, a Connected Pilates company, at the same moment its own Pilates content usage jumped 54% year-over-year. The timing puts real numbers behind Peloton’s growing investment in the modality.

Inside the Peloton Skōp Acquisition

In its earnings press release, Peloton described Skōp as an early innovator in Connected Pilates that will help the company build differentiated products and experiences on what it already calls an industry-leading position in strength. The shareholder email recapping results framed the Peloton Skōp acquisition in similar terms, saying it will enhance research and development efforts tied to that same strength positioning.

Peloton has not disclosed a purchase price for Skōp. The company’s FY26 cash flow statement shows $11.4 million spent on business combinations and asset acquisitions for the year, though Peloton has not confirmed how much of that total, if any, applies specifically to the Peloton Skōp acquisition. Full financial details are available in Peloton’s Q4 FY26 earnings report, and the underlying materials are posted on Peloton’s Investor Relations site.

Pilates Usage Climbs 54% Year-Over-Year

Peloton’s Q4 earnings call notes put a number on the momentum behind the Peloton Skōp acquisition. Pilates usage was up 54% year-over-year, growth the company said predates the Skōp deal and reflects organic member interest in its existing Pilates programming. That Pilates usage growth is exactly what the acquisition is now positioned to build on.

Peloton has spent the last several years positioning strength training as a growth pillar alongside its core Tread, Row, and cycling content. Pilates fits into that strategy as a lower-impact, recovery-adjacent category that appeals to a different subset of members than high-intensity strength work. Folding Skōp’s Connected Pilates technology into Peloton’s platform suggests the company sees Pilates as more than a supplementary content category, even though specific new products or features tied to the Peloton Skōp acquisition have not been detailed yet.

Pilates Has Its Own Place on the Schedule

Pilates now sits as its own standalone category on the Peloton platform, alongside Strength, Meditation, Running, Walking, Cycling, and other modalities. That standing gives the Peloton Skōp acquisition a built-in home rather than a shelf inside another modality, and it’s part of why the 54% jump in Pilates usage carries weight. The category isn’t a side note to Strength anymore. It’s a destination on its own.

That growth follows a broader expansion of the Pilates teaching roster. Johanna Ricouz and Greta Dopp both joined Peloton within the past year and added Pilates to their class rosters in January 2026, giving the category two newer voices alongside its established lineup. Peloton already offers a German-language Pilates collection, and some members have wondered whether Spanish-language Pilates classes could be next, though Peloton has not announced any plans in that direction.

What’s Next for Peloton Pilates

Some of that build-out is already underway. Two Sculpt 30 classes, a new format that folds Pilates elements into a 30-minute strength session, have released so far, with Hannah Corbin, Emma Lovewell and Ally Love leading entries in the series. Peloton said during its Q4 FY26 earnings call that Sculpt 30 classes will continue releasing weekly.

Peloton has also expanded Pilates into new territory this summer. Anna Greenberg’s Prenatal Pilates series launched as the platform’s first dedicated Pilates programming built specifically for expecting members, adding another entry point to a category that keeps growing across formats.

The Peloton Skōp acquisition has also fueled speculation inside the Peloton community about the new equipment category the company teased on the same earnings call. Peloton said only that it plans to announce an entirely new product category in fall 2027, without detailing what it includes. Some members and fans have guessed it could involve Pilates hardware, possibly even a connected reformer, though Peloton has not confirmed any link between that announcement and the Peloton Skōp acquisition.

Dr. Kim Clayton, Skōp’s founder, now leads Pilates experience at Peloton, giving the company both the technology and the leadership to act on the deal. That pairing, combined with a 54% jump in Pilates usage, gives Peloton a clear signal that member demand for the category is already there. The original Skōp acquisition announcement framed the deal as an R&D investment rather than an immediate product launch, and Q4 earnings confirm that framing still holds.
