Peloton is laying off close to 780 employees in an overhaul that will mostly affect the company’s delivery workforce. After slashing prices earlier this year, Peloton’s Bike+ will increase by $500, to $2,495 and Peloton’s Tread will increase by $800, to $3,495. The prices of Bike v1 and the AI-enabled strength training Peloton Guide will remain the same. By also closing its remaining warehouses, Peloton will be shifting its "final mile delivery" to third-party providers, leading to the current layoffs. Tonal, an at-home AI-powered strength training machine and competitor to Peloton, cut 35% of its workforce last month.
