How To Get Peloton Discount For Healthcare Workers?


As an exercise physiologist, I received a peloton healthcare worker discount when I got my peloton bike+ subscription.

Today I want to clarify what is peloton healthcare worker discount, what it includes, who is eligible, and how to get one.

As a whole, healthcare workers, medical professionals, and first responders do get a discount on selected peloton products, as long as they’re currently working in the healthcare field or have an active medical license or certification. Peloton uses SheerID for the verification process.

What is the Peloton healthcare discount?

Overall, the peloton healthcare worker discount is a reduction in the cost of the peloton accessories. These include:

  • Heart rate monitors
  • Resistance bands
  • Peloton cycling shoes
  • Exercise mats

However, the caveat is that you must first purchase Peloton Bike, Bike+, or Tread to be eligible for this offer.

Please keep in mind that this is for new purchases only.

If you have already owned a bike or tread for a while, you are not eligible for this discount. Also, the discount doesn’t cover all-access membership.

Still, I think this is a great deal because you can save up to $200 from buying the accessories that you would have to buy anyway to fully use the bike and do the classes.

You can apply the $200 to any product from the accessories. Alternatively, you can apply the discount to peloton packages and it will be deducted at the checkout from the total price.

My experience with peloton healthcare discount

The whole process was relatively quick and easy. (Everything took less than 30 minutes.)

First, I needed to get first verified by SheerID, an American eligibility verification services company that specializes in offering exclusive discounts for specific target groups like college students, teachers, military personnel, and healthcare workers.

They help retailers and subscription service providers like peloton that want to protect the exclusivity of their discounts.

Second, the SheerID collected some personal information that was necessary for verification purposes. It included:

  • First and last name
  • Email address
  • Date of birth
  • Organizational association
  • Place of employment
  • Licensing documentation
  • Work ID card
  • Pay stub from within the last 90 days

Basically, the verification process means confirming that I was currently working in a medical or healthcare facility.

(This process could also be also done via phone, chat, or directly via the website. I’ve chosen the website.)

After the verification process was done, peloton send me an email with the discount promo code.

Here’s a photo of how to use the peloton healthcare discount promo code.

Once I get the promo code in my email, I entered the code just before I hit the checkout button during my purchase. After the code was verified, I automatically noticed a reduction in the total price.

(Again, easy process.)

If that doesn’t work, call the peloton support

Alternatively, you can also contact the peloton customer support team and get your discount via online chat.

Please remember that they will also need to verify your healthcare worker status, which means you should have your ID cards and other necessary documents on hand.

You can also contact them via phone. That’s what I did. I called peloton support after being disconnected from the chat. The lady asked me to send pics of my ID cards for proof and started the process immediately.

I think calling directly can be easier because once you get on the line with the peloton customer service team member and they can answer any questions.

Peloton app discount for healthcare workers

Another discount that Peloton offers for healthcare workers is the reduction of their Peloton digital subscription. It includes a 30-day free trial for the first month when buying a Peloton digital membership.

Then, you pay $9.99 per month, instead of paying $12.99 per month.

Again, this process can be done via phone, chat, or website, and verified by SheerID company to make sure that people who apply for the selected discount are eligible to get them.

The verification email is fast. I did get instant confirmation. Also, if you’re not qualified immediately, they will typically ask you to provide more information.

Here’s a photo of the email I received from the peloton.
