Peloton has 2.6 million subscribers who pay $50 per month for a connected fitness subscription. Another 500,000 people pay $16 or $29 per month for a digital-only subscription. Digital subscriptions are immensely profitable for Peloton, which has a gross margin of almost 50%.

The home gym company thrived during the pandemic since most people were confined to their homes. But as the pandemic subsided and gyms reopened, the company has struggled to hold on to subscribers, especially for its digital-only product. It's seeking to partner with commercial gyms to place its equipment in more locations in 2026.

The stock has sold off significantly since the height of the pandemic, as the tailwind turned into a massive headwind. Peloton grew its operating expenses as if the shift to home workouts were a permanent phenomenon. It paid for that in subsequent years. Management is now focused on improving profitability and increasing value for existing subscribers.

Sales growth has been slow in the United States, but its international growth is strong, and several key markets, such as China, remain under-penetrated by the Canadian company. International comparable store sales are growing at a double-digit pace, indicating its brand is resonating with foreign consumers.

In the U.S., management is focused on shortening lead times, which should reduce the amount of inventory markdowns. Additionally, it's revamping the retail experience and focusing on innovative products and new segments to expand its addressable market. That could ultimately lead to a strong turnaround in earnings.

As a result, it's been able to produce strong revenue growth through increased membership pricing and additional service sales such as personal training. As a luxury brand, Life Time has the opportunity to increase the value of its memberships more than low-cost gyms, such as Planet Fitness, that cater to budget-conscious consumers.

Its recent moves have resulted in very strong member retention while still attracting new members. Not only does that produce nice revenue growth, but it also provides strong operating margin expansion. The company saw net income increase 55% in 2024 and 62% in 2025. It sees adjusted net income climbing another 15% in 2026.
