Peloton IQ: AI Chatbot for Personalized Workout Plans

Peloton is adding an AI chatbot to its app, allowing members to create or update personalized plans using plain language. This new chatbot replaces a fixed series of questions for plan generation. Now, users can describe their fitness goals in their own words or adjust existing plans through a chat window. This feature is rolling out slowly, so not everyone will have immediate access. When creating a new plan, the setup asks for your fitness goal and offers suggestions like "Get fit on a busy schedule." To use it, you must accept new terms allowing Peloton to use your preferences, profile details, and workout history. The chatbot can analyze your past training. For example, if you're training for a cycling event and a marathon, it might suggest a six-day plan, noting your current activity levels. It can even suggest stacking shorter classes for longer training days, as individual workout sessions are capped at 60 minutes within the plan format. The bottom line: this new AI tool offers a more flexible and personalized way to build your Peloton workout schedule.
