In July, Peloton announced that it will be breaking into the video game industry, offering a game called “Lanebreak,” which will see riders modifying their cadence and resistance to complete goals. The game will be available in the company’s app and will involve a members-only beta debuting later in 2021.

A Peloton armband, as proposed, would come with separate sizes and be able to sync up with the exercise company’s other products. The band would add onto the company’s other heart rate monitor product and be able to track a user’s workout intensity and show features like battery level.

In addition, Peloton rolled out a new corporate wellness program to help reach new users.

Critics have pointed out that demand for Peloton might wane as the pandemic eases up and people return more readily to regular gyms. But the rise of the delta variant could complicate that.
