Peloton is suspending live classes after an employee tested positive for coronavirus
Subscribers will still have access to on-demand content, and new pre-recorded videos will be released while the live experience is on hold.
Peloton’s live video classes were canceled for the rest of April after an employee in the fitness company’s New York studio tested positive for COVID-19.
According to CNN, the employee tested positive last week, and Peloton originally planned to resume live classes on Tuesday. But on Monday, the company, which broadcasts cycling, treadmill, and other fitness classes from studios in New York and London that are made available to subscribers, announced the decision to suspend live classes through April 30.
Subscribers will still have access to on-demand content, and new pre-recorded videos will be released while the live experience is on hold.
Last month, Peloton paused sales of its treadmills because delivery and assembly requires employees to enter recipients’ homes. Its bikes are still available and delivered to the threshold of the home, according to Business Insider.
