Overview
Peloton sells connected bikes, treadmills and rowers, and an app of live and on-demand classes. Its public site alternates near-black photo sections with cool white and pale gray product sections, all in Inter, with one red that appears only where you can buy or start a trial. [Observed]
What defines the look:
- One red for buying.
#df1c2ffills "Shop now", "Shop Bike" and "Try 30 days free", with a matching 2px edge. No other element is red. [Measured] - Near-black and cool white. Dark sections are
#181a1dand#222529. Light sections are#ffffffand#f5f7f9, with#e4e6e7hairlines. [Measured] - Inter, semibold and roomy. Headlines are Inter 600 with -0.2px tracking and a generous 1.3 line height (64 on 83.2, 48 on 62.4). Navigation is set light, at weight 300. [Measured]
- Rounded buttons with an edge. Buttons are 48 high with a 24px corner and a 2px border in their own color, or 56 high with 28 for outlined ones. [Measured]
- Photo-led sections. Product and class photography fills hero bands with white type on top. [Observed]
Source for this file: the home page, the app page, the Bike product page and the members log in page, measured in a browser at 1440 and 390 wide on 2026-10-15, with a dark color scheme pass. Peloton does not publish a design system. Classes and the member dashboard sit behind an account and were not measured. No app captures were used. See Known Gaps.

Shape and spacing
Buttons use 24 at 48 high and 28 at 56 high, so they read as pills. Smaller corners are common: 6 (the most frequent), 4, 8, 10 and 12 for cards, tiles and inputs, and filter chips are full pills. [Measured] Buttons carry 22px side padding. [Measured]
Iconography and motion

Themes

Do's and Don'ts
Do
- Keep red for buying and starting a trial.
- Alternate near-black photo sections with cool white and pale gray ones.
- Set headlines in Inter 600 with a roomy 1.3 line height.
- Give buttons a 2px edge in their own color.
Don't
- Don't use red for alerts or decoration.
- Don't use pure black. Use
#181a1d. - Don't use square buttons.
Known Gaps
- Classes, the schedule and the member dashboard sit behind an account and were not measured.
- The iOS and Android apps were not captured, and Peloton publishes no design system, so every mobile topic is inferred.
- Icons, motion and toasts were not measured.
- The members log in page rendered in full only in one of three passes, so its values come from a single view.
- A cookie banner covers the first view. It belongs to a consent vendor and was left out.
- Account deletion and store policy rules were not verified.
