If I had to pick between working out for 30 minutes [1] or chilling on my couch watching Netflix, I'd pick the latter. As much fun as Spinning is, exercising isn't necessarily what I look forward to doing every single day. Sometimes I don't feel like being coached or listening to a hour of spirited exclamations. I want to get in, do my workout in peace, and dip. I'd rather binge a few episodes of The Office, laughing at their devious pranks [2] as my ride motivator. What if you could combine them? Luckily, streaming Netflix on your Peloton bike [3] isn't has hard as you might think.
In a tutorial, TikTok user Kelly Rose Sarno breaks down everything you need to know [4] to stream Netflix on your Peloton bike. And it takes all of about 5 minutes. Walk through the steps below to watch your favourite Netflix series on your Peloton.
- On your touchscreen, click the bottom right corner to bring up the touchscreen menu. Select "About."
- An "About" pop-up box will appear. Tap the bottom righthand corner of that box really fast. Another box will appear. Select a green robot icon labeled "WebView Browser Tester."
- Type in Netlfix.com, sign in, and begin watching!
It's important to note that while this hack may be a complete game changer to your workout, this loophole isn't endorsed by the company, and in some cases, can result in a glitchy screen. If you think your Peloton has been negatively affected, try factory resetting your touchscreen. [5]
