Peloton adds AI form feedback to Row+

Peloton’s new Row+ is a rowing machine, but that’s not really the whole point anymore. The bigger idea is that Peloton is trying to turn one piece of cardio hardware into a full training station — row, step off, do strength work, and get coached through both. The new part is AI-powered form feedback for those floor exercises, built into the premium Row+ through Peloton IQ’s movement-tracking camera. That shifts the product from “connected rower” to something closer to a guided cross-training setup. (onepeloton.com) ### What actually changed? The Row+ now sits in Peloton’s Cross Training Series, the hardware refresh Peloton rolled out in late 2025. On the Row+, that means a built-in movement-tracking camera, a rotating 23.8-inch HD screen, hands-free voice controls, upgraded speakers, and an integrated fan — but the headline feature is camera-based feedback for strength classes taken beside the machine. (onepeloton.com) ### Isn’t Peloton Row already doing form feedback? Yes — but for a different thing. The original Peloton Row already had Form Assist for the rowing stroke itself, using onboard sensors to analyze body position and give in-class and post-workout feedback on how you row. The new Row+ keeps that rowing-specific guidance, then adds a second layer: computer-vision coaching for mat-based strength w(onepeloton.com)AI on top of the rower’s existing stroke analysis.

On the Row+, the camera tracks your movement during strength sessions and can count reps, flag form issues in real time, and even suggest weights. Peloton also pitches it as a planner and tracker — something that learns from your workout history and fe(support.onepeloton.com)rsonalization layer across the device. (onepeloton.com) ### Why put that on a rowing machine? Because rowing already lives in the overlap between cardio and strength. Peloton has leaned into that for years, but the old setup still treated the rower and the floor workout like separate experiences. The swivel screen changes that, and the AI camera makes the transition feel intentional — row for intervals, rotate the screen, then do dumbbell work w(onepeloton.com)chine, one subscription, more training modes. (onepeloton.com) ### What’s the catch? The catch is price. Peloton lists the Row+ at $3,295, and the bigger bundle climbs higher, with the Ultimate Package shown at $3,970. You also need a Peloton All-Access Membership to unlock the full content and applicable smart features. So the AI coaching story only works if you buy into the whole Peloton ecosystem, not just the hardware. (onepeloton.com) rowing? Not entirely. Turns out the Row+ is also a strategy signal from Peloton. The company is trying to make premium hardware feel more like a personal-training platform, especially after earlier experiments like the Peloton Guide. Instead of selling a single-purpose machine, Peloton is bundling coaching, tracking, and cross-training into the screen itself.

It makes the most sense for people who already want Peloton classes and also want their rower to double as a strength station. If you just want clean rowing metrics, cheaper ergs still exist. But if you want one machine to coach your stroke, watch your lunges, count your reps, and keep everything inside one app, that’s the lane Peloton is chasing now. (ca.pcmag.com) ### Bottom line The Row+ matters because Peloton added AI form feedback in a way that changes the category a bit. It’s still a rower. But Peloton clearly wants you to think of it as a cross-training coach with a seat, handle, and rail attached. (onepeloton.com)
