The stationary bike company Flywheel has just served notice to its customers that it’s shutting down its in-home service. On March 27, 2020 the Flywheel At Home service, a subscription based exercise class service where users pay to stream classes remotely, will stop working. According to an email it sent to customers, Flywheel is sending its existing customers directly to rival Peloton.
“We understand your disappointment at this news, but we have partnered with Peloton to provide an exclusive offer for you to enjoy their world class At Home product,” Flywheel’s email to customers said.
