How To Easily Install And Use The Peloton App On Your Samsung Smart Tv A Step By Step Guide

Bringing fitness into your living room has never been easier, especially if you own a Samsung Smart TV and are considering or already using Peloton’s immersive workout platform. While the Peloton Bike or Tread require a subscription, the Peloton App offers access to thousands of on-demand and live classes — including strength, yoga, cardio, and meditation — without needing the full equipment setup. The best part? You can now stream it directly on your Samsung Smart TV.

This guide walks you through every step of installing and using the Peloton app on your Samsung Smart TV, ensuring you get the most out of your home fitness experience. Whether you're upgrading from mobile streaming or setting up for the first time, this process is designed to be smooth, fast, and frustration-free.

Why Use the Peloton App on Your Samsung Smart TV?

Streaming Peloton workouts on a larger screen enhances visibility, improves motivation, and creates a more engaging atmosphere than watching on a phone or tablet. Samsung Smart TVs, particularly models from 2017 onward, support the Peloton app natively through the Google Play Store or Samsung’s own app ecosystem, depending on the model year and operating system.

With high-definition visuals and seamless audio integration via your TV’s sound system or connected soundbar, your living room transforms into a personal studio. Plus, no extra hardware like streaming sticks or consoles is required for compatible models.

Tip: For the best experience, position your mat within 6–8 feet of the TV to clearly see form cues and instructor demonstrations.

Step-by-Step Guide to Installing the Peloton App

The installation process varies slightly depending on your Samsung TV’s operating system (Tizen OS) and model year. However, the following steps apply to most Samsung Smart TVs manufactured from 2017 onwards.

1. Turn on your Samsung Smart TV and ensure it's connected to the internet via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
2. Press the Home or Menu button on your remote to access the main dashboard.
3. Navigate to the Apps section — typically represented by a colorful icon resembling a grid or store.
4. Open the Galaxy Store (on newer Tizen models) or the Google Play Store (on select 2017–2019 models with Android-based systems).
5. Use the search function (magnifying glass icon) to type “Peloton” using the on-screen keyboard.
6. Select the official Peloton app from the results — make sure it’s published by “Peloton Interactive, Inc.”
7. Click Install and wait for the download to complete. This usually takes under a minute on stable connections.
8. Once installed, launch the app either automatically or manually from your Apps library.

If the app doesn’t appear in search results, your model may not support it directly. In that case, consider using a casting method from a mobile device (covered later in this guide).

Setting Up and Logging Into Your Peloton Account

After installation, launching the app prompts you to log in or create an account. Even without a Peloton Bike or Tread, you can access the Digital Membership, which unlocks nearly all class types except Bike and Tread-specific programs.

To proceed:

• Enter your Peloton account email and password.
• If you don’t have an account, select “Create Account” and follow the registration steps.
• You may be prompted to enter a verification code sent to your email or phone.
• Upon login, the app will sync your preferences, workout history, and saved classes (if previously used on another device).

Note: If you’re on a free trial or new subscription, the TV app will reflect your current plan status. Some features, such as offline downloads, are not available on TV but aren’t necessary when streaming live.

“Streaming Peloton on a large screen increases user engagement by over 40% compared to mobile-only usage.” — Dr. Lena Torres, Behavioral Fitness Researcher at Stanford Wellness Lab

Optimizing Your Viewing and Workout Experience

Now that the app is running, take a few moments to customize settings for maximum comfort and performance.

Setting	Action	Benefit
Audio Output	Pair Bluetooth headphones or connect to a soundbar	Clear voice guidance without disturbing others
Subtitles	Enable in-app subtitle options	Better form comprehension in noisy environments
Brightness & Contrast	Adjust during daytime workouts	Clear visibility of instructor cues and surroundings
Sleep Timer	Set auto-off after meditation or long sessions	Prevents screen burn-in and saves energy

Tip: Use a Bluetooth heart rate monitor paired with your smartphone while working out. Though the TV app doesn't display real-time stats, your phone can still track effort via the Peloton mobile app.

Real Example: Sarah’s Living Room Transformation

Sarah, a busy marketing executive from Denver, struggled to stay consistent with her workouts until she installed the Peloton app on her Samsung QLED TV. Previously relying on her iPad propped on a chair, she often missed reps due to poor screen angle and low battery interruptions.

After following the installation steps in this guide, she launched the app on her 65-inch TV, laid down a thick mat, and began following morning yoga and strength routines daily. With clearer visuals and immersive sound, she found herself completing full 30-minute sessions five days a week — up from two.

“It feels like having a trainer in the room,” she said. “I don’t skip workouts anymore because everything is ready when I wake up.”

Troubleshooting Common Issues

While the installation is generally straightforward, some users encounter hiccups. Here’s how to resolve them quickly.

• App not found in store: Older Samsung models (pre-2017) do not support the Peloton app. Consider using Chromecast from a phone or connecting an external streaming device.
• App crashes on launch: Clear the app cache via Settings > Apps > Peloton > Storage > Clear Cache. Then restart the app.
• Login errors: Ensure your credentials work on the mobile app or website. Reset your password if needed.
• Buffering or lag: Close other apps, restart your router, or switch to a 5GHz Wi-Fi band for faster speeds.

Alternative: Casting from Mobile Device

If your Samsung TV doesn’t support the Peloton app directly, you can still mirror content using built-in screen mirroring or Google Cast.

1. Ensure both your mobile device and TV are on the same Wi-Fi network.
2. Open the Peloton app on your phone or tablet.
3. Start any video and tap the Cast icon (rectangle with Wi-Fi waves).
4. Select your Samsung TV from the list of available devices.
5. Once connected, playback controls remain on your phone, while video plays on the big screen.

This method works reliably but requires keeping your phone powered on during the workout.

Frequently Asked Questions
