Flywheel will stop offering virtual classes in late March after the exercise company settled with competitor Peloton over patent infringement earlier this month. Live classes will end on March 1st, but on-demand classes will continue to be offered through March 27th.
Peloton is also now giving current Flywheel customers the option to trade in their At Home Flywheel bikes for a refurbished Peloton-branded one. Flywheel says it’ll stay in the in-studio virtual class business, and subscriptions for the at-home classes that renew on their own will be terminated automatically.
Well, this is sad news for us At Home riders... @Flywheel. @onepeloton hope you do us justice. pic.twitter.com/bPm8cLmdz8
