To put subtitles on Peloton during a class, tap the “Subtitles” icon or the time icon in the top-right corner of your touchscreen, then toggle on the “Subtitles” button. This single verified method works on Peloton Bike, Tread, and the Peloton App, giving you instant access to text for the instructor’s words.
How to put subtitles on Peloton during a class
During any workout, look to the top-right corner of your screen. You’ll see either a “Subtitles” icon (a small speech bubble) or the current time. Tap that icon to open the subtitle controls, then simply toggle the “Subtitles” switch to the on position. The text will appear at the bottom of your screen, synced to the instructor’s voice.
There’s no need to dig through settings or pause your workout. Once you’ve turned subtitles on, they’ll stay on for that class session, and you can toggle them off just as easily if you prefer to work out in silence.
Which Peloton classes have subtitles?
Subtitles are available for all on-demand classes and live English classes. That means you can rely on captions whether you’re taking a recorded ride, a live strength session, or a yoga flow from the library. Peloton offers subtitles in English, German, and Spanish, so you can choose the language that works best for you.
However, not every class has every language. While English subtitles are standard across most on-demand content, German and Spanish subtitles depend on the class and its original production. Live English classes always include English subtitles, but other language options may not appear until after the class is processed for on-demand viewing.
If you’re looking for a specific language, check the class details page before starting. The subtitle language options are listed there, so you’ll know upfront whether your preferred language is available. For most users, the default English subtitles will cover the vast majority of the Peloton catalog.
How to give feedback on Peloton subtitle quality
Peloton actively works to improve subtitle accuracy, and they rely on member input to do it. If you notice a typo, a mistranslation, or a subtitle that’s out of sync, you have two verified ways to report it. The first is to rate the subtitle quality at the end of a class on Peloton Bike, Tread, Row, or the iOS Peloton App. A simple rating prompt will appear, letting you flag any issues.
The second method is to email the team directly at translations@onepeloton.com. This is the best route for detailed feedback, like if you spot a recurring error across multiple classes or have a suggestion for how a specific term should be translated. When you email, include the class name, the instructor, and the timestamp where the issue occurred.
Your feedback goes straight to the team that manages subtitles, so it genuinely makes a difference. Whether you’re a daily rider who relies on captions or you just want to help polish the experience for everyone, taking a minute to report issues helps ensure that subtitles remain a reliable feature for all Peloton members.
