The videos even show a leaderboard and heart rate display to provide the full effect of what taking a Peloton class is like.

While this “Find Your Class Match” quiz will definitely be helpful to brand new Peloton members, it appears to be more of a marketing tool targeted towards new customers who may not have purchased a device or signed up for the App yet. The quiz highlights all of the different modalities, instructors, and music styles that Peloton offers, and provides links to purchase the Bike, Tread, and Guide, or sign up for the App.
