Peloton Interactive said it cut 11% of its workforce on Friday, CEO Peter Stern informed staff, with most affected employees engineers working on technology and enterprise customers. The layoffs are part of a previously announced plan to save $100 million as the company struggles with sluggish sales of last year’s AI-powered equipment, price increases, and a recent equipment recall; Peloton will report quarterly results next week.
