NEW YORK, Feb. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Wheels Up, the fastest growing membership-based private aviation company, announces a new partnership with Peloton, the tech company revolutionizing the fitness industry. It was announced that through February and March 2017, new Wheels Up Members will be gifted a Peloton bike, as well as a one-year subscription to the extensive library of live and on-demand Peloton classes. All existing Wheels Up Members will also have the opportunity to engage in this partnership through additional on-going benefits.

"Wheels Up Members are always on the go, and always tuned into the latest lifestyle and fitness trends," said Kenny Dichter, Founder and CEO of Wheels Up. "Our partnership with Peloton delivers the state-of-the-art experience our Members expect while helping them stay active during their busy lives."

Through the 22" HD touchscreen, riders can join live classes or select from an entire library of on-demand classes led by elite Peloton instructors, as well as track their progress and compete against other riders on the real-time leaderboard.

"We identified right away with the entrepreneurial spirit and drive to innovate embodied by the Wheels Up team," said John Foley, co-founder and CEO of Peloton. "As like-minded companies delivering fresh, energizing experiences to our members, this partnership is a natural fit and so exciting for our two brands."
