Used Fitness Equipment Prices in 2026: What Peloton, Tonal, Treadmills & Rowers Really Cost
The median piece of used fitness equipment on Commonplace runs about $850, from a $525 set of dumbbells to a $3,250 Peloton Tread+. The connected machines depreciate hard, a used Peloton or Tonal is about 52% below retail, while racks and free weights hold their value, so either way secondhand is the smart buy. Here is what used fitness equipment actually costs right now, across cardio, strength and free weights, with real listings you can browse.
Fitness equipment is the most buyer-friendly used market we run. The connected-fitness boom flooded homes with Pelotons, Tonals, Hydrows and NordicTracks, and a lot of them now sit unused. That oversupply, plus the fact that the machine is identical whether it has 20 rides or 2,000, means used prices land far below new. If a golf cart barely depreciates, a Peloton practically halves the day it leaves the showroom.
Cardio and connected machines: $646 to $3,250
Ellipticals and entry Peloton bikes are the cheapest way in; the Peloton Tread family and Row sit at the top. Median used asking price for cardio and connected machines:
| Machine | Median used price |
|---|---|
| Peloton Tread+ | $3,250 |
| Peloton Row | $1,766 |
| Peloton Tread | $1,675 |
| NordicTrack 1750 | $1,240 |
| Hydrow | $1,077 |
| Treadmill | $900 |
| Rower | $735 |
| Peloton Bike | $700 |
| Assault bike | $650 |
| Elliptical | $646 |
A few real ones on Commonplace right now:
The Peloton lineup, used: $600 to $3,250
Peloton is by far the biggest single brand on the used market, and an older Bike is the cheapest entry point at around $600. Prices climb through the Bike+, then the Tread, Row and Tread+. The hardware is the same across a generation; you are mostly paying for how new it is and how many rides are on it.
Strength, racks and free weights: $449 to $2,075
Beyond the connected screens, Commonplace has the whole strength side: power and squat racks, cable and functional trainers, Smith machines, Pilates reformers, benches and dumbbells. This gear barely wears out, so used is a genuine steal, and unlike a Peloton, racks and free weights hold their value well. A cable or functional trainer runs about $2,075, a Smith machine $1,785, a squat rack $768, and a set of dumbbells around $525.
| Type | Median used price |
|---|---|
| Cable / functional trainer | $2,075 |
| Tonal | $1,950 |
| Rogue strength | $1,850 |
| Smith machine | $1,785 |
| Pilates reformer | $1,328 |
| Home gym | $938 |
| Squat rack | $768 |
| Dumbbells | $525 |
| Bowflex | $450 |
| Strength (misc) | $449 |
Used vs new: connected fitness sells for about half off
Across the big connected machines, used prices average about 52% below retail. This is the mirror image of a golf cart, which loses almost nothing. For a buyer it is a gift: the exact same Bike+, Tonal or Hydrow, at roughly half price, with the depreciation already taken by the first owner.
| Machine | Used median | Retail (new) | Discount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peloton Bike+ | $936 | $2,495 | 62% off |
| Hydrow Pro | $1,077 | $2,495 | 57% off |
| Peloton Bike | $675 | $1,445 | 53% off |
| Tonal | $1,950 | $3,995 | 51% off |
| Peloton Row | $1,766 | $3,195 | 45% off |
| Peloton Tread | $1,675 | $2,995 | 44% off |
Strength: Tonal, home gyms and Bowflex
Tonal is the premium pick at a $1,950 median (about half its $3,995 retail); a traditional cable home gym runs $938, and a Bowflex is the budget end near $450. Strength machines are where used makes the most sense: they barely wear out, so a lightly used Tonal or home gym performs like new for a fraction of the price. Check the cables and arms and you are set.
Rowers: Hydrow, Peloton Row and the rest
A basic used rower is about $735; a Hydrow runs $1,077 and the Peloton Row commands the most at $1,766. Rowers see light mechanical wear, so condition is mostly about the screen and the seat rail. The connected models (Hydrow, Peloton) cost more used but still land well under their $2,495 to $3,195 retail.
What actually moves the price
- Ride / hour count. The odometer of fitness gear. A near-new machine with a few dozen rides commands a real premium over a well-used one.
- Generation and screen. Newer Bike+, Tread and rotating-screen models cost more; confirm the touchscreen boots and is not account-locked.
- Brand. Peloton, Tonal and Hydrow hold more than off-brand equivalents because of the software and demand.
- Condition of wear parts. Treadmill belt and deck, strength cables, rower seat rail: the things that actually degrade with use.
- Subscription. The membership is separate and does not transfer, so it never adds to the hardware price, but a machine with an active screen is easier to trust.
Thinking of selling your fitness equipment?
Home gyms are heavy, awkward to move, and full of no-shows on Facebook Marketplace, which is exactly why so many sit unused.

How buying used fitness equipment works on Commonplace
The risk with a used machine is the stuff you cannot see in a photo: the belt, the cables, whether the screen is locked. We remove it. A driver inspects it, delivers it, and you get time to test it before you pay a cent, with a 60-day warranty. Pay a dollar up front, the rest on delivery.
Frequently asked questions
How much does used fitness equipment cost?
On Commonplace the median piece of used fitness equipment is about $850. A used Peloton Bike runs $600 to $936, a treadmill about $900, a rower $735 to $1,766, and a Tonal strength trainer around $1,950.
Does fitness equipment hold its value?
No, and that is good news for buyers. Used connected fitness gear sells for roughly 52% below retail on average, the opposite of something like a golf cart. A Peloton Bike+ that listed at $2,495 new sells used around $936. If you are buying, secondhand is where the real savings are.
Is a used Peloton worth it?
Usually yes. A used Peloton Bike is about $675 versus $1,445 new, and a Bike+ is around $936 versus $2,495. The machine is identical; you just skip the depreciation. Check the ride/hour count and that the touchscreen boots, then start the All-Access membership yourself (it does not transfer with the bike).
Tonal vs a Peloton vs a treadmill: which is the best used value?
Depends on your goal. A used Peloton Bike is the cheapest way in ($600 to $936). A treadmill ($900 median) is the do-everything cardio pick. A Tonal ($1,950) is the priciest but replaces a whole rack of weights with digital resistance, and used it is roughly half of its $3,995 retail.
What should I check when buying used fitness equipment?
Ask for the ride or hour count (it is the odometer of fitness gear). Confirm the screen powers on and the software is not locked to the seller’s account. On treadmills, listen for belt and deck wear; on strength machines like Tonal or a home gym, check the cables and arms. Because these are heavy and hard to judge from a photo, testing before you pay is the whole point.
