Is Peloton & Exercise Equipment HSA-Eligible? (2026)
Peloton and exercise equipment can be HSA-eligible with a Letter of Medical Necessity for a diagnosed condition.
Typical Cost
$1,400–$2,500 (Peloton bike); $30–$50/month (subscription)
Details
Exercise equipment like Peloton bikes, treadmills, rowing machines, and home gym setups are not HSA-eligible for general fitness. However, with a Letter of Medical Necessity from a licensed provider for a diagnosed condition (obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic pain, etc.), these purchases can qualify. Peloton has partnered directly with Truemed to offer HSA/FSA checkout for qualifying customers - you complete a health survey at checkout, and if approved, you can pay with pre-tax dollars. Other brands with Truemed HSA/FSA checkout include Tonal, NordicTrack, Bowflex, Hydrow, and Sole. The same LMN that covers equipment can also cover the monthly subscription (Peloton All-Access, iFIT, etc.).
Requirements
Requires a Letter of Medical Necessity from a licensed provider for a specific diagnosed condition. The provider must confirm the equipment is medically necessary for treatment - not just general fitness. Services like Truemed handle the LMN process at checkout.
