Peloton has just launched a standalone strength training app that won't require you to use its machines. The Peloton Strength+ iPhone and Apple Watch app comes with a US$9.99 subscription in the US. But it is free for most of the subscribers to the Peloton app. (Entry-level Peloton App One won't get free access.) The Strength+ app focuses on custom workout generation and multi-week, instructor-led programs.

With the new app's launch, the company now has three digital offerings: All Access with its support for Peloton's machines, the Peloton App with its machine-friendly App+ and equipment-free App One versions, and the Strength+ app.

It will detect when you've punched it via infrared time-of-flight sensors, turning the screen into a large touchscreen of sorts.
