My New Peloton Desk – The Tray

I’ve always been a huge fan of multi-tasking. I used to have a treadmill desk but now that I only have a Peloton I was on a hunt for something that I could use to make a Peloton Desk so I could keep moving while responding to emails or listening to a long meeting.

I did a lot of research and landed on purchasing the “The Tray“! It works with the regular Peloton (not the plus).

How to convert your Peloton into a desk

So how do you use this product to turn you bike into a desk? Well, It’s a huge piece of heavy duty plastic that’s cut perfectly to fit right over the big middle hump handle bar on your Peloton bike to convert your bike into a Peloton bike in seconds!

Peloton Desk

It’s big enough to fit my laptop and a mouse and phone to the side and it’s surprisingly very sturdy.

Since your laptop will essentially cover most of the peloton screen, your best bet is to put the bike in “just ride” settings so you don’t have to follow what’s on screen. I used this setting and put on a Netflix series in the background and it was perfect!

I tested it out the other day and had some initial thoughts and pros/cons.

The drawbacks of this Peloton desk (but not deal breakers!)

A few things I noticed that weren’t ideal about this Peloton Desk are below. None of them are serious deal breakers for me to return the desk, but thought this may be helpful to know before purchasing The Tray Peloton Desk.

  • My legs are really long (I’m 5’7) so my knees just barely touched the front of the desk. It’s an easy fix to just put a small towel or something under or the desk though to give it an extra little height. Not a deal breaker for me. 
  • I can’t stand up to ride without hitting the desk. I have to stay seated but that’s ok with me too. 
  • You can’t hold onto the front handles because they are covered. This also isn’t a deal breaker to me because if I’m also working on the computer, I don’t need the handles as much as I would during a class. You can reach the back handles though!

Cost of Pelton Desk

This specific peloton desk is about $60 on Amazon. I feel that’s a reasonable price for the heavy duty piece of custom cut plastic (even with the negatives I mentioned above!)

Overall I’m super excited to have found a way to stay active while working. I recently had a baby and am going back to work soon so I wanted a way to be able to stay active during the long work days to shed some of this baby weight!
