In a draft email received by Fox Business, the office of the Chief Administrative Officer called it a "premier employee benefit," which will also be made open to Capitol Police staff.
These government workers will be granted both a Peloton All-Access membership and a Peloton App membership at no cost to the employee.

The government’s agreement with Peloton, formed by efforts from the House Center for Well-Being, will commence on May 18.
An assessed 10,000 House staff members and around 2,300 Capitol Police officers will receive this offer.
A source familiar with the issue said that "the contract cost is a $10,000 upfront payment to Peloton, plus an extra $10 per month charge for each staffer or officer that utilizes the benefit. If 12,000 staffers took advantage of the benefit, it would cost taxpayers $120,000 a month," according to Fox Business.
