The company shared that it plans to implement more brand partnerships, which include "putting its bikes in every Hilton-branded hotel in the United States" and selling products in Dick's Sporting Goods stores.

McCarthy told CNBC the company would still be "extremely well capitalized" and "highly liquid," adding that it's still on track to meet its cash flow goals for the fiscal year.

This isn't Peloton's first rodeo when it comes to layoffs. The company began cutting jobs back in February, and since then has had a total of 3,800 employee layoffs globally.

"Today's cuts are expected to mainly affect employees working in marketing," The Verge notes.
