Peloton Interactive said today it would replace its chief executive officer, cut jobs and appoint new board members as the company wrestles with waning demand for its at-home fitness equipment.

The exercise bike maker's co-founder, John Foley, will step down as CEO and will become the executive chair, the company said.

The investment firm called for his removal and even urged the company to sell itself, blaming the stock's underperformance to"gross mismanagement", Foley's poor decision making and lack of credibility. Shares of the company were down 9% in premarket trading on Wall Street today. They had gained about 21% yesterday following reports of the buyout interest.
