The workshop is called “Coming Home to Yourself: An Exploration of Life in Alignment.” It is an Omega Institute event rather than a Peloton event, with Aditi leading the weekend.

Omega describes the workshop as:

“Have you ever wondered how to bring your mindfulness practice and values into alignment with everyday life? Join Aditi Shah for a deep dive into mindfulness for all people. Develop a sustainable approach that integrates real-world demands with intentional, embodied practice.”

The workshop is designed around applying mindfulness beyond a daily meditation practice and into work, relationships, and decision-making; understanding your relationship with yourself across the past, present, and future; and creating a values-aligned way of living that feels realistic to maintain.

The format includes lectures from Aditi, group discussion, and reflective journaling.

Aditi also shared the workshop on Instagram, describing it in her own words:

“ahh it’s happening! spend the weekend with me this october. ill be teaching a special workshop at the magical @omegainstitute focusing on mindful practices to bring us back to ourselves. think nervous system reset, reconciling past and present, creating the future you want.”

She added that “nothing makes me happier than time with this community,” and invited people to reach out with questions about the weekend.

The first workshop session runs Friday from 7:00-9:00pm ET, following check-in that afternoon. Saturday has sessions from 9:00am-noon and 2:30-5:00pm, followed by a final session Sunday from 9:00am-noon.

Tuition is $410 for the general public or $365 for Omega members. Accommodations are booked separately, and Omega says on-campus housing is limited. Participants who live nearby or prefer to stay elsewhere can register as commuters instead.

At Peloton, Aditi has led several meditation programs, including Intro to Meditation, 7 Days To Start Your Meditation Practice, and 7 Days of Mindful Mornings.

You can see Aditi’s announcement on Instagram.

Registration and full details are available through Omega’s workshop page.

Peloton highlighted the new batch through Instagram Stories this week, writing:

“Get ready for back to school with new Fit Family classes.”

All four classes dropped directly to the on-demand library on Tuesday, September 8. Three are taught in German, with Chelsea Jackson Roberts’ Disney Fit Family Flow the only English-language class in the batch.

• 15 min Disney Fit Family Flow – Chelsea Jackson Roberts – 9/8/26 @ 12:00am ET [On Demand]
• 10 min Disney Fit Family Fun – Cliff Dwenger – 9/8/26 @ 12:15am ET [German, On Demand]
• 5 min Family Meditation – Mayla Wedekind – 9/8/26 @ 12:15am ET [German, On Demand]
• 5 min Family Sleep Meditation – Mayla Wedekind – 9/8/26 @ 12:15am ET [German, On Demand]

Peloton describes Cliff’s Disney Fit Family Fun class as:

“Join Cliff for this family-friendly full-body workout that includes cardio and strength training. Families with children aged 5 and over will get active and have fun in this Fit Family Fun class.”

Disney has been part of Peloton’s Fit Family programming before. Some of the earliest examples arrived in 2021, including Disney Fit Family classes with Jess Sims and Kristin McGee, with additional Disney family workouts added in the years since. You can find some of those listed in our list of early Peloton Disney classes.

The new classes also continue Peloton’s expansion of German-language Fit Family programming. Mayla taught a German Family Meditation as part of the back-to-school Fit Family release in September 2025, before Peloton added another English and German batch in February featuring both Mayla and Cliff.

This is the second year in a row Peloton has released Fit Family programming for back-to-school season. Last September’s batch included seven classes across two release dates, spanning meditation, Fit Family Fun, and Brain Break workouts.

Peloton has also been releasing Fit Family classes more regularly throughout 2026. Five new classes arrived in February, followed by seven spring-themed classes in April and four more for summer in July.

Some of those recent Fit Family releases have also been made available for free on YouTube. Peloton put select classes from the February and April batches on YouTube, while most of the September 2025 back-to-school classes were added there almost two weeks after their Peloton release. Peloton has not announced whether any of this week’s new classes will receive the same treatment.

Fit Family has been a Peloton class type since 2020, with the library expanding over the years to include Fit Family Fun, Fit Family Flow, meditations, Brain Breaks, and other workouts designed for families to take together.

Will your family be trying any of the new back-to-school Fit Family classes?

Peloton shared the first teaser on Instagram, writing:

“everything is hard. choose your hard. then choose it again & again.

see ya 9.21 😈”

The post includes a video of Jess talking about how people are built to do hard things, and describing doing hard things as a transferable skill that carries over into other parts of life.

It ends with a title card reading “Do Hard Things. 9.21.”

Peloton has not publicly shared the full schedule, length, or structure for what “Do Hard Things” is – though the most likely candidate is that this is a program.

The Jess Sims “Do Hard Things” program also could be a live program format, which Peloton has begun to use recently. Boost Your Base: Power Zones, for example, released on-demand workouts during the week before a live class each Saturday, while Discover Kettlebells combined on-demand instructional classes with scheduled live workouts.

However, Peloton has yet to confirm the specifics for “Do Hard Things.” With it being Jess Sims, it does seem a safe bet that at least some of the classes would be Tread Bootcamp classes.

More details about the schedule, length, and complete mix of classes should be revealed ahead of the September 21 launch.

Peloton announced the classes through Instagram Stories under the heading “Service in Motion,” writing:

“Honor the living legacy of heroism in classes commemorating the 25th anniversary of September 11th.”

The two classes are:

• 10 min 9/11 Anniversary Meditation – Chelsea Jackson Roberts – 9/11/26 @ 12:00am ET [On Demand]
• 30 min 9/11 Anniversary Ride – Christine D’Ercole – 9/11/26 @ 10:00am ET

Chelsea’s Meditation will be released directly to the on-demand library at midnight ET, while Christine’s Ride will take place live at 10:00am ET.

Peloton describes Christine’s class as:

“Honor, remember, and ride. On this 25th anniversary of 9/11, we come together to honor the lives lost, the heroes, and the enduring strength of our community.”

Christine also taught a class for the 20th anniversary in 2021. Peloton released four Remembrance classes that year, including a 20 min Ride with Christine, Runs with Robin Arzón and Becs Gentry, and a Meditation with Kristin McGee.

At the time, Peloton said the classes were intended to honor “human resilience, courage and the power of creating community.”

The naming has changed for the 25th anniversary. The 2021 classes carried the “Remembrance” label, while this year’s two workouts are specifically titled “9/11 Anniversary” classes.

Will you be taking either of Peloton’s 9/11 Anniversary classes?

All three classes will be released directly to the on-demand library at 12:00am ET (5:00am BST). Peloton describes them as:

“Look forward to growth, peace and connection in the year ahead in these classes celebrating the Jewish New Year.”

The complete list of Peloton Jewish New Year classes for 2026 is:

• 20 min Jewish New Year Ride – Jenn Sherman – 9/11/26 @ 12:00am ET [On Demand]
• 30 min Jewish New Year Walk – Robin Arzón – 9/11/26 @ 12:00am ET [On Demand]
• 10 min Jewish New Year Meditation – Anna Greenberg – 9/11/26 @ 12:00am ET [On Demand]

The lineup is almost identical to last year. Peloton released three Jewish New Year classes in 2025 with the same instructors across the same three modalities. Jenn again has a 20 min Ride and Anna a 10 min Meditation, while Robin’s Walk increases from 20 minutes last year to 30 minutes this year.

Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown Friday, September 11 and continues through nightfall Sunday, September 13. The new Peloton classes arrive Friday morning, several hours before the holiday begins.

This is the third year Peloton has released classes specifically carrying the “Jewish New Year” name. Peloton introduced the theme in 2024 with a single 30 min Jewish New Year Ride with Robin Arzón, before expanding it to cycling, walking, and meditation in 2025.

Peloton did not offer a badge specifically for the Jewish New Year classes last year. You can always find a full list of Peloton badges on our site.

Peloton launched a Jewish Holiday collection at the end of 2024, bringing Jewish New Year, Hanukkah, and Jewish American Heritage Month classes together in one place.

Peloton posted the request in the Official Peloton Facebook Group on Wednesday, September 9, writing:

“Show us how you Peloton at home!

We love spotlighting our amazing Bike community, and we want you to be the stars. We’re looking for authentic, energetic videos of you enjoying your favorite rides right at home.”

In the submission form, Peloton says they are looking for self-generated content from both runners and riders and gives instructions for members using either a Peloton Bike or Tread.

Peloton wants footage from two different angles. The first is selfie-style, with the camera facing the member while they ride or run. Peloton encourages reactions to the instructor and other natural moments, including smiling, laughing, singing along, celebrating a milestone, pushing through a difficult section, or showing the post-workout reaction afterward.

The second is a wider shot with the camera positioned farther away, showing the member using their Bike or Tread within their home.

Peloton has several specific requirements and recommendations for the footage:

• All footage must be filmed horizontally in landscape orientation
• Use the highest resolution available on the device
• Film in a well-lit space, ideally using natural light
• Make sure both the member and Peloton hardware are clearly visible
• Keep the camera stable and securely positioned for wider shots
• Some natural movement is acceptable during selfie footage, but it should not be excessively shaky
• Avoid heavy filters or overly staged setups
• Avoid workout apparel with prominent non-Peloton logos, as Peloton says footage featuring clearly visible third-party logos cannot be used

Peloton emphasizes the landscape requirement in the instructions for both requested angles.

This is a different request from the casting call Peloton shared in late August. That opportunity was recruiting members for a professional brand photo and video shoot taking place in New York from September 14-18. Applicants submitted a 60-90 second self-tape as part of the selection process.

The new request does not involve applying to attend a later shoot. Instead, members are being asked to create and submit the at-home workout footage themselves.

Peloton made a similar request for member-generated footage in September 2025, when the company asked members to submit videos showing how their Bike, Bike+, Tread, Tread+, or Row fit into their lives for what Peloton described as a community-powered “film.”

There are some differences in the filming instructions this time. The 2025 request encouraged members to capture both horizontal and vertical footage and specifically told them not to film selfie-style while actively using their equipment. Workout footage was instead supposed to be recorded by another person or using a securely positioned phone.

This year’s brief requires every shot to be horizontal and specifically asks for a selfie-style angle while the member is riding or running, in addition to the wider view of the workout space.

Peloton has not said where the submitted footage will ultimately be used.

Members interested in taking part can read the full filming guidelines and upload their video through Peloton’s submission form.

Peloton first acknowledged the problem on their status page Wednesday morning, September 9 at 10:13am ET, writing:

“We are investigating an ongoing issue with the Apple Watch connecting to a workout and the app crashing intermittently. Team is investigating.”

Just over two hours later, at 12:27pm ET, Peloton changed the status of the incident from “Investigating” to “Identified,” saying:

“This issue has been identified and we are investigating a fix.”

Peloton lists the affected component as Bike/Tread/App/Row through the Peloton App. Because the crash is intermittent, not every member or connection attempt will necessarily be affected.

Peloton has not shared the cause of the issue, how many members are experiencing it, or an estimated time for a fix. However, there have bene reports on social media for a number of days of members reporting issues.

Members experiencing the problem can also use a separate compatible heart rate monitor instead of their Apple Watch in the meantime, if they have one.

This is not the first Apple Watch connection issue Peloton has dealt with. In March 2024, another intermittent bug affected members using Apple Watch as a heart rate monitor on Peloton hardware. In that case, the watch could pair normally but heart rate information would not appear on the Peloton screen. Peloton resolved that issue about a week later.

The current problem is different, with Peloton specifically describing the Apple Watch app itself as intermittently crashing while connecting to a workout.

Members can follow the incident and subscribe for updates on Peloton’s status page.

We will share an update once Peloton confirms a fix.

Bookings open Thursday, September 10 at 5:00pm BST (12:00pm ET), alongside Peloton’s regular weekly release of new studio bookings.

Peloton Studios announced the class through Instagram Stories, writing:

“Core with Emma! Join us for a special in-person core strength class with Emma in the PSL foyer on Saturday 26 September at 10am! Space is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note, this exclusive session will not be streamed on the platform.”

Unlike Emma’s regular Peloton classes that weekend, the foyer workout will only be available to the members attending in person. It will not be streamed live or released on demand afterward.

This follows a similar foyer class with Denis Morton on August 22. Denis taught an in-person Yoga class in the same space at 10:00am on a Saturday, with limited capacity and no stream for members at home.

Both foyer classes fall during Peloton’s summer exchange bringing eight New York-based instructors to Peloton Studios London. Denis visited August 21-23, while Emma’s residency is scheduled for September 25-27 and is the final stop in the three-month exchange.

The foyer has also been used for member workouts outside of these instructor-led events. At the beginning of 2026, Peloton began offering free bookable sessions where members could take on-demand mat classes together using the large screen in the PSL foyer. Live Sunday classes later returned to the London schedule, but the space has continued to provide another option for community events and workouts.

Members hoping to attend Emma’s Core class can try to book a spot through the Peloton Studios London booking website when registration opens Thursday at 5:00pm BST / 12:00pm ET. Space is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

You can also find our tips and tricks for booking an in-person Peloton class.

Muse is designed to complete tasks on a user’s behalf – similar to how Claude Cowork and ChatGPT Work function. It says it can continue working after the app has been closed, ask for approval when needed, and monitor things over time.

For Peloton members, it has the ability to search for classes, add to schedules, build programs, and even give you daily alerts on new classes added to the schedule.

Muse is rolling out in the United States on iOS, Android, and the web at Muse.ai. Members can also communicate with it through WhatsApp. Most features are available through a free tier, with subscriptions available for people who need more usage.

This is Peloton’s third AI integration in less than a year. Peloton first launched a connector for ChatGPT in November, followed by the Peloton IQ chatbot and automatic workout plan builder inside the Peloton app in July.

We’ve had a chance to try out the Peloton functions inside the Muse AI integration. This includes class searches, adding and removing classes from the Peloton schedule, building strength and marathon plans, asking Muse to analyze an exported Peloton workout-history file, and continuing to run tasks in the background and alert us.

Most simple requests were completed quickly, and scheduling classes was much more reliable than it was during our initial testing of Peloton’s ChatGPT integration. Muse can also build far more detailed training plans than Peloton IQ.

However, there are still major limitations in the Peloton data available through the connector. Most importantly, Muse cannot access a member’s workout history. Its attempt to analyze an uploaded Peloton workout-history export also produced significantly incorrect results.

Peloton appears in the Connectors section of the Muse settings menu. Selecting it opens Peloton’s own OAuth authorization page at auth.onepeloton.com, so Peloton credentials are entered directly through Peloton rather than being provided to Muse.

The Peloton authorization page lists permission to add to workout history, browse live, on-demand, and encore classes and instructors, and maintain offline access.

There is no permission listed for reading a member’s workout history, which explains one of the integration’s biggest current limitations.

Muse provides separate controls for the individual actions available through the connector. Access to browsing classes and schedules, managing the workout schedule, and disconnecting the Peloton account can each be set to Allow, Ask, or Deny.

Setting schedule management to Ask requires Muse to request approval before adding, moving, or removing Peloton classes.

When asked what it could do with Peloton connected, Muse said it could browse classes by instructor, discipline, duration, difficulty, or music style; check upcoming live classes; book, reschedule, and cancel workouts; and provide direct links that open classes in Peloton.

Basic searches worked well during our testing. Asking for Matt Wilpers’ upcoming classes returned three live classes over the following week. Expanding the search to 30 days returned 14 classes extending through October 3. This ability to search up to 30 days is likely a quirk that will be removed in the future, as Peloton only lets you see the upcoming 2 weeks worth of classes in the Peloton app.

The results included a Peloton Tri triple-header on September 19 and a 120 minute Power Zone Endurance Ride on September 26.

Muse also performed much better than ChatGPT when asked for an instructor’s most recent on-demand classes. A request for Ben Alldis’ five newest classes returned workouts from September 6 and 7, just one or two days old. During our testing of the ChatGPT integration last November, a similar request returned supposedly recent classes from 2021 and 2022.

However, Muse was not able to search for classes based on artists or songs included in the playlists of classes. For example, we searched for classes with songs by R.E.M., which it explained it could not do.

A search for Outkast classes did work, but that was because Peloton has an Outkast Artist Series and the artist’s name appears in the class titles. When asked for every Outkast class, Muse correctly returned five workouts across cycling, running, strength, and yoga.

Muse also could not find classes that stay entirely in Power Zone 2. It returned Power Zone Endurance rides and explained that they generally use Zones 2 and 3. The examples returned were in fact a mix of Zone 2 & 3, rather than just pure zone 2 classes.

A search for hypertrophy strength classes caused Muse to share why it couldn’t find them, but to suggest some specific class types to look for.

Scheduling classes on Peloton through Muse worked as expected in almost every aspect.

Muse added a 60 minute Power Zone Endurance Ride with Matt Wilpers to the Peloton schedule, and the class appeared in the Peloton app immediately. It also scheduled Denis Morton’s 30 minute Deep Dive: Outkast class and then was able to move it to another day when asked.

Muse did attempt to add classes beyond the two weeks currently visible in the Peloton app. It scheduled Matt Wilpers’ 30 minute 80s Run from September 3rd for both September 22 and September 25.

Since the Peloton schedule only shows the next 2 weeks, the September 25 & 22nd addition were not visible, even though it suggested it had added it. However, once the schedule rolled forward a day to the next day, the class Muse had added on the 22nd was on the upcoming schedule.

Muse also handled a larger schedule change correctly. After adding 12 classes from a strength plan, we asked it to remove those workouts while leaving everything else alone. It removed the 12 strength classes and correctly kept two unrelated classes.

While Muse can add new classes to the schedule, and then move those, it does not have the ability to see classes already on your schedule that you did not add.

When asked which days still needed a workout, it explained that it could add, move, and delete scheduled workouts but could not review the full existing schedule.

Muse appears to only have access to “standard” Peloton classes in the catalog, and can only work with your schedule.

Muse cannot add classes to the Peloton Stack. It can provide a direct link to a class, but the member must open Peloton and add it to the Stack manually. It also cannot search Lanebreak workouts or enroll a member in a Peloton Program.

In some cases, Muse offered to use its browser instead. When asked to find a Madonna Lanebreak level, for example, it opened Peloton’s website and asked for Peloton credentials to be placed in its separate secure credential system. This is an example of Muse trying to take action on a user’s behalf.

Muse also said that outdoor audio running classes were not included in the Peloton connector, but it did attempt to find them through the web instead.

For example, when asked, Muse stated Peloton only had 3 2 hour running classes. This is technically true, as there are only 3 available in the standard on-demand library in the “running” category. However, it was not able to find the outdoor audio running classes.

At one point, while building a program, Muse suggested only Becs Gentry had a 2 hour run. A fresh conversation produced a better answer that included Becs, Matt, and Susie, suggesting that at least some of the incorrect response may have resulted from the longer conversation losing context.

Muse also has the ability to create much more detailed workout plans than either of Peloton’s previous AI integrations.

Our first request for a five-day split strength program resulted in a generic gym plan instead of a Peloton plan, even though the conversation up to that point had focused on Peloton. After being specifically asked to use Peloton classes, Muse rebuilt the plan with 12 Peloton workouts spread across five days. The plan used two or three classes per day to target the requested muscle groups.

However, this build process resulted in a bug in the Muse app. Muse attempted to ask what equipment was available, but instead displayed the earlier choices asking what we wanted to name the assistant. We ignored those choices and typed in the available equipment, and Muse proceeded correctly.

The Peloton-specific strength plan took approximately five minutes to complete and was delivered as a designed PDF. After being asked to, Muse then added all 12 classes to the Peloton schedule, using slightly offset start times so the classes were arranged back-to-back each day.

Muse was also able to build a complete marathon training plan using Peloton classes.

We told Muse that the runner currently had an eight-mile long run and was training for a January 31 marathon. In approximately five minutes, it created a complete 20-week plan with five runs per week, three cutback weeks, a 20-mile peak long run, and a taper.

The plan included specific Peloton class recommendations and links to many of the selected workouts.

This is far beyond what the Peloton IQ plan builder currently supports. Peloton IQ creates a single week that repeats, limits workouts to 60 minutes, and generally selects workout types and durations rather than allowing the member to build a long-term plan around specific classes and instructors.

We then asked Muse to rebuild the marathon plan using only English-language classes and to prioritize Mariana Fernández, Matt Wilpers, Susie Chan, and Adrian Williams. That revision took approximately 25 minutes.

When asked about the delay, Muse said it needed to check the language of every potential class individually because Peloton’s normal class search did not provide that information efficiently. The original plan had included classes from German-language instructors.

The rebuilt plan did not simply exchange each original class for an equivalent English-language class. In some cases, a stack containing a 30 minute class and a 20 minute class became one 45 minute class, changing the total duration.

The plans also acknowledged that Peloton does not always offer enough class time to cover the prescribed long-run distance. On those days, Muse instructed the runner to continue after the selected class ended.

Finally, we asked Muse to rebuild the plan around Peloton’s Pace Your Race marathon program.

It created a polished 16-page PDF with two base-building weeks followed by the complete 18-week Peloton program.

Despite language during Muse’s startup suggesting it could look back at recent workouts when planning future sessions, the Peloton connector cannot currently access a member’s workout history.

When asked to analyze recent Peloton workouts, Muse explained that its connection covered the class catalog and scheduling, but not completed workouts.

Muse suggested exporting workout history from the Peloton website and uploading the CSV file directly. We did that, but the resulting analysis from Muse was incorrect.

Muse said it had reviewed 1,132 workouts. The uploaded Peloton export actually contained 2,134 workout rows.

For the period from June 10 through September 8, Muse reported 15 workouts totaling 920 minutes. It described those as six runs, five rides, and four walks. The file actually contained 66 workouts during that period, totaling 2,997 minutes: 39 runs, 23 rides, and four walks.

Muse reported 513 workout minutes in July and 236 in August. The actual totals were 1,200 minutes in July and 966 in August.

It also said the most recent workout in the file was from August 29 and warned that the export appeared to be missing the previous ten days. The CSV included workouts through September 8.

When asked specifically about August cycling, Muse said there had been only one ride. There were four, including a 45 minute Classic Rock Ride with Leanne Hainsby on August 26.

Muse also claimed the six recent runs were all between 1.2 and 2.7 miles and that the longest run recorded during 2026 was 4.1 miles in January. The file included two 90 minute Long Runs in August covering 7.42 and 7.63 miles.

Some of its findings were accurate. Muse correctly identified several unusually long Just Ride workouts, including three two-hour rides and one three-and-a-half-hour ride. It also correctly noted that there had been no strength workouts during the requested period.

However, it missed most of the workouts and therefore produced incorrect totals, averages, and training conclusions.

Some of these errors may be due to timestamp & timezone issues. Given that this was Muse working from a CSV export (and the CSV was verified to have the full history) rather than the Peloton connector to run this analysis, this would be a bug on Muse’s side to fix, not Peloton’s.

We then asked Muse to use our history to update our marathon training plan, and it used the previous incorrect analysis to carry over to the plan.

The resulting training plan PDF was labeled “Built From Your Actual Training” and included a section titled “What the file says.” It repeated the claims that the longest run of 2026 was 4.1 miles and that recent running volume had peaked at approximately seven miles per week.

Neither statement was correct. Members should not rely on Muse’s analysis of an exported Peloton CSV without checking its figures first.

Despite all of this testing, Muse showed only 9% of the weekly free allowance used. That testing included numerous class searches, scheduling and removing workouts, four large training-plan builds, multiple PDF documents, and the approximately 25-minute marathon-plan revision.

This is a significant difference from Peloton’s ChatGPT integration at launch, when free ChatGPT users could hit usage limits after only a few larger requests. Based on our testing, most Peloton members appear unlikely to need a paid Muse subscription simply to search for classes, schedule workouts, or occasionally build a training plan.

One feature that is unique to Muse at this point is its ability to continue working in the background.

We asked it to check the Peloton schedule every morning at 8:00am for newly added classes from a list of instructors approximately two weeks in the future. Muse accepted the task and said it would check a 13- to 15-day window so it would not miss classes posted slightly earlier or later.

We also asked Muse to notify us the next time Matt Wilpers added a 120 minute ride to the schedule, and it agreed to check daily.

The next morning, at 7:57am, we got a push notification from Muse on our phone that Muse had found new rides matching our criteria

Opening Muse from the alert took us to the conversation, where it showed the new classes that matched our criteria. Again, these are technically further than the normal 2 week period that the Peloton schedule shows.

ChatGPT and the Peloton IQ chatbot require a member to ask a specific question at the time they want a response. Muse’s ability to monitor for new classes automatically could become one of the more useful parts of the integration if the notifications work reliably.

As previously mentioned, with the launch of Muse, Peloton members now have three major AI tools available to them that work natively with Peloton.

Peloton IQ lives inside the Peloton app and can use information from a member’s workout history, but its plan builder remains limited. It creates shorter repeating plans and allows Peloton to choose the specific classes.

ChatGPT can work with individual Peloton classes, but during our launch testing its class search and scheduling actions were unreliable.

Muse can also work at the individual-class level, and its scheduling actions worked much more consistently during our testing. It can create detailed, multi-month training plans, generate PDFs, schedule several classes at once, and monitor the future schedule without waiting for another prompt.

However, the third party integrations by Muse and ChatGPT still cannot directly read what the member has already completed.

Uploading a workout-history export should have provided a workaround, but Muse’s analysis missed most of the workouts and then used those incorrect findings in a personalized training plan.

While Peloton is working with major platforms, they are also building out their own AI features. Recent patents applications show AI generated voice cues from instructors and classes that change mid-workout.

Peloton is also allowing members to provide more customization to their own Peloton IQ AI tools. New movement preferences and content preferences let members give direct guidance into what they want the AI tools to suggest to them.

Peloton Studios announced Mai’s visit through Instagram Stories under the heading “Live aus den Peloton Studios London,” or “Live from Peloton Studios London.” Their announcement roughly translates to:

“Schlager Week continues with special guest Vanessa Mai! The chart-topper will join Jeffrey, Benny and members in the studio on Wednesday for unforgettable workouts full of energy.”

Mai will appear in two live classes. Both of these will also have members in studio for the classes as well.

• 30 min Schlager Run w/ Vanessa Mai – Jeffrey McEachern – 9/9/26 @ 11:00am ET [German]
• 30 min Schlager Ride w/ Vanessa Mai – Benny Adami – 9/9/26 @ 12:30pm ET [German]

Peloton describes Jeffrey’s Run as:

“Feel-good run on the tread! Jeffrey McEachern and Vanessa Mai bring the best sing-along bangers to the treadmill. This is where you can be yourself, leave everyday life behind, and run along to uplifting beats!”

The Ride with Benny is described as:

“Banger party on the Bike! Benny Adami and special guest Vanessa Mai bring full confetti power, maximum motivation, and burning legs with the best top hits. Ride along, sing along, and go full throttle!”

The classes are part of Peloton’s week-long Schlager celebration, which runs September 7-13 with a different theme each day and a new Schlager Week badge for members to earn.

Tuesday’s programming was a four-class Wolfgang Petry Artist Series, while Wednesday was announced from the beginning as a day featuring special guest Vanessa Mai.

Mai is not the first recording artist to join a class from Peloton Studios London. Earlier this year, Melanie C was in studio for Peloton’s “Sweat” Artist Series.

Members who take either Vanessa Mai class should also be able to earn the new Schlager Week badge tied to this week’s programming.

The refurbished Original Series Bike plan remains unchanged at $149. Both refurbished plans have flat pricing, meaning members pay the same amount whether they add the plan when purchasing their hardware or later during the eligibility period.

That differs from Peloton’s newer Cross Training hardware. For example, the Cross Training Bike+ Protection Plan costs $269 when purchased within 30 days of the hardware purchase, but increases to $319 when purchased later.

When Peloton overhauled Protection Plan pricing in October 2025, the company raised prices across their current hardware and introduced the two pricing tiers based on when coverage was purchased. The refurbished Original Series Bike and Bike+ were exceptions, remaining at flat rates of $149 and $249 respectively.

The latest change also creates a $50 difference between new and refurbished versions of the Original Series Bike+. The Protection Plan for a new Original Series Bike+ remains $249, while coverage for the refurbished version of the same hardware is now $199.

The price reduction follows a much larger change to the cost of the hardware itself. Peloton permanently lowered the Certified Refurbished Original Series Bike+ from $1,995 to $1,395 in May, a $600 reduction.

Adding the newly priced $199 Protection Plan brings the combined cost of the refurbished Bike+ and extended protection to $1,594, before taxes and the separate Peloton All-Access Membership.

The coverage itself has not changed. Peloton’s standard limited warranty provides 12 months of coverage, while the Protection Plan extends coverage by another 36 months for 48 months total.

There is a $0 deductible and no annual claim limit, subject to the maximum liability outlined in the plan terms.

Members can purchase a Protection Plan for eligible hardware for up to 12 months after delivery. If it is purchased after delivery, accidental damage coverage begins 30 days after the plan is purchased, while the other portions of the coverage begin immediately. Coverage still ends 48 months after the original hardware delivery date.

Protection Plans purchased on or after April 5, 2022 can also be transferred once by the original owner to a subsequent owner, and Peloton allows plans to be returned at any time for a prorated refund.

We will continue tracking Peloton pricing changes as they roll out.

Peloton Studios announced “Schlagerwoche,” or Schlager Week, through Instagram Stories. Their description roughly translates to “training to the rousing melodies, catchy lyrics, and cheerful beats of Schlager while exploring the different sides of the feel-good genre.”

Each day of the week has its own theme:

• Monday – Party Schlager
• Tuesday – Wolfgang Petry Artist Series
• Wednesday – With special guest Vanessa Mai
• Thursday – Italo Schlager
• Friday – Schlager Pop
• Saturday – Schlager Hitparade
• Sunday – Schlager Foam Rolling

All of the Schlager Week classes are taught in German. Peloton has also created a new badge that members can earn by taking one of the classes included in the week.

Tuesday’s programming is a new Artist Series featuring Wolfgang Petry, and Wednesday will feature an artist series with Vanessa Mai in studio.

Peloton announced the Wolfgang Petry series separately on Instagram, writing:

“Let the unmistakable sound of @wolfgangpetry_das_original push you further on the Bike, Tread, and mat in classes that are a highlight of our week-long celebration of schlager. Hits you know by heart await.”

Four classes make up the Wolfgang Petry Artist Series, all taught in German and released Tuesday, September 8.

Peloton Wolfgang Petry Classes & Schedule & Workouts – Featured Artist Series

• 10 min Wolfgang Petry Warm Up Ride – Benny Adami – 9/8/26 @ 12:00am ET [German, On Demand]
• 30 min Wolfgang Petry Walk + Run – Marcel Maurer – 9/8/26 @ 2:00am ET [German]
• 15 min Wolfgang Petry Core Strength – Assal Arian – 9/8/26 @ 11:00am ET [German]
• 30 min Wolfgang Petry Ride – Erik Jäger – 9/8/26 @ 12:00pm ET [German]

The Wolfgang Petry series comes about two months after Peloton released another four-class German-language Schlager Artist Series featuring Helene Fischer. Assal Arian, Benny Adami, and Erik Jäger are instructors in both series.

Schlager Week also follows Peloton’s Reiselust Week in early August, which featured 14 German-language classes spread across seven days. Reiselust is Peloton’s annual German summer series and was previously known as Summer Break.

Members can find our complete list of Peloton badges here, as well as our running list of Peloton Artist Series classes.

Peloton shared the news on Instagram, writing:

“Leanne’s back in the studio! 🙌💗. Join @leannehainsby for a 30-min Pop Ride Sun, Sep 13 @ 9:30 AM ET | 2:30 PM BST”

In-studio spots for the class were released today as well, giving members the opportunity to be at Peloton Studios London for Leanne’s first live class back.

Leanne already has four more live classes on the schedule over the following week:

• 30 min Pop Ride – Leanne Hainsby-Alldis – 9/13/26 @ 9:30am ET
• 30 min Intervals & Arms Ride – Leanne Hainsby-Alldis – 9/14/26 @ 3:00am ET
• 30 min Classic Rock Ride – Leanne Hainsby-Alldis – 9/15/26 @ 4:00am ET
• 20 min HIIT Ride – Leanne Hainsby-Alldis – 9/20/26 @ 9:30am ET
• 20 min 90s Ride – Leanne Hainsby-Alldis – 9/20/26 @ 10:00am ET

All five of Leanne’s classes currently on the live schedule are rides, so her return to barre is still to come.

Leanne has been on maternity leave since late 2025. She and her husband, fellow Peloton instructor Ben Alldis, announced they were expecting their first child in August 2025 and welcomed their son, Ace Eddie Alldis, on December 10.

Ben returned from his own parental leave on March 6, teaching his first live Peloton class since Ace’s birth.

Leanne’s September 13 Pop Ride will now mark her own return to teaching live at Peloton.

Welcome back, Leanne!

The updated comment section has three options beneath the text field: mentioning another member, attaching an image, or adding a link.

Links show up as a card underneath the comment text, showing a link icon and the domain rather than the full URL. Photos appear directly beneath the text of a published comment.

The update expands on the photo sharing Peloton added to Team posts in March. That update allowed members to attach up to four photos to a main post; images can now be added further down the conversation through comments as well.

You may also have up to 4 photos in your comment on a post.

Peloton has continued to expanded Teams since launching the feature in 2024 as invite-only groups of up to 100 members. Free-form posts arrived in 2025, giving members a way to start conversations within their Team, while Team affiliations later became visible on the in-class leaderboard.

Peloton has also begun using Teams as part of some of their organized training initiatives. A Peloton Triathlon Team launched last month alongside a four-week training plan, while the Outdoor Run Club Series directs members to Peloton’s Race Training Team. Links and photos in comments give members in those groups another way to share resources and continue discussions beneath individual posts.

Peloton Studios London is not closing, so there will still be some live classes that day.

That includes the Club Peloton Live Class with Ben Alldis, a 20 min Chest & Back Strength class at 9:30am ET for Champion members and above.

This is similar to last year, when for Labor Day 2025, PSNY was also closed while Peloton Studios London continued with a limited live schedule.

The difference this year is the days around the holiday. In 2025, both studios were also closed on the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of Labor Day weekend. Peloton is not having a similar extended closure for 2026, with the PSNY closure only on Monday, September 7.

Peloton Studios New York was closed from August 17-19, while Peloton Studios London closed beginning August 24 for its own maintenance period.

Expect to see some new on-demand classes released overnight on Labor Day, along with the live classes from London.

We will share updates as Peloton announces any additional studio closures.

The 2027 National Running Show takes place Saturday, January 30 and Sunday, January 31 at the NEC in Birmingham England with doors open from 9:00am to 5:00pm both days. Susie is listed on the event’s speakers page and has a dedicated profile as one of the 2027 hosts.

Susie also hosted the National Running Show earlier this year, and has been involved with the event going all the way back to its first edition in 2018.

The organizers recently highlighted that history as part of their “Miles and Milestones” series, writing on Instagram:

“From presenting the very first National Running Show in 2018 to becoming one of its most familiar faces, @susie_chan_ has been part of our journey from the beginning.”

As part of the feature, Susie looked back at snowy opening days, large queues, backstage laughs with fellow host Iwan Thomas, and the running community that has grown around the show.

Susie said, “I think it is the community. This show brings it to everyone.” She added that the appeal of the event is “hard to articulate, as it’s a feeling, more than something tangible. I come away each year so very inspired and hyped up about running.”

For the 2026 event, Peloton members could purchase a weekend ticket for £5 with a special “PELOTON” discount code. No similar Peloton ticket offer has been announced for the 2027 event at this time.

Tickets for the January 30-31 event are available now through the National Running Show website.

Peloton describes “Katie’s 4 Day Int. Split” as:

“Yes! Four days, four focused workouts. Target different muscle groups each day and build strength with Katie’s new 4-day Split program.”

The program includes Chest & Triceps, Legs & Core, Back & Biceps, and Legs & Shoulders workouts. They are scheduled for Days 1, 2, 4, and 5, giving members recovery days between the first and second halves of the split.

All four classes are 45 minutes long, for a total of three hours of strength work across the four training days.

This is Katie’s first official traditional Split strength program on Peloton. She previously created an unofficial three-day split in 2025, telling members to bookmark three on-demand classes and repeat them weekly for four to six weeks. At the time, Katie said positive feedback could potentially lead to an official program in the future.

Katie also already has a 4 Day Split + Row program, released as part of Peloton’s Split+ lineup. That program combines targeted strength work with rowing, while the new Intermediate Split consists entirely of traditional strength classes.

Peloton announced the new program on social media, writing:

“Y’all ready to get strong with Wang? 👀💪
@katiewongspelledwang’s new 4 Day Split is here. Four days, four focused workouts, and plenty of opportunities to get stronger.”

Below you will find the full details and class list for Katie’s new 4 day split strength program

Peloton describes the class collection as:

“Celebrate 5 years of Marcel D with this collection of her signature classes. From Trap runs to epic Artist Series classes, relive all of your favorite Marcel D moments.”

The collection is grouped into five sections:

• Greatest of All Time
• Top Artist Series
• Top Trap Walks & Runs
• Top Walks
• Top Runs

The Artist Series section includes Imagine Dragons, Lizzo, Foo Fighters, 2Pac, Boy Band Mixtape, Cardi B, Selena Gomez, Red Hot Chili Peppers, De La Soul, and The Killers.

You can find Marcel D’s Greatest Hits collection here.

Peloton also marked the anniversary on Instagram, writing:

“Five years of @officialmarcelfit 🥳
The energy. The encouragement. The moments we’ll never forget. Happy 5 years, Marcel! ❤️”

The accompanying video has Marcel looking back on her first Peloton class and some of her favorite moments from the last five years, along with advice she would give herself during her first year with the company.

She also looks ahead, saying she “can’t wait to teach more programs.”

That follows the launch of Marcel’s first Peloton program, The Progressive Method, in June. The four-week running program includes Tread and outdoor classes and builds toward a 75-minute progression run.

Marcel also added a 120 min Long Run to the library in July.

Marcel was announced in August 2021 as one of three new Peloton Tread instructors, alongside Kirsten Ferguson and Daniel McKenna.

This is the second Greatest Hits collection in less than a week for that 2021 Tread instructor group. Kirsten Ferguson’s Greatest Hits collection arrived on August 30, five days before Marcel’s, matching the order of their premiere classes in 2021.

Daniel McKenna, the third instructor announced alongside Marcel and Kirsten, left Peloton in 2022.

Congratulations to Marcel Dinkins on five years with Peloton!

On the Peloton App, you can find this feature tapping your Profile icon in the bottom right, opening the menu in the top right, and selecting “Mobility” under Preferences. On Peloton hardware, press the 3 dot menu on the bottom right of the screen, and then select “Profile Settings.” There, on the left side, under Fitness Preferences, select “Mobility.”

Peloton describes the setting as a way to “adjust recommendations and flag movements that don’t match your preferences.”

Tapping into the setting opens a “Set movements to avoid” screen, with movements organized under All, Upper body, Core and back, Lower body, and Full body.

Members can currently flag 20 different movement types:

• Load-bearing wrist movements
• Side-to-side movements
• Twisting
• Bending forward
• Deep hip bending
• Deep knee bending
• Extending and lifting back
• Hand and grip strength
• Head below heart and rapid up-and-down
• Jumping and high impact
• Loaded elbow movements
• Loaded overhead movements
• Lying on back
• Lying on stomach
• Pelvic floor and core pressure
• Repetitive knee bending
• Side bending
• Single-leg and balance
• Spinal compression
• Weighted hinging

Each preference covers a broader movement pattern rather than one specific exercise.

For example, Peloton describes Load-bearing wrist movements as exercises where the hands support bodyweight with the wrists flexed. Examples include Bear Crawls, Burpees, Downward Dog, Mountain Climbers, Planks, Push-ups, Renegade Rows, and Tricep Dips.

As you save the movements you wish to avoid, you can see a list of what your current settings are,

Once preferences are saved, Peloton begins surfacing warnings on affected classes.

In the on-demand library, a yellow flag appears directly on class thumbnails containing one or more movements that conflict with your preferences. The flag sits alongside the class difficulty rating, making it possible to spot a potential conflict before opening the workout.

Opening one of those classes provides more detail.

A “Flagged movements” row appears on the class details screen with a count of how many movements were identified.

Tapping it shows exactly which exercises triggered the warning, grouped by the movement preference they matched.

In one 30 min Full Body Strength class with Tunde Oyeneyin, three movements were flagged. Skater Hop and Bridging Clamshell appeared under Side-to-side movements, while World’s Greatest Stretch appeared under Twisting.

The screen also includes shortcuts to “View class plan” and edit your movement preferences.

The same warnings carry into the full class plan.

Yellow flags appear beside individual exercises and on section headers containing flagged movements, making it possible to see where in the workout the conflicts occur before starting the class.

That builds on Peloton’s existing detailed Class Plan feature, which already lets members preview the movements and timing inside strength and other classes.

Movement Preferences add a personalized layer to that information. Rather than simply showing what is in a workout, Peloton can now highlight the parts that specifically conflict with preferences set by an individual member.

This new feature doesn’t only apply to strength. For example, when viewing the yoga section of the on-demand library, classes are flagged there as well.

Peloton does have some disclaimers around this feature, saying members should review movements marked with the icon “as they may be outside your preferences,” and adds “Always use your best judgment before starting a class.”

Classes containing flagged movements are not hidden or removed from the library. Instead, Peloton leaves them available while adding warnings and more detailed movement information. However, down the road one could easily see Peloton updating the filters in the on-demand library to give members an option to let them filter out classes containing their flagged movements.

The flagged movement preferences also feed into Peloton IQ. Peloton says class recommendations will be personalized around the movement preferences a member has selected, meaning the choices are used when deciding which workouts to suggest rather than only serving as warnings after a class has already been surfaced.

That follows the new Content Preferences feature Peloton added this week, which lets members directly choose favorite instructors, music genres, and activity types to help shape their recommendations.

Together, the two settings give members more direct control over both sides of Peloton IQ recommendations and the AI class recommendations Peloton provides, letting members share what they would like to see more often and which movements they would prefer to avoid.

Will you be setting any movement preferences?
