Peloton describes what they are looking for on the submission form:

“We’re looking for 3 Peloton members who are taking on the marathon to feature as we follow and share their journey. Whether it’s you or someone you know, we’re looking for the stories behind the miles. Maybe it’s a mother and daughter duo, a grandparent running the marathon, a comeback story, or someone taking on their first marathon.”

Members need to be running the marathon and, as Peloton puts it, “love us as much as we love them.”

The form asks for a member’s name, email, Leaderboard name, age range, and pronouns, along with their marathon story, what role Peloton has played in their training, and what inspired them to take on the race.

Applicants can also upload photos or videos of themselves training with Peloton for the NYC Marathon.

The submission also includes consent for Peloton to use a member’s submitted content, name, Leaderboard name, social media handle, likeness, voice, and statements for worldwide marketing and promotional purposes. A separate NYRR publicity release covers photos, video, and other records from participation in the marathon.

Peloton has not listed a submission deadline on the form. The 2026 TCS New York City Marathon takes place Sunday, November 1.

This is the third member-content opportunity Peloton has promoted since late August. Peloton first sought members for a professional brand photo and video shoot in New York, with that casting call putting a particular focus on runners, walkers, and their fitness stories.

A few weeks later, Peloton asked members to submit their own videos of Bike and Tread workouts at home for potential use by the company.

If you are running the marathon and want to be considered, you can submit your story through Peloton’s form.

All six classes were released on Thursday, October 1 at 12:00am ET, the same day Peloton began gradually rolling out Sled Mode to all Tread+ owners.

Peloton describes the new Sled Mode collection by saying:

“Ready to train like a pro? Sled Mode adds resistance to your slat belt to mimic elite cross-training competitions. Give it a push and build serious lower body power.”

You can view the complete list of new Peloton sled mode classes for the Tread+ below:

• 20 min Intro to Sled Training – Andy Speer – 10/1/26 @ 12:00am ET [On Demand]
• 5 min Sled Warm Up – Andy Speer – 10/1/26 @ 12:00am ET [On Demand]
• 15 min Sled: Strength – Marcel Dinkins – 10/1/26 @ 12:00am ET [On Demand]
• 20 min Sled: Strength – Adrian Williams – 10/1/26 @ 12:00am ET [On Demand]
• 15 min Sled: Strength & Conditioning – Logan Aldridge – 10/1/26 @ 12:00am ET [On Demand]
• 20 min Sled: Strength & Conditioning – Matt Wilpers – 10/1/26 @ 12:00am ET [On Demand]

Andy Speer’s 20 min Intro to Sled Training is designed as the starting point, with Andy breaking down different sled techniques and helping members find the appropriate weight calibration for their goals.

His 5 min Sled Warm Up is designed to prepare members before moving into one of the longer workouts.

From there, the collection has two main formats. The Sled: Strength classes from Marcel Dinkins and Adrian Williams focus on heavy sled pushes for lower-body strength, glutes, and core stability.

The Sled: Strength & Conditioning workouts from Logan Aldridge and Matt Wilpers use dynamic sled intervals to combine strength work with a cardio challenge.

In case you missed it, we first shared last week that Peloton was adding Sled Mode to every generation of Tread+. Logan Aldridge and Andy Speer were among the instructors Peloton previewed for the new workout format, with Matt Wilpers, Marcel Dinkins, and Adrian Williams now also part of the launch lineup.

Sled Mode is available on the Tread+ Vision, Cross Training Tread+, and Original Series Tread+. It is not available on Tread Flex, Tread Vision, Cross Training Tread, or the Original Series Tread because the feature requires the Tread+’s slat belt.

To activate Sled Mode, members first bring the Tread+ to 0 mph and 0% incline, then press the physical Free Mode button on the handrail. An on-screen control can then be used to add between 30 and 300 pounds of resistance to the belt. The selected resistance does not carry over each time Sled Mode is activated. Members need to choose their desired weight again for each sled interval.

Sled Mode also has its own workout metrics. While it is active, members can see their Sled Speed, Pace, Output, and Distance in meters. Afterward, Workout History displays “Sled Splits” for each portion of the workout where Sled Mode was enabled, including the Speed, Output, Weight, and Distance from each interval. Those Sled Mode metrics can also be viewed in Workout History through the Peloton App.

Members are not limited to the six coached workouts. Sled Mode can also be used during Just Run sessions, and Peloton says they will be adding a dedicated Sled Mode filter to the class library.

Peloton recommends making sure the Tread+ software is fully up to date if sled mode is not yet available.

Peloton has specifically described Sled Mode as a HYROX training feature, and the sled push is one of the standard stations in a HYROX race. Hyrox and Peloton launched a partnership last year.

The sales come on the same day the Peloton Tread Flex, Tread Vision, and Tread+ Vision officially went on sale in the United States and Canada.

Peloton emailed members about the offer with the subject line “Your Tread Upgrade is here,” writing:

“Our first Tread model that is both foldable and movable. Early access to holiday deals on our new Tread products as low as $1,995.”

Members receiving the email are given a unique promotional code to apply at checkout. The discounts work out to:

• Peloton Tread Flex – $200 off, bringing the price from $2,195 to $1,995
• Peloton Tread Vision – $700 off, bringing the price from $3,495 to $2,795
• Peloton Tread+ Vision – $1,400 off, bringing the price from $6,695 to $5,295

The Tread Flex discount works out to about 9%, while both Vision models are discounted by around 20%.

The offer runs through Wednesday, November 11 at 11:59pm ET and is limited to current Peloton members in the United States.

The promotional code can be used for one of each eligible Tread model across up to three separate purchases. The required $299 assembly fee for Tread+ Vision is not included in the discount, bringing that model to $5,594 before tax. Peloton also says the offer can be combined with “certain other offers,” though they do not specify which ones.

For Tread Flex and Tread Vision, members can also choose optional assembly for $150 or assemble the treadmill themselves.

CEO Peter Stern said during Peloton’s Q4 FY2026 earnings call in August that existing members would receive a “substantial discount” on upcoming new products, talking about their loyalty and the value of their existing subscriptions.

Peloton followed a similar strategy when the Cross Training hardware launched on October 1, 2025. Existing members received launch codes worth $500 off the Cross Training Tread and $1,200 off the Cross Training Tread+.

The $700 discount this year brings the $3,495 Tread Vision to $2,795, exactly the same price existing members were offered on last year’s $3,295 Cross Training Tread.

The Tread+ Vision discount is larger this year. Members can buy it for $5,295, compared to the $5,495 launch price offered to members on the Cross Training Tread+ last year.

However, last year’s member pricing did not remain exclusive. Peloton’s public Black Friday sale opened on November 12 with the same discounts, and the company later increased the Cross Training Tread+ discount to $1,400, bringing it to the same $5,295 price now being offered on Tread+ Vision.

Peloton’s use of the phrase “early access to holiday deals” suggests these prices could be connected to their broader holiday promotion starting with 2026 Black Friday sales.

Not every member appears to have received their promotional code yet. We have heard from members who have been able to contact a Peloton showroom or sales representative and have the discount applied directly. Members who ordered one of the new Treads before receiving their code have also reported success getting Peloton to match or apply the discount after the purchase. Some have needed to contact Peloton more than once before finding a representative able to assist.

Despite the “Your Tread Upgrade is here” wording, this is a purchase discount rather than a trade-in offer. As we previously shared, Peloton is not offering a trade-in program for existing Tread or Tread+ owners with the new lineup.

Existing members interested in the offer should check their email for the “Your Tread Upgrade is here” message and their unique promotional code. The offer expires November 11 at 11:59pm ET.

The 30 min Eine Einheit Walk was added to the on-demand library on Thursday, October 1 at 12:00am ET, two days ahead of German Unity Day on Saturday, October 3.

Peloton describes the class by saying:

“Get moving together! To celebrate German Unity Day, the entire Peloton Trainer team invites you to join us for a 30-minute outdoor walk, during which we’ll celebrate our typical German traditions, among other things.”

The class is:

• 30 min Eine Einheit Walk – German Instructors – 10/1/26 @ 12:00am ET [German, On Demand]

All 10 of Peloton’s current German instructors appear in the class. They are Assal Arian, Benny Adami, Charlotte Weidenbach, Cliff Dwenger, Erik Jäger, Jeffrey McEachern, Marcel Maurer, Mayla Wedekind, Mila Lazar & Nico Sarani.

Members who complete the class can also earn a new German Unity Day badge, titled “Eine Einheit,” for 2026. You can always find our complete list of Peloton badges and special achievements here.

German Unity Day, or Tag der Deutschen Einheit, takes place every October 3 and commemorates Germany’s reunification in 1990.

Peloton has celebrated the holiday with special German-language programming in previous years. The 2023 celebration included two multi-instructor classes, with the German coaching team divided between a 45 min Unity Outdoor Walk + Run and a 30 min Unity Ride.

In 2024, five German instructors teamed up for a 45 min Unity Move As One Strength class. Both 2023 and 2024 had dedicated Unity badges.

Earlier this year, Peloton held Reiselust Week in August with 14 German classes, followed by Schlager Week in September, which included a Wolfgang Petry Artist Series and appearances from Vanessa Mai. That was followed by three German-language Oktoberfest classes across cycling, running, and strength towards the end of September.

Will you be taking Peloton’s new German Unity Day walk and earning the 2026 badge?

The post Peloton Releases German Unity Day Class (Eine Einheit Walk) with All Ten German Instructors & New Badge appeared first on Peloton Buddy.

       

The event is free and open to both members and non-members, though registration is required, spots are limited to one per person, and participants must be at least 18 years old.

Peloton describes this event as:

“Join us and Peloton Instructor Selena Samuela as we celebrate World Mental Health Day with a 5K Walk & Run along the West Side Highway! Together with our partners from NAMI, we will move with intention, connect with community, and make space to show up for ourselves.”

The route is a 5K along the West Side Highway, starting and finishing at Peloton Studios New York. Four pace groups will be available:

• Group 1: Sub 10 min mile
• Group 2: 10 – 12 min mile
• Group 3: Walk + Run
• Group 4: Walking

Doors open at 5:00pm ET, with the warm-up beginning at 5:30pm before the group departs immediately afterward. Bag drop and lockers will be available during the run, and showers will be open after the event.

Run Club attendees will also receive a 20% discount at the Peloton Studios New York retail store on the Plaza Level, with some exclusions.

This is the second Peloton Run Club this year built around World Mental Health Day. Jon Hosking will lead the London event on October 7, while World Mental Health Day itself takes place on Saturday, October 10.

Becs Gentry will also lead a free three-mile run in New York on October 10 as part of Project Healthy Minds’ World Mental Health Day Festival. That event is organized by Project Healthy Minds rather than Peloton.

NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, is also one of Peloton’s five social impact partners for 2026. Peloton and lululemon previously supported NAMIWalks events as part of Peloton’s Mental Health Awareness Month programming in May.

Peloton has a collection of mental health-focused classes from the past several years.

This will be Selena’s second time leading the PSNY Run Club this year, after hosting the July 5K walk and run. The October event follows September’s Latin Hispanic Heritage Month Run Club with Camila Ramón and Mariana Fernández.

If you are interested in attending, you can register via the event page.

Peloton announced the new devices last week, along with a set of new Peloton running features. The new models replace the Cross Training Tread and Cross Training Tread+, which are no longer being sold directly by Peloton.

Pricing for Peloton’s new treadmills is (affiliate links):

• Peloton Tread Flex – $2,195 USD / $2,995 CAD
• Peloton Tread Vision – $3,495 USD / $4,395 CAD
• Peloton Tread+ Vision – $6,695 USD / $8,395 CAD

The warranty also varies slightly by model. All three include a 12-month Limited Warranty and a 5-year frame guarantee. The Tread Flex and Tread Vision include a 3-year belt and motor guarantee, while the Tread+ Vision receives a 5-year belt and motor guarantee.

Delivery dates are currently showing October 11 through October 18 for some zipcodes in the United States for all three models, or approximately 10 to 17 days from orders placed today. Exact delivery availability can vary by location.

Availability outside the United States and Canada varies by model. Tread Vision is also available starting today in the United Kingdom, Germany, and Austria, with Australia following on October 2. Tread Flex will expand beyond North America in spring 2027, or autumn 2027 in Australia. Tread+ Vision has only been announced for the United States and Canada.

Our full breakdown of all three treadmills covers the differences between the models and what changed from the Cross Training series.

The $2,195 Tread Flex is Peloton’s first folding treadmill and their lowest-priced Tread to date. It weighs 290 pounds, has a 21.5-inch Full HD swivel screen, reaches a maximum 12.5% incline, and can be moved on wheels after its deck is folded upright. Unlike the two Vision models, it does not include a movement-tracking camera.

The $3,495 Tread Vision adds a 23.8-inch swivel display, upgraded deck cushioning, Sound by Sonos audio, a fan, new speed and incline jump buttons, and the movement-tracking camera used for Peloton’s Run Analysis feature.

The $6,695 Tread+ Vision keeps Peloton’s slat-belt running surface and 15% maximum incline. It also has the movement-tracking camera and adds the new speed and incline buttons, while supporting Sled Mode with up to 300 pounds of resistance.

Members have been able to try the three new models at Peloton Studios New York and select Peloton retail stores in the United States and Canada since September 22.

As we previously shared, Peloton is not offering a trade-in program for existing Tread or Tread+ owners as part of the launch.

Members interested in purchasing one of the new models can now order the Tread Flex, Tread Vision, or Tread+ Vision directly from Peloton.

Peloton Studios New York will be closed for seven days, from Monday, November 2 through Sunday, November 8, 2026.

Peloton Studios London will follow immediately afterward with a five-day closure, from Monday, November 9 through Friday, November 13, 2026.

The closures do not overlap, meaning Peloton should still be able to offer some live programming from London while PSNY is closed, followed by classes from New York during the PSL closure.

However, members should expect a noticeably reduced live schedule during both stretches, particularly while Peloton Studios New York is closed.

This is similar to the dates Peloton closed last November.

In 2025, Peloton Studios New York was closed November 3-9, followed by Peloton Studios London from November 10-16.

The main difference this year is that PSL’s November closure is shorter, running Monday through Friday rather than through the full weekend.

The New York closure begins immediately after the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon, which takes place Sunday, November 1. As with previous years, Peloton will be hosting several marathon related events that weekend.

Peloton Studios New York had no live classes from August 17-19, a short break that followed a full maintenance week earlier in the year. Peloton Studios London then had its own week without live classes from August 24-30. PSNY was also closed for live classes on Labor Day, September 7.

Peloton periodically schedules studio closures throughout the year for maintenance, holidays, and other operational needs – Peloton has said the November closure is for “maintenance.”

Due to the closure, there will be no new NYC classes added to the studio booking site on October 1. The weekend that would normally be released falls inside the November closure.

We will share more details if Peloton announces additional programming changes or studio closures for the remainder of 2026.

The post Peloton Studios New York & London Closing on Back-to-Back Weeks in November 2026 appeared first on Peloton Buddy.

       

The free event includes a roughly 5K run and Walk + Run route, along with a separate 3K walking option, all beginning and ending at Peloton Studios London.

It is open to both Peloton members and non-members, although registration is required and spots are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Peloton describes the event by saying:

“Get ready to run, walk, and celebrate World Mental Health Day! Join Peloton and Instructor Jon Hosking for a community run dedicated to the power of movement, mindfulness, and connection.

Uplifting tunes and supportive energy will set the pace and keep the vibes high throughout the evening. Bring your smiles and community spirit as we bring the feel-good energy to the streets of London! We’ll finish back at the studio with some delicious post-workout treats.”

Four pace groups will be available:

• Group 1 (5K): 25-30 minutes
• Group 2 (5K): 30-35 minutes
• Group 3 (5K): Walk + Run
• Group 4 (3K): Walking

Peloton says runners and walkers of all levels are welcome.

Doors at Peloton Studios London open at 5:00pm BST, with check-in closing at 6:25pm. A group warm-up begins at 6:30pm before runners and walkers depart the studio in waves starting at 6:35pm.

Bag drop and lockers will be available, although the shower facilities will be closed. Participants will return to PSL after the run for post-workout treats.

Attendees will also receive a 20% discount at the Peloton Studios London Store next door at 12 Floral Street. Some exclusions apply.

World Mental Health Day itself takes place three days later on Saturday, October 10.

The October 7 event comes just one week after Jeffrey McEachern leads Peloton Studios London’s Latin & Hispanic Heritage Month Run Club on September 30.

Becs Gentry will also lead a free three-mile group run in New York City on October 10 as part of Project Healthy Minds’ World Mental Health Day Festival. That event is organized by Project Healthy Minds rather than Peloton.

Mental health has also been a recurring focus in Peloton’s class programming.

Peloton released a new set of Mental Health Awareness Month classes in May, with the 2026 theme “Connecting Body and Mind,” and Peloton has a full collection of mental health-focused classes in the on-demand library.

Jon has also previously led a themed PSL Run Club this year, when he hosted a South Asian Heritage Month community run and walk in July.

Anyone interested in attending can register through Peloton’s event page here. Spots are complimentary and limited to one per person.

Peloton is also starting to schedule more live classes to begin at :15 and :45 past the hour.

The majority of live classes have traditionally started on the hour or half hour, such as 7:00am or 7:30am. Quarter-hour start times are not completely new, but they are becoming more common as the latest schedule changes roll out.

Peloton has not announced a specific reason for the increase in :15 and :45 starts. However, moving away from only :00 and :30 gives Peloton more flexibility in how classes of different lengths fit together across the studio schedule.

Peloton typically refreshes instructors’ regular live schedules a few times throughout the year. That can mean an instructor moving to a different day, teaching earlier or later, gaining an additional recurring slot, or having a particular class format move to another part of the week.

Not every instructor or regular class time changes at once, and vacations, substitutions, special programming, and other one-off changes can make it difficult to immediately tell which new slots will become permanent. It generally takes a few weeks for the new recurring schedule patterns to become clear.

One change Peloton has previously announced is a new regular schedule for live Bike Bootcamp classes. Beginning September 29, Bike Bootcamp moved from Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8:00am ET to Tuesdays and Fridays at 6:30am ET.

The frequency remains at two classes per week, but both the time and one of the regular days are changing.

Peloton’s fall 2025 schedule changes moved regular instructor slots and included an expansion of later evening classes, with recurring 8:30pm ET rides added on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

The spring 2025 refresh similarly shifted a number of instructor schedules, gave some coaches additional weekly classes, and brought more evening Row and Row Bootcamp workouts back to the schedule.

Peloton has previously explained that rotating schedules can give instructors different days or times off while also allowing members who can only work out during a particular part of the day to occasionally take live classes with a different group of instructors.

The latest changes appear to follow that same seasonal pattern, with the addition of more quarter-hour start times as another difference.

Members who regularly take the same live classes each week may want to double-check the upcoming schedule rather than assuming their usual instructor will still be in the same slot.

What do you think of the latest Peloton schedule changes and the increase in :15 and :45 class start times?

Two winners will each receive a pair of two-day passes covering the full festival weekend on October 24-25.

The sweepstakes opened September 28 and runs through Sunday, October 11 at 11:59pm ET.

There is one important restriction: entry is limited to legal U.S. residents age 18 or older who currently live in the greater Miami metropolitan area.

Peloton describes the giveaway by saying:

“Ready to sweat? We’re giving two lucky winners a pair of 2-Day passes to the Faces of Fitness festival in Miami! Bring your favorite workout partner for an unforgettable weekend packed with high-energy sessions, unmatched vibe, and live classes led by an all-star instructor line up.”

There are two ways to enter, with a limit of one entry per person regardless of method.

Members can complete the entry form on Peloton’s sweepstakes page, or email their name, address, and email address to globalevents@onepeloton.com.

Peloton expects to select the two potential winners in a random drawing on or around October 12 and notify them by email no later than that day.

Potential winners have five days to respond to the initial notification and return any required documents before the prize can be forfeited and an alternate winner selected.

Each prize includes two two-day passes, valued at $230 per package, covering both October 24 and 25. Each individual two-day pass is valued at $115. Travel, lodging, food, and other costs associated with attending are not included.

Both classes will take place Sunday, October 25, and both are scheduled for approximately 25 minutes:

• Peloton Pilates – Johanna Ricouz – 10/25/26 @ 9:35am ET
• Peloton Bodyweight Strength – Tunde Oyeneyin, Camila Ramón & Rad Lopez ft. DJ Sam Feldt – 10/25/26 @ 11:35am ET

We first shared the Miami instructor lineup in May, when Faces of Fitness announced Johanna, Tunde, Camila, and Rad as Peloton’s featured instructors for the weekend.

At the time, the group Bodyweight Strength class was announced as part of Saturday’s lineup. However, now both workouts will take place on Sunday.

Faces of Fitness previously described the workout as a “fully immersive fitness meets music experience.” They describe the event as “Lollapalooza…but for fitness, health & wellness,” with multiple stages and workout formats taking place throughout the weekend.

The festival will take place at Regatta Park in Coconut Grove at 3500 Pan American Drive in Miami.

This will be the fourth Faces of Fitness festival Peloton has participated in, following Chicago events in 2024, 2025, and 2026.

Peloton also used a similar giveaway for the Chicago festival this summer. That contest gave three Chicago-area winners a pair of two-day passes each, with the same local-resident restriction and a $230 value per prize package.

For members who are not eligible for the Miami sweepstakes or would rather purchase tickets directly, we previously shared a $10 discount available for Faces of Fitness Miami tickets.

Anyone eligible who wants a chance at the free passes can enter through Peloton’s Faces of Fitness Miami sweepstakes page here before October 11 at 11:59pm ET.

Peloton Studios shared the news through Instagram Stories, saying “Ally is coming to PSL for UK BHM.”

The first announced class is:

• 30 min UK BHM: Dance Music Ride – Ally Love – 10/23/26 @ 2:00pm ET

The class will take place live from Peloton Studios London at 7:00pm BST.

In-studio spots for members will open for booking on Thursday, October 1 at 12:00pm ET / 5:00pm BST.

It seems likely the Dance Music Ride will not be Ally’s only class during the trip. Visiting New York instructors who taught from London as part of Peloton’s summer exchange generally led several classes across each weekend, and Peloton has only announced the October 23 Ride so far.

That said, no additional classes have been announced so far yet.

Ally was originally scheduled to teach from London earlier this year as part of Peloton’s summer instructor exchange.

Peloton announced eight New York-based instructors for PSL residencies across July, August, and September, with Ally originally set for September 4-6. Ally’s weekend did not take place as originally scheduled.

At the time of the original announcement when the exchange was first announced, Ally said:

“Our global community is the heartbeat of Peloton, and the energy of being in the room with our Members is unmatched. London, I’ve been waiting for you. Let’s sweat, connect, and show everyone how PSL does it.”

Black History Month is observed in October in the U.K., rather than February as it is in the United States.

Peloton runs separate programming for the two celebrations. Peloton has released special U.K. Black History Month classes every year since 2020.

Last year’s first announced classes included “Black UK Legends” workouts with Joslyn Thompson Rule and Leanne Hainsby-Alldis. In 2024, Peloton organized its U.K. Black History Month programming around four themes: Black Around the World, Black British Radio, Oldies but Goodies, and Afro-ALT Hits. That year also included special cycling, running, walking, and strength classes from the London instructor team.

Peloton has not yet announced the full 2026 U.K. Black History Month lineup.

Google announced the integration last week as part of a larger wave of new Connected Apps rolling out to Gemini.

Peloton was included in the Lifestyle category alongside services including Apartments.com, Experian, and SeatGeek.

Google said:

“Instead of switching between tabs, you can now manage projects, design creative assets, and plan your workouts all in one place.”

For Peloton specifically, Google describes the integration as being able to search for and schedule Peloton classes and create multi-day training plans.

Peloton describes the integration as allowing members to “discover classes and add them to their Peloton schedules.”

That means members can ask Gemini for a particular type of Peloton workout, narrow down the results conversationally, and add selected classes directly to their Peloton schedule without separately searching through the Peloton app.

The Peloton integration appears to be rolling out gradually.

Google said the new Connected Apps began rolling out September 23, but Peloton is not yet appearing in every Gemini account’s Connected Apps settings. Members who do not see Peloton listed yet may simply need to wait for the rollout to reach their account.

Once available, Connected Apps can be enabled through Gemini’s settings.

Google also says users can specifically call an app into a conversation by typing an @ mention and selecting it, or Gemini can use a connected app when a request calls for it.

There are currently several requirements for using the Peloton integration.

Google lists Peloton as available only for personal Google accounts, for users age 18 or older, in the United States, and with Gemini set to English. It is supported in both the Gemini web and mobile apps, and Google lists Peloton as working in both regular Gemini Chat and Gemini Spark.

This is a feature inside Gemini – not a new feature appearing inside the Peloton app. Members who do not use Google’s AI assistant will not see anything change in their normal Peloton usage.

Gemini becomes the third major outside AI assistant to gain a Peloton integration in less than a year.

Peloton’s ChatGPT integration launched in November 2025 after being announced the previous month.

That integration allows members to search for classes, view workout details, create training plans, and add classes to their Peloton schedule.

Earlier this month, Peloton also became a connector in Meta’s Muse AI agent.

Our tests found Muse could search Peloton’s class library, add and remove classes from a member’s schedule, build detailed training plans, and even monitor the Peloton schedule in the background for newly added workouts.

However, Muse could not directly access a member’s Peloton workout history through the connector.

Google’s description hints Gemini will cover many of the same core use cases, including class discovery, scheduling, and multi-day workout planning.

Peloton continues to work with third party partners, as seen with ChatGPT, Meta Muse, and now Google Gemini to bring the Peloton experience to as many AI tools as they can.

Peloton is also developing its own AI planning tools through Peloton IQ, giving members both first-party and third-party ways to build workout plans.

You can read Google’s announcement about the latest Gemini Connected Apps here.

We’ll take a closer look at Peloton inside Gemini once the integration becomes more widely available.

The event, called “MOVE: The Feel-Good 3 Miler with Becs Gentry,” will take place from 9:30am to 10:30am, with doors opening at 9:15am.

It starts from Spring Studios at 50 Varick Street in New York City.

This is not an official Peloton event. It is organized by Project Healthy Minds as part of the festival’s Move programming.

The run is described as:

“Join Peloton instructor Becs Gentry for a 3-mile fun run built for every pace, from first-timers to seasoned runners looking to shake out the nerves before the day gets going. Known for bringing infectious energy and a ‘run happy’ philosophy to everything she coaches, Becs will lead this group through a relaxed, feel-good route with plenty of motivation and community along the way. No PRs required, just good company and better vibes.”

Registration is free.

Project Healthy Minds’ World Mental Health Day Festival takes place throughout the day on October 10, which is World Mental Health Day.

The free festival has six different areas – Connect, Move, Restore, Reflect, Create, and Care – with programming including movement, conversations, mental health, mindfulness, and community.

Becs’ run is one of the fitness events included under the Move portion of the festival.

Becs has led other in-person community runs this year, including Peloton’s April Run Club from Peloton Studios New York.

The World Mental Health Day event gives members another opportunity to run with Becs in New York, although this one is being organized independently by Project Healthy Minds rather than Peloton.

Mental health has also been a recurring programming focus for Peloton, including Mental Health Awareness Month classes earlier this year.

Those interested in attending can register for the free run through Eventbrite here, and find full details on the festival here.

The event will take place Friday, October 9 at Caffè Oliva at Ohio Street Beach, two days before the marathon on Sunday, October 11.

The run is open to both Peloton members and non-members, although advance registration is required and spots are limited.

Peloton describes the event as:

“Come join us for a shakeout run ahead of race day led by Peloton Tread Instructor Kirsten Ferguson. We will meet at Caffè Oliva at Ohio Street Beach, where you can drop off your bags and personal belongings and enjoy complimentary refreshments and light bites after the run.”

The route will cover 5K, beginning and ending at Caffè Oliva, located at 550 E Grand Ave, Chicago, IL 60611.

Peloton says the group will run at a conversational pace, with the session meant as a warm-up ahead of Sunday’s race.

Runners of all levels are welcome. Check-in begins at 4:45pm and the run will start at 5:30pm. The full event is scheduled to end by 7:30pm.

A bag drop will be available at Caffè Oliva, and runners can enjoy complimentary beverages and light snacks after the run.

There are no shower facilities.

Spots for the run are complimentary and limited to one reservation per person.

Runners must RSVP and complete an activity waiver before the run begins. Peloton also notes that the outdoor event could be changed or canceled if adverse weather requires it.

Earlier this year Kirsten launched her three-week “Call Yourself a Runner” program, designed for members who are new to running or returning after an injury.

Peloton is specifically pointing Chicago shakeout participants toward the program on the event registration page as one way to continue preparing for race day.

The Chicago event follows Peloton’s Berlin Marathon shakeout run with Jeffrey McEachern on September 26.

This will also be the second consecutive year Peloton has hosted a Chicago Marathon shakeout at Caffè Oliva.

The 2025 event was led by Matt Wilpers, Marcel Dinkins, and Joslyn Thompson Rule in partnership with Chicago wellness community MoveMENt.

The 48th Bank of America Chicago Marathon takes place Sunday, October 11, with approximately 55,000 runners expected to participate.

Anyone interested in joining the shakeout can register through Peloton’s event page here. Spots are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

This year’s lineup features Jeffrey McEachern, Mayla Wedekind, Erik Jäger, Mila Lazar, and Assal Arian, with all the workouts being two for one classes.

Peloton announced the classes on social media, with the German post roughly translating to:

“The keg is tapped! Celebrate Oktoberfest with unforgettable Two For One classes featuring instructors in traditional Bavarian attire and authentic music, bringing that Bavarian zest for life straight to your home.”

All three classes are taught in German. The classes include:

2026 Peloton Oktoberfest Classes & Schedule

• 30 min Two For One Oktoberfest Walk + Run – Jeffrey McEachern & Mayla Wedekind – 9/18/26 @ 11:00am ET [German]
• 30 min Two For One Oktoberfest Ride – Erik Jäger & Mila Lazar – 9/22/26 @ 12:00pm ET [German]
• 30 min Two For One Oktoberfest Strength – Erik Jäger & Assal Arian – 9/25/26 @ 11:30am ET [German]

Peloton’s 2025 Oktoberfest celebration also included three German-language classes, but all were taught solo: an Oktoberfest Run and Ride with Erik Jäger and an Upper Body Strength class with Assal Arian.

Peloton also offered two solo Oktoberfest classes in 2024, with Erik teaching the Ride and Assal leading Full Body Strength.

Erik has now been part of Peloton’s Oktoberfest programming every year since at least 2023.

The 2026 Oktoberfest in Munich runs from September 19 through October 4, with the official opening and first keg tapping taking place at noon on September 19.

There is currently no 2026 Oktoberfest badge for taking one of this year’s classes. Peloton did award Oktoberfest badges in 2023, 2024, and 2025, so it is still possible one could be retroactively added later.

You can always find our complete list of Peloton badges here.

Peloton has not officially announced the series yet – these are just some of the classes that will have members in studio. The classes currently listed are:

Harry Styles Peloton Classes & Schedule – Artist Series

• 30 min Harry Styles Row – Matt Wilpers – 10/1/26 @ 5:30pm ET [Pre-Record]
• 20 min Harry Styles Pilates – Aditi Shah – 10/29/26 @ 12:15pm ET
• 30 min Harry Styles Run + Walk – Jon Hosking – 10/30/26 @ 5:30pm ET
• 30 min Harry Styles Ride – Leanne Hainsby – 10/30/26 @ 7:00pm ET

Note that Matt’s class is a pre-record, so likely will be released the weekend of October 29/30 with the other classes.

The late-October timing also lines up closely with Harry Styles’ current residency at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Styles is performing 30 shows at Madison Square Garden between August 26 and October 31 as part of his Together, Together tour. The final two shows, on October 30 and 31, are being promoted as “Harryween.”

That means Jon’s Run + Walk and Leanne’s Ride, scheduled for October 30, are the same day as the first Harryween concert at Madison Square Garden.

Peloton has not said whether the Artist Series is specifically connected to Harryween or the New York residency.

This would be Harry Styles’ second dedicated Peloton Artist Series.

His first Peloton Artist Series took place in May 2022, arriving the same day Harry’s House, his 2022 album, was released.

That series included six classes across cycling, running, strength, and yoga, including Two For One workouts with Ally Love and Emma Lovewell on the Bike and Becs Gentry and Jermaine Johnson on the Tread.

This year, Harry Styles also has a new album, called Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.

Peloton is likely to announce more classes the week that the artist series officially takes place. We will share more details as they become available.

Are you looking forward to another Harry Styles Peloton Artist Series?

The deal would be Peloton’s first traditional bond offering.

Bloomberg reports that Goldman Sachs arranged recent meetings where Peloton gauged investor interest in a secured bond that could yield around 8%. The report cites people familiar with the discussions who were not authorized to speak publicly.

No final decision has been made, and Bloomberg notes that the sale may not happen.

Peloton has raised debt through other methods before, including term loans and convertible senior notes. Most recently, Peloton completed a major refinancing in 2024 that included a $1 billion term loan, $350 million of convertible senior notes, and a $100 million revolving credit facility.

That refinancing pushed out debt that otherwise would have come due much sooner.

Peloton still has $980 million outstanding on that term loan as of June 30, 2026. The loan matures May 30, 2029. Peloton reported that the loan had an effective interest rate of 10.2% as of June 30.

If Peloton used a new bond to refinance part of the existing term loan, it could lower what the company pays to borrow, though the two rates are not directly comparable. The roughly 8% figure reported by Bloomberg is an indicated bond yield, while the 10.2% figure is the effective interest rate Peloton reports for its existing term loan.

However, Bloomberg did not report what Peloton would use the proceeds for, so it is not yet clear whether refinancing the term loan would actually be part of the plan for a bond offering.

Peloton also has $350 million of 5.5% convertible senior notes that mature in December 2029.

The company is in a stronger financial position than it was when it last refinanced its debt. Peloton reported its first full fiscal year of GAAP profitability in fiscal 2026 and generated $378 million of free cash flow.

As of June 30, Peloton had $1.299 billion of total debt and $1.207 billion of cash, leaving net debt of approximately $93 million.

That was down about 80% from a year earlier.

Peloton has not announced an offering or filed terms for one, so the $800 million size and roughly 8% yield are what the company has reportedly been testing with investors, rather than a finalized deal.

This report comes the same week Peloton announced three new treadmills and a number of new running features, the company’s second consecutive fall hardware launch. Peloton has also said it plans to launch products in entirely new categories in fall 2027.

You can read the original report from Bloomberg here.

We will continue to share updates as they become available.

The series is part of Peloton’s Latin & Hispanic Heritage Month celebration and includes three 30 minute classes across strength, cycling, and walking.

Peloton announced the series on social media, writing:

“Rock and pop meet the traditional rhythms of Latin America in the @juanes Artist Series, a highlight of Latin & Hispanic Heritage Month. Celebrate in hit-filled classes, including a walk in which Mariana is joined by Juanes himself.”

The full class lineup is:

Peloton Juanes Classes & Schedule & Workouts – Featured Artist Series

• 30 min Juanes Upper Body Strength – Robin Arzón – 9/24/26 @ 5:30pm ET
• 30 min Juanes Ride – Camila Ramón – 9/24/26 @ 7:00pm ET [Spanish]
• 30 min Juanes Walk – Mariana Fernández – 9/24/26 @ 7:00pm ET [Spanish, Premiere]

Juanes will join Mariana in studio for the 30 minute Spanish-language Walk – the class was pre-recorded.

The Juanes appearance continues a recent run of musicians joining Peloton instructors in the studio. Earlier this month, Vanessa Mai joined Jeffrey McEachern and Benny Adami for two Schlager Week classes at Peloton Studios London, while Gunna joined Marcel Dinkins for a special Hip Hop Run at PSNY. John Summit appeared in studio for Jess King’s ride during his artist series last week.

We first shared in August that a Juanes Artist Series was coming September 24, after Robin’s strength class and Camila’s Ride appeared on the Peloton Studios booking site.

Mariana’s Walk and Juanes’ in-class appearance are new additions since that initial schedule was published.

Juanes is a Colombian singer, songwriter, and guitarist whose music combines rock and pop with traditional Colombian and Latin American influences.

He has won 25 Latin Grammy Awards and four Grammy Awards, and is known for songs including “La Camisa Negra,” “A Dios le Pido,” “Fotografía,” and “Es Por Ti.”

His latest album, JuanesTeban, was released earlier this year.

Peloton also encouraged members to check out the Juanes World Tour, which is celebrating 25 years of his solo career.

The Artist Series is one part of Peloton’s larger 2026 Latin & Hispanic Heritage Month celebration.

Peloton previously announced 15 themed classes running from September 17 through October 14 across cycling, running, walking, strength, yoga, Pilates, and barre, with themes including Rock en Español, Latin Pop, Reggaeton, Salsa, Bossa Nova, and Íconos Latinos.

Members are sure to earn an artist series badge for taking any of Peloton’s Juanes classes. You can always find a full list of Peloton badges on our site, along with a running list of every Peloton artist series.
