First up, a new 20 minute Kettlebell Strength with Jess Sims was supposed to be released on demand on Monday, April 20 at 12 AM ET (5 AM BST).

However, at time of publishing, that class has not actually been made available. It remains to be seen when it will be added.

As a reminder, you can find all of Peloton’s Kettlebell classes in the Kettlebell class collection. These include the strength and cardio classes.

Peloton is also running a 30 day kettlebell challenge during the month of April.

On Thursday, April 23, Alex Karwoski has a live 45 minute Walk + Run featuring pace targets at 3:30 PM ET (8:30 PM BST).

Later this week, Hannah Frankson has a live 60 minute Power Zone Endurance Ride on Saturday, April 25 at 7 AM ET (12 PM BST).

That same day, Denis Morton has a live 60 minute Intermediate Yoga Flow at 2 PM ET (7 PM BST).

Peloton also shared the week 2 schedule for its Spring Cross Training program.

The class schedule looks to be the same format as week 1. All of Peloton’s Spring Cross Training classes can be found in its class collection.

Check out the full “This Week at Peloton” post for April 20 through April 26 from @PelotonStudios on Instagram.

Which Peloton classes are you going to take this week?

The post 60 Minute Yoga Flow, 60 Minute Power Zone Ride, 45 Minute Walk + Run, and Kettlebell Strength for This Week at Peloton (April 20-April 26, 2026) appeared first on Peloton Buddy.

       

The official description for the new collection reads:

“Build your aerobic engine in classes focused on maintaining Zone 2 heart rate. Strengthen your endurance while you train at a conversational pace with easy breathing, so you can go farther, feel stronger, and recover better.”

The collection pulls together existing classes that fit the Zone 2 profile rather than introducing a new class type. The Bike classes are Power Zone Endurance and Power Zone Recovery rides, the Tread/Outdoor category includes Endurance Runs and some themed walks, and the Row classes are Endurance Rows.

For those unfamiliar, heart rate zone training divides effort into five zones based on a percentage of your maximum heart rate. Zone 1 is very light activity, Zone 5 is all-out effort, and Zone 2 sits in the low-to-moderate range, roughly 60–70% of your maximum heart rate. A simple way to tell if you’re roughly in Zone 2 is the “talk test”: you should be able to hold a full conversation without gasping for air.

This is different from Peloton’s Power Zone training, which many members are already familiar with. Power Zone classes use seven zones based on your FTP (Functional Threshold Power), which is a measure of your output on the Bike, not your heart rate. While there’s some overlap in concept – Power Zone Endurance rides, for example, keep you in lower power zones that often correspond to a Zone 2 heart rate – the two systems are measuring different things.

Zone 2 training has become a hot topic in longevity circles in recent years. At this intensity, the body primarily burns fat for fuel and builds mitochondrial function, which improves endurance, recovery, and metabolic health over time. Research into elite endurance athletes has found that many of them typically spend 60–80% of their total training time at this intensity, with a widely cited “80/20” model suggesting that roughly 80% of training should be at low intensity and 20% at high intensity. For most people, 3–4 Zone 2 sessions per week of 45–60 minutes is recommended.

Interestingly, Peloton actually used to offer dedicated heart rate zone classes on the platform, but discontinued them back in 2020. At the time, the change was shared in a letter by Christine D’Ercole, who transitioned to teaching Power Zone classes shortly after. The return to heart rate zone-focused content – even if just through a curated collection rather than a dedicated class type – suggests Peloton is trying to capitalize on the growing demand for this style of training.

This collection fits into Peloton’s broader push to position itself as a “connected wellness” company rather than purely a connected fitness company. CEO Peter Stern has spoken repeatedly about helping members build more well-rounded fitness habits, including incorporating strength training at least twice a week and focusing on overall health outcomes, and improving the healthspan of Peloton members.

You can find the collection on Peloton here.

The John Hancock building sits right near the marathon’s finish line on Boylston Street, making it a visible spots along the final stretch of the 26.2 mile course.

Peloton had put out a call on social media a few weeks ago, asking members who were running the Boston Marathon to submit their leaderboard names. Those names have now been printed on one side of the John Hancock building, while the other side displays the message: “Months of hard work for the ultimate 26.2 mile victory lap.”

In a video shared on social media announcing the installation, Peloton said: “Got a date with Heartbreak Hill? Come find your leaderboard name at the John Hancock building. Good luck to all runners!”

Peloton members running Boston tomorrow will have the chance to spot their own leaderboard name up on the building on their way to the finish line, or stop by before the race to snap a photo.

Becs Gentry shared a picture of herself next to the billboard as well.

Beyond the billboard, Peloton did not appear to have scheduled any official activations for Boston Marathon weekend this year – no shakeout runs, meetups, or in-person events with instructors were announced.

This billboard comes as Peloton is set to launch their new 18-week marathon training program on April 24th, just days after Boston. The program is positioned to help members prepare for fall marathons like New York and Chicago, replacing the Road to 26.2 program that has been on the platform for years.

For anyone running the Boston Marathon, be sure to look for your leaderboard name on the building if you submitted it.

The festival shared the news in a video on Facebook announcing Peloton among its sponsors.

While a full schedule of Peloton sessions hasn’t been announced yet, the festival’s website lists instructor Jermaine Johnson as one of the featured presenters, suggesting he’ll be leading at least one class or talk at the event.

Wellnergy describes itself as London’s leading wellness festival, bringing together fitness, mental wellbeing, nutrition, music, and community across six wellness zones. The festival features a mix of workout classes, talks, workshops, recovery experiences, and live music. Gates open at 9:30am on both days.

Early bird day tickets are £39 plus fees, with weekend passes available for £69. Tickets can be purchased at wellnergy.com.

This is now the fifth UK festival or event partnership Peloton has announced for this spring and summer. Peloton is also participating in the Big Retreat Festival in Wales (May 22–24), the Longevity Show in London (June 26–27), and the Wilderness Festival in Oxfordshire (July 30 – August 2), along with race partnerships at the London Marathon and the HOKA Hackney Half Marathon.

Stern, who stepped into the Peloton CEO role in early 2025, actively pursued the opportunity, reaching out to recruiters himself before ultimately becoming Peloton’s third chief executive. Despite the challenges surrounding the role, Stern described the position enthusiastically, saying, “This is actually my dream job.”

The feature highlights Peloton’s dramatic shift since their pandemic-era highs. Once valued at nearly $50 billion, the company’s market cap has since dropped significantly to around $2 billion. Growth in subscriptions has slowed, and hardware sales have declined compared to peak demand during lockdowns.

Stern acknowledged the road has not been smooth. Peloton has undergone layoffs – including a recent reduction affecting about 11% of their workforce – and lowered their sales outlook in their latest earnings report. The company has also faced increased subscriber churn following pricing changes, along with executive turnover.

Still, Stern emphasized that Peloton’s core business remains strong, pointing to member satisfaction and retention as key indicators. He pushed back on the idea that Peloton is no longer relevant, noting that subscriber levels remain close to pandemic highs and have grown compared to pre-2020 levels.

A major part of Stern’s strategy is expanding how Peloton is perceived. While the brand built its reputation on cardio-focused workouts, the company has increasingly leaned into strength training, yoga, and broader fitness offerings.

Stern explained the thinking behind this shift, stating:

“The optimal exercise regimen is not just cardio — it should also include strength.
It’s our responsibility to make sure that we can deliver that complete diet on the exercise front to our members. In our last quarter, we had two million members doing strength workouts. Not only do a very large fraction of our members engage in strength training in addition to cardio, but those who do stay with us 40 percent longer.”

This is part of his push to redefine Peloton as a “connected wellness” company rather than a “connected fitness” company.

Stern also points to the fact that Peloton has also introduced new technology initiatives, including AI-powered workout recommendations, and updated their hardware lineup. In addition, the company is beginning to expand beyond the home by developing Peloton-branded equipment for gyms – a notable shift from their earlier, home-first focus. This includes the recently announced “Peloton Commercial” line of products.

Stern addressed Peloton’s valuation directly, calling both the pandemic-era peak and current valuation unrealistic. While the earlier figure was inflated, he believes the current valuation undervalues the company’s progress. He stated:

“That was an unrealistic valuation for the company at that time. I would argue that the valuation we have now is also unrealistic.
We’re seeing vastly improved trajectory on revenue. We are now consistently delivering profitability. We maintain incredibly high member satisfaction. All of those things mean we’re right where we should be, and the valuation will come.”

He also framed Peloton’s recovery as a gradual process, explaining that turnarounds do not happen overnight. After experiencing revenue declines of over 20% in 2023, the company has made progress toward stabilizing performance, with expectations of approaching “flat” growth in the near term.

In regards to the recent layoffs, Stern described them as part of a broader effort to streamline operations and reinvest in areas that differentiate Peloton – including their products, software, instructors, and community. Stern explained that improving efficiency in non-core areas allows the company to double down on what makes it unique, saying the goal is to allocate resources toward the aspects of the business that drive value for members.

While challenges remain, Stern’s message throughout the interview is one of cautious optimism. He believes Peloton’s brand loyalty, high engagement, and evolving product mix position them well for long-term success.

The full feature in The New York Times provides additional detail on Stern’s background, leadership style, and personal connection to fitness – including his early exposure through his mother, who taught aerobics classes; his sleep schedule; and his favorite type of Peloton workout (Tread bootcamps).

The series is called Gute Nacht Yoga – or Good Night Yoga – and the official description reads:

Gentle bedtime yoga to relax body and mind: A combination of slow flow, yin yoga and meditation. Calm stretches, conscious breathing, and mindful movements help you release stress and get a deep, restful sleep.

The first class was released straight to the on-demand library on April 14 at 12:00am ET, and is 30 minutes in length. The class is instructed in German, but subtitles are available as well.

Peloton has also promoted the new series via Instagram, writing:

Ready, set, rest🌙
Wind down with @nicosarani’s first signature series, Gute Nacht Yoga, where gentle movement meets restorative meditation to help you reset before bed. In German.

The post includes a video of Nico explaining the rationale behind the series, showing the phone doom-scrolling trap one can easily fall into, with the goal of replacing draining activities like this with restorative movement and meditation.

It is currently unclear how frequently the class will be released, but members can expect this to be a regular signature series from Nico moving forward.

Members can check out Nico’s first Gute Nacht Yoga (or “Good Night Yoga”) class via their hardware device, digital app, or web browser.

Will you be trying this out at the end of the day?

A new banner has now appeared on Peloton’s Special Pricing page (affiliate link) advertising: “Limited time: select audiences may be eligible for a senior discount.*”

The disclaimer associated with the banner simply reads:

“*Offer subject to eligibility requirements. Available to select users only and may not be available to all. Terms apply.”

Unfortunately, the page itself does not spell out what those eligibility requirements are, or who the “select users” are who qualify. Anyone interested will likely need to reach out to Peloton customer support directly to confirm whether they qualify.

A recent email sent to potential Peloton members also advertised the senior discount, saying “And for a limited time, select audiences may be eligible for a senior discount.”

As we reported in our original coverage, Peloton had been testing senior discounts with a dedicated page shown selectively to certain visitors. This latest banner appears to be a wider rollout of that same program – though still gated behind unspecified eligibility requirements rather than fully public.

Based on what we saw during the initial test, the senior discount follows the same structure as Peloton’s other special pricing programs for military members, first responders, healthcare workers, educators, students, and more recently government and hospital administrative workers.

The hardware discounts we saw offered to seniors were:

• Cross Training Bike: $250 off, bringing the price to $1,445 (regularly $1,695)
• Cross Training Bike+: $500 off, bringing the price to $2,195 (regularly $2,695)
• Refurbished Original Bike: $150 off, bringing the price to $995 (regularly $1,145)
• Refurbished Original Bike+: $350 off, bringing the price to $1,645 (regularly $1,995)
• Cross Training Tread: $300 off, bringing the price to $2,995 (regularly $3,295)
• Cross Training Tread+: $600 off, bringing the price to $6,095 (regularly $6,695)
• Cross Training Row+: $300 off, bringing the price to $3,195 (regularly $3,495)

As with all of Peloton’s other special pricing programs, the All-Access Membership required for Peloton hardware is not discounted and would still be purchased separately. No group currently gets a discount on the All-Access Membership.

Seniors are also eligible for discounted pricing on Peloton App memberships:

• App One (Monthly): $9.99 per month (normally $12.99)
• App+ (Monthly): $19.99 per month (normally $28.99)
• App One (Annual): $99 per year (normally $129)
• App+ (Annual): $199 per year (normally $289)

During the initial test, eligibility was based on being age 65 or older and verifiable through Peloton’s verification partner (the same system used for all other special pricing groups). It’s unclear whether those same criteria apply to this broader rollout, or if the “select audiences” language points to additional restrictions beyond age.

Peloton has increasingly leaned on targeted promotions and expanded eligibility groups as a way to reach new members, particularly as overall subscriber numbers have declined in recent quarters.

If you think you might qualify, you can check the Special Pricing page directly or reach out to Peloton customer support for more details on eligibility.

This started with two new classes being released on March 30th. It was followed by a new class being released this week as well (which has temporarily been removed as it was causing issues for people who tried to take it on a Tread).

While all previous extra step classes were traditional classes taught on the Tread, the new classes are outdoor audio classes (which can be taken on a Peloton Tread as well thanks to an update made in 2024).

The new Peloton extra steps walking classes are:

• 10 min Extra Steps Walk: ~1,000 Steps – Joslyn Thompson Rule – 3/30/26 @ 12:00am ET
• 15 min Extra Steps Walk: ~1,500 Steps- Marcel Dinkins – 3/30/26 @ 12:00am ET
• Extra Steps Walk: Kirsten Ferguson – 4/15/26 @ 12:00am ET

Extra Steps classes were first launched about a year ago and are designed to help members hit their daily step goals with short, approachable walking classes. Each class title includes an approximate step count so you know what you’re getting before you start, making it easy to pick the right length based on how many steps you still need for the day.

The format is BPM-driven, meaning the playlist tempo is set to guide your walking pace and help you hit the target step count within the class length. When the class type first launched, Peloton described them as “fun, BPM-driven sessions that’ll have you moving to the beat while you work toward your fitness goals.”

Classes in the collection range from 10 to 20 minutes, with step targets from roughly 1,000 to 2,500 steps. They’re now available as outdoor or treadmill walks, and are taught by a mix of instructors including Rebecca Kennedy, Kirsten Ferguson, Joslyn Thompson Rule, Marcel Dinkins, and others.

All the classes can be found in the Peloton Extra Steps collection here.

Peloton shared the news via social media writing:

Join our very own Jess Sims for a class, meet & greet, and more during Teacher Appreciation Week. Apply for a chance to join.

The tour will consist of four different stops across the US in early May. The dates & location for Jess Sims’ Teacher Appreciation Tour are:

• Seattle, Washington – May 4
• Houston, Texas – May 6
• Detroit, Michigan – May 7
• New York, New York – May 9

Each stop on the tour will follow the same general format. However, there are a variety of components in each city, including:

• 30 minute full body strength class instructed by Jess
• Moderated discussion session with Q&A portion
• Networking opportunities
• Gift bags and swag
• Photo moments

All attendees will be teachers, and must nominate themselves or other educators in order to have a chance to access to the tour. This is not an event you can just register for or pay for a spot – Peloton is accepting nominations, and will select a handful of people to get invites to the events.

Jess also recorded a video that was posted to the @PelotonStudios Instagram Story, during which she provides more context for the initiative. Teacher Appreciation Week takes place from May 4 through May 8, and New York City will be the finale of Peloton’s Teacher Appreciation Tour.

Members can also nominate the educators in their lives, including themselves, for a trip to New York City for the final stop. One lucky winner will be celebrated at the final stop of the tour, and will receive a travel and lodging stipend, along with a spot in Jess’ class. Visit the sweepstakes page to enter and for more information.

All nominations for the tour spots must be submitted by April 24, while the sweepstakes runs through April 26th.

When Peloton released their April artist series lineup for member bookings, two series were on the schedule: Justin Bieber and Backstreet Boys.

However, in the past few days, all of the Backstreet Boys classes that were originally scheduled for April 23rd have been renamed back to standard, non-artist series classes. The series no longer appears on the either the regular Peloton class schedule (which shows classes in the next two weeks) or the studio booking website.

Members who had booked in-person studio spots for what were originally Backstreet Boys classes have received emails notifying them of the change – which shared that the classes had been changed from “Backstreet Boys” classes to more generic themed classes.

Peloton has not shared a reason for why the series was pulled. It’s unclear whether this is a temporary postponement or a permanent cancellation, or whether licensing, scheduling, or other factors played a role. It’s rare for an artist series to be made available for studio bookings, only to have to removed from the schedule before it takes place.

Peloton previously held a Backstreet Boys artist series back in 2024 – and those classes are still available in the on-demand library.

The Justin Bieber artist series took place earlier this month as originally planned.

We’ll provide an update if provides any additional information or reschedules the Backstreet Boys classes for a later date.

Instructors Susie Chan and Camila Ramón have both recently teased that Peloton’s upcoming marathon program includes runs longer than two hours.

In case you missed it, we recently shared that Peloton revealed an 18-week marathon training program will be released on April 24, 2026.

As part of this program, it appears that Peloton will include longer running classes – including ones that are at least 2.5 hours (or 150 minutes) long.

In a recent run, Camila Ramon was describing a chat session she had with fellow instructor Mariana Fernández. Camila reflected:

“Let’s just say that if you make it to week 14 of the marathon program, you’re going to get into some secrets…that her and I reveal during her 150 minute run.”

It is unclear whether Camila was a guest instructor alongside Mariana or involved in the class in some way; regardless, Camila confirms with this statement that members can expect a 2.5 hour run on the Peloton platform in the upcoming marathon training program.

Meanwhile, Susie Chan also recently posted an Instagram Story showing her recording a run that was at least 135 minutes in length. The text overlay states: “Coming 24th of April / ARE YOU READY TO LACE UP FOR YOUR LONG RUNS?”

This indicates that Susie will teach at least one class longer than two hours in the upcoming Peloton marathon training program.

These developments follow Becs Gentry indicating last year that longer runs were in the works for 2026.

There are currently only four regular 2 hour running classes in the Peloton on-demand library – three on the Tread, and one audio-only. There are also a few more classes hidden within other Peloton training programs, like the half marathon training program that features a 2 hour two for one class with Matt Wilpers & Susie Chan. Peloton also has a 2.5 hour NYC marathon scenic class.

The inclusion of longer runs would be a stark difference from Peloton’s “Road to 26.2” program – Peloton’s first marathon training program released years ago. In that program, members were left to run their long runs on their own – Peloton only provided a 10 minute warm up class for the long run, but not multi-hour runs for members.

We will share the full details surrounding Peloton’s newest marathon training program when it launches later this month.

In advance of the official release of the magazine, Sports Illustrated shared a first look at Tunde’s photo shoot.

Tunde and Sports Illustrated both shared the photo today on social media.

Sports Illustrated has also shared a behind-the-scenes video on Instagram of the photo shoot in Montauk, New York, featuring Tunde and the seven other women who will be in the 2026 SI Swimsuit Issue.

The creative team on the shoot was Photographer: @wattsupphoto , Editor in Chief: @mj_day, Makeup: @jodieboland, Hair: @adammaclay, Fashion Editor: @margotzamet, Fashion Assistant: @lizwentworth , PR: @sevaneveritt , Production: @cindiblairproductions @j___sanchez , Digital Editor: @maramilam, Location/Accommodations: @herobeachclub, and Swimsuit: @toxicsadie.

The 2026 SI Swimsuit Issue is expected to be available in May 2026.

The 2025 Swim Search contest featured a runway show, voting open to the public, as well as input from the SI editorial staff.

Several fellow instructors surprised Tunde at the end of a live class last year – a 30 min. Rolling Hills Ride from 8/10/25 @ 12:00pm ET – with the announcement that she had won the contest.

These commercials fall under Peloton’s “Let Yourself Go” push, and showcase Williams working out on the Peloton Tread+.

In a press release announcing the campaign, Peloton said:

By weaving a diverse range of exercises into a single narrative, the film showcases the true scale of Peloton’s 15+ modalities—positioning the Tread+ not just as a piece of cardio equipment, but as a gateway to a complete cross-training suite.

You can see the new commercial here, or embedded below.

The video is captioned “It’s that moment when everything clicks and movement sets you free. This is what Peloton feels like”, and also featured Tunde Oeyneyin alongside Williams.

Peloton will be airing this commercial, as well as other 15 second and 30 second versions, on a variety of platforms.

This comes as Peloton CEO Peter Stern pushes Peloton to become a “connected wellness” company rather than a “connected fitness” company.

This follows Peloton’s tease about Hudson Williams earlier this week.

Unfortunately for Peloton members who were hoping this tease would mean “Heated Rivalry” Peloton classes – the campaign makes no mention of those coming to the platform at this point, so the wait will continue for those.

First up this week, a new 10 minute Daily Meditation that focuses on breathing dropped on demand from Anna Greenberg on Monday, April 13 at 12 AM ET. You can access this audio-only meditation here.

Daily Meditations typically drop once a week and are intended to build your meditation and mindfulness practice by repeating the same class each day of the week.

On Tuesday, April 14 at 12 AM ET (5 AM BST), a new Power 60 Full Body Strength with Logan Aldridge drops on demand. Logan’s signature strength series can be found easily in its own class collection.

Logan’s Power 60 strength classes are part of Peloton’s collaboration with HYROX.

On Thursday, April 16, join Adrian Williams on the leaderboard for a 30 minute Live DJ Run at 5:30 PM ET with Peloton’s DJ John Michael.

This will be the first live DJ class of the year.

Finally, Jenn Sherman has a live 45 minute My Mixtape Ride on Sunday, April 19 at 10 AM ET (3 PM BST).

Check out the full “This Week at Peloton” post for April 13 through April 19 from @PelotonStudios on Instagram.

The company posted a teaser to Instagram & social media with the caption “Things are about to get heated.”

Update – The tease was for new Peloton commercials featuring Heated Rivalry star Hudson Williams.

This clips features Hudson Williams, who plays Shane Hollander in the show. In their Instagram story, Peloton indicated the content would be dropping tomorrow.

You can see the teaser here:

Peloton instructors have been engaging with the post on social media, with Matty Maggiacomo saying “It couldn’t be? Or could it? 🤔”

The teaser was vague – indicating it could be classes that are being teased, or an advertising campaign featuring Hudson Williams playing off of the “Heated Rivalry” fame.

Heated Rivalry is a Canadian hockey romance series based on Rachel Reid’s Game Changers novel series. The show premiered on Crave in 2025 and became a global phenomenon, airing on HBO Max in the US and Sky in the UK.

It stars Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie as rival hockey players in a secret relationship. The show has been renewed for a second season, which is expected to begin filming this summer.

Peloton members have been asking for Heated Rivarly classes for months, and they could be getting to get their wish soon.

This post was updated to clarify the tease could be about either an advertising campaign or themed classes.

The race is set to take place on April 26 and Peloton is planning a multi-day lineup designed to support runners from final preparations all the way through post-race recovery.

A new webpage is available with the full schedule and more details. According to the site:

The trainings almost done, the miles are in, the road to London race weekend is coming to an end. To ensure you reach it feeling your strongest, Peloton is showing up for a high-energy weekend dedicated to your race-day. Whether you’re chasing a PB, soaking in the atmosphere of your first marathon or cheering on your loved ones, we’re here to make sure your London experience is unforgettable.

The festivities kick off on Thursday, April 23 with a fireside chat from 6:00-7:30pm at Peloton Studios London (PSL) titled: Beyond The Pavement. Featuring instructors Matt Wilpers, Joslyn Thompson Rule, and Hannah Frankson, the session will focus on building strength and resilience as a runner. Attendees can expect insights on cross-training, recovery, and long-term performance, along with a live Q&A. The event is free to attend but advance registration is required.

On Friday, April 24, Peloton will host a 5K shakeout run from 6:00-8:00pm in partnership with Asian Girls Run. Led by Matt Wilpers, the event will include multiple pace groups to accommodate runners of all levels. The run will begin at PSL, with post-run refreshments and recovery opportunities – provided by Hyperice – available afterward. This event is also free to attend but those interested must sign up in advance and sign an activity waiver.

Race day itself – Sunday, April 26 – will feature a dedicated cheer zone experience. The morning begins at PSL with complimentary coffee and sign-making before supporters head out to Mile 25 along the course. There, Peloton promises a high-energy environment complete with music, confetti, and appearances from instructors to help motivate runners in the final stretch. No registration is required for this portion of the weekend.

Following the race, Peloton will continue the celebration with post-race activations on Monday, April 27 and Tuesday, April 28. At PSL, runners can take advantage of complimentary medal engraving, photo opportunities, and chances to win prizes. Additional perks include a 26.2% discount on select Peloton apparel and customized tote bags with qualifying purchases.

Peloton is also offering practical support for race participants, including a bag drop service at PSL and access to locker rooms with showers and amenities after the race. Note that these services require advance reservations due to limited availability.

Peloton has historically held events and activations surrounding the London Marathon; most recently in 2025.

As we shared last month, Peloton began teasing a new social media initiative featuring instructors; however, at the time it was unclear whether the format of the teaser was an indication of the exact premise of “Off Air,” or just an example of the type of content the series might cover.

The first two episodes suggest the former. The teaser explains that instructors will be assigned to a specific Peloton department and will “shadow” a team with the hopes of gaining a better grasp on the business as a whole.

The first episode features Cody Rigsby shadowing the Human Resources department. Peloton shared the episode via Instagram, writing:

​​Cody goes corporate 😏. OFF AIR Episode 1 : “Hi Boo! Meet HR”

In the video, Cody leads Peloton’s New Hire Orientation, which includes fellow instructor Greta Dopp. Chaos quickly ensues.

The second episode features Kirsten Ferguson shadowing the security team. Peloton shared the episode via Instagram, writing:

Nothing gets past Kirsten👀. OFF AIR Episode 2: “Eyes Everywhere”

Kristen takes this role extremely seriously and again, chaos quickly ensues.

Now that the first two episodes of “Off Air” have dropped, it is clear that the content will cover instructors exploring different departments in the format of short, highly-produced highlight reels.

This approach stands in stark contrast to Peloton’s other recent content release, “At The Next Table.” That series has taken a much more in-depth route, with episodes running 50 minutes or longer and diving into deeper, more personal conversations – like the first episode centered around themes of sisterhood.

The exact cadence of “Off Air” is unclear, but Peloton has already released two episodes in a matter of three weeks.

Are you enjoying the series so far, and which instructor(s) do you hope to see featured next?

Peloton is partnering with Elemis for a morning of Pilates and wellness at PSL on Sunday, April 12. Each session includes a 30-minute encore-streamed Pilates class played in the studio foyer, followed by a 10-minute wellness ritual hosted by an Elemis expert.

The ritual includes breathing exercises, lymphatic drainage demos, and self-massage using their Body Cleansing Balm.

There are four sessions running hourly from 10:00am to 1:00pm, so attendees can choose the time that works best for them. Members who are interested in these can sign up through the studio booking website.

On Sunday, April 19 at 9:30am, PSL is hosting a community taper run in partnership with Black Girls Do Run. This one is led by community leads from Black Girls Do Run rather than a Peloton instructor.

The route is approximately 8K, starting and ending at the studio. Doors open at 9:00am with check-in closing at 9:25am. The focus is on steady effort and community vibes – exploring the local area as a group rather than racing the clock.

You can see details & RSVP here.

Both events are free and open to members and non-members. PSL’s locker rooms, showers, and changing facilities will be available, and run club attendees will receive 20% off at the Peloton Studios London store next door.

Peloton previously had their April in-person run club on April 8th.

Peloton will also be hosting a longevity event with Sam Yo on April 19th – the same day as the Black Girls Do Run event.
