EXPERIENCE FOR ALL SKILL LEVELS

If you’re new to Peloton or just looking to switch up your workout routine, there’s an instructor to suit your skill level. Getting started can feel overwhelming, but Peloton’s experts are here to put you at ease for optimized performance. Even if you’re an accomplished athlete, beginner classes can help you get acclimated to your Peloton Bike or Peloton Tread and to familiarize yourself with each instructor and class type. As you ramp up the resistance and duration, your favorite instructors will be there every step of the way as you chase that next personal record (PR).

GET IN THE RIGHT MINDSET

Whether you’re just starting your morning or looking to sweat after a long day, getting in the right frame of mind can be easier said than done, especially when those pesky excuses start to creep in while trying to balance your life agenda. “I’m too tired.” “There’s not enough time.”

That’s where Peloton’s instructors come in with a positive voice to help quiet the negative ones. Their uplifting approach will help boost your energy levels, push you through each workout and stay focused on your goals. Find the instructor whose message resonates most with you and you won’t want to miss a single workout.

SET THE TONE

Peloton trainers don’t just set the tone for your workout – they often help set the tone of your day. Sometimes all it takes is a calm and encouraging voice to put your mind at ease to focus on your fitness goals. Other times, you may need that extra push to power through your workout. Either way, you’ll be left feeling inspired and with a renewed self-confidence to take on any challenges that come your way. Either way, there’s an instructor and a class to fit your mood.

PROGRESS AT YOUR OWN PACE

Everyone moves at their own pace, and that’s especially true when it comes to each individual’s fitness journey. While Peloton’s instructors will set recommendations for resistance and cadence throughout each workout, they also stress the importance of going at your own pace and, most importantly, having fun. Take your time getting accustomed to your new Peloton equipment and work your way up to more challenging levels. Each class will lead to increased confidence and progress. 

PURE ENERGY

If there’s one thing Peloton’s top-notch instructors know how to do, it’s bring the energy. Classes often feel more like a party than a workout due to the positive vibes and fun playlists. It’s like having a good time with friends while working up a sweat. If you’ve had a long day and are feeling a little low on energy, Peloton’s instructors will get you pumped physically and mentally.

MATCH YOUR MOOD

No matter your mood, there’s an instructor to set your emotion in motion. If you’re feeling happy, keep the good times going with feel-good classes to energize your workout. Peloton’s elite instructors can provide an instant mood boost to brighten your day. And let’s face it: some days can be more challenging than others. If you’re feeling frustrated, Peloton’s instructors also know how to help you blow off steam with a positive spin. Feeling salty? There are even classes for that.

MOVE TO THE MUSIC

For many, the right song (and instructor) can be a major motivator, and Peloton boasts an impressive library of hits from the biggest names in music. Need to get pumped for your run or ride? Turn the volume up on your favorite tunes to classic rock, pop, hip-hop, country and more. Or maybe you prefer something a little slower for a low-impact ride or cool down. Well, put on your proverbial captain’s hat and enjoy the smooth sounds of yacht rock. Peloton also offers holiday-themed classes from Christmas, Hanukkah to Halloween, so you can get festive with your favorite instructor.
