NEW YORK – October 20, 2021  – Peloton, the world’s leading interactive fitness platform and Beyoncé, the most-nominated female artist in GRAMMY® history, have announced the newest installment of the Peloton x Beyoncé Artist Series, Peloton’s most extensive Artist Series to-date. The Peloton x Beyoncé Artist Series offers 17 classes with 72 hours of content streamed globally from Peloton Studios New York and the new Peloton Studios London.

To complement the live programming, daily on-demand classes will allow members to curate a well-rounded Peloton x Beyoncé experience at their own pace and convenience across nine modalities including Cycling, Tread, Tread Bootcamp and off-equipment offerings such as Strength, Barre, Stretching, and an Outdoor Run and Walk — making the series accessible for anyone with no hardware necessary. This powerful lineup will include classes in three languages, English, German and Spanish, a first for Peloton. The global event kicks off with a Two-for-One Ride live from the new Peloton Studios London. Every Peloton x Beyoncé Artist Series class can be accessed on the Peloton App which new Members can try for a free 30-day trial period

Additionally, Beyoncé and Peloton will expand their social impact partnership by providing the fitness facilities of 10 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) with Peloton Bikes this fall. This initiative builds on Peloton and Beyoncé’s shared commitment to provide access to best-in-class fitness, inspiring this generation of HBCU students to source their power, physically and mentally, through movement. Thousands of students redeemed gifted Peloton digital memberships at the onset of the partnership, ensuring students can enjoy Peloton’s library of content on-and off-equipment.  Partner schools include: Grambling State University, Bennett College, Clark Atlanta University, Hampton University, Howard University, Morehouse College, Morehouse School of Medicine, Spelman College, Texas Southern University and Wilberforce University. Peloton will continue to pursue long-term recruiting partnerships across the internship, undergraduate and graduate levels while also shining a light on HBCU students.

“The Beyoncé Artist Series allows you to mentally draw deeply from internal and external places of power and this is the soundtrack that will transport you,” said Peloton’s Head of Music Gwen Bethel Riley. “We are honored to have designed a new series of classes that elevate movement and music on the Peloton platform. This empowering message will motivate our community to show up for each other and for themselves.”
