Peloton has become one of the world’s top fitness platforms and has now joined forces with a global icon. On Tuesday, Peloton and Beyonce announced a multi-year partnership. The Grammy Award-winning singer is working with Peloton to create a series of themed workouts experiences to help extend Homecoming to Peloton members via classes across multiple fitness categories, including indoor cycling, running, strength, bootcamp, yoga and meditation. Beyonce is the most requested artist by Pelonton’s global community, and the partnership commemorates Homecoming season, an annual fall celebration for students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) that honors tradition and legacy.
“Peloton and I both believe that the power of music can help uplift, motivate and inspire those on their fitness journeys,” Beyonce said in a statement. “I’ve been a Peloton member for several years, and I’m excited to partner with a company that helps people, young and old, be the best versions of themselves, in an innovative and adaptable way. I’m proud to celebrate the students at HBCUs with this donation, to encourage them to find and embrace their own wellness regimens.”
