Peloton instructor Irene Kaymer is leaving the company.
Irene, one of the German Peloton instructors, announced this morning that she is leaving the company to focus on her family, and start a new chapter.
Irene had been one of the first German Peloton instructors to join the company (originally with the name Irene Scholz). However, she left the company in May 2021. After a few years away, she announced she was rejoining in the company in late 2023 – and has periodically been teaching new classes over last year year.
Irene shared what a wonderful past year it’s been, but that leaving is the right decision for her and her family. Since she first joined the company, she has gotten married, and had her first child.
She specifically notes that her classes and programs will remain up on-demand, but shared how amazing it has been reconnecting with her colleagues at Peloton as well as the members.
Irene is the first instructor to depart since summer of 2024. Then, we saw Ross Rayburn, Kristin McGee, and Kendall Toole all leave Peloton during contract negotiations, followed by the departure of German instructor Tobias Heinze for other reasons.
You can see the full message from Irene below:
“Wow, what an incredible year it’s been at Peloton —reconnecting with my amazing teammates and, most importantly, YOU, the members. This past year has been a journey of rediscovery, helping me find my rhythm again. I want to thank all of you and Peloton for all the support.
I always want to give my all and I have realized that giving my all is incredibly tricky and a challenge with our current family set up. Therefore
I have now decided that it is time to embrace a new chapter and focus fully on my family.
My programs and classes will still be there for you and I hope to see your names lighting up the leaderboard and continuing to show up with that same energy and passion that make this community so special.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support, love, and dedication.”
