Peloton’s German language summer class series is back for 2026, but under a new name. What used to be called Summer Break is now Reiselust Week, with classes starting Monday, August 3.
Peloton announced the series via social media, with a post roughly translating to:
“Vacation mode: activated. Wanderlust Week kicks off on Monday! Escape the daily grind and look forward to courses filled with picturesque shots of German-speaking holiday regions that will put you right in the mood for high summer.”
Reiselust translates roughly to wanderlust, or a desire to travel – and the series is about instructors taking members on a “virtual vacation” through German-speaking regions.

There are 14 classes this year, spanning cycling, running, walking, strength, yoga, Pilates, stretching, and meditation, all taught in German. You can view the complete class list below:

In these classes, the production team actually shows scenic footage during class – much like a traditional scenic ride (however, these classes are not restricted to hardware devices only like true scenic classes).
While much of the class you see the instructor like normal, at other times the video swaps to show scenic footage from whatever area is being described. There are also moments while scenic footage is showing that they show the instructor in a small picture in picture window in the corner as well.

The 2025 Summer Break series had six classes, five of which were two for one classes with paired instructors. This year there are 14 classes and only two are two for one, meaning most instructors are teaching solo.
Peloton has also rebranded the existing collection to match. What used to be the Summer Break collection is now the Reiselust Week collection, and it still houses all the previous Summer Break classes going back to 2022 alongside the new ones. The description reads:
“Escape to German-speaking vacation destinations in workouts featuring scenic footage to get you in the spirit of getaway season. Join live starting 4 August or catch the classes on demand.”
This is the fifth year Peloton has run the series, which started as Summer Break in 2022 and has returned every year since.
Previous years awarded members a badge for taking the classes, but there is no new badge attached at this time. We will update if that changes. You can always find a full list of Peloton badges here.
