Rebecca Kennedy has confirmed that another edition of HiLit will be coming to Peloton in the future, though members should not expect it this fall.
Rebecca shared the news during the HiLit+ wrap party at Peloton Studios New York, which was held on August 27 to celebrate members completing the seven-week program.
When an attendee called out for another HiLit during a discussion about what members should do next, Rebecca responded:
“There has to be another one, right? Look at this. Good. We’re going to keep the party rolling. There will be another one.”
However, she immediately added that “it won’t be in the fall,” saying members will have “a few months” to use what they learned from HiLit+ and continue training on their own.
Rebecca did not give a date, name, or format for the next edition, so it is not yet clear whether it will be another HiLit+ plan or a different variation of the High Intensity, Low Impact format.
The confirmation comes after two HiLit plans have launched within the span of seven months. Rebecca’s original four-week HiLit Training Plan launched in January as Peloton’s first low-impact cross-training plan. As we noted when HiLit+ was first teased, Peloton said in its Q3 FY2026 earnings results that more than 400,000 members engaged with the original HiLit plan during the quarter. Peloton also credited HiLit in part for a 48% year-over-year increase in Pilates workouts.
HiLit+ followed on July 6, running through August 21 with six weeks of progressive training followed by a dedicated deload week. The plan included three strength days per week along with Low Impact Cardio, Outdoor walks, Pilates, and Jump Training.
During the wrap party, Rebecca also revealed some new statistics about HiLit+, which she said she had specifically asked to see ahead of the event.
According to Rebecca, 13,262 members completed all seven weeks of the plan. She said that accomplishment put them in the “top 2% of people that work out with us on Peloton.”
Collectively, members completed 1,747,792 workouts during the seven weeks and logged more than 46 million minutes of exercise, which Rebecca said was the equivalent of approximately 87.6 years of workout time.
Members also logged 369,709 miles through the Outdoor walking portions of HiLit+. Rebecca described that as roughly 16 trips around the Earth.
Rebecca called HiLit+ Peloton’s “first ever seven-week program” and the August event its “first ever wrap party.” Peloton had limited registration for the event to the first 100 HiLit+ members to RSVP, with the afternoon including member stories, a meet and greet, photos, patches for the “Rock Solid Crew,” and a DJ celebration.
A large portion of the discussion focused on what members should do now that HiLit+ is over.
Rebecca said one option is simply to repeat HiLit+, but she recommended changing the way members work through it. For someone settling into a new fall routine, she suggested repeating Week 1 twice, then Week 2 twice, Week 3 twice, and Week 4 twice. Members who strongly dislike repeating the same classes could instead complete Weeks 1-4 twice before taking another deload.
She said she prefers the first approach because repeating each week allows the body to adapt while preserving the progressive structure built into the plan.
Members who do not need the easier transition provided by Week 1 could also restart at Week 2.
Another option is returning to the original HiLit plan. Rebecca specifically pointed to the original version for members who want to transition back indoors during colder weather, noting that its Tread-based cardio was substantially more challenging than the Outdoor walking used in HiLit+.
Members can also take the basic HiLit formula and build their own training plan around Peloton’s class library. Rebecca said members could preserve the same general structure while swapping in their preferred forms of cardio, such as cycling, rowing, walking, or running.
However, she stressed that constantly taking different strength workouts is not necessarily the best way to build strength.
Rebecca recommended repeating the same programming for at least two weeks and ideally four to six weeks before changing the workouts. That keeps exercises, sets, reps, and other variables consistent enough to track progress and create a more deliberate progression.
She acknowledged that members can still get stronger by taking different live and on-demand classes, but said the progression will not be as precise because every instructor and class is programmed differently.
Another option is one of Rebecca’s existing strength splits. She noted that she currently has three-, four-, and five-day options of varying workout lengths, and said strength splits are generally meant to be repeated for six to 12 weeks before taking a deload and moving into a new training block.
For members preparing for a fall running race, however, Rebecca recommended a different approach entirely.
She said running should become the priority rather than trying to continue HiLit+ at the same intensity.
“I would not do HiLit the same way,” Rebecca explained, saying members should not empty the tank during three hard strength days while also trying to direct that energy toward marathon training.
She still recommended keeping some strength and mobility work in a running plan, pointing to Strength for Runners, Pilates, Barre, Standing Core, and potentially Jump Training as options that can support running.
Rebecca also gave members some guidance for eventually repeating HiLit+. Someone restarting the plan should not immediately use the same weights they reached near the end of the first round. She suggested starting Week 1 around 10-20% lighter than the weights used during Week 6.
She also recommended staying conservative during the first pass through Week 2, since the longer workouts, additional exercises, and increased difficulty are already built into the program. If members are repeating Week 2, she said the second time through is when they can begin increasing their weights again.
Rebecca gave similar advice to a member who was finishing six weeks of her three-day strength split and wanted to immediately start HiLit+. Rather than jumping directly from one program into the next, Rebecca recommended taking a lighter week first, specifically suggesting the HiLit+ deload week before beginning Week 1.
There were also a few hints about future Peloton content during the discussion.
Rebecca confirmed that she plans to teach more Jump Training classes after incorporating them into HiLit+, saying, “I will continue to do more of those.” However, she cautioned that Jump Training will not become a class she teaches live on a regular basis.
Peloton introduced Jump Training as a new class type in March, initially with classes from Joslyn Thompson Rule and Katie Wang. Rebecca subsequently incorporated the modality into several weeks of HiLit+.
Rebecca also informally floated the possibility of more step aerobics-inspired content. After an attendee said the HiLit+ Low Impact Cardio classes reminded her of step aerobics, Rebecca asked the room whether Peloton should “bring back step aerobics.” Following a loud response from the crowd, she joked, “You heard it here first” and said the idea was now in the hands of her producer.
There was an even smaller tease when an attendee asked whether Rebecca might teach Walking Meditations. Rebecca said she believes she would first need to become certified in meditation, but told the member, “You’re not far away from what I want to do,” before adding that she loves the idea of a visualization walk.
For now, all of the existing HiLit and HiLit+ workouts remain available individually through their Collections, meaning members can revisit them or use the classes as building blocks while waiting to see what Rebecca has planned for the next edition.
