Peloton has released a 30 min Walk + Run featuring bestselling author and organizational psychologist Adam Grant alongside Robin Arzón.
Adam and Robin walk and run side by side on two Treads on the instructor platform in a two for one style class, with members taking the class in studio. The workout is available in the on-demand library from October 13, 2026 @ 9:00am ET.
The appearance is timed with the October 13 release of Adam’s new book, Vibe: The Secrets of Strong Connections in a Lonely World, which explores building stronger relationships and communities.
Peloton highlighted the class through an in-app notification. The class description reads:
“Split your sweat 50/50 between walking and running in this Tread workout and join Robin as she discusses the importance of human connection with best selling author, Adam Grant.”
Robin coaches alternating walks and runs, building from easy pace to a final minute at challenging pace. She observes in the class that many celebrity guests choose to walk, but Adam opted to run.
During the workout, Robin and Adam discuss why making friends as an adult can be difficult, how shared experiences help people connect, and how rituals can help build stronger relationships. Adam also talks about the motivation that can come from recognizing someone on the leaderboard and knowing they are pushing themselves alongside you.
The conversation includes suggestions such as asking someone what they love rather than what they do for work. Near the end, Adam encourages members to introduce one friend to another as a small step toward building community.
Members in the studio also join the conversation. One shares how group challenges have helped with consistency and friendship, while another discusses checking in when familiar people stop showing up for workouts.
Robin shares that she and Adam met at a dinner party around the release of his earlier book, Hidden Potential. She also credits him with introducing her to Sarah Robb O’Hagan, Peloton’s Chief Content and Member Development Officer, who is in the studio for the class. Emma Lovewell was also taking the class in studio.
Robin previously appeared on Adam’s ReThinking podcast in February 2024, when the two discussed running, motivation, and hustle culture.
Previously, Mel Robbins joined Matty Maggiacomo for a Walk & Talk in May 2025, also using two Treads on the main platform, while Abby Wambach and Julie Foudy recently joined Kirsten Ferguson for a Welcome To The Party Walk + Run.
Robin also has a ride with clinical psychologist Dr. Becky Kennedy scheduled for October 15 at 1:30pm ET.
