Alex Toussaint to Teach Outdoor Runs & Tread Walks; Becs Gentry to Return to Tread Bootcamps (or pre-run warm up?)?

Those who enjoy Peloton’s tread & outdoor content appear to be getting new class types from some of the running coaches in the near future.

Peloton instructor Alex Toussaint is apparently expanding his running portfolio at Peloton to include outdoor runs and Tread walks.

Alex recently shared an image on his Instagram story that showed him in what appeared to be one of the studios used for recording outdoor running classes.

We shared the news via social media, and a commenter expressed their desire to see Alex do walks on the Tread as well. Alex commented “coming soon!!”

Though Alex launched as a Tread instructor in November of 2022, he has strictly taught runs on the Tread – he has not taught any walks, walk + runs, or hikes; and he has also not dropped any audio-only outdoor running content.

That appears to be changing, though we cannot yet say for sure what the timeline will be.

In addition, Becs Gentry appears to be returning to teaching Tread bootcamp classes – or pre-run warm ups. She recently posted a video to her Instagram story showing herself getting ready to film a class in the Tread studio with a mat in front of the Tread.

This would suggest one of two things. One meaning is that Becs was filming a Tread bootcamp class, a modality that she has not taught on the Peloton platform since 2019 (there are currently 8 Tread bootcamps in the on-demand from Becs). Another meaning would be that she could be teaching some more pre-run warm ups, which she hasn’t taught since 2021.

Becs did not explicitly say which class type it is. She did not say in the video when the class will be released.

Are you excited to see Alex expand to walks and outdoor runs, and to potentially see Becs return to Tread bootcamps (or pre-run warm up stretches)?

Update – Updated the section about Becs Gentry to clarify it could be Tread Bootcamps, or pre-run warm up stretches.
