The Peloton Pilates team will be adding a new instructor to the roster – Ash Pryor.
During her 30 min Walk + Run class today, on October 18th, Robin Arzon had fellow instructors Ash Pryor & Mariana Fernandez in class. Robin shared that Ash will be competing in an upcoming HYROX competition – along with many of her fellow instructors.
Later, Robin stated that you could find Ash on both the Peloton Row & teaching Pilates classes – breaking the news that Ash Pryor would begin teaching Pilates classes for Peloton.
Robin realized what she said moments later, as she quickly tried to play it off and said nobody heard that. That moment of class where Robin shared about Ash teaching Pilates was edited out of the on-demand recording.
It also sounded like she said that the launch would take place in January. It is important to note that this is not Peloton’s official announcement and the timing could change.
Ash first became a Peloton instructor in 2022 alongside the launch of the Peloton Row. Rowing is currently her only modality, and it is not uncommon for instructors to eventually branch into other fitness practices on the Peloton platform. Both of her fellow instructors who started as rowing only instructors have branched out. Katie Wang became a strength instructor in 2024, and Alex Karwoski began teaching Tread classes earlier this year.
Ash has previously shared on social media that she is working on her Pilates certification. On September 15 she posted a video to Instagram showing her practicing side bends with what looked like a text book in front of her, with the caption “Poppin side bends & 🍑 yes please 🙌🏾”. Earlier this year Ash was also a guest on the “Hurdle” podcast with Emily Abbate, and she spoke about working on her Pilates certification. You can listen to the full episode via Spotify.
Peloton has not added a Pilates instructor to the coaching team since Emma Lovewell began teaching classes again earlier this year after a lengthy hiatus.
As of publishing time signs indicate that any official announcement regarding Ash joining the Peloton Pilates team may still be a ways off since Robin mentioned a January timeline. However, we will share any and all updates as they become available.
Will you be excited to see Ash Pryor join the Peloton Pilates instructor team?
