Peloton is removing a sub-class type from their bike bootcamp offerings: core-focused Bike Bootcamp.
Instructor Tunde Oyeneyin shared via her Instagram Stories last week that Core Bike Bootcamp classes will no longer be offered as a class type moving forward. Tunde conducted a question series via Instagram, and a user brought up Core Bike Bootcamp. Tunde responded with the revelation that Peloton no longer offers this class type. She stated:
“We no longer offer this as a class type. Check out the 5 and 10 minute core classes I just dropped on demand. Take it as a stack. I promise you won’t want any more than that.”
Though the last-released Core Bike Bootcamp became available in August 2024 – a 30 minute class from August 18 with Cliff Dwenger – Peloton had not communicated that Core Bike Bootcamp had been sunsetted, until now.
While this marks the end of new additions to the category, members can still access previous classes using the “Body Focus” filter within the Bike Bootcamp section of the Peloton platform. There are dozens of Core Bike Bootcamp classes available for members to take; however, we now know that none will be added moving forward.
Peloton will likely not provide exact reasoning for why they are doing away with core-focused bike bootcamps. Interestingly, the timing of the most recent class coincided with the launch of Peloton’s new 50/50 Bootcamp format, which offers an equal split between strength and cardio with only one transition. This may suggest a strategic shift in focus toward the 50/50 format.
Note that Tunde only mentioned core-focused Bike Bootcamp classes; it appears at least upper body Bike bootcamp classes will still be periodically produced. Jess Sims has a Upper Body bike bootcamp on the schedule for later in February. Prior to that: there has not been a new Upper Body Bike Bootcamp since August 6, 2024; and there has not been a new Lower Body Bike Bootcamp since January 3, 2023.
Just as Peloton periodically launches new class types, they also periodically do away with existing class types, or make adjustments to standard formats. For example, back in 2021 Peloton placed a 30 minute time limit on Tabata classes.
Of course, keep in mind that Peloton has a new CEO who recently started, so priority and plans could change – and class types could be added back.

Personally I tried the bike bootcamp and found that taking my shoes off & then putting them back on was too much of a hassle for me. Instead I use the treadmill bootcamps. Especially the HIIT bootcamps with Andy Spear.
