Peloton’s Countdown to Turkey Burn Challenge & Badge for 2026

Peloton’s Countdown to Turkey Burn Challenge will run from November 2-25, 2026, with a Gold badge for completing 18 eligible workouts.

You can join the challenge on Peloton’s website here. The challenge page says classes can be taken on any device.

Peloton describes the challenge as follows:

“Gear up for gratitude season with 4 weeks of cross-training and gobble up a special badge. Your strongest Turkey Burn ever awaits.”

There is one challenge tier: Gold for 18 workouts. The challenge ends on Wednesday, November 25, the day before Thanksgiving.

We previously shared the first details of this year’s Countdown to Turkey Burn. Peloton has now shared more about the weekly plan in an Instagram video featuring Andy Speer and Zacharias Niedzwiecki.

They describe each week as “easy as 3, 2, 1”:

  • 3 strength days: two full-body classes and one core class.
  • 2 cardio sessions: choose from Bike, Tread, and Row options.
  • 1 scenic day.

Classes start Monday, November 2. Andy and Zacharias describe it as a live cross-training program, with classes added to a collection as they are released over the four weeks.

That doesn’t mean every class will air live. Several Week 1 classes were listed as on-demand releases, and part of the plan overlaps the previously announced November studio closures: New York is closed November 2-8, followed by London November 9-13.

The 18-workout target matches last year’s Countdown to Turkey Burn challenge. However, the 2025 challenge ran through Thanksgiving Day, while this year’s ends the day before.

Andy and Zacharias also teased that “The Feast” would be back this year.
