The short answer is: nobody knows right now.
Peloton closed their studio to the public for classes on March 14th, 2020. It has remained closed ever since then. As various health restrictions have been lifted, many people have been wondering when the studio will reopen so people can sign up and take classes in person with their favorite coaches.
Peloton has stayed quiet on the subject, providing no guidance. They have simply said there is no set in stone date for the Peloton studio to reopen. It’s likely Peloton will proceed very cautiously – although visiting the studio is a great experience for those who can, and also helps provide some extra energy for instructors to feed off – at the end of the day, there are millions of members worldwide who all take the classes remotely.
Peloton will want to protect the health of their instructors, to ensure they can keep teaching classes. It’s possible the the studio will stay closed for all of 2021, and not open until sometime in 2022.
We will be sure to update this article once more information is available.

Update – On March 4th we revealed Peloton Sessions would be returning soon, thanks to a FAQ page update, and will contain an integration with Scheduling. On March 9th, Peloton began to tease the return too.
In the winter of 2020, Peloton released a new feature known as Peloton Sessions. This was described as a limited time beta when it launched, but not much more was said. The feature allowed people to join classes together and have the leaderboard synced up. After less than a month, the feature was removed.
When it was removed, Peloton stated “we’ll make it even better when it’s officially released.” – confirming that Peloton Sessions would return. However, the exact date has not been confirmed, but it looks like it will be early March.
Now that the Peloton scheduling feature has been released, there is the potential for Peloton to integrate it more closely with Sessions when it returns. For example, it could be updated so that the class you schedule is a private session for you and the friends you invited to it.
Periodically, the video screen on the Peloton Bike & Tread will say a software update has been downloaded and installed. However, there is typically no screen or message saying what has changed with the update. This prompts the question of how do you find release notes for what changed in the most recent Peloton update.
Unfortunately, there are no official release notes provided. When major new features are released, Peloton will display a special popup promoting the feature. For most updates, no prompt will be provided. Many updates are bug fixes and performance increases.
Peloton has slowly been growing more global over the years. They first expanded to Canada, then a few years later, over to the United Kingdom. Peloton then branched out into their first foreign language market – Germany. Once this happened, the floodgates of questions opened about What language will Peloton classes be in next? In particular, a lot of people seem to hope that they will be able to take their next bike ride, or tread run, in Spanish.
In April 2021, Peloton officially announced they would be introducing Spanish language Peloton classes. To start off with, only Peloton yoga classes are available in Spanish, led by new instructor Mariana Fernandez, who will be teaching out of the NYC studio.
It seems likely that the next step will be for Peloton to add Spanish language cycling classes on the Bike, or Spanish language running classes for the Tread – but at this point it isn’t clear how long it will be before Peloton expands their Spanish language classes offerings.
With the new class stacking feature that was just released, members are already wishing for a few extra additions.
Can you share a class stack on Peloton
Unfortunately, there is no social or sharing functionality for class stacks at this time.
Bookmarking a Peloton Class Stack
Since there is no sharing of class stacks, there is also no bookmarking. Once Peloton allows members to share class stacks with friends, perhaps a bookmark feature will be added.
Can you create multiple class stacks for Peloton
Again, the answer here is unfortunately no. You can only have one stack. As you complete a stack, it disappears from the stack automatically.
Is Peloton Class Stacking available for iOS or Android?
You may start a stack that you created somewhere else. At time of publishing, stacks can only be made on the Bike, Tread, or Peloton website (which you can access from the mobile browser of your phone).
Definition of HIIT for Peloton Bike or Run
HIIT stands for high intensity interval training. With HIIT, intervals can be of varying lengths, which are done at either high or max intensity. What makes a workout HIIT is repeating short duration, high intensity blocks of work, with some active recovery / moderate work in between each interval. The high intensity work blocks can be anywhere from 10 seconds to 2-3 minutes. Sometimes the active recovery block will be the same amount of time as the HIIT interval (i.e. 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off), while sometimes they will be varying lengths. HIIT is sometimes referenced as a 1:1 workout ratio, for example when doing 30 on 30 off. Peloton HIIT workouts are usually described as either “bursts of effort followed by active recovery” or “short bursts of anaerobic exercise mixed with recovery periods”
The following is an example of what output might look like for a HIIT workout. You’ll see bursts of effort, followed by periods of rest. Note that the exact format can vary greatly – don’t read too much into the structure of this single example!
Definition of Intervals
Whereas the intervals of HIIT are done at max or high intensity, with generic “Interval” training, the work is usually done at a more moderate intensity. This allows work blocks to be longer length, since the intensity isn’t at such a high level.
Definition of Tabata for Peloton Bike or Run (What does Tabata Mean?)
Tabata is a specific form of HIIT – defined by doing 20 seconds of work (also at high or near max intensity, like HIIT), followed by 10 seconds of rest/recovery. This can also be said as a 2:1 workout ratio of effort to recovery for Tabata. In the textbook definition, this should be done for 4 minutes total. Peloton Tabata workouts usually stick to this textbook definition, but every now and then a class might appear that slightly modifies these time – but keeps the 2:1 workout ratio.
The following is an example of what output might look like for a Tabata workout. This is one where Peloton calls it Tabata, but rather than 20 seconds on then 10 seconds off, the workout is 40 seconds on, 20 seconds off (still that 2:1 ratio).
Wondering where the name Tabata came from? A team of scientists in Japan, lead by Dr. Izumi Tabata, conducted a study looking at two groups of athletes. One group worked out 5 days a week for 6 weeks, with each daily workout being one hour of moderate intensity work. The other group mixed some moderate/low intensity work with an added daily HIIT workout that was 4 minutes and 20 seconds total (consisting of 20 seconds of high intensity work with 10 seconds of rest). At the end of the study, the first group (moderate intensity only) saw gains in aerobic systems, but no anaerobic gains. The second group (short high intensity) had slightly higher aerobic gains than the first group, but also had gains in their anaerobic systems. Based on this study, the 2:1 workout ratio of HIIT (or 20 seconds on 10 seconds off), was named after the lead scientist – Dr. Izumi Tabata.
Difference between Tabata & HIIT & Intervals for Peloton Bike or Run
The difference between Tabata & HIIT for Peloton is that Tabata is a specific type of HIIT with a 2:1 workout ratio (i.e. 20 seconds on then 10 seconds off, or 40 seconds on, 20 seconds off) while HIIT intervals can be of varying lengths of work to rest. The difference between those and intervals is that the intensity level is generally lower for regular interval training, which allows for longer duration of work blocks.
One frequent question is “What are the usernames of the Peloton coaches”. Peloton instructors will occasionally ride along to rides like regular users, and you’re able to see their stats, and give and receive high fives. The following is a list of Peloton instructor’s usernames, that is correct at time of publishing. If one has changed, please let us know! Like any other user, the Peloton coaches are able to change their usernames at any point, or make them private.

The Peloton coaches are becoming celebrities in their own rights, but there is also a separate list of Peloton usernames of celebrities, professional athletes, and musicians you can check out as well if you want.
One common question people have is they start out by trying Peloton through the Peloton Digital app. After the free trial expires, the Peloton Digital subscription is only $13 a month. They then purchase a Peloton Bike or Tread, and find out their cost has jumped from $13/month to $39/month. What is the reason for this big difference in price?
With the app, you get no metrics (besides heart rate), are limited to one user using the subscription, and don’t show up on the leaderboard.
With a full subscription through a Peloton device, you get full metrics (power, cadence, heart rate), are able to compete via the leaderboard, and can have multiple logins through your subscription (so you and multiple people in your household can work out on Peloton digital through the same subscription).
Some people have reported that when they go to ride their Peloton they get an error screen with a message that says “No Command”, and has a picture of a dead Android icon (sometimes also referred to as the Peloton Dead Robot or Peloton Sad Robot). The bike obviously won’t work when this is happening. The first step would be to try turning it off and on again, as well as unplugging it from the wall, waiting 1 minute, and plugging it back in again.
If those steps don’t fix the “No Command” issue, try the following steps:
- Press and hold the power button and “volume up” buttons at the same time.
- Once the screen turns on, let go of both buttons at the same time.
- Use the volume down button to scroll to the menu item that says “Wipe Cache Partition”. Press the power button to select it.
- Once this process completes, use the power button to reset your Peloton.
If the steps above don’t work, or you don’t get to the system screen to select “Wipe Cache Partition”, try again, but only hold the power and volume up button for 3 seconds.
All your data is stored on the cloud, so you won’t lose any rides or history by resetting the cache partition. You will have to re-add your user profiles again, but once those are added, it will import all your history again!
The Peloton app, website, bike and tread allow you to “Count Me In” for upcoming classes. At this time, there is no way to import that list of upcoming classes you are scheduled for into a calendar of any sort (Outlook, Google Calendar, iCal, gCal, etc).
However, if you visit the Peloton schedule from a desktop web browser and click “Count Me In” for a specific class, the popup then gives you an “Add to Calendar” link for that specific class. Your options are iCal, Google, Yahoo, and Outlook. You have to repeat this for each individual class that you want to appear on your calendar.
If you want an upcoming list of all classes for specific instructors, there is no native way to do this that Peloton provides. However, the team at reddit has created individual calendar links for each instructor. These are not updated dynamically or automatically, but rather once a week or so as the moderators have time.
The short answer is after 100 workouts of the same type, Peloton will email you a code for your Peloton Century club shirt. We have a whole guide just for the century shirt though, including topics like shipping, sizing, eligibility, and more. Check out the full guide here!
While not officially announced, it is very likely Peloton will have a Black Friday sale in 2019. Previous years have seen Black Friday specials where you get a free “The Works” accessory packages with the purchase of a bike. You can find details of any specials & sales here once they are announced!
