Peloton is releasing new scenic classes filmed on the French Riviera, with five Premieres running from August 31 through September 4.
These are video guided scenic classes, meaning Emma Lovewell and Katie Wang were filmed on location rather than narrating over stock footage from a sound booth. They were shot earlier this year.
You can view the complete class list below:

Scenic content has been restricted to hardware since Peloton’s 2021 scenic relaunch, available only on a Bike, Tread, or Row, and only the content matching your device. Since these are the first scenic Pilates & Strength classes, it is unclear whether these two will be locked to hardware owners the way scenic classes always have been, or whether they will be available in the app like other strength and Pilates content.
This is also Katie Wang’s first hike and first run on the platform. She has run on camera before, joining Andy Speer for a two for one Tread Bootcamp last September and running beside him on a second Tread through the running blocks.
Instructors sometimes cross modalities for scenic shoots. Ally Love taught both a Walk + Run and a Walk in the Miami classes last year despite not normally teaching those modalities, Ben Alldis has taught a scenic hike in Iceland, and Adrian Williams a scenic ride in Savannah, among other instances.
Those Miami classes, two Tread classes and a ride released in April 2025, were the last video guided scenic classes Peloton put out, so this is the first batch in roughly sixteen months. Long gaps are becoming the pattern here, as Miami itself was the first on-location scenic release in nearly two years.
Most new scenic classes have been audio guided scenic classes, where the instructor records narration from Peloton Studios over footage of a destination, all of which end up in the Audio Guided Scenic collection. Peloton also tried a hybrid for the German market during Reiselust week, showing video of instructors in studio layered over scenic footage.
As a reminder, both Peloton Studios London and Peloton Studios New York are closed on August 31, and PSL is out through that whole week.
