Peloton instructor Leanne Hainsby is once again dropping hints that she will be expanding her classes to include Barre – or possibly even Pilates – on the platform.
In case you missed it, last fall we reported that Leanne had teased on social media that she was working on something new, sharing images that were specifically labeled “Barre.” This was back in October, and there has been no news since then.
However, the hints from Leanne have started back up. The latest tease came during the cooldown of the 30 minute British Summer Fest Two For One strength class with Joslyn Thompson Rule and Ben Alldis.
Leanne popped into the studio for the post-class stretch, and she playfully noted how much she enjoyed being in the strength studio, hinting that she should be there more often. She then added that if she were there more regularly, she’d be doing pliés – her “kind of thing.” While pliés are a foundational movement in both Barre and Pilates, they are most commonly utilized in Barre classes on the Peloton platform.
She then had Ben follow her through a few movements.
Leanne further fueled those rumors by sharing on social media that she has been working on new class types, suggesting a bigger reveal might be on the horizon in the near future.
Currently, Peloton has just two instructors teaching Barre: Hannah Corbin and Ally Love. However, Ally has not released a Barre class in roughly two months, and Peloton could be looking to supplement the modality with an additional instructor, especially if either Hannah or Ally have time off coming up.
Back in April Peloton refreshed their Barre and Pilates content with new class names and formats.
Whether Leanne’s new venture ends up being Barre, Pilates, or both, we will be sure to share details as they become available.
