When Peloton’s schedule changes roll out next month, it will include a new “full time” Peloton Tread instructor: Mariana Fernandez.
Mariana was first added as a Tread coach last year. However, she has technically been a part time, or substitute teacher on the Tread until now. Rather than having her own dedicated timeslot, she was filling in for other instructors’ timeslots here and there.
This has resulted in her not having as many Tread classes as some of the other instructors may have had – even knowing that Mariana does teach on both the Tread & yoga mat.
However, starting next month with the latest changes to the Peloton live schedule, it appears that Mariana has finally been given her own regular time slot on the Peloton Tread for running & walking classes on Thursday evenings.
Mariana shared the news during her 60 minute Walk + Run class from Saturday, August 17.
In the class, Mariana shared how up until now she has been filling in, but that was changing next month, saying:
“It has taken me months, years to arrive here. And even once we got here, it was selective on this Tread. Filling in…
Thanks to this community, thanks to moving forward, thanks to positivity and believing. Next time I’m back on this Tread, it’s a full time slot, baby! We’re here to stay, we’re here to run together, to take these journeys together. We’re coming back on Thursdays.”
Mariana has also dubbed her Peloton running community the “Lost Toys Run Club”, sharing:
“I’m calling it the #LostToysRunClub for all of you that feel like lost toys out there. The only requirement is you got to be a little bit janky, and that’s it.”
Mariana would go on to say that she wants everyone to be welcome, and it is designed to be an inclusive run club. In a reply to a post by @celestineoninsta (where you can see a clip of her making the announcement), Mariana said:
“It’s a run club that is inclusive- welcomes everyone – especially if you’ve felt like an outsider or on the fringes- we all belong in this run club 🧸”
Mariana’s first run in her new regular time slot will be Thursday, September 5th @ 7:00pm ET. This will be a 60 min endurance run.
The one piece that is unknown at this time is how her new running schedule will be impacted by artist series classes. Typically, artist series classes take place on Thursday evenings, with different instructors rotating through to teach those classes. It is not clear at this time if the artist series time slot may be changing, or if, even though Mariana has a “permanent” time slot, she’ll teach slightly less than she would at another time due to artist series classes taking place around the same time.
