Peloton instructor Matty Maggiacomo invited special guest and Peloton member Meg Morrison to come to Peloton Studios New York to take his April 14, 2024, live Broadway walk in person with him.
Following the class, both Peloton and Matty have taken to social media to share more about Meg with the Peloton community. The PelotonStudios Instagram account made a post with the caption “Nothing beats meeting our members! Peloton meet Meg, a member that is pure maggic✨”.
Within the video, Matty went on to share:
“Meg is an amazing young woman. She works in Avon, CT at a café that her family runs and owns. A lot of the time folks with DS are really underestimated. And when it comes to fitness, you just wouldn’t think that, oh, this is a person who takes my class all the time.”
“Obviously Meg is incredible as are folks who live with Down syndrome. In the Peloton community, everyone belongs.”
Matty also shared about the experience on his personal Instagram account earlier in the week, saying:
“We had the best time today! Special shoutout to @beanzandcompany if you’re in the Avon, CT area please go and pay them a visit, you may be lucky enough to meet Meg behind the counter. 80% of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are unemployed or underemployed, Beanz & Co.’s mission is to change that! #everyonebelongs #everyoneismaggic”
BeanZ & Co., an inclusive coffee café in Avon, CT, was launched in December 2018 by cofounders Kim Morrison (Meg’s mom) and Noelle Alix. Meg, as well as Noelle’s daughter, Cate, are young adults with Down syndrome. The mission of BeanZ & Co. is to “expand awareness of and reduce the 80% unemployment rate of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and to promote inclusive workplaces everywhere.” Half the staff at BeanZ & Co. have an intellectual or developmental disability.
