Peloton performed a small purge of classes on Friday, October 13; however, this was unlike the routine class library maintenance members have grown accustomed in previous weeks.
Instead of removing 2-3 continuous weeks of content (as has been the case for several months now), only a few classes spread out over a wider length of time were targeted. Moreover, there is not an obvious connection between the classes that were removed.
For example, as reported to us by #MidwifeLexi, there were three classes taught by Becs Gentry that have disappeared on Friday. They took place more than two years apart (one of the classes is even from earlier this year). There also doesn’t appear to be a single artist who was on all 3 of these playlists.
The 3 Becs Gentry classes removed in this purge were:
- 45 min. Pop Run – Bes Gentry – 2/20/21 @ 8:30am ET
- 30 min. Recovery Run – Becs Gentry – 5/10/22 @ 7:00pm ET
- 30 min. Intervals Run – Becs Gentry – 3/15/23 @ 7:00pm ET
Other instructors had a handful of classes removed as well; similarly spread apart over a longer length of time, and not focused on a numerous weeks’ period as has been the case up to this point.
This included the removal of newer classes like Jess Sims’ Boston marathon class, as well as Camila Ramon’s 60 min Reggaeton ride.
Based on the class library maintenance performed on October 6, which saw the removal of classes from July 28-August 10, 2020, we anticipated the next purge would target classes filmed between August 11-25, 2020. However, for whatever reason Peloton appears to have purged random classes spread throughout the library instead of a two week block.
Class library maintenance is Peloton’s removal of older classes from the on demand library, which has been taking place nearly weekly on Fridays since April of 2023. We’ve covered the classes removed each week a purge has taken place.
If Peloton’s pattern holds, we anticipate that classes filmed between approximately August 11-25, 2020 will be removed on a Friday in the near future – unless this week begins the start of a new pattern & type of purges – and will of course share updates as they become available.
