25+ Best Peloton Classes

Peloton makes high-end stationary cycling, treads, and rowing machines while offering a subscription service of both live and on-demand classes that can be accessed through an internet connected touch-screen on the device or through an app. You can join the subscription service through the Peloton app without having a Peloton machine. The app is really helpful for when I am on the go and I will use the tread classes or some of the strength and outdoor walking classes while traveling. New classes are uploaded each week and that is such a great way to change things up while sometimes a tad bit overwhelming. So, today, I am sharing a roundup of the best Peloton classes I have taken that you can add to your routine.

25+ Best Peloton Classes

There are so many class options, whether you are a beginner or wanting recovery or low impact, bike, yoga, barre, pilates, or strength classes. These classes are taught by empowering instructors with a variety of community-building events, whether it is a themed class, a specific-artist playlist, or a monthly celebration. There are also challenges, whether it is for monthly goals, targeted for specific body types, or the annual tracking. Some of my favorite instructors are Cody Rigsby, Jess Sims, Kirra Michel, and Hannah Corbin.

Best Peloton Classes for Beginners

20 Minute Beginner Ride with Robin Arzón

Robin is so fun and is a great instructor for getting comfortable on the Bike. She is great about coaching you on your form and sharing insights about the leaderboard, and she always has a great playlist. This one features Beyoncé and Taylor Swift.

30 Minute Advanced Beginner Ride with Alex Toussaint

Alex has probably my favorite classes out of anyone, and this Advanced Beginner Ride is a great way to spend 30 minutes building on the basics while also adding some more challenge. His playlists are always great and his energy is so fun.

20 Minute Beginner Run with Marcel Dinkins

Whether you have a tread or are lacing up to run outside, this run has a great playlist and good energy for easing into running.

30 Minute Advanced Beginner Run with Adrian Williams

Adrian is always good for a pumped up playlist and this one is fun for a run. This class is good for building on the basics, especially on the tread, and coaches you through new running skills and concepts. I did this outdoors since I do not have a tread and enjoyed it just as much.

20 Minute Slow Yoga Flow with Chelsea Jackson Roberts

This is a slower version of the slow flow classes on the app to provide more instruction and more experience with different poses. If you are unfamiliar with certain yoga poses, this is a great place to start. That said, the app includes classes for specific poses that are usually 10 minutes to explore as you begin your practice.

30 Minute Advanced Beginner Pop Yoga Flow with Chelsea Jackson Roberts

Chelsea Jackson Roberts teaches really great yoga classes and this yoga flow is a great way to challenge new sequences with familiar postures. I always love her conversations during class and find her to be really motivational and calming.

Best Peloton Warm-Up, Cool-Down, and Stretching Classes

5 Minute Warm Up Ride with Emma Lovewell

I never skip a warm up ride and this one is one of my favorites to get into the groove of working out. The play list includes The Killers “Mr. Brightside,” so it is a good one.

5 Minute Warm Up Ride with Leanne Hainsby-Alldis

My all-time favorite hype song is Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” and that is the entire song playing throughout this warm up ride that wakes up your muscles and gets your heart rate elevated to prepare for the rest of your workouts.

5 Minute Cool Down Ride with Robin Arzón

I love a cool down ride to flush out my legs and lower my heart rate post workout. This cool down playlist is Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well (Taylor’s Version) and sometimes gets a good little sob out of me at the end for an emotional release, too.

10 Minute AFO Cool Down Ride: RÜFÜS DU SOL with Tunde Oyeneyin

This cool down is one of my absolute favorite rides from my entire time taking classes on Peloton. The playlist is so good and it is an enjoyable way to end my workouts. I even do this after doing walking workouts on my walking pad or after strength trainings.

5 Minute Full Body Stretch with Callie Gullickson

A great song with an even better quick stretch after a ride.

10 Minute AFO Full Body Florence+The Machine with Hannah Corbin

I have loved doing barre classes with Hannah, and this stretch was a great one with her energy and that playlist.

15 Minute Hip Mobility with Kirra Michel

This 15 minute class focused on hip mobility is one of my favorites for when my hips are tight, especially after lots of cycling classes.

20 Minute Dr. Dre Full Body Stretch with Hannah Corbin

For days where you need a really good stretch, try this 20-minute full body stretch with the incredible Dr. Dre.

Best Peloton Bike Cycling Classes

20 Minute 80s Hip Hop Ride with Leanne Hainsby-Alldis

This is a fun ride if you are looking for a ride that is moderately difficult, then you need to bookmark this 20 minute ride with Leanne. And the playlist, y’all! It is *so* good!

20 Minute 90s Pop Ride with Tunde Oyeneyin

Tunde always has a great playlist and this 90s playlist is my favorite out of this series. Ally Love, Kendall Toole, and Cody Rigsby are some of the other popular instructors with classes in this genre as well.

30 Minute Intervals & Arms Ride with Alex Toussaint

This class includes bursts of effort that alternate with free weight segments. It is a great challenge and, of course, a killer playlist matched with Alex’s signature energy.

30 Minute Amy Winehouse Ride with Hannah Frankson

You’d be surprised at how hard you will push in this ride matching Amy Winehouse’s soulful lyrics and vocals. I love this ride and for some reason,I always enjoy it as a nice weekend class.

30 Minute Club Bangers featuring Lil Jon with Alex Toussaint

I first started taking Alex’s club bangers classes on Saturday mornings and always looked forward to those classes. This class was incredible–hands down one of the best classes I have taken in all the time we have owned our Peloton.

30 Minute Lil’ Wayne Ride with Camila Ramón

My friend, Jen, recommended this ride to me and my goodness! It was such a fun ride! It is invigorating thanks to the playlist and the energy that Camila brings into her teaching and choreography.

45 Minute HIIT & Hills Ride with Tunde Oyeneyin

This class is more difficult, and will definitely get your heart rate up with the high-intensity components. Pay attention to the audience on this one. You will see Yankees’ star, Aaron Judge, participating in the ride. I may or may not have PRed this one.

Best Peloton Strength Training Classes

10 Minute Arms & Shoulder Strength with Tunde Oyeneyin

While this is a focused class on arms and shoulders, there is a little work for the lower body and core, too! As always, Tunde is so fun and this class is perfect for getting in a quick workout.

10 Minute Yeah Yeah Yeahs Core Strength with Olivia Amato

The playlist on this is amazing, especially since it starts with Heads Will Roll and a great, quick core workout.

15 Minute Core Strengh with Emma Lovewell

Emma had a really great challenge on Peloton for the core, so if that is an area you want to strengthen, definitely check that out! I often add on one of these strength classes after a ride before my stretches, and I really enjoy this one.

30 Minute Hip Hop Full Body Strength with Robin Arzón

Robin is such a great instructor anyway, and her strength classes are some of my favorites to take. This one is fast-paced, has a great playlist, and will leave you sore without making you want to quit halfway through the class.

30 Minute Full Body Strength with Jess Sims

This full body strength class is an energetic one with dynamic movements with light and medium weights. Jess is one of those instructors that keeps me motivated and I am not dreading the class.

30 Minute 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Upper Body with Callie Gullickson

I love a themed playlist, and Callie is so cute anyway, so she really nails this playlist with this upper body intensive. You will need medium weights.

Best Peloton Barre + Pilates Classes

15 Minute Hip Hop Pilates with Anna Greenberg

I love pilates classes for core work, increasing flexibility, and body awareness, especially when it is combined with a hip hop playlist.

15 Minute Barre with Hannah Corbin

For a quick workout, this 15 minute class has RÜFÜS DU SOL and fun energy!

20 Minute Kacey Musgraves Pilates with Aditi Shah

This pilates class is full body work and Kacey Musgraves is one of my favorite artists.

20 Minute Pop Barre with Hannah Corbin

This class was for women’s history month, so it is empowering with a playlist full of women powerhouse artists.

30 Minute Barre with Hannah Corbin

Barre is one of my favorite workouts and for days when I cannot get to the barre studio, this is a great class! It is a low-impact, high-energy class with small movements that leaves me feeling strengtehned, energized, and balanced.

Best Peloton Yoga Classes

10 Minute Focus Flow: Hips with Chelsea Jackson Roberts

I love to add this class on after a lot of cycling or just when my hips need a bit more stretching. I like the 10 minute classes for a quick addition or even as a stand alone on really busy days.

10 Minute Restorative with Kirra Michel

I really enjoy this yoga class when traveling to relieve any anxiety or to lean into some stretching after being on a plane or in a car for a while.

20 Minute Focus Flow: Hips with Kirra Michel

This yoga class focuses on poses that help engage, strengthen, and open up your hips. This is the perfect complement for all the hard work on the Bike or Tread.
