We’ve all been new to Peloton at some point, and we know from experience that the extensive library of world class live and on demand workouts in a variety of modalities can be overwhelming. If you don’t know where to start, we’ve got you covered. Keep reading for our tips on how to get started with Peloton.

What Peloton Classes Should You Take First? 

With so many classes to try, you may feel like it’s impossible to choose just one as your first ever Peloton class. That’s why we put together the Welcome to Peloton Collection. Whether you’re testing out a Peloton Bike or giving the Peloton App a try, this collection covers a wide range of modalities that we offer to help you get acquainted. You’ll train with a variety of instructors who all have unique teaching styles, and they’ll help you learn the basics and what you can expect in each class type. (You can also check out our Meet the Team Collection, which includes warm-ups with every instructor.)

Start your day with Aditi Shah’s 20 min Morning Yoga Flow, kick up the energy with Alex Touissant in his signature 30 min Club Bangers Ride, sweat it out with Alex Karwoski in his 30 min HIIT Row, and more. Whatever class you pick, we know you’re going to love it.

How To Prepare For Your First Peloton Class

Once you’ve picked out a class, make sure to set yourself up with enough room to roll out a workout mat and be able to comfortably move in the space around you. When you press start on your class, your instructor will run through everything you need to know to be successful to complete the workout. After a quick introduction, they’ll note any additional equipment you’ll need, which footwear might be suitable, and remind you to keep a water bottle and towel nearby. Then they’ll dive into an overview of the class plan, pump you up, and then it’s off to the races!

After the class finishes, your post-workout screen will allow you to rate the difficulty and then view your personal statistics (if you’ve linked a smartwatch or heart rate monitor) and any badges you’ve earned. If you loved the class and want to revisit it again and again, simply bookmark it for safekeeping—or share it on Facebook and Instagram stories to bring your friends in on the fun.
