Creating your own workout sanctuary wouldn’t be the same if you had to choose between convenience and community. Luckily, with Peloton’s community features, you don’t. There are lots of ways to connect to the Leaderboard names you know (sometimes just virtually) and the friends you already love within the Peloton community. Get to know the top Peloton community features that keep you connected to others every time you take a Peloton class.

Leaderboard

This one might be a no-brainer, but the first place to go to feel that Peloton connection is the Leaderboard. Whether you’re opting in to a live workout or taking one on-demand, the scrolling list of Members on the right-hand side of your touchscreen will be there to support you no matter what. If you’re in a live class, the Leaderboard names you see are people who are currently taking the same class as you along with their real-time ranking. Clipping in for an on-demand workout? This list will reflect the names of Members who have previously taken class including your ranking against their previously set Leaderboard position.

Teams

Peloton Teams allow you to build invite-only and public groups of up to 50,000 people to ride, run, row, and sweat together. There’s a host of ways to use teams—work towards shared goals, compete against each other, or send encouraging messages to keep everyone on top of their game. You’ll see a shared Leaderboard with weekly team member stats, including total time spent working out, number of workouts completed, and more. There’s also the ability to post directly to your team’s feed and tag members using @mentions. Whether you make a team full of your IRL Peloton friends or virtual workout buddies who you know by the Leaderboard name, teams are an encouraging way to connect with other Members and stay motivated to crush your goals together.

Tags

We want you to show up as your whole self—and we know you can't fit that into a single name. Tags allows you to express the many facets of your identity and connect with the various communities you're a part of. You can add up to 10 tags to your profile at once (College alumni group? Check. Hometown pride? Check. Colleague bonding? Check.) and select the tag you want to set as primary before every workout so you can swarm classes with the group of your choice. Don't see a Tag for you or have a special event coming up? Create one and share it directly from the Peloton platform to invite others to join!

Here Now

Taking classes on demand is one of the best things about Peloton—after all, making your own schedule is the ultimate convenience. But you can still feel the energy of other Members through the “Here Now” feature. Located within the Leaderboard, this feature appears to show you the number of riders that are taking the same on-demand class as you at that time. So even if you’re alone at home, stay inspired and sweat it out with other Members from all over the world.

High Fives

Is there anything better than sending some support to someone else—or getting some yourself? Peloton’s high five feature helps you do just that. Whether you’re taking a live class or using the “Here Now” feature during an on-demand class or on your iOS app, you can send a fellow Member a dose of encouragement. How do you high five on Peloton? Simply tap their avatar next to their Leaderboard name. This will send a notification that will pop up on the left side of their touchscreen during class and the same will happen if someone sends you one back! It’s a great way to congratulate someone celebrating a milestone or birthday, support a Member who’s been chasing you all class—and Peloton instructors have been known to sign into classes and give out high fives to keep you motivated!

Following Friends

If you’ve made a special connection with someone by seeing them on the Leaderboard and working out with them often, connect with them and follow their Peloton journey! Within your Peloton profile on the web or in the App, search for Members you want to follow using their Leaderboard name. This will allow you to see their workout history and overall profile as well as classes they’ve taken and when they’re working out whenever you log in to your Peloton equipment or App.

Official Peloton Member Page

Outside of your workouts and your Peloton profile, friendships can be made and good vibes can be shared by way of the Official Peloton Member Page on Facebook. This is the place to go to share your milestones, words of encouragement and helpful tips for other Members. With hundreds of thousands of Members within this closed group, there’s no shortage of Peloton buzz to keep up with and, most importantly, be inspired by. Remember, as this is a closed group, you will need to be permitted access before joining!
