Peloton and Halle Berry’s Respin Health Address the Unique Fitness Needs of Women Navigating Menopause With First-of-its-Kind Weighted-Vest Strength, Jump Training Content and More

As part of their continued partnership to advance the conversation around women's health during perimenopause and menopause, Peloton, the global leader in connected fitness and Respin Health, a platform for holistic menopause care, launched today a new collection of fitness content tailored for women navigating menopause. The programming was influenced by the results of a targeted 60-day Peloton and Respin multi-component program (P.R.E.S.S. Study) focused on women’s health during perimenopause and menopause. This program included a combination of online community, coaching sessions, educational resources and scalable fitness programming. It found that 84% of participants reported some improvement to their menopause symptoms after 60-days of varied program engagement (based on a self-reported survey of 267 participants).

"The results of the P.R.E.S.S. Study are a powerful testament to the fact that exercise is a critical tool for symptom relief during menopause,” said Dr. Elizabeth Knight, the study's principal investigator, a women's health researcher and integrative health specialist, who oversaw the study along with a team of Respin Health doctors and coaches. Dr. Knight also lent her expertise and contributed to the development of the new programming. “Our findings reinforce that when we empower women with accessible fitness programming, coaching and community support, we can meaningfully improve their quality of life during this pivotal life stage."

The diverse offerings across Meditation, Strength and Cardio provide well-rounded cross-training programming to Members navigating this life stage. Included in the new additions to the Peloton x Respin Menopause Health Collection are:

• The Premiere of Jump Training: Jump Training is a vital tool to help improve balance, maintain power, strength and metabolism.

• Special Meditation Class: The benefits of meditation range from reducing stress and anxiety by calming the nervous system to enhancing physical performance. 

• Expanded Offerings in Weighted Vest Training: across Bodyweight Strength, Low Impact Cardio and Standing Core classes, with form cues and guidance provided for how to use a weighted vest correctly. 

• Low impact Classes Across Cardio and Strength: offer high-intensity movements that build strength while also keeping injury prevention and bone health in mind. 

“Menopause doesn’t mean you have to lose yourself or lower your expectations for your health,” said Peloton Instructor Rebecca Kennedy. “Our goal with this programming is to help women navigate this transition with knowledge, strength and confidence. When you understand what’s happening in your body, you can train smarter and support your long-term health to continue to feel strong, capable and empowered in every stage of life.”
