Create Meaningful Belonging

Setting standards with game-changing partnerships

Listening to customer feedback, Peloton sought out the most-requested artist on their platform and announced a multi-year partnership with Beyoncé Knowles. The collaborative relationship will positively impact the community, giving students at historically Black colleges and universities free app access. “Beyoncé’s commitment to empowerment and artistic expression is an inspiration to the entire Peloton community,” Riley said.

It is a privilege to be able to work closely with her and her extraordinary team to broaden access to our platform and collaborate on incredible offerings we think our members will love.

Run at the Challenge

Connecting users through passion and talent

At Peloton, Rustagi and his team are passionately focused on innovation. Making that innovation a success, he said, requires “adding value to three main areas: tech, content and accessibility.” For software engineers, a key component to the process is adding features to the social interaction software so the growing member-base can more easily and enjoyably connect with one another.

We will elevate the bar for studio-style workouts and the connected fitness industry that we pioneered back in 2012.
