Ben Alldis Returns to Peloton: Everything You Need to Know

Ben Alldis returns to Peloton on March 6, 2026, ending a paternity leave that began when he and wife Leanne Hainsby-Alldis welcomed son Ace Eddie Alldis on December 10, 2025. The UK-based instructor is back on the live schedule, with his first classes of the new year marking his return to the bike as a new father. His fans in Ben’s Army will be thrilled!

The couple had announced Ace’s arrival on Instagram, writing that their “beautiful baby boy” had arrived, and that they were “more in love than we ever could have imagined.” For Ben and Leanne, who married in 2024 after getting engaged in 2021, the birth marked the end of a long and at times difficult road to parenthood. Leanne had been open about her breast cancer diagnosis in 2022, her treatment, and the uncertainty it cast over their hopes for a family. Ace’s arrival carried real weight.

Ben Returns, But Leanne’s Timeline Looks Different

Ben returns ahead of Leanne for reasons rooted in UK employment law. In the UK, statutory maternity leave can run up to 52 weeks, and Leanne is entitled to take considerably more time than her US-based counterparts. Paternity leave in the UK, by contrast, is far shorter as a statutory baseline. Ben’s roughly three-month leave puts him back on the schedule while Leanne remains at home with Ace for the months ahead.

It’s a dynamic familiar to many UK working parents: one partner returns while the other continues on leave, navigating the early months of parenthood on an offset schedule.

Family Time in Tenerife Before Ben Alldis Returns to the Studio

Before his comeback, the family took a trip to Tenerife, a final stretch of time together before Ben’s schedule picked back up. The Canary Islands are a popular choice for UK families seeking winter warmth, and for a couple with a newborn, a low-key getaway makes practical sense.

What to Expect Now That Ben Alldis Returns

Ben has been part of the Peloton instructor roster since 2018, building a following around structured, interval-driven cycling classes and a coaching approach grounded in his fitness and high-performance background. Members who prefer clear intent behind the work tend to gravitate toward his classes.

His March 6 class will be available live and on-demand, and he has a full schedule of new content to follow. As for Leanne, her return date has not been confirmed, but given the UK’s generous maternity provisions, members shouldn’t expect her back on the schedule for some time yet.
