Why You Loved Them!
Sometimes it’s hard to pick just one favorite (clear by the number of bookmarked classes we have to “take later”), but these reviews make it easy! Here’s what the TCO Community had to say about their favorite Peloton classes from the last week.
1. Favorite Mother’s Day Walk + Run
05/11/26 30-Minute Mother’s Day Walk + Run with Selena Samuela
“Selena’s 30-minute Mother’s Day walk plus run on Sunday at 2:00 because it was her first treadmill class back after maternity leave and I was live in the studio! It was the best Mother’s Day ever to be live in the studio for her first treadmill class back AND I also got to do a live walk with Jess King which was so much fun AND I met Tunde and Mariana while I was there. Epic Mother’s Day!”
— Shandra Milroy
What a way to celebrate Mother’s Day! Shandra’s nomination captures everything that makes the Peloton community so special: showing up for an instructor’s milestone moment, being present in the studio, and soaking in every bit of the experience. Selena’s return to the tread after maternity leave was clearly a celebration for everyone in the room, and for anyone who tuned in from home. If you missed it, this TCO Top 5 favorite Peloton class is worth finding on demand.
2. Favorite Mother’s Day Ride
05/10/26 Mother’s Day Ride with Christine D’Ercole
“Christine’s Mother’s Day ride from 5/10/26! She’s always great, motivational! But it was a tough ride. I don’t think I could ever stack this one with any other ride.”
— Kim Danek
Christine D’Ercole has a gift for making hard work feel meaningful, and her Mother’s Day ride apparently delivered on both counts. Kim’s instinct to skip a stack afterward speaks volumes: this class hit hard enough to stand alone. Christine is always motivational, and when she turns up the intensity on a special occasion ride, you know you are in for something memorable. Consider this your permission to do nothing else after. You earned it.
3. Favorite Live DJ Ride
5/7/26 Live DJ TOKiMONSTA Ride with Emma Lovewell
“Emma’s 30 minute Live DJ Tokimonsta Ride was both inspirational and exhilarating! Toki shared her story which was very inspiring and Emma is so knowledgeable! The ride flew by!”
— Debra Mericantante Anzalone
TOKiMONSTA is one of the most compelling artists Peloton has featured in its Live DJ series, and pairing her with Emma Lovewell made for a class that was more than just a workout. TOKiMONSTA’s story of recovering from a rare brain disease that temporarily took away her ability to process music and then returning to create some of the most intricate electronic sounds in the genre is the kind of thing that puts your own hard intervals in perspective. Emma’s knowledge of her guest shines through in classes like this. If you love a ride with depth and a driving beat, this one deserves a spot in your queue.
4. Favorite Long Run
150-Minute Long Run (Race Your Pace Program) with Susie Chan
“The 150 minute long run from the new marathon program. I put it in my stack for a half marathon last week and it was perfect. It was Susie and two other instructors. I personally like with Susie is talking with the music. There was a lot of talking and chitchatting in the middle but still it’s good when you are a slower runner and it’s really good to motivate me. I also liked her 60 minute long run. I forgot the date but it’s in the outdoor series.”
— Kirsten Cascino Lavin
Two and a half hours on the tread is no small thing, and Susie Chan along with Jeffrey McEachern and Erik Jager make it feel like a run with friends rather than a solo endurance slog. Kirsten’s point about the conversation and connection in the middle of the class is exactly what longer runs need: something to carry you through the miles when your legs want to quit. Whether you are training for a half marathon, a full, or just want to see what you are made of, this TCO Top 5 pick from the Peloton marathon program is worth a look.
5. The Unstackable: Favorite Intervals Run
Sometimes we want a class that leaves us in a puddle and washes all hope of a stack of extra classes away with it. We call those classes Unstackable and we love hearing about our listeners’ Unstackable experiences.
5/9/26 60-Minute Intervals Run with Becs Gentry
“My ‘Unstackable Class’ for the last week is Becs’ 60 Minute Intervals Run from 5/9/26. Might be the hardest class I’ve ever taken. Intervals on incline with jogging recoveries (I had to walk half of them) had me at my absolute limit! Be ready for a CHALLENGE when you take this class.”
— Larry Lewis
Becs Gentry has a reputation for building runners who can handle anything, and this 60-minute intervals run on incline apparently lives up to every bit of that. Larry’s honesty about walking half the recoveries is not a confession of failure, it is a badge of honor. When a TCO Top 5 Unstackable Peloton class pushes a seasoned member to their absolute limit, you know it belongs in this slot. If you love a good challenge on the tread, consider this your warning label and your invitation all at once.
Thank you!
Thank you to all of our listeners for sharing your recommendations and enthusiasm. Keep the nominations coming, and maybe your favorite will make the list next week!
