Peloton’s Boy Band Week Closes with a Countdown 

A week of Artist Series drops and a mixtape collection closes out with two live hits-driven classes on the Tread and Bike.

Boy Band Week on Peloton comes to a close this Friday, August 14, and it’s going out with a bang. Two live classes on the Tread and Bike wrap up a week that’s had members singing along since Monday, and Friday’s finale is shaping up to be the perfect way to send it off.

Monday belonged to Jodeci, whose Artist Series brought three classes of pure ‘90s R&B nostalgia. Tuesday upped the ante with *NSYNC, six classes strong and spanning everything from running to cycling. By Wednesday, Peloton went even bigger with the Boy Band Mixtape Classes, eleven classes released across US, Spanish, and German markets and pulling from a whole playlist of boy band anthems instead of just one group. Thursday closed out the artist-specific run with the Backstreet Boys Artist Series, adding eight more classes to the week’s lineup.

That’s four separate releases and around 30 classes across four days, all feeding into the same badge challenge, which runs through August 15 and rewards members for completing three, five, or ten tagged classes during the window.

The Boy Band Challenge surprised us by getting bigger each day since it was first announced!

Boy Band Week’s Fun Finale

Friday’s finale takes a different shape. Rather than another Artist Series drop, Jon leads a 30 minute Boy Band Countdown Run at 7:30 PM BST / 2:30 PM ET, and Cody follows with a 30 minute Boy Band Countdown Ride at 5:30 PM ET / 7:30 AM AEST +1. Both are live, and Peloton has billed the playlist as hits members can’t get enough of, giving the week a live send-off rather than letting it fade out on demand.

Taken together, this week gave members a genuinely varied lineup: four different artists, a genre-spanning mixtape collection, and a live capstone to close it out. For members who’ve been chasing the badge, Friday’s classes are the last shot to close the gap before the window shuts.

We’d love to hear how you’re spending Friday’s finale, are you lacing up for the Countdown Run with Jon, hopping on the bike with Cody, or doing both? And once the confetti settles, tell us which classes were your favorites this week and which artist you’re hoping shows up if Boy Band Week makes a comeback.
