Faces of Fitness Chicago Just Got Even Better With Zacharias Confirmed as a Day 1 Headliner

The guesswork is officially over. Faces of Fitness Chicago 2026 now has its Day 1 headliner confirmed: Zacharias Niedzwiecki is officially listed on the festival’s headliner page at facesoffitnesschicago.com. The Peloton yoga and strength instructor had been widely expected to return, and his placement on Saturday, July 25 is now locked in. The full festival runs July 25 and 26 in Chicago’s River North neighborhood.

As The Clip Out first covered when the broader lineup was announced, Faces of Fitness Chicago has assembled one of the strongest Peloton instructor clusters the event has seen.

What Zacharias Will Lead at Faces of Fitness Chicago

Zacharias will guide attendees through a session titled “Flow State: Animal Yoga Flow,” an advanced heated power vinyasa built around continuous, intense movement. The class is designed to push endurance while delivering a strong post-workout response.

It reflects the same technically grounded, breath-forward approach that has defined his work on the Peloton platform since he joined in late 2025. If you have taken any of his classes, including his premiere strength class that debuted in January 2026, you know exactly what kind of intensity and intentionality he brings.

This is not his first time headlining either. Zacharias is a four-time headliner at Faces of Fitness Chicago, making him one of the most consistent presences the festival has had since its debut. That kind of track record says everything about the connection he has built with this event and its community.

The Full Peloton Presence Across Both Days

Zacharias is not the only Peloton instructor on the 2026 roster. Adrian Williams, Katie Wang, and Jess Sims are all confirmed for Day 2 on Sunday, July 26, where they will lead a live bodyweight strength class together with celebrity DJ Austin Millz performing during the session.

Having Zacharias anchor Day 1 and three additional Peloton instructors close out Day 2 makes Faces of Fitness Chicago feel like a genuine Peloton community moment this summer. If you have been looking for a reason to finally attend, this is it.
