Yeah, yeah… lots of us were ready for some romance this week. But whether you’re single, searching, or (as Cody would say) happily Boo-ed up, there’s no forgetting the importance of the ladies in our life. That might mean your spouse, girlfriend, BFF, work wife, or Tunde Oyeneyin, but you can’t deny that Galentine’s Day is worth some celebration of its own. And the Peloton ladies did their own celebrating, with a series of four two-for-one workouts (that’s like eight workouts total, kind of!) led by pairs of Peloton’s most famous female friends.

Ride (run, row, and flow) along with us for the reviews, and decide which of these you want to carry into your weekend!

30 min Two For One Walk + Run with Joslyn and Susie

Our fearless leader Crystal O’Keefe tells us:

No surprise here, I LOVE Joslyn and Susie and when I saw a two-for-one walk + run, I was in.  Sadly, I was not able to take it live, as the platform was experiencing outages that day.  After 15 minutes, I gave up. But, I was not to be deterred and took the class on demand the next day.  I loved hearing the story of how Joslyn and Susie met and became friends. I especially loved that they had NOT known each other for years, but instead clicked instantly once they both started working at Peloton.  Who doesn’t love a good work bestie?  The duo was wearing a matchy set of Peloton clothes and looked gorgeous as always.  But the magic of this class was the friendship banter AND the amazing playlist.  When your class starts with “Push It” and then transitions into “Raise Your Glass”, it’s gonna be lit.  And it was.  Since it was a walk + run, you can easily make this class whatever you need it to be for your training needs.  Perfect for a day you need a pick-me-up! 

30 min Two For One Yoga Conditioning with Kirra and Mariana

Okay, I’ll admit it- until last weekend I’d never taken a yoga conditioning class, and I only took one last weekend because I felt like a live class and that one fit my time slot- and the second I realized Kristen McGee expected me to pick up a WEIGHT while doing bird-dogs, I asked why on earth I’d decided to do this. But even before doing that, I’d committed to take this one, because… well, for another dumb reason, which was that the last two-for-one yoga class I took was a total blast. But heading in, I was dreading it just a bit, because I was sore from lifting and because Kirra normally completely kicks my ass. (I do have a soft spot for Mariana, because I’m trying to learn Spanish via Peloton classes.)

Honestly, I never would have thought to put these two together as a teaching team- but it WORKED. Along with Nico Sarani, they started at Peloton together, and they’ve clearly been close ever since.  Like past yoga two-for-ones, they had perfectly planned the class to bounce back and forth between leaders, and it was easy to tell they were having fun both teaching and following one another.

30 min Groove Two For One Ride with Emma and Leeanne

Writer Chris Perone tells us:

Peloton’s Leanne Haisnby made a special guest appearance at Peloton’s New York studio to join Emma Lovewell on Tuesday night for a wonderful live, in studio, 30-minute Two For One Groove Ride. The class was packed with Peloton members, and included fellow instructor, Denis Morton. 

Leanne and Emma. decked out in color coordinated Brittany Allen* outfits, teamed up to celebrate Galentine’s Day. What is Galentine’s Day, you might be wondering? It typically falls on February 13 (day before Valentine’s day)  and is a day for women to celebrate their friendships with their female friends. Emma let the audience know that the idea for Galentine’s Day was introduced by Amy Poehler’s character Leslie Knope on the television show Parks and Recreation.

Leanne and Emma were a perfect pairing for this two for one ride. Their movements on the bike were perfectly choreographed to the playlist that included great re-mixes of Cyndi Lauper and Dua Lipa tracks.

Cross-Atlantic Besties?

The absolute highlight of the ride for me was seeing Emma and Leanne’s friendship shine during the remix of Spice Girls “Wannabe” We learned that Emma and Leanne are partial toward Sporty Spice. Off camera, Denis admitted that Scary Spice was more of his type. We also learned that the Groove ride team will officially include Denis, Mila Lazar (German language) and Camila Ramon (Spanish language).   

This ride has been taken over 40,000 times so far. I hadn’t done many Groove rides before, but I’ll be sure to be on the lookout for them in the future.
