Jess King Is Not Slowing Down: Midlife Strength Advice and What’s Next for On the Record

Jess King has never been just one thing. She is a dancer, a DJ, a life coach, a mother, and a wellness advocate, and lately she is adding even more to that list. Between sharing her midlife strength framework with Flow Space and teasing the next chapter of her On the Record platform, King is making it clear that her influence extends well beyond the Peloton studio.

What Jess King Told Flow Space About Midlife Strength

In a feature published April 10, 2026, Flow Space sat down with Jess King to talk about how her approach to fitness has shifted now that she is 40 and raising two toddlers. King, who leads Bike and Tread classes on Peloton and serves as Chief Wellness Ambassador for Culturelle, told the publication that her focus has moved toward what she calls the “bookends” of her routine: the warm-up, recovery, nutrition, and intentional rest that surround the workout itself.

She shared three core tips for building strength in midlife.

1. Regulate Your Nervous System

King’s first priority is nervous system regulation, and her go-to method is breathwork. “First and foremost, regulate your nervous system,” she told Flow Space. She recommends deep, diaphragmatic breathing as often as possible, noting that it also provides the added benefit of massaging a key lymph gland located at the center of the diaphragm.

2. Support Your Gut Health

King’s second tip centers on the gut-body connection. As Culturelle’s Chief Wellness Ambassador, she is a committed daily probiotic user and told Flow Space the impact is significant. “Taking care of your second brain, your microbiome, is going to influence your digestion, your mood swings, your skin, your brain health, your gut health,” she said. She described the habit as simple but powerful. For more context on how that ambassador role has crossed into the Peloton studio, see The Clip Out’s coverage of sponsored Peloton classes.

3. Prioritize Consistency Over Intensity

The third tip may be the most important for long-term results. Jess King told Flow Space that consistency matters more to her now than lifting heavy or going hard. A sustainable daily practice, she explained, will outperform short bursts of high-intensity effort over time. She is focused on building habits that will carry throughout the rest of her life, not just for a season.

Recovery is also central to her current approach. King described her wind-down routine as intentional slow breathing, hot baths, staying hydrated, and eating balanced meals, all designed to help her feel restored and ready to repeat the cycle the following day.

On the Record Is Evolving Into Something New

Jess King’s off-platform work is also expanding. On April 14, she used her Instagram account (@jessking) to tease the next evolution of her On the Record platform (@ontherecordhq). The show is designed to break away from the traditional podcast format, and King has been clear it will follow no set formula or tagline.

The goal, according to her tease, is to amplify friends, experts, and storytellers from a wide range of backgrounds, with a specific focus on voices that often go unheard. In true King fashion, she kept the announcement candid, joking that she can be a “complete brat” when things are not fun, and promising that On the Record will be raw and real as a result.

This is not King’s first move in the content space. She originally launched On the Record in partnership with Kargo and Fabrik in June 2024, announcing the platform at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. At the time, she described it as a space to bring diverse creators, women, Latinas, and the queer community a platform to be seen and heard. The April 14 tease signals that the platform is now moving into a new format with a show component, building on the foundation she established nearly two years ago. The Clip Out covered that original launch in detail: Jess King Announces On the Record Partnership with Kargo and Fabrik.

Jess King Keeps Expanding Her Reach

King’s dual announcements reflect a broader pattern among Peloton instructors who are building platforms beyond their classes. Robin Arzón has Project Swagger, Cody Rigsby launched Tactful Pettiness, and King’s On the Record continues to grow alongside her work inside the Peloton ecosystem.

What sets King apart is how directly her outside work connects to the themes she brings to her Peloton classes: movement, mindfulness, authenticity, and community. Her midlife strength advice is not a departure from her instructor identity. It is an extension of it, delivered to a wider audience through a trusted wellness publication and her own growing platform.

For anyone who has taken a Jess King class and felt like she was speaking directly to them, the message from this week is simple: she is just getting started.
