Madonna Confessions Artist Series Brings 3 New Classes

Peloton celebrates Confessions II with a new lineup of live and on-demand classes, including a rare cross-studio pairing.

The Madonna Confessions Artist Series arrives on Peloton Friday, July 17, timed to the release of Madonna’s Confessions II. The three-class lineup spans running and cycling, and one class pairs instructors from two different studios in a format Peloton rarely uses.

Confessions II, Madonna’s fifteenth studio album, dropped July 3 on Warner Records as a sequel to her 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor. She reunited with original collaborator Stuart Price to make it, and the record debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking her best streaming week ever and her tenth chart-topping album in the United States.

Madonna Confessions Artist Series Class Schedule

Here is the full lineup for the Madonna Confessions Artist Series, launching Friday, July 17:

• 30 min Madonna Confessions Run (DE) – Jeffrey · Running – Friday, July 17 @ 7:00 AM BST / 8:00 AM CEST
• 30 min Madonna Confessions Two For One Run – Hannah Frankson & Robin Arzón · Running – Friday, July 17 @ 1:00 PM ET / 6:00 PM BST
• 30 min Live DJ Ride: Madonna Confessions – Jess King · Cycling – Friday, July 17 @ 5:30 PM ET / 7:30 AM AEST (Saturday)

The Two For One Run stands out for more than its format. Robin Arzón normally teaches out of Peloton Studios New York, but for this class she is joining Hannah Frankson from Peloton Studios London instead. Cross-studio pairings like this are uncommon, and it gives this particular stop on the Madonna Confessions Artist Series a bit of extra novelty for members who track where their favorite instructors are teaching from.

The Album Behind the Series

Confessions II leans into the same disco and house foundation that made Confessions on a Dance Floor a defining Madonna era, which explains why Peloton chose running and cycling, both formats built for sustained tempo, to carry the new classes. The album pulls in collaborators including Sabrina Carpenter, Martin Garrix, and Stromae, and its Billboard 200 debut made Madonna the first act with a No. 1 album in the 2020s who also topped the chart in three prior decades.

That kind of chart run tends to translate into strong Peloton programming beyond a single Artist Series drop. Expect instructors to keep pulling Confessions II tracks into regular class playlists well past the July 17 launch.

Peloton’s Existing Madonna Collection

This is not Peloton’s first run at Madonna. The Madonna Collection already lives in the library as a 25-class Cross Training collection featuring Matty Maggiacomo, Rebecca Kennedy, and Robin Arzón, among others. The oldest class in the Madonna Collection is Ross Rayburn’s 45-minute Madonna Yoga Flow, which dates back to June 27, 2019. Matty Maggiacomo’s 30-minute Madonna Run and Robin Arzón’s 30-minute Madonna Ride followed just a day later, with Rebecca Kennedy’s Madonna Run rounding out that original run on June 30, 2019.

Peloton took a similar approach with its second Bon Jovi Artist Series earlier this month, building new classes on top of a catalog that had already proven durable with members. The Madonna Collection has had six years to build that same kind of staying power, so it makes sense Peloton is returning to the artist with a fresh Artist Series rather than starting from scratch.

Between the original Madonna Collection and this new Artist Series, members now have two distinct eras of Madonna’s catalog to train to. Which class are you adding to your stack first?
