Peloton HYROX NYC: 4 Instructors Crushed Opening Weekend

Andy Speer, Robin Arzon, Marcel Dinkins, and Logan Aldridge Took to the Race Floor as 50,000 Competitors Descend on New York

Peloton HYROX NYC drew four of the platform's instructors to the competition floor during the first weekend of racing, as Andy Speer, Robin Arzon, Marcel Dinkins, and Logan Aldridge each stepped up to compete. The two-week event brought 50,000 total competitors through New York City before it wrapped up.

The event ran across two weekends at Pier 76 in Hudson River Park. Peloton Studios documented the action live on its Instagram Stories, cheering on each instructor in real time. Peloton instructor Mariana Fernandez was also on-site, supporting competitors from the sidelines.

Andy Speer Competes at Peloton HYROX NYC

Andy Speer competed in the PRO division at Peloton HYROX NYC, marking his first solo HYROX race. Peloton Studios captured him on the Concept2 rowing machine mid-race and posted a celebration shot of him jumping on the competition floor with the caption "Hello HYROX NYC! We are so back." Speer tagged HYROX America in his own posts throughout the weekend.

Speer has competed in HYROX previously, including in the Doubles format alongside fellow Peloton instructor Adrian Williams. His Peloton HYROX NYC appearance marked a step up to solo competition in the PRO division, carrying real weight for members who have trained alongside him through the platform's dedicated HYROX prep content.

Robin Arzon Starts Strong in the Individual Field

Robin Arzon competed in the PRO division at Peloton HYROX NYC, bringing her total HYROX race count to seven. Footage from Peloton Studios showed her working through functional stations including a ski erg, with the caption "starting STRONGGG" posted to its Stories as the race unfolded. Arzon competed in Peloton gear throughout.

Arzon is Peloton's Vice President of Fitness Programming and one of the most experienced HYROX competitors among the instructor roster. Her seven-race history in the PRO division reflects the same competitive drive she brings to the platform's running and strength content.

Marcel Dinkins Crosses the Finish Line

Marcel Dinkins competed in the Individual category at Peloton HYROX NYC, her third HYROX race overall. Race floor footage showed her pushing through a rope sled drag and rowing on a Concept2. Peloton Studios cheered her on with "You DO got it" during the race.

Dinkins shared her own post-race message: "This sense of victory is at the end of the hard work you put in." The words landed with clear weight after her third HYROX finish on the Peloton HYROX NYC course.

Logan Aldridge and Michael Ortiz Race Together

Logan Aldridge competed in the Doubles Men 30-34 category at Peloton HYROX NYC, pairing with Michael Ortiz to finish in 1:29:14. It was Ortiz's first HYROX competition. Aldridge posted about the experience: "Epic way to kickoff two weeks of 50,000 competitors here in NYC. Shoutout to Michael Ortiz for crushing his first race. We don't quit."

It was Aldridge's second HYROX race overall. He competed at HYROX New York 2025 in the Adaptive Men division, finishing fifth with a time of 1:37:32. His return to the Peloton HYROX NYC course in 2026 came with a new partner, a new division, and a nearly eight-minute improvement on his previous time.

Training for Peloton HYROX NYC and Beyond

The race floor was not the only place Peloton showed up at HYROX New York. Alongside the competition, Peloton instructors taught live classes at Pier 76 as part of HYROX Community Day, bringing free workouts to the waterfront during the Week of Fitness between race weekends. The Clip Out covered the full details of the Peloton HYROX community workouts at Pier 76 ahead of the event.

Peloton also expanded its on-platform HYROX programming in the lead-up to the event, adding new class types across running, strength, yoga, and stretching timed to align with the competition weekend. The Clip Out covered the full slate of new Peloton HYROX classes that landed on the schedule ahead of HYROX New York.

Peloton is HYROX's official digital training partner, and the program has grown steadily since it launched. The Clip Out has tracked the full build, from the original Peloton and HYROX partnership announcement to the more recent expansion where the Peloton HYROX program added dedicated gym workouts to its training lineup.

For members training toward a future race, the full Peloton HYROX class collection is available on the platform now, covering everything from endurance runs and rowing to functional strength work built around the eight race stations.

The two-week Peloton HYROX NYC event has now wrapped, closing out competition at Pier 76 that brought 50,000 competitors through New York City.
