Peloton Intention Setting Walk Returns for 3rd Year

Kirsten Ferguson brings back her summer outdoor walking series for a third consecutive year.

Peloton’s Intention Setting Walk is back for its third consecutive summer, with instructor Kirsten Ferguson leading a new outdoor class built around mindset, movement, and self-reflection. The series has run every June, July, and August since 2024, and this year’s installment keeps that tradition going with a fresh outdoor session.

What the New Intention Setting Walk Covers

This installment of the Intention Setting Walk runs 30 minutes and was filmed outdoors, a shift that gives the class a different energy than its studio-based predecessors. Ferguson shares a personal intention at the start of the walk, then builds a series of affirmations around it, encouraging members to carry that same focus through each step. The approach blends light movement with mental clarity, making it accessible to walkers at any pace or fitness level.

One line from the class sets the tone for the full session: “I owe it to myself to see how good it’s gonna get.” It’s a fitting anchor for a class built around forward motion, both literal and otherwise.

Part of a Growing Walking Collection

The new class joins Peloton’s Intention Setting Walks collection, which now includes 25 classes under the Walking category. Ferguson has anchored the series since its debut, and the collection has steadily expanded each year as members have continued to use it for low-impact movement paired with mindset work. Members can browse the full lineup and find Ferguson’s other walking classes in the on demand library.

Why an Outdoor Intention Setting Walk Stands Out

Most of Ferguson’s walking classes have been filmed in studio settings, so this outdoor session marks a notable change of scenery for the series. Shooting outside lets the visuals carry some of the same energy Ferguson brings to her affirmations, with movement and setting working together instead of one carrying the whole class. For members who already mix indoor Peloton workouts with outdoor activity during the summer months, an outdoor Intention Setting Walk offers a way to keep that connection to the platform without sacrificing time outside.

That balance between indoor consistency and outdoor freedom is a common summer challenge for Peloton members, one Dr. Jenn Mann addressed in detail on The Clip Out, including practical ways to stay connected to the platform while spending more time outside.

A Three Year Tradition With Kirsten Ferguson

Ferguson has now released an Intention Setting Walk every summer since 2024, building a recognizable rhythm members can plan around. The consistency has turned the series into something of a seasonal marker on Peloton’s Walking schedule, arriving each year as the weather warms. With this year’s outdoor edition, Ferguson extends that pattern while giving longtime followers of the Intention Setting Walk a new setting to experience it in.

A Growing Lane for Mindful Walking

Peloton’s outdoor walking library has expanded steadily, and Ferguson has become one of the instructors most associated with walks that blend movement and mindset. Her intention setting format stands apart in that library for members who want something more meditative than motivational, a contrast to the higher energy approach found in many other walking and running classes.

For members who haven’t tried Ferguson’s Intention Setting Walk yet, this outdoor edition is a solid entry point. Keep an eye on her Instagram at @iamkirstenferguson for updates on the full season rollout, and check the Outdoor section of the Peloton app for new classes as they drop.
