Peloton High Yearbook 2024 -Instructor Senior Superlatives

Peloton Yearbook: Senior Superlatives for Some of Your Favorite Instructors!

Ah, senior superlatives—a delightful, time-honored, high school yearbook tradition that celebrates the quirks and talents of classmates and recognizes them as being the best at…something. But what if we could bring this same energy into the world of Peloton? 

Peloton Yearbook!

This year, The Clip Out has done exactly that.  In honor of graduation season, we’d like to welcome you to Peloton High, where the Instructors are gorgeous, the rizz is flowing and the vibe is bussin’. Cue the 90201 music (aka, hit play below), and let’s see who snags an Instructor Superlative in our version of the 2024 Peloton High Yearbook! 

Best Entertainer

Benny Adami

Sure, there are a lot of entertaining Instructors on the Peloton platform, but only one brings his own confetti.  There’s no other way to say it, Benny Adami is a vibe and he most definitely has that rizz.  He’s the perfect combination of fun and funny and his classes are filled with an infectious energy from start to finish.  With his vibrant personality, Benny has a knack for turning a ride into a celebration.  

Best Hair

Assal Arian

This was a close one!  So many Peloton Instructors, so many gorgeous heads of hair.  But, this year, German strength instructor Assal Arian boasts the best hair of all the Peloton instructors. Her stunning, voluminous raven mane remains flawless through every lift, lunge, and squat, defying the sweat and intensity of her strength workouts. Assal’s hair, always perfectly in place, adds an extra touch of glamor to her classes with her enviable, picture-perfect tresses.

Assal’s gorgeous raven-hued tresses earned her the TCO Best Hair Instructor Superlative for 2024

Class Clown

Andy Speer

Andy Speer is this year’s class clown of Peloton instructors, masterfully blending expertise with entertainment.  Despite his goofy antics, Andy has a deep, genuine knowledge of how the body works and moves, effortlessly switching between being a knowledgeable trainer and a lovable goofball. Whether he’s instructing us to “switcherooskis,” or inviting us on a trip to Squatsville via an ankle car, his unique and entertaining combination of expertise and outright silliness ensures his classes are not only effective but also filled with laughter and joy. Yeah, baby!!!

Most Changed Since Freshman Year

Cody Rigsby

Without question, the Peloton instructor who has transformed the most since his “freshman” year in 2014 is HBIC (Head Boo in Charge), Cody Rigsby. He’s gone from a lanky, 20-something backup dancer with a boy-next-door smile and a penchant for sass to one of Peloton’s most popular instructors. Known for his hot takes and hilarious catchphrases like urging riders to climb hills “with the furor of catching their man cheating” and reminding Members that “it’s just not that deep, Boo,” Cody’s blend of humor and authenticity has solidified his place as a Peloton star.

Best Bromance

  1. Hosky and Ben
  2. Hosky and Matty
  3. Hosky and Erik
  4. Hosky and Cliff
  5. Hosky and….everybody?

Ok, who doesn’t Hosky have chemistry with?  That list is probably shorter.  Jon Hosking has the unique ability to have fun and be cheeky with everyone he interacts with, especially Ben Alldis, Matty Maggiacomo, Cliff Dwenger, and Erik Jager.  All you have to do is take one look at any Instagram Reel of Ben and Jon and Erik and Jon and Erik, Cliff and Jon to see their bond, and take one listen of Matty and Jon’s 2-for-1 Summer Kick-Off Outdoor Run + Walk from June of 2023, and you would swear they’ve been besties for life. Jon and Ben are so close that he even served as Ben’s running coach for the London Marathon and will be standing at Ben’s side as Best Man when Ben marries Leanne Hainsby this month. Jon’s infectious energy and effortless camaraderie is a gift to everyone–fellow Instructors and Members alike.

Cutest Couple

Andy Speer and his Dumbbells

Yes, yes, we swoon over the romance of Ben and Leanne and Andy and Rebecca, and either (or both!) of those couples would have been the obvious choice here. But, there is one Peloton Power Couple that flies under the radar, and that couple is Andy Speer and his dumbbells.  Take one strength class with Andy and his affection is evident, as he fawns over those beautiful bells. Keep taking strength classes with Andy, and it’s clear that this isn’t just a crush(press). More often than not, Andy will gently whisper, “I love you” to one set of weights, and then turn to the rest of his dumbbells to reassure them that he loves them, too.  And, when he’s not using his dumbbells, he ever-so-sweetly ponders whether or not they miss him.  Andy’s love for his dumbbells is nothing short of endearing.  We don’t know how, or when, this relationship started, but we hope it never ends.  Truly, if we can give any relationship advice, it’s this: get yourself someone who looks at you the way that Andy looks at his dumbbells.   

Andy + Dumbbells = Tru Luv 4-Ever

Most Likely to Become a Farmer

Emma Lovewell

Have you seen her gorgeous garden?  Emma’s halfway to farmer town already.  From flowers to veggies, this green-thumbed cycling instructor can frequently be seen tending to her pretty plot throughout the spring and summer, sharing her gardening adventures via Reels on her Instagram page.  All she needs are a few cows, chickens, and maybe some goats, and Farmer Emma will be fully formed. 

Most Likely to Lead a Rebellion

Charlotte Weidenbach

She may be a doctor, but Charlotte Weidenbach is a little bit of a hellraiser, too.  Just take one metal ride–any one!–and report back.  We think you’ll agree, Dr. Charlotte is more than capable of anarchy. We love how Charlotte embraces her edgy side. I mean, just look at this picture.  We’d follow her into battle any day.  

This photo is all the proof we need, tbh

Fave Fashionista (Tie)

  1. Olivia Amato
  2. Rebecca Kennedy

No doubt about it.  These ladies got that drip, y’all.  These fashion-forward fashionistas turn heads in the studio and on the street.  Whether they’re dressing for a themed class, painting the town red, or just out running errands, the world is their runway, and we’re just the people who watch.  Don’t believe us? Scroll their Instagrams and check out their fresh fashion flexes. 

Swag. Drip. On Fleek. Doesn’t matter how you say it, these ladies know how to slay their ‘fits on the regular.

Celebrity Look-A-Like

Denis Morton & Jason Bateman

Come on.  You see it, too, right?  We’re not saying they’re twins, but they absolutely could be brothers. We just need one of them to go on Discovering Your Roots to confirm that there is a DNA link happening here. 

Denis Morton (L), Jason Bateman (R), or is it? They look so much alike, who even knows?

Most Likely to Make You Laugh

Camila Ramon

Camila is hilarious on and off the bike, but where she shines is in her hysterical Reels that she posts to her Instagram.  Yes, she’s gonna make you laugh while she’s kicking your ass on the Bike or the Tread, but when you need some comedy content during your downtime, take a scroll through Camila’s IG account and treat yo’self to some laughs.  Camila is comedy gold, y’all.  

Best Friend

Mariana Fernandez

Are you a PSNY Instructor with an event on the calendar?  Then Mariana has already RSVP’d and is showing up to support you.  Mariana is the Peloton ride-or-die friend, the friend who is always there, the friend who is cheering you on.  Mariana is that friend, the one we all want in our corner.  Whether it’s a baby shower, a book tour stop, or running a 5k with a friend and casually encouraging her along the way, it’s not lost on us how much Mariana supports her fellow Instructors.  She shows up consistently, over and over and over again, for her friends and we LOVE it.  And we love her for it.  This world needs more Marianas. 

Best Person to be Stranded on a Desert Island With (tie)

  1. Logan Aldridge
  2. Susie Chan

Anyone who can run 135 miles through Death Valley is someone we definitely want on our side on a desert island, and that someone is Susie Chan.  The Badwater 135 is the most demanding and extreme running race on the planet.  And, Logan, aside from being exceptionally resourceful, also happens to have been named the Fittest One-Armed Man On Earth.  We have a feeling that a desert island would be a walk in the park for either of these Instructors.  So, yeah…we’ll take either, or both, any day of the week.

Susie Chan, just running through Death Valley like the badass she is.

Best Storyteller

Alex Karwoski

Looking for a touching story about the Karwoski kids at Christmastime?  Alex K.’s got you.  How about a story about Alex and his brother and their shenanigans when they were growing up? Yep, he’s got one of those, too.  Not only does Alex Karwoski love rowing, but he also loves telling stories about his childhood.  Take just about any Row class with him and you’re almost guaranteed to be treated to a heartwarming, and usually funny, story about what it was like growing up Karwoski.  Alex is so good at weaving these stories together, you often forget how hard you’re working and, before you know it, the story is over and so is the class. 

Life of the Party

DJJM and Jess King

Live. DJ. Rides.  I’m not even sure we need to elaborate on that since every single one is a party!  DJJM brings the tunes (and sometimes his fan), Jess brings the coaching (and sometimes choreography), and they both bring the fun.  Live DJ Rides with Jess and DJJM are a lot of things, but the thing they aren’t is boring.

Most Likely to be on a Reality Show

Matty Maggiacomo

Matty has made no secret of his love for Peacock’s hit show The Traitors, openly urging the producers to consider him when casting Season 3.  We don’t know if they happen to be Clip Out listeners/readers, but just in case they are, we’re hopping on the campaign train.  Matty would be an excellent Faithful, but we think he’d be an even better Traitor.

Best Facial Expressions

Bradley Rose

Much like Jim Carrey, Bradley seems to have a face made of putty.  With expressive features and a quick wit, he’s able to contort his features into just about any look.  Don’t believe us?  He has miles and miles of Instagram Reels to prove it. 

One of Bradley’s many (many, many, many) facial expressions

Best Low-Key Thirst Trap–Tie

  1. Adrian Williams
  2. Erik Jager

We could fill the entire alphabet with exhibits of Adrian and Erik’s low-key thirst trap content.  Adrian Maurice Williams and Erik Jager know exactly what they’re doing, y’all, and we’re not mad about it.

Best Besties

Ash Pryor & Katie Wang

These two Row instructors became instant besties when they were hired by Peloton in 2022.  Their Instagram content is adorable, but their friendship is even better.  Ash and Katie clearly have each other’s backs and we love to see it. 

Best Dad Jokes

Ross Rayburn 

This was a close one, and the case certainly could have been made for Andy Speer to get a third mention in this year’s list.  However, no one delivers a Dad joke quite like Ross Rayburn. Ross departs the Peloton platform in a few short weeks, and he’ll be taking his Dad jokes with him.  But, until then, don’t sleep on Ross’s Yoga classes (even if you do fall asleep to his Meditation classes).  His technical knowledge of Yoga is incredible, but it’s his superb Dad joke energy that earned him this Instructor Superlative.

Best Person to Take Home to Mom

  1. Kristin McGee
  2. Matt Wilpers
  3. Rad Lopez
  4. Anna Greenberg 

We couldn’t possibly narrow this category down to just one Instructor when these four exude that “take me home to mom” energy.  Kristin, Matt and Anna are sweet as pie and wholesome as homemade bread.  And, Rad loves his mom so much, he talks about her in a lot of his classes.  Introducing him to yours is a no-brainer.  Momma would approve of all of them.

 

We know, we know…your favorite instructor might not have made the list.  But, with 58 Instructors, we couldn’t possibly give a superlative to everyone–you’d be here forever reading that article!  Plus, we need to save a few for next year, yo. If yours didn’t make the list, give a superlative to your favorite Instructor in the comments and don’t forget to check back next year for the 2025 edition of Peloton High!
