April Fools Day—love it or hate it, there’s no escaping the pranks, and this year, Peloton instructors were in full form, taking their April Fools shenanigans to legendary levels. From expertly crafted emails to hilarious personas, they had us all questioning reality (and maybe our fitness routines). If you missed the fun, don’t worry—We are here to break it all down. Oh, and I have to ask…did you fall for any of these April Fools antics?

Face Yoga…Wait, Is This Real? 

The centerpiece of this year’s Peloton pranks was the announcement of “Face Yoga.” Yep, you read that right. Imagine instructors pulling exaggerated, meme-worthy facial expressions while modeling what I can only describe as wholehearted commitment to the joke. Honestly? For a second, I almost believed it! Doesn’t “Face Yoga” sound like something Peloton could genuinely whip up for us? They even dropped a teaser video featuring the instructors with barely any dialogue—leaving viewers in the ultimate April Fools guessing game.

Olivia’s Prank Parade 

Olivia easily claimed the title of ultimate prankster, pulling off her mischief with unmatched flair. Her mission? Pure chaos. Her tools of choice? Crafty emails and elaborate disguises that could rival even Heidi Klum’s best creations. Here’s a glimpse at some of her most hilariously devious antics:

• Matt Wilpers’ Tax Tutorial: Olivia hijacked the team emails and slyly pitched the idea of Matt leading a tax prep class as part of Peloton’s interactive wellness initiative. Taxes + Peloton? Talk about a workout for your brain. Honestly, Matt’s good-natured response made it tough to tell if he was in on the joke or not! 
• Tunde vs. the Arm Wrestling Champion: Olivia’s alter ego, “Jen,” reached out to Tunde with a strange yet “exciting” opportunity to arm wrestle a world champion. Tunde’s one-word response (“Huh?!”) sums up the confusion perfectly. I mean, wouldn’t you hesitate too? 
• Callie’s Kids Bop Class: Olivia asked Callie to cover an impromptu “Kids Bop” class, a move that would require Callie to scramble for a babysitter for her baby, Cash. The best part? Callie reached out to confirm the request with the real Jen from HQ, and Jen played right along. Now that’s dedication to a prank!
• Adrian and His Emotional Laps: Adrian got his  April Fools moment when Olivia suggested he teach a class walking emotional laps around his yoga mat while telling stories in cute muscle tanks . She said if he didn’t do it, someone else would! Adrian was quick to catch on—he replied with a spooky ghost emojis . Well played, Adrian..the ain’t no fooling you but I’m not denying that this might actually be a class that members might want to see!

Can you be less British Becs!

Matty and Olivia thought they had the perfect plan to prank Becs and Camila in the control room, stepping into character as “new employees Kyle and Sarah.” They hilariously attempted to disguise their voices over the mic, complaining about flies being picked up on the audio and even coughing dramatically to sell their act. My absolute favorite moment was when Matty, in his role, asked Becs the Brit to “be less British”—classic! But oh, how the tables turned! Just as they were basking in their clever antics, they realized the joke was on them, and the roles had been completely reversed. The look of shock on their faces when it hit them is priceless—this video is a must-watch for the laughs alone!

Other Notable April Fools Moments 

Here are some other fun highlights that deserve a shout-out: 

• Mariana’s Bracelet Announcement: Mariana’s squad claimed she was retiring her iconic inspirational bracelets due to them being faded and losing their sparkle. Did anyone else fall for that one? 
• Robin’s “Welcome Slacker” Program: Robin announced a new mantra because, apparently, not everyone is meant to hustle. Her clever suggestion? Achieve your goals from a reclined position as a “Slacker”.
