Rebecca Kennedy’s New Peloton Banded Glute Class Is Small But Mighty

Rebecca Kennedy’s new Peloton banded glute class landed on April 1, and it is the kind of 10-minute workout that earns its place on your schedule. Tagged as an intermediate strength class, “Extra 10: Glutes” is a full 10 minutes of banded glute work! Do not the brief runtime fool you. Three moves, both sides, twice through, and I felt it exactly where I was supposed to the next day, using nothing but a light band (I even skipped the weight for the bridge).

What Is In the Extra 10: Glutes Class (aka the Peloton Banded Glute Class)

The structure is clean and efficient. You work through three exercises on each side, completing two full rounds.

The class plan says that these are the moves: Single Leg Hip Bridge (0:40), Rest (0:10); Bridging Clamshell (0:40), Demo (0:10); Donkey Kick (0:40), Rest (0:10) (and repeat) but in fact, the moves we rotated through were:

• Standing Single Leg Kick Back (not a Donkey Kick, and interestingly, Rebecca equated this to a cable move she does in her Strength+ Program in the second round)
• Single Leg Hip Bridge (adding a yoga block to support one foot, strongly recommended; and a dumbbell for your hip, optional to add weight)
• Bridging Clamshell (with some great cues like lifting a lid off a pot)

That sequence repeats on the second side, then cycles through again for round two on each side. Personally I’m not a fan of so much up and down for mat work so in the second round I just did both sides standing then laying down. The timing still worked just fine.

A Light Band Goes a Long Way (And She Suggested At Least a Medium!)

This is worth noting for anyone who grabs their heaviest band out of habit. I used a light band for this class and absolutely felt the burn in the right places the following day. Glute activation work is meant to target and recruit, not simply overload. The band keeps the focus on the correct muscles and reduces the tendency to compensate through the hip flexors or lower back. If you are new to banded glute work, start light and prioritize form over resistance. However, don’t go too light… she doesn’t want us to simply rep these out, she’d rather us do fewer with proper form.

Is More Banded Content Coming to Peloton?

This class does not exist in isolation. The Clip Out has been watching the resistance band space on Peloton for a while now. We covered how Camila Ramón’s repeated mention of a banded glute warmup during a recent ride raised the question of whether Peloton is working on a new pre-ride class category, noting that instructors referencing the same specific recommendation more than once in a single class tends to signal something worth watching. You can read that full piece here.

The broader pattern is notable. Peloton’s last addition to the resistance band genre before Marcel Maurer’s August 2023 classes was in December 2022, meaning dedicated resistance band class content had been largely quiet on the platform for what was approaching a year and a half to two years. The Clip Out also covered that 2023 Marcel Maurer drop directly, reporting on the addition of a 5-minute Intro to Resistance Bands and a 20-minute Full Body Resistance Class. You can find that article here.

Now, with Rebecca Kennedy dropping a dedicated banded glute class (despite it not being called that… yet) and Camila planting seeds about banded warmups earlier this year, the momentum in this corner of the library feels active.

To be clear: Peloton has not announced an expanded resistance band collection or a new class format. This is optimistic speculation based on observable signals. But the signals are stacking up!

Why Peloton Banded Glute Class Work Makes Sense Right Now

The goal of banded glute work is to stimulate, not exhaust. A well-constructed session focuses on low-load activation that primes the glutes to fire properly, reducing the likelihood that other muscle groups compensate. That principle applies whether you are prepping for a ride or adding a quick standalone session to your day.

Peloton has been expanding its mat-based and prop-supported offerings steadily. Loop bands fit that trajectory without requiring a major equipment investment from members. And as a recent Peloton Reddit thread suggested, members find resistance band classes genuinely valuable, which points to real community appetite for more of this content.

Rebecca Kennedy’s April 1, 2026 “Extra 10: Glutes” is worth adding to your rotation regardless of what comes next. Ten minutes, a band, (a yoga block), and the right three moves. That is a reasonable investment for results you will feel the next morning.
