Sam Yo Video Store Ride Brings a Fun Live Rewind Oct. 18

For the first time, Sam Yo’s movie-soundtrack series carries the video store name in the class title, and it goes live on Sunday, October 18.

The Sam Yo Video Store Ride is officially on the schedule, and this time the theme is right there in the title. Peloton instructor Sam Yo will lead a live 30 min Video Store Ride on Sunday, October 18, at 7:30 AM ET, which is 12:30 PM in London, where Sam is based.

That title is a first for the series. Every previous installment aired as an “80s Ride,” and members picked up on the video store theme from the playlist, built around iconic film scores and movie soundtrack hits. With this class, the name fans have used for years becomes the name of the class itself.

When to Take the Sam Yo Video Store Ride Live

The Sam Yo Video Store Ride starts at 7:30 AM ET on Sunday, October 18, which is 12:30 PM in London. The playlist was not part of the class listing at the time of publication, and we will update this article once the tracks are available.

The Series So Far

Before the Sam Yo Video Store Ride name appeared in a class title, the series ran under the 80s Ride label. The previous installments were:

• July 31, 2021: 45-minute 80s Ride

• November 13, 2021: 30-minute 80s Ride

• June 21, 2022: 45-minute 80s Ride

• November 12, 2023: 30-minute 80s Ride

• March 6, 2024: 45-minute Power Zone Endurance 80s Ride

• May 2, 2026: 30-minute 80s Ride

The October 18 class would be the seventh Sam Yo Video Store Ride on our list. The Clip Out covered the series in depth in 2024, and we broke down the full 10-track playlist when the May 2026 installment arrived.

Sam Yo Themed Rides Beyond the Video Store

Sam Yo themed rides have become a signature part of his teaching. His 30 min Star Wars Ride first aired on May 4, 2023, after Sam personally pitched the concept to Lucasfilm. He has also fully committed to character in his Halloween rides and teamed up with fellow actor Bradley Rose for a Moulin Rouge ride, as noted in our look at Sam’s four years with Peloton.

What ties Sam Yo themed rides together is his delivery. His calm, theatrical pacing lets the music carry the class, which suits a format built on film scores. The Sam Yo Video Store Ride is the clearest example of that approach, and the longest running.

Putting the video store name in the title gives the series an identity Peloton members have been asking for. A live Sam Yo Video Store Ride on October 18 is a natural moment for longtime fans to ride together, and a good starting point for anyone new to the series.
