My sister and I are taking on what we have called the "Peloton Instructor Challenge" this year. It gives us something to look forward to and something to do that takes our mind off the fact that we're still very much living that #quarantinelife right now.
Basically, we decided to complete a class (minimum 20 minutes per class) with every Peloton instructor in all disciplines during 2021. I'm tracking my progress here and offering some feedback about each instructor if you're interested.
I included all the current instructors as of January 2021 across all Peloton the disciplines. Some instructors do multiple disciplines though -- For example, Olivia Amato does tread and cycling; Adrian Williams does tread and strength; Ross Rayburn does yoga and meditation). I'll include the specific class I completed along with the date and offer my thoughts on the instructor!

You will love Adrian Williams if...you want a difficult workout with some seriously muscular eye candy!
You will love Alex Toussaint if...you want a really hard class where you get really pumped up and never slow down!

When I first started Peloton one of the first classes I took was an Ally class. In fact, when my sister and I went for our Peloton Pilgrimage in October 2019 we originally wanted to do an Ally Intervals and Arms class but the schedule was changed to a Hannah Marie Corbin ride instead. You can read about our Pelogrimage here on the blog.
You will love Ally Love if...you want more than a workout and to be uplifted. Or if you want to enjoy some Caribbean music!

You will love Andy Speer if...
You will love Anna Greenberg if...you enjoy a soothing, calm instructor who shows you by example.
You will love Becs Gentry if...you want to take a class by someone who oozes love for running and is a ray of sunshine and positivity. I absolutely love her classes and she has so much fun with them -- she even wears themed outfits for certain runs...like her ABBA run!
You will love Ben Alldis if...you want someone who doesn't talk a ton and stays very focused. I'm not gonna lie--he's not my favorite. But I'm going to take a few more classes from him to see if he grows on me. I LOVE his fiancee Leanne's classes!
You will love Chase Tucker if...you want a really intense workout and some impressive muscles. He has a great personality too.
You will love Dr. Chelsea Jackson Roberts if...you enjoy a megawatt smile and a great personality who can walk you through the yoga practice and is very calming and magnetic. I think she has a really enchanting personality.
You will love Christine D'Ercole if...you want to take a class from a world class athlete. I'm pretty sure she is an Olympian in fact. She has a calming voice and really focuses less on chatter and more on the ride.
You will love Cody Rigsby if...you want someone over the top fabulous in personality who will make you laugh and forget the burning in your legs or how long you have left in the class. He makes me laugh so much and some of the things he says will really catch you off guard and make you smile.
You will love Denis Morton if...you want a laid back workout with someone who is chill and relaxed but will still push you to work hard. And he's so handsome too!
You will love Emma Lovewell if...you want someone results focused who is relaxed and has great taste in music. She also has really great ab workouts too.
You will love Hannah Corbin if...you want a fun-loving instructor who gives off best friend vibes and will motivate you with kindness. She will always have a special place in my heart because she was my first class I ever took and it was live in the New York studio.
You will love Hannah Frankson if...you want a beautiful british accent cueing your class coming from a firecracker instructor.
*She left Peloton so I'm leaving her off.
You will love Jenn Sherman if...
You will love Jess Sims if...you want someone who will push you further than you think you can go but in a way you don't even realize. Her classes really fly by.
You will love Kristin McGee if...you want a gentle voice knowledgeably guiding you through your class. She is kind and will keep you moving through the class with focus.
You will love Leanne Hainsby if...cheery upbeat classes that will still make you work! Leanne is one of my favorite instructors because of her infectious joy, mix of hard and easy rides, and fun commentary and cueing throughout the classes. She seems like she would be such a great pal -- or as they say in London, "mate" -- to have. She also apparently was a back up dancer for Taylor Swift at one point!
You will love Matt Wilpers if...you want a pro teaching your class. I only did a 5 minute and my goal was to do a 20 minute with each instructor so technically this wasn't enough.
You will love Olivia Amato if...you want one heck of a tough class from one tiny pint-sized spitfire of an instructor. She will really push you.
You will love Rebecca Kennedy if...you want a really fun class with side stories that make will distract you from how hard you are working.
You will love Robin Arzon if...you want a no-nonsense, no-excuses instructor who will not accept complaints and will push you so hard and genuinely motivate you to be your best both during and after your workout. Not gonna lie Robin is my favorite instructor of all. I am just so inspired by her spirit and her "hustle."
You will love Ross Rayburn if...you want a calm, laidback class.
You will love Sam Yo if...you want to work hard and enjoy a laugh.
You will love Selena Samuela if...
