Peloton Homecoming sales open a few months before the homecoming event. This year, tickets go on sale on February 12th at 12:00 Eastern time. Save the date and time. The tickets sell out fast!! Last year, we broke the internet. I’m sure they have made improvements since then. Be prepared to select the ride or run you would like to attend with your ticket purchase.
The Peloton Homecoming event package is $95. The event package will give you access to one studio workout (cycling, tread or yoga), the community-run, panels featuring Peloton instructors and fellow members, meet & greets, the apparel warehouse sale, community celebration and more. Peloton Homecoming 2020 is May 1-3, 2020. You can purchase tickets here.
Peloton Homecoming epitomizes the very definition of Peloton: A group of riders, stronger together. Because although you ride on your own, you are never alone. Every time you jump on the bike, you’re sure to receive support and encouragement with shout-outs from an instructor (“Way to get it done”) or virtual high-fives from others in the class.

Peloton Homecoming: Day 1
Arrive in NYC Friday morning as early as possible. My sister and I found flights that arrived before noon. I came from Florida and she flew in from Colorado. People come from all over for the Peloton Homecoming. Last year, Peloton hosted close to 3,000 Members from 49 states, plus Puerto Rico, the UK, and Canada.
Peloton recommends hotels in the Chelsea area. If you can swing it, do it. It is SO convenient to be right where everything takes place and you will save on all uber rides. Book early! The hotel’s book up! Consider an Air B and B if you are traveling with a group.
Inquire about early check-in. If you can’t check into your room early (before the typical 3 pm check-in time) leave your luggage with the concierge.
2:00 pm pick up credentials at Caldwell Factory. You may get the opportunity to see the fabulous Robin Arzon doing an interview or see gorgeous Jess King getting her makeup done. After you pick up your credentials, walk over to the Cycling studio if you selected a Friday class. My sister and I loved taking a Friday afternoon class to kick-start our weekend. It feels good to get your legs moving after traveling on an airplane.
My sister and I are cyclists. But you may have come for the yoga or tread. Do you and enjoy it!!
3:30 pm Cycling Studio 140 W 23rd Street New York, NY. My sister checked-in at 3:30 pm for the 4:30p Jess King 30 min hip hop. I checked-in at 4:30 for Robin 5:30 pm 30 min Tabata. Complimentary water, towels, and shoes were provided. I know the classes and times will obviously change this year and there are more instructors to choose from!
Everyone lines up to get there bike number and check in to the class. The studio is full of happy, energetic people. Some riders come to the live studio regularly and others, like my sister and self, were first-time riders in the live studio. If you want to be the person behind the instructor on camera, try to get seat 6.
While you are waiting for class to start, you can leave your personal belongings in the locker room. A complimentary lock is provided. You can enjoy a fancy smoothie or juice from their juice bar. You can peruse the Peloton apparel in the Peloton boutique connected to the studio. You can also sit back, and watch the live class in progress on television in the common area. This is the perfect opportunity to meet other Peloton fanatics who have traveled near and far for this memorable weekend. Exchange leader board names, phone numbers, and talk about your favorite instructors.
Keep in mind, Peloton keeps a waiting list. When my sister and I registered for classes, the classes filled up so fast, we were unable to select the same class. When she started Jess King’s 4:30 pm class, I got her on the waitlist for Robin’s 5:30 class. After Robin’s class started, the help staff let my sister know that there was a “no show” and she was able to get into the class a few minutes after it started. It was so much fun to take a class together and she really got a killer workout.
If you choose to take your class Saturday, Peloton Homecoming holds a 5k for the members Friday afternoon along the Hudson River. Your credentials are ID bracelets with your leaderboard names that are scanned to let you into each event. My leaderboard name is #maximizermama. Leave yours in the comment section below so I can follow you.
6:15 pm head back to the hotel and shower. If you love to exercise and walk the streets of NYC like us, I recommend walking back to your hotel/Air B and B.
7:30 pm Dinner. Do your research ahead of time. There are so many fantastic restaurants in NYC, it would be hard for me to recommend a favorite. Peloton does a good job recommending restaurants and you can also check the Offical Homecoming Facebook page to see where other Peloton athletes are dining.

Peloton Homecoming: Day 2
Saturday morning: Wake up, work out at hotel room, get brunch and coffee.
There are so many options for Saturday:
Boutique Warehouse- Sale Skylight Modern 537 W 27th St. If you don’t want to wait in line, push the warehouse sale back to Sunday afternoon or get to the warehouse an hour before the open Saturday. This is the one place during Peloton Homecoming to purchase apparel at a discounted rate.
Sky Light Modern-meet and greet with various instructors and attend a panel. There were many opportunities to meet and chat with the instructors. I felt like they were organized very well and I enjoyed my time talking with the people I work out with weekly!
Caldwell Factory-meet up with some of your favorite instructors and enjoy a panel. Last year, there were panels on healthy eating, meditation, and so much more.
Gagosian- Peloton Homecoming happens in the heart of NYC’s art district, and most galleries are open to the public. Gagosian is an industry heavy hitter, so stop by and spot the next big thing.

Everyone dresses up in sparkles, cocktail dresses, and fun colors, and we are in for a treat! In 2019, Beck performed. Excited to see what’s in store for 2020. My sister and I made some lifetime friends.
The Community Celebration is the apex moment of the Peloton Homecoming weekend, where all attendees will come together. The evening will include an intimate conversation with Peloton Founder and CEO John Foley about all things Peloton, followed by a musical performance and cocktails!

Peloton Homecoming: Day 3
Sleep in. Stretch. You will be sore from all the dancing the night before. Check out at 11 am, leave the suitcase at the concierge, and explore the city.
Highline Park– enter at 34th Street and 12th Avenue. It opens at 7 am and stays open until sunset. It’s worth a stroll.
Chelsea Market– It’s iconic. The Chelsea Market is considered one of the greatest indoor food and retail market places in the world. It’s a must-visit and you are right there.
What did you want to do Saturday that you didn’t fit in? Go there!!
Take an Uber to the airport and fly home. As Peloton would say, arrive excited, leave inspired.
