Highlighting the month, Peloton will host its inaugural “Global” Power Zone ride, setting a new benchmark for the community.

The class will span an impressive 120 minutes—the longest duration available in Peloton’s current roster of classes—and is slated for November 16. Matt Wilpers will spearhead the session from Peloton Studios New York (PSNY), while the vibrant and energetic Hannah Frankson will command the class at Peloton Studios London (PSL). Both sessions will occur simultaneously, creating a unique experience with members precisely in sync at each studio.
As of now, details about the format of this global Power Zone ride remain somewhat vague. However, there is speculation that the class could adopt an innovative two-for-one style format, featuring instructors alternating between the two studios or perhaps even providing a dual-view of both settings for an interactive experience.
Currently, Peloton offers approximately one 120-minute Power Zone ride each quarter, making this event particularly significant as it marks the first time the class will not be exclusively taught by Matt Wilpers, showcasing the collaboration of multiple acclaimed instructors.
Additionally, the renowned guest cycling instructor Christian Vande Velde will make a highly anticipated return to PSNY for a series of engaging classes during the weekend of November 15-17, 2024.

The two classes became available for in-person booking for members on October 31, and the schedule is as follows:
- 60 min. Pro Cyclist: Race Simulation – Christian Vande Velde – 11/15/24 @ 6:30am ET
- 45 min. Real Routes Ride – Christian Vande Velde – 11/17/24 @ 2:00pm ET
This upcoming weekend will feature the second installment in Christian’s innovative “Real Routes” series, which was first introduced last month. This particularly engaging series immerses riders in real-world rides, with instructors guiding them through diverse scenic routes throughout the class. The inaugural session explored Col du Galibier, an iconic segment from the Tour de France, setting high expectations. Although the theme for the subsequent class is yet to be announced, updates are anticipated to be reflected in the forthcoming schedule.
There is a strong possibility that Christian will also take advantage of his visit to record several additional classes, which are expected to be released later as premiere or on-demand sessions. Historically, he has recorded a selection of classes during previous studio visits, adding even more exciting content for Peloton enthusiasts.

**Interview with Peloton Power Zone Cycling Expert**
**Host:** Welcome to our cycling segment! Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with Alex Reynolds, a seasoned Peloton instructor and enthusiast who has been following the latest developments in Peloton’s Power Zone classes. Alex, thank you for joining us!
**Alex:** It’s a pleasure to be here! Thanks for having me.
**Host:** November is shaping up to be an exciting month for Peloton fans, especially with the Global Power Zone ride on November 16. Can you tell us a bit about what makes this event special?
**Alex:** Absolutely! The Global Power Zone ride is a game-changer for the community. It’s not just about the duration—120 minutes—which is a big deal on its own. It’s also the collaboration between instructors from New York and London. Having Matt Wilpers and Hannah Frankson leading simultaneously will create a unique, synchronized experience that many members are eagerly looking forward to.
**Host:** That’s fascinating! There’s a lot of speculation about the format of the ride. What do you think the two-for-one style could look like?
**Alex:** There’s a lot of excitement about the potential for that format. It’s possible that we could see the instructors alternating segments or even a split-screen view that allows participants in both studios to feel the energy of being together, even when they’re miles apart. It would definitely enhance the group dynamic and a sense of community among riders.
**Host:** It’s certainly an innovative approach. And on top of that, we have the renowned Christian Vande Velde making a return to Peloton Studios. What can members expect from his upcoming classes?
**Alex:** Christian is known for his engaging teaching style and expertise. His classes will be immersive experiences, especially the “Real Routes” rides, which transport riders through stunning real-world locations. It’s a fantastic way to experience cycling outside of the studio while still benefiting from expert guidance.
**Host:** The combination of endurance rides, guest instructors, and a community-centric experience makes this an exciting time for Peloton fans. What advice would you give to members looking to participate in these upcoming classes?
**Alex:** I would encourage everyone to prepare both mentally and physically for the Global Power Zone ride. Focus on hydration and nutrition leading up to the class. And most importantly, don’t be afraid to connect with others in the community—share your goals or experiences. That’s what the Peloton spirit is all about!
**Host:** Thank you so much, Alex. Your insights are incredibly valuable as we gear up for these exciting classes. We can’t wait to see how the Global Power Zone ride unfolds!
**Alex:** Thank you for having me! Let’s ride strong together!
