There is no doubt that Peloton is popular, on its own, with its instructors and exercises hitting a global market and fanbase. On top of that, Peloton has hundreds of celebrities who actually love, recommend and exercise on the platform.
So, while making friends with your favourite celebrity in the real world may be challenging, you can make Peloton celebrity friends. The best way to connect with them is when you take a class together, though you would only do so if you had their Leaderboard names. Sadly, most Leaderboard names are far from suggesting one’s real name. And that is why you should read this;
How Can You Ride with a Celebrity on Peloton?
You can ride with a celebrity on Peloton by following them. Once you are friends, you will know the scheduled classes they take and sign up for the same to be in the same class.
In this case, you have to know their Leaderboard names, which do not always reflect their real names.
However, some celebrities have kept their accounts private, in which case you have to request them for friendship, and they have to accept for you to even view their profile.
