Following the success of the residency with Defected Records in the UK last year, Peloton is turning up the volume once again—this time with the world’s largest independent dance music label, Armada Music. Founded by legendary DJ and producer Armin van Buuren and CEO Maykel Piron, Armada Music has been a driving force in electronic music for more than two decades.
Starting this April 2025, Peloton Members can experience the energy of Armada Music firsthand with an exclusive lineup of live DJ-led classes at Peloton Studios New York and Peloton Studios London. Across the year, Peloton will bring Members six electrifying workouts featuring Armada’s top artists, blending heart-pumping rides and high-energy mat-based workouts.
"At Armada Music, we believe in the power of music to move people—both emotionally and physically,” said Maykel Piron, CEO & Co-Founder of Armada Music. “Partnering with Peloton for this residency is an exciting way to merge fitness with the music we love, creating a space where people can push their limits while feeling completely immersed in the sound."
The residency kicks off with electronic dance music mainstay ARTY taking over Peloton Studios New York on April 3, delivering two unforgettable Armada Music moments—Peloton’s first LIVE Dance Cardio Class with Peloton Instructor Emma Lovewell and a LIVE DJ Ride with Peloton Instructor Olivia Amato. And that’s just the beginning—throughout the year, more Armada artists, including Armin van Buuren, will take center stage to bring the beats across Peloton’s diverse fitness disciplines.
“Being an instructor, music plays a pivotal role in planning my classes and setting the tone for the workout. Armada’s sound serves as the perfect mental escape and motivator during the tougher parts of class” said Peloton Instructor Olivia Amato. “Riding to a live DJ set is that same concept amplified—combining movement, music and community makes these moments so powerful. I can't wait to bring that electric energy to our Members and have them experience it firsthand."
With a roster that includes some of the most celebrated DJs in the world, the Armada Music residency is designed to bring the energy of global dance floors directly to the Peloton community. The residency will feature a total of six classes across multiple modalities, ensuring that every Member can experience the electrifying synergy of live music and movement.
More details on upcoming DJs and class drops will be revealed throughout the year—so stay tuned and get ready to move with the beat of Armada Music. Follow @onepeloton @pelotonstudios and @armadamusic for ongoing updates.
