On 5 September, the UK DJ and producer will perform a live DJ set during a Tread class at Peloton Studios London

Armada Music—the world’s biggest independent dance label—and Peloton are bringing their global DJ residency to London on Friday, 5 September, with a Tread class soundtracked by UK DJ and producer D.O.D. Hosted at Peloton Studios London and led by Peloton instructor Jon Hosking, this 30-minute Tread class will feature a live DJ set from D.O.D, mixing his biggest hits to deliver true club-level energy to the Peloton community. Peloton Members can experience the class on their Peloton Tread, Tread+ [US/CA only], or via the Peloton App (App+ tier only) from 7.30pm BST on 5 September. 


A hitmaker and multi-platinum selling artist, D.O.D is the creative force behind some of dance music’s most recognisable contemporary tracks including BRIT-nominated 'Somedays' with Sonny Fodera and Jazzy, which landed a #5 position on the UK Official Top 40, to the UK Top 20 hit 'So Much In Love,' and breakout hit 'Still Sleepless’.

“As a keen runner, I know how important music can be in working out, so I’m really excited to be part of this residency,” says D.O.D. “I’ll be playing some of my biggest tracks alongside brand-new material that I hope will bring a lot of energy to the class.”

“This is the first time that we’re hosting a live DJ in our Tread studio in London, and I can’t wait to bring this experience to our Members,” adds Peloton Instructor, Jon Hosking. “Having D.O.D live in the class, combined with the elevated class production, will amplify the energy and experience, both for those in the studio and Members taking the class from home.”

Launched in April 2025, Armada Music and Peloton’s partnership marks Peloton’s first-ever global DJ residency, bringing an exclusive lineup of DJ-led classes to Peloton Studios New York and London. The residency features six high-energy workouts soundtracked by Armada’s leading electronic artists. So far, highlights have included Peloton’s first LIVE Dance Cardio Class with instructor Emma Lovewell, a LIVE DJ Ride with Olivia Amato—both powered by sets from electronic mainstay ARTY—and, earlier this summer, Peloton’s first LIVE DJ Yoga Flow with Autograf and instructor Aditi Shah. The series will culminate this fall with a grand finale led by none other than world-renowned DJ, producer, and Armada co-founder Armin van Buuren.
