Insights

Corporate partnerships & health research analyst

Peloton partners with Respin to run a 500-participant exercise study on menopause symptoms and launch curated programming.

Peloton and Respin Health will recruit 500 Peloton members into the "PRESS" study starting Oct. 6, 2025, provide a free eight-week curated collection of classes, and share results in January 2026. The collaboration pairs Peloton's platform and community features with Respin's menopause-focused care protocols to test whether targeted exercise reduces symptoms such as sleep disruption, mood swings and energy fluctuations.

Execution depends on participant adherence, data collection quality, and the study's measured endpoints; those factors will determine how persuasive the findings are. The offering's commercial value will hinge on clear, publishable outcomes and uptake of the subsequent Peloton x Respin Menopause Care Program across the Member base.

Watch enrollment on Oct. 6, 2025, the study completion in December, and the results publication in January 2026 for evidence that informs program rollout and potential member engagement metrics over the following quarters.

Powerful Collaboration Features Co-Curated Peloton Programming Targeting the Needs of Perimenopausal and Menopausal Women

NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Peloton, the global leader in connected fitness, and Respin Health, the most comprehensive platform for holistic, personalized menopause care, announce a groundbreaking partnership to advance the conversation around women's health during perimenopause and menopause. Together, the brands will partner to offer special fitness content, unite communities to empower women, and launch one of the first large-scale research studies exploring how targeted exercise can improve menopause-related symptoms, bringing scientifically validated solutions and mainstream visibility to an often-overlooked life stage.

The partnership will unfold in two key phases. Beginning this October, Peloton and Respin Health will invite 500 Peloton members to take part in an innovative research study. Aptly named 'PRESS' (Peloton/Respin Exercise & Symptoms Study), the study will provide participants with free access to a curated collection of Peloton workouts designed in collaboration with Respin Health's menopause care program, which integrates clinically informed, science-backed protocols to help manage symptoms such as sleep disruption, mood swings, and energy fluctuations. The study will run through December, with results to be shared in January 2026. Those findings will power the next phase of the partnership: the launch of the Peloton x Respin Menopause Care Program, giving women everywhere ongoing access to evidence-based exercise and menopause support.

The venture marks Peloton's inaugural curation of content specifically for menopausal women, available to all Members on the Peloton platform. The eight-week program consists of a Collection of Peloton classes and new classes co-created with Respin featuring inspiring Peloton Instructors Christine D'Ercole, Susie Chan, Joslyn Thompson Rule and Charlotte Weidenbach. To allow participants to share in community, Peloton will leverage the brand's Teams feature by creating a dedicated "Menopause Health" Team, available on the Peloton App.

"Our primary goal at Peloton is improving Member outcomes around fitness, strength, longevity and happiness," said Peter Stern, CEO Peloton. "Over the past year since I joined Peloton, I have heard from so many of our Members, including people in my own life, about the need for greater support during menopause. By partnering with Respin, we are taking an important step in supporting our Members through every phase of their wellness journey - helping them find community, build strength and feel great."

"We're getting more and more science about what works for women in perimenopause and menopause, that's amazing, but we need to take what we've learned to the streets and show how it actually works in our busy, messy, imperfect lives," said Halle Berry, Founder, Respin Health. "That's why we created this program with Peloton, the perfect partner to help us unlock the power of movement in menopause."

The collaboration launches during World Menopause Awareness Month, aligning with the International Menopause Society's 2025 theme, "Lifestyle as Medicine."

Enrollment for study participation opens October 6, 8am PT / 11am ET. To learn more about the Peloton x Respin partnership and the PRESS study, go to www.respin.health/peloton.
