Building off the success of last year’s The Annual challenge, we’re continuing with The Annual 2021. It’s the Peloton tradition that supports you in making the most of your membership in the year ahead. So if you like a challenge, which we know you do, you’ll love this year-long venture.
The Annual Challenge, launching January 1st, 2021, invites you to track your time through multiple milestones throughout the year, rewarding you with exclusive badges for every one thousand minutes you spent moving, mobilizing, and meditating. You’ll receive your first badge after 1,000 minutes completed and continue on until you’ve reached 10,000 minutes for a total of ten unique badges. This year, we’ve added a bonus badge for those who want to push themselves further. You’ll unlock it when you reach 15,000 minutes. Any class taken on the Peloton platform counts towards your total time.
While these goals are sized to motivate you, we’ve seen you out there putting in work, and we know that these goals are possible for most Members, as long as you stay consistent.
Why minutes? It’s simple: However hard you’re working, whatever goal your work is supporting, we want to honor every moment you spend with Peloton, and help you track your progress along the way.
We believe that any time spent working in service of our best selves is time well spent, and The Annual 2020 is an amazing opportunity to practice setting achievable goals and rewarding yourself for growth over a lifetime. “When you reach a longer-range goal, treat yourself to a new pair of sneakers or new headphones to work out with. Think fun and variety when it comes to your workouts,” says Peloton Cycling instructor Ben Alldis.
Opting in to The Annual at the beginning of the year is an opportunity to reactivate the motivation that drove you through the last year. It’s a hand-raise that represents a recommitment to your fitness journey, and a promise to yourself that you will be counted as an active part of our community. And by constantly showing up and putting in the time, you’ll also build discipline and consistency to maintain an active lifestyle.
“There are plenty of changes we go through that we don’t actively seek out,” says Master Tread Instructor Rebecca Kennedy. “The ones we choose to take on are equally, if not more, important because it implies you are seeking growth.”
Bike, Tread and app users will be able to immediately track their progress as soon as The Annual begins.
So find friends to join you in The Annual, select one of our Programs or Collections to lock in a plan, count yourself in for workouts, and plan your rewards. Your next milestone is waiting for you.
