Follow these steps to find the Welcome to Peloton collection:
Open the Peloton App on your mobile device or tablet.
At startup the app will open into the Classes tab (seen at the bottom of your screen); at the top of your screen, tap the Collections tab.
The Welcome to Peloton Collection will be at the top of your screen.
Tap into the collection and scroll to select your class of choice!
(Note: Collections can only be accessed via your mobile device or tablet and Web, but you can download the Peloton App for Apple TV, Fire TV, Android TV and Roku to take classes on the big screen.)
Set yourself up with enough room to roll out a workout mat and be able to comfortably move in the space around you. When you press start on your class of choice, your instructor will run through everything you need to know to be successful for the duration of the class. After greeting you with a smile and quick introduction, they’ll note any additional equipment you’ll need (though you won’t need anything much for the classes in this collection), which footwear might be suitable and remind you to keep a water bottle and towel nearby. Then they’ll dive into an overview of the class plan, pump you up then it’s off to the races!
After the class finishes, your post-workout screen will allow you to rate the difficulty and then view your personal statistics (if you’ve linked a smartwatch or heart rate monitor) and any badges you’ve earned. If you loved the class and want to revisit it again and again, simply bookmark it for safekeeping—or share it to Facebook and Instagram stories to bring your friends in on the fun.
And that’s it! Now that you have everything you need to start your Peloton journey, feel free to click around on The Output to learn more about our instructors, get some top advice from our seasoned Members and explore different methods to optimize your routine with the Peloton App.
Soon, we’ll all feel like close friends. It’s the Peloton way.
