Revolutionize Your Peloton Ride: New Video Series Changes the Face of Fitness

Psychologist and Body Positive Activist Dr. Rachel Millner Says "You Are Worthy"!

PHILADELPHIA, PA, UNITED STATES, March 6, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Who hasn’t at least heard of Peloton? Since 2012, the brand has skyrocketed in popularity, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, by bringing the gym right into the home and revitalizing the boring bike workout with engaging and entertaining live instructors who have built communities that create a sense of belonging and motivation.

That is, for thin people! People like clinical psychologist, body positive activist, and avid Peloton rider Dr. Rachel Millner have long been frustrated that plus size Peloton instructors are very few and far between. She states emphatically, “Representation matters and higher weight people are not likely to enter into a community if there aren't people who look like them in leadership roles. It's one thing to have size diversity in a class. It's another to have someone in a larger body actually leading the class.” And there are no Peloton instructors who are clinical psychologists who can incorporate therapeutic principles into their rides.

To solve this dilemma, Dr. Rachel has begun a mission to get hired as a Peloton instructor and will soon be launching a video series, "Revolutionize Your Ride: Changing the Face of Fitness With Dr. Rachel", which will create a community that challenges the stereotype of what fitness "looks" like, and affirms riders’ worthiness, authenticity, and vulnerability. “Rides that I teach will be all about taking up space in the unique ways that each of us takes up space in the world - both physically and emotionally.” Dr. Rachel explains, “That every single one of us is needed in this world and that we all need to support one another!”
