How the New Systems at Peloton Studios Work
When Peloton Studios reopened a few years ago in their new location, everything about visiting PSNY changed. This includes the location, moving from Chelsea to Hudson Yards on Manhattan’s West Side. Now you get these jelly bracelets for each class you take.
How to Get Off the Peloton Studios Waitlist
If you don’t get into a class of your choice with Thursday bookings, it’s not the end of the world. Peloton has a robust waitlist system that I’ve used dozens of times to take classes. You just have to know and understand how to use the waitlist, and this article explains my tips and tricks that really work.

You Can Leave Your Shoes at Home
If you forget your shoes when visiting PSNY, don’t worry. Much like a bowling alley, now you can rent shoes for the Peloton cycling classes. And when I say rent, I mean you can borrow them for free. Not sure about how Peloton shoes fit? Here are Peloton shoes for wide feet.
Booking a Hotel Near Peloton Studios
Even when visiting the old Peloton Studios, I would stay at a hotel that was within walking distance. It’s the same with the newer Peloton Studios at Hudson Yards. That’s why I’ve put together this collection of hotels close to PSNY.

Celebrating Peloton Milestones in Person
I’ve been lucky enough to time certain Peloton milestones to a visit to the Peloton Studios. Most recently this included my 750th walk and my 1700th ride. And celebrating my last birthday by taking live classes there. If you can time your milestones to a visit to PSNY, it will be awesome. I promise.
Save Money on Food at PSNY
You can absolutely buy food and drink when you’re at PSNY but you’ll pay handsomely for it. Here’s the trick I use every time I go to the Peloton Studios: I visit the Whole Foods next door and buy bananas, yogurt and more. Best of all: Because I have Amazon Prime, I get discounted pricing.
Live Classes Are On Fewer Days
When Peloton moved their studios from Chelsea to Hudson Yards, they changed the number of days when you could ride live or take classes in the studio. Last year they shrunk the number of live classes with people in the studio even more. Currently, you can take live classes in person at PSNY on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday only.
Follow Peloton Social Media for Special Opportunities
From time to time, Peloton will announce special booking opportunities via their social media. I’ve seen this most often on the Peloton Studios Instagram feed and not as a post but in their stories. So if you’re looking to get the inside scoop on soon-to-be-released studio spots, definitely follow Peloton Studios on Instagram @pelotonstudios
Walking the NYC High Line Near Peloton Studios
One of the great things about the Peloton Studios New York location is how close it is to the New York City High Line, the former elevated railroad line that is now an elevated public park. You can get onto the High Line from the plaza just outside PSNY. It’s a lovely mile-plus walk above NYC traffic.

Visiting Peloton London Studios
Many Peloton users have discovered a secret about taking classes at Peloton Studios: it’s much easier to get a spot at the Peloton London studios. Sure, this might require a trip overseas. But if you can ride with your favorite British and German instructors, then it’s worth it. So, perhaps the most unexpected tip about PSNY is this: if you can’t get into a class there, try the London studios instead.
