Whether you're riding the Peloton Bike, lifting with the app’s strength classes, or blending both for a full-body transformation, a smart workout schedule is key to progress. Peloton offers variety—but with that can come decision fatigue. This guide breaks down the best Peloton workout plans for beginners to seasoned riders, plus how to build your ideal weekly or monthly schedule based on goals like weight loss, endurance, or strength.

My Experience: Customizing a Monthly Peloton Plan
In my own training, I found that I hit plateaus when I didn’t periodize my Peloton workouts. Now, I use a monthly cycle with rotating focuses:
-
Week 1–2: Endurance rides + foundational strength
-
Week 3: High-intensity cycling + advanced lifting
-
Week 4: Deload with low impact + mobility
This rotation keeps my performance high, avoids injury, and refreshes motivation.
Tips for Sticking to Your Plan
-
Use the Peloton app schedule tool to pre-plan your week
-
Stack classes to keep transitions smooth
-
Track your progress using Peloton’s Workout Summary
-
Adjust based on how your body feels—recovery is as important as the work
Final Thoughts
There’s no “one best” Peloton workout schedule—but there is a best schedule for you. Match your weekly Peloton routine to your fitness goals, and don’t be afraid to personalize your plan as you go. Whether it’s a custom cycling training plan or a strength-based split, consistency wins every time.
