Why doesn't Peloton talk about weight? In this instalment of Culture Study, Wendy Robinson takes over. She reflects on her experiences using Peleton as a fat person and why she believes that most attitudes in workout culture mean that she does not feel welcome as it is derived from aesthetic rather than fitness terms. “I’ve grown tired of never hearing anything that acknowledges that bodies like mine (tall, strong, & a size 22) are just as important to the Peloton community as bodies that look more like the bodies of my favourite instructors."”
