Kendall Toole is one of our all-time favorite Peloton instructors. However, she recently announced that she’s leaving the Peloton platform on her social platforms. Luckily, you can catch her on the bike or the mat anytime, anywhere, thanks to Peloton’s thousands of on-demand classes.
While she’s definitely all about taking care of physical health through high-quality workouts, she is also a powerful advocate for mental health and has been open about her anxiety and depression. “Moving every single day and knowing there were people out there in that community was important for me physically, but it was so important for my mental health. I think that’s actually what spurred my passion and my gut instinct to reach out and be open about my story, because I was like, ‘Wait. This is a community that I know I’m safe with.’ Because they were there, I could grow, and I will always be so grateful and appreciative of that,” Toole says.
We spoke with Toole about the must haves in her life that keep her feeling good and ready to take on the day, whether she’s teaching classes or navigating New York City. Speaking of classes, she also let us in on her dream theme ride scenario: “I’m a rocker girl at heart, and this was the band that changed my life,” she shares. “If we could ever get Robert Plant to say yes to a Led Zeppelin ride and I could do . . . I would literally do a three-part, every album that we could fit. I will do three hours . . . it’s either Led Zeppelin or it’s Rihanna. Those are my two. We got range. But if RiRi says yes, we’d go off. You know that we go crazy in ‘Bitch Better Have My Money’.”
Although we will definitely miss seeing her new classes on the platform, we’re excited to see what’s next for her. For now, read about Toole’s favorite products, from the cool sneakers she wears consistently to the cozy weighted blanket she uses during therapy sessions.
