My latest videos. Video Muted Peloton is partnering with Teach For America to "bring movement, wellness, and community" to the organization's 35th Anniversary Summit, themed "The Power of Us." The Summit takes place Friday, October 2 and Saturday, October 3, 2026 at Caesars Forum in Las Vegas. Teach For America announced the partnership via Instagram, in a video featuring both Jess and Chelsea, writing: "35 years in and we're still finding new ways to show up | @onepeloton is joining us for our 35th Anniversary Summit this October and we could not be more excited. See you there @jesssims @chelsealovesyoga" Peloton will start each day of the Summit with movement, with Jess and Chelsea each leading a different style. Jess will lead a bodyweight strength class, billed by the event page as "part sweat session, part reunion energy" and built around joy, movement, and connection. For those looking for a slower pace, Chelsea Jackson Roberts will lead a "restorative yoga experience focused on grounding, clarity, and community." The classes are complimentary for Summit attendees, who will also receive exclusive swag, and will be offered on both Friday and Saturday. Because capacity is limited, sign-ups are first-come, first-served and prioritized by when attendees registered for the Summit. The partnership has a personal connection for Jess, who is a Teach For America alum herself. A former teacher and principal, she gave a shout-out to her "Houston '10 corps" in the announcement video. Chelsea is also a former educator. It also continues Jess's ongoing work celebrating teachers through Peloton. Earlier this year she led a four-city Teacher Appreciation Tour with stops in Seattle, Houston, Detroit, and New York City, and Peloton released a Teacher Appreciation Bodyweight Strength class with her to mark Teacher Appreciation Week. Teach For America describes the 35th Anniversary Summit as a celebration of its legacy, with thousands of alumni, educators, leaders, and partners expected to gather to mark 35 years and "shape what comes next."
