What Are Peloton Roll Call Classes In 2023?

Peloton Roll Call is a daily strength training class, rated as intermediate difficulty, and programmed to evenly work your entire body over the course of a week.

Numerous studies have demonstrated the massive benefits of strength training for cyclists in both speed and power, and strength training is a key component of a well-rounded cycling training program.

Currently, Roll Call is Peloton’s only class to be updated weekly.

When first introduced, every class went out live at 7:30 a.m. (ET). However, at the time of writing, classes are now split between 7:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. (ET) and contain a mix of live classes and “encores” (repeats of previous live classes).

You can still sign up for Roll Call classes in Peloton Studios, although these appear to be less frequent than when they were first introduced back in 2023.

When Are Roll Call Classes? The Peloton Roll Call Schedule

The specific schedule for Roll Call is updated weekly and available to all Peloton members.

Generally, the weekly structure involves full body workouts on Monday and Friday, and then an even split of dedicated upper body, core, glutes, and leg classes on other days.

There is always at least one class per day, seven days a week.

The classes take place at either 7:30 a.m. or 5 p.m. (ET), and occasionally two will take place in a single day.

Check the schedule weekly as it’s updated week to week. It can be found on the Peloton platform and is available to members only.

Signing up for a daily Roll Call class is a great way to ensure you’re maintaining a well-rounded workout plan, and minimizes the chance of neglecting muscle groups.

So make the most of your Peloton membership, enlist for roll call, and get moving!

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Peloton Roll Call

Roll Call classes have a devoted following for good reason — they offer a sense of community that is hard to replicate in on-demand workouts. Here are a few ways to make the experience even better.

Show up early. The leaderboard fills up fast during popular Roll Call sessions, and joining a minute or two before the scheduled start gives you time to calibrate your bike, check your audio, and settle into the right headspace. Many regulars treat the pre-class countdown as part of the ritual.

Use the hashtag system. Peloton’s hashtag feature lets you filter the leaderboard to see only riders in your community or group. If you ride with a specific crew — whether it is a local cycling club, an online fitness group, or a workplace challenge — adding a shared hashtag makes Roll Call feel like a private group ride within the larger class.

Don’t fixate on the leaderboard. While the competitive element is part of what makes live classes exciting, Roll Call is ultimately about showing up consistently. Many instructors specifically encourage riders to focus on effort over output, especially in the longer 45-minute and 60-minute sessions where pacing matters more than a single sprint effort.

How Roll Call Compares to Peloton’s On-Demand Library

The biggest difference between Roll Call and on-demand classes is accountability. When you schedule a live ride, you are committing to a specific time, which removes the temptation to push your workout to “later” — a later that often never arrives. Research consistently shows that exercise adherence improves when people commit to a set schedule rather than relying on willpower alone.

Live classes also offer real-time instructor shout-outs, which can be surprisingly motivating. Hearing your Peloton username called out mid-climb gives you a boost that a pre-recorded class simply cannot replicate. Instructors often acknowledge milestone rides, birthday rides, and returning members, which reinforces the community atmosphere that keeps people coming back week after week.

That said, on-demand classes have their own advantages. You can pause, rewind, and choose a class length and difficulty that matches exactly what you need on any given day. The ideal approach for most riders is a mix of both: anchor your week with one or two live Roll Call sessions and fill in the gaps with on-demand rides that target specific training goals.
