Peloton is improving its Sessions feature by giving you the option to workout with smaller groups. The upgrade allows you to schedule these classes now, with the extra benefit of exercising with friends. You can schedule Sessions from Peloton's iOS app. It includes runs and rides that last upwards of 20 minutes. All you have to do is pick a class, select the date and time, and invite friends by sharing the link with friends. Five minutes before the course, you'll get a notification on your bike or tread. If you don't have friends who use Peloton, it's still possible to join the smaller, on-demand sessions.
