Grammy-winning rapper, producer, and wellness advocate Lil Jon made a surprise return to the Peloton Tread studio on March 14, 2025, bringing his signature energy to a special edition of the Club Bangers Tread class. The live DJ set, delivered alongside instructor Alex Toussaint, turned an ordinary 30-minute run into a full-on experience with bass drops, live mixing, and unexpected motivation.
The class marked Lil Jon’s second major appearance on the platform following the June 2024 launch of his Peloton Artist Series, which quickly became a fan favorite.
The original six-class Artist Series included cycling, tread, strength, rowing, and meditation. Lil Jon appeared in both a Club Bangers Ride and a Meditation Class led by Dr. Chelsea Jackson Roberts. The meditation component was inspired by his Manifest Abundance album, a project that reflected his personal journey into mindfulness and launched in partnership with wellness brand Natural Vitality.
“My meditation journey really led me to take on a more positive mindset, and has really helped drive awareness and access to the practice of meditation; everyone deserves to find an outlet that gives them moments of peace,” Lil Jon told Billboard at the time.
With past collaborations featuring artists like Beyoncé and Eminem, Peloton’s Artist Series continues to combine movement with music in creative ways. Lil Jon’s return highlights Peloton’s strategy of keeping its platform fresh by pairing high-impact workouts with live music and pop culture moments.
