Peloton has been awarded the Community Builder Award by Bronx-based community development organization, the Women’s Housing and Economic Development Corporation (WHEDco) at its annual Benefit and Ballgame event. Held at the Yankee Stadium, the event celebrates the work of WHEDco and the Bronx residents they serve.
Alongside The Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), Peloton has fully outfitted the Bronx Commons fitness center with Peloton and Precor equipment and provided free 2-year Peloton App memberships for all Bronx Commons residents. The partnership has also helped support the organization’s dedicated wellness staff and programming including Bronx Commons’ family support, fresh food, arts, community, cultural, and green features.
Kirsten Ferguson, Peloton instructor, accepted the award on Peloton’s behalf, saying: “WHEDco’s belief that all people deserve healthy, sustainable, and vibrant communities is exactly what we seek to foster through our work at Peloton.”
