Kendall Toole Reveals New Podcast After Leaving Peloton (Exclusive) [Video]

Five years ago, Kendall Toole moved to New York City and started the “opportunity of a lifetime” as a Peloton instructor, leading cycling, boxing, and strength workouts. 

After announcing her departure from the fitness company last month, the 31-year-old is now opening up to PEOPLE about how thrilled she is for the next chapter of her career. 

Toole says she is so grateful for her Peloton journey and the community she’s built through the platform.

“It was the opportunity of a lifetime, but I’ve always seen it as a springboard,” she tells PEOPLE. “At this point in my career, I really think it’s time for me to take matters into my own hands, bet on myself, and build the future and the things that really speak to my passions.”

“I’m looking forward to what comes next,” she says.
