On 13 June 2024, Kendall Toole announced in an Instagram Reel that she was leaving the company after nearly five years. “It’s with great consideration and many, many, many hours of reflection, but I’m choosing to close my chapter at Peloton,” wrote Kendall Toole, who leads cycling, boxing, and strength workouts on the platform.
She went on to thank the Peloton for “this incredible, life-changing opportunity,” as well as her followers for “letting me into your homes, into your hearts, and in many times – I hope – into the shadowy parts of your mind where sometimes things can get a little tough.”
And though she would no longer be at Peloton, Tool said this wasn’t the end. “Before we get too emotional, I don’t want you to think I’m saying goodbye. I’m not, this is just a shift,” Toole said. “I’ll continue to check in on social media and far beyond. This is more of an ‘I’ll see you in the next chapter’ kind of energy.”
“Stay tuned for what’s next and I will see you in the next adventure,” she said. “Love you.” Kendall Toole said she was “eternally grateful and moved” by her followers’ support, and their “willingness for us all to be vulnerable.”
“To the community who have become my friend and family and have stayed in the fight with me, I cannot thank you enough,” she said. “It’s been an absolute honor, especially to every single one of you Knockouts and NKO crew members for all of the fun and craziness and joy.”
“Thank you for riding with me, for sweating with me, for crying with me, for growing and evolving with me, and every single way we’ve committed to showing up for ourselves so we can show up for those around us in our life,” Tool added. “And that kind of commitment to ourselves is truly spectacular.”
She ended her video with a motivational line from her dad, saying: “‘They can knock you down but they can NEVVER knock you out.’ ”
