There are no more Pelotons at the UFC headquarters.
During an appearance on Theo Von’s podcast, Dana White vowed to remove all Pelotons from UFC HQ after Von revealed that the bike manufacturer threatened to pull their sponsorship and asked him to take down his interview with Robert Kennedy Jr.
“Peloton, what do they sell stationary bikes? Peloton, sells stationary bikes and they have a problem with Robert F’in Kennedy, F you Peloton, who the F are they? Are you F’ing kidding me?
“Do we have Pelotons in the gym? We’re getting rid of them. We’re getting rid of the Pelotons. Pelotons are out of the gym.”
White kept his promise and replaced the Pelotons in the UFC PI gym with Peloton competitor Echelon.

Apparently, White was able to get Echelon to sponsor Theo Von’s podcast as well.
“Echelon called me up, they replaced the bikes (at UFC HQ), and they’re going to do a deal with Theo Von, and he can have Robert Kennedy Jr. or anybody F’ing else on his podcast because this is America and you can do whatever the F you want to do when you own your F’ing show”
It’s probably the right time to get an Echelon bike considering the Peloton app went down on Thanksgiving.
Peloton going for a world record with the Turkey Burn ride and having their servers crash for ~20 minutes is very on brand.
