Robin Arzón

Robin Arzón has spent more than a decade asking people to move, but the world she has built around that message now stretches far beyond a Peloton class. In 2026 alone, she added another New York Times bestseller, launched her own weekly show and brought her programming to Puerto Rico for the first time.

Her latest book, Eat to Hustle, arrived in March and became Arzón’s fourth New York Times bestseller. Created with registered dietitian Dalina Soto, the cookbook brings her approach to performance into the kitchen through 75 high-protein, plant-based recipes, each with its macronutrients broken down. The project also took her on a four-city book tour and to television appearances including The Kelly Clarkson Show and The Drew Barrymore Show.

It followed a 2025 that expanded Arzón’s reach in other directions. Peloton released her first full instructor apparel collection, while Mattel created a one-of-a-kind Robin Arzón Barbie as part of the introduction of Barbie’s first doll with Type 1 diabetes. The miniature Arzón even included diabetes technology inspired by the devices she wears herself, giving another kind of visibility to a condition she has long spoken about publicly.

By February 2026, she had also moved into a new format with Project Swagger, a weekly video podcast launched with Vox Media. The half-hour show gives Arzón more room to talk about the ideas that have increasingly become part of her work, from ambition and productivity to parenting, wellness and mental strength.

But one of the year’s most personal moments came in April. At the Jardín Botánico de Caguas, Arzón taught her first Peloton classes in Puerto Rico, more than a decade after joining the company. The daughter of a Cuban mother and Puerto Rican father, she led bodyweight strength and core sessions at the 12th edition of the Me, Myself & I wellness festival, moving between English and Spanglish.

That homecoming carries particular meaning within a career built on reinvention. Arzón left law in 2012 and joined Peloton in 2014, eventually becoming its Vice President of Fitness Programming and Head Instructor. What began with teaching classes has grown into books, programming, media and businesses of her own.

Puerto Rico brought those parts of Arzón’s story together. More than a decade after joining Peloton, she returned to the island with a career that now reaches far beyond fitness.
