3 Ways to Root Your Campus Culture in Wellness

College is a time of transition, new challenges, and a lot of decision making. Trying to balance it all can feel precarious—and sometimes overwhelming. The Lumina Foundation-Gallup State of Higher Education 2023 report found that almost half of bachelor’s students “frequently” experience emotional stress, while 69% cited it as the primary reason they considered stopping classes. Read on for three ways to put Peloton to work at your campus to help students and staff manage stress, and in turn, find more time for productivity and pursuit of their passions. 

Make Wellness Routines Easier to Prioritize

Meditation and exercise are powerful tools to help combat stress. According to Mayo Clinic staff, “the psychological and physical benefits of exercise can…help improve mood and reduce anxiety.” But prioritizing well-being with a busy student or staff schedule can be tough. Peloton on campus makes it easier to fit a wellness routine into any schedule, with thousands of motivating classes, inspirational instructors, and a powerful community they can access anywhere, anytime. In fact, 64 percent of students surveyed said they would use their school gym more if they had access to the Peloton Bike or App*.

Level up your fitness center

With their compact 4’ x 2’ footprints, Peloton Bike and Bike+ are perfect for any space, from gyms to athletic facilities to student housing. Add Peloton Row for an unbeatable rowing experience for any level, beginner to advanced. Plus, with both Row and Bike+, students and staff can turn the screen to hit the floor for strength training, barre classes, yoga flows, and more. And thanks to commercial unlimited-user software, everyone on campus can easily create an account, ride or row, and track their stats across repeat workouts—at no cost to them.

Make workouts easy to work in

The Peloton App makes it easy to access thousands of classes—on or off a Bike or Row. That means dynamic content that fits any mood, fitness goals, experience level, or schedule. Students and staff can curate wellness routines that work best for them—from a grounding meditation before a test to guided walks between classes to rowing workouts that bring on the sweat, and so much more. And discounted pricing for students—more than 45% off an App One subscription—takes tight student budgets into account. The Peloton App can also be offered as a corporate wellness benefit to school staff to ensure faculty, administration, and all teams on campus can make their own well-being a priority and continue to show up for its students. 

Now more than ever, students need ways to combat stress so they can achieve their goals. And when schools give students ways to prioritize their physical and mental well–being, students can also prioritize meeting their goals.
