If you use the Peloton app, the instructors can often feel like your friends. They coach you right in the comfort of your own home. You take their classes at your convenience and get to know their personalities. And many of them have pretty big following. You can see many of the hashtags on the leaderboard when you’re taking a class. As it turns out, some of the most popular instructors are our neighbors: three Peloton instructors hail from New England.

Peloton instructors are rock stars in their own right. Once you get to know their styles, users decide whose workouts they want to do, based on their mood. Women’s Health recently published a feature that detailed the 14 Best Peloton Instructors For Every Vibe.

Team New England

One of these instructors just released a book and embarked on a promotional tour. Another is a Peloton swiss army knife, teaching anything from strength, to boot camp, to cardio. She was also the captain of her college basketball team and a school teacher before joining Peloton. Lastly, the third instructor is a former television reporter.

Here are three Peloton instructors from New England.
