Robin Arzón, head instructor and VP of programming at Peloton, is a force to be reckoned with. She has built a devoted community through her loyal riders at Peloton and 960k followers on Instagram who are drawn to her high energy, intense drive, and unwavering encouragement, and she’s a two-time best-selling author, writing Shut Up and Run and her most recent children’s book, Strong Mama. But before Arzón was running ultramarathons and training the masses, she had a seven-year career as a corporate lawyer. And that’s not the surprising part: Arzón didn’t even grow up as an athlete. In fact, as a kid, she’d say she was “allergic to exercise.” So how did she become one of the most celebrated trainers today? It started when Arzón found healing from trauma through movement in her 20s, and eventually, her love for athletics eclipsed her career goals as a corporate lawyer.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
