When Hannah Corbin first joined Peloton, the brand was little more than a startup. An Alvin Ailey–trained dancer who specialized in aerial acro­ba­tics­, Corbin performed in eclectic off-Broadway shows like Fuerza Bruta and Queen of the Night, and supplemented her performing career by teaching dance and fitness classes. A pro­ducer on a nightlife show she was doing asked her and Jess King (now a Peloton superstar) about teaching for a relatively new company that was looking for strong personalities who loved to work out and were comfortable in front of the camera.
