Inclusive of both the club's men's and women's teams, the focus will be on enhancing the experience for the LFC and Peloton communities, by introducing supporters to Peloton's world-class content, which can be experienced anytime, anywhere and wherever people are on their fitness journey.
Liverpool FC and Peloton will also team up to provide exclusive LFC content on the Peloton platform and will come together to also create unforgettable experiences for LFC fans and Peloton Members.
In addition, Peloton now has a presence at the AXA Training Centre and at LFC's current pre-season training camp in Germany.

This is a truly unique partnership and we're excited about growing and activating this meaningful relationship to benefit both LFC and Peloton communities.
"Both LFC and Peloton recognise the vital importance of communities, how we at LFC look after our communities is a central part of our sustainability programme, The Red Way. Similarly, Peloton has built up a nearly seven million strong passionate community since launching, just over ten years ago.
"It's particularly pleasing that we've been able to put our own staff, those who work so hard behind the scenes, front and centre in the video to mark this incredible new partnership.
"Together we will provide Liverpool FC fans and Peloton members with the best exclusive LFC content possible and remarkable and memorable one-of-a-kind experiences."
