196: Finding Your Yes’s with Peloton Instructor Emma Lovewell

In this episode, I sit down with Emma Lovewell, beloved Peloton instructor and fitness leader, to discuss her experience of writing her new book Live, Learn, Love Well: Lessons from a Life of Progress, Not Perfection, and the non-linear journey she took to becoming a Peloton instructor. Emma shares what she’s learned about the value of saying yes to everything once, taking risks and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, and why experience is more fruitful than reward. We discuss her non-competitive relationship with her fellow Peloton leaders, what it’s like being one of the few public-facing Asian American fitness instructors, how she creates her workouts and those sought-after playlists, and more.
