In an attempt to reach a new audience, Peloton has recently launched a multi-phase creative campaign to get the attention of millennials. The campaign is titled “Find your push. Find your power.” The idea behind it is that everyone has something different motivating them when it comes to fitness and getting in shape. Peloton wants to express that they are there for support and to help potential customers discover what their “push” is.

In the first phase of the campaign, Peloton is targeting millennial men, and football player brothers T.J. and J.J. Watt are taking the lead. The idea is to leverage the typical friendly sibling rivalry that many men share, especially when it comes to athletic challenges and progress. Competing with someone close to you can be a fun and motivating way to help you push yourself even harder than you have before.

Currently, Peloton’s customer base is two-thirds women, so the company wanted to reach more men and make them aware of how their products could help them take things to the next level. Targeted messaging through relatable and inspiring men like the Watt brothers is a great way to make this happen. The athletes are demonstrating how men can take their running interests from the road to the treadmill and compete with others on the leaderboards. 

Peloton is the perfect brand for those looking to improve their physiques and cardiovascular fitness at home, and this campaign’s display of pro athletes’ workouts and the friendly sibling rivalry many can relate to will hopefully inspire millennial men to give the company a try.

What is rest-pause training?

Rest-pause training is a bodybuilding method or weight training technique where you alternate between mini sets and brief rest periods. People approach rest-pause training in slightly different ways. You could perform a set and stop one rep short of failure, rest for 20-40 seconds, and then power through more reps. The intensity remains high throughout your workout session because you’re only resting just enough to fuel you to perform more reps using the same weight. Arnold Schwarzenegger and other robust bodybuilders have reportedly used this technique.
