2021 Annual Luncheon

Meet Robin Arzón: Best-Selling Author, Peloton Instructor & Executive, & Ultramarathoner!

Robin Arzón wears many capes – Peloton instructor and executive, ultramarathoner, and best-selling author. Robin, of Cuban and Puerto Rican heritage, is also a new mom and a person living with type 1 diabetes.

New York Times best-selling author of “Shut Up And Run”, Robin discovered her passion for athletics after healing from a traumatic experience through movement. She fearlessly left behind a successful law career to embark on new adventures in the health and wellness space, and has since reinvented herself into an avid ultra-marathoner and renowned fitness coach.

As Vice President of Fitness Programming and Head Instructor at Peloton, she believes that sweat transforms lives, and her story is living proof. She successfully partners with major lifestyle and fitness brands, using her powerful influence to connect directly with consumers through social media. In 2020, she was named one of the most influential people on Fortune Magazine’s “40 Under 40” list. Her superpower is to redefine, reform, and rethink possibility through movement.
