If you’re a Peloton devotee, you’ve likely seen a particularly clever or witty screen name from a fellow rider appear on the leaderboard. Lots of people enjoy the challenge of creating a username that makes them stand out because hey, it’s 2021, and we need to put our creativity somewhere. But how do you pick a Peloton name, and if you end up choosing one you don’t like, can you change it down the road? We’ve got those answers for you and more, plus 100 funny Peloton leaderboard names to choose from.
How do you pick a Peloton name?
You want to pick a good one, since it doubles as the username you use when you log in and the name that pops up on everyone’s screen when you’re riding—and hopefully the leaderboard at some point! You do have to stick with the 15-character limit when choosing a name. And remember: letters, numbers and the underscore symbol only. Also, you have to make sure that the name is available. You might pick one that highlights a hobby or your profession, or even where you live. Maybe you use a version that incorporates your name, or something that pokes fun at yourself or celebrates an accomplishment. Maybe you can work a pun in there somehow, too. “I’ve seen tons of creative ones go that route, like “LoggingMiles” for the name Miles,” says John Fawkes, a personal trainer, nutritional counselor. “Sure, these names don’t show you off quite as much on the leaderboard. But they’ll put a smile on people’s faces, which can be a gamechanger during a difficult session.” And let’s be honest, a lot of us have userane and password fatigue—so it never hurts to just pick something that you know you can remember.
How do I choose a good Peloton screen name?
Want to get a name check from an instructor during a ride? Pick a username that’s easy to read and call out. A long name with lots of numbers and no capitalization might make that a little tricky. “I’m a big fan of a pun. I’d say pick something you love and make a spinning pun out of it,” says Sierra Trade, who goes by #FreddieSpinzeJr.“Please consider the poor instructors who might have to give you a shoutout in the middle of a cardio burst, and all of the riders who have to listen to them struggle through it. I’m looking at you, HK721DJ.” “If you’re looking for a shout out during a live ride, the instructor is going to stick with PG-rated user names,” adds Kayla Girgen, RD, LD, a registered dietitian, certified personal trainer and founder of Nutrition Untapped. “Avoid profanity and choose a name that beams positivity. Instructors love that.” If you’re really stuck, you can always go with the Peloton Name Generator, and see what karma sticks you with. Fill in your name, hobbies, interests, and a few other pieces of information, and hit “spin.” But of course, if you prefer to stick with something fairly simple, that’s perfectly okay, too.
Can you change your Peloton name?
Here’s the good news for those of you who blanked out and picked something kind of boring, sill or uninspiring when asked to choose their name: You can change it at any time you want to. You’re not saddled with your first attempt for the rest of your career as a Peloton user. As you learn more about the culture of the Peloton world, you may even want to incorporate some element of that into your next username. Some have even incorporated their favorite instructor’s name, like #MrsWannaBWilpers.
What are the usernames of Peloton coaches?
Ask your closest Peloton fanatic friend for the name of their favorite Peloton instructor or coach—we can guarantee they’ll have an opinion. In fact, they’ll probably act like they’re on a first name basis with their favorites, who often have fan clubs or crews of dedicated followers (#boocrew, anyone?). And to take any pressure off you to come up with a catchy name, you’ll notice that many of them went the simple route, too. Here are a few instructors to check out:

Celebrity peloton names
Many celebrities are reportedly devoted to their Pelotons, too. Think: David Beckham, Michael Phelps, Leonardo DiCaprio, Usain Bolt, and others. But many compete under an alias, so they don’t have to reveal their real identity. So it can be hard to uncover their usernames (and some change them when their screen names are revealed.) A few screen names that allegedly belong to celebrities: 91. Cam Newton, NFL player: aceboog1e 92. Clint Avril, NFL player: MrSackFumble 93. Rory McIlroy , PGA player: rors89 94.
