According to Rolling Stone, Peloton Verzuz will serve as an extension of Peloton’s Artist Series and “celebrate the iconic music of two legendary artists, in one friendly competition, across multiple disciplines.”
The first musically-inclined workouts are being rolled out on Monday (March 29) with friendly a friendly face-off between Team Monica and Team Brandy, which fans saw battle on Verzuz last summer.
“When you look at Verzuz and Peloton, you’d be like, ‘Oh snap.’ It just sounds right,” Verzuz co-founder Timbaland said in a video accompanying the announcement. “We knew we had something that was so disruptive.”
