As Peloton instructor Jess King pointed out, she and her fellow trainers inhabit a fairly unique space within the spectrum of fame. King and the other instructors are superstars within their realm, yet they're also regular people with somewhat typical lives, not movie stars insulated in their Malibu mansions.
They also plug into social media to receive feedback about their classes, which isn't necessarily always a good thing. "What really blows my mind is when people make comments on Facebook and think that I can't see them," King explained in an interview with Men's Journal. "A woman once commented, 'No wonder my husband rides Jessica's rides. He can get lost in her cleavage.' And then a whole thread, 60 or 70 comments, goes on about my boobs. It's like, 'Hello?! I can read this!'"
With that in mind, King has a key message she'd like to impart to people about Peloton instructors, particularly when it comes to social media. "Try not to forget that we're people. It's a really vulnerable thing for us to be on the stage, sweating, half naked, baring our soul," she said. "Sometimes feedback is welcome, but whatever you do, don't talk s**t."
