Olivia Amato

Olivia Amato announced her engagement to Daniel Waldron in an Instagram post. She and Waldron have a dog named Tobi.

Outside her Peloton work, Amato has said that she enjoys fashion, skincare, spending time outdoors, caring for plants, and being with family.

Amato studied business and finance at Fordham University and began her professional career on Wall Street. She worked in equity sales before moving into equity sales-trading, where she enjoyed building relationships but disliked spending long hours at a desk.

While working in finance, she used fitness as an outlet and trained to become a boxing instructor. She later entered an instructor-training program at a prominent downtown New York City fitness studio, where she taught for one and a half years before moving to Peloton.

Rebecca Kennedy invited Amato to audition for Peloton, and she passed the audition. Within a year, she was teaching strength, running, and cycling classes on the platform. Her Peloton work also includes tread classes, while her broader fitness programming incorporates cycling, strength training, yoga, cardio challenges, and mental toughness.

Amato describes her coaching style as that of a natural cheerleader who works alongside participants as part of a team. Her classes emphasize persistence, practical encouragement, and building sustainable fitness habits.

Amato grew up in New York playing field hockey, lacrosse, cheerleading, and track. She was a two-time all-state field hockey player and an all-country track runner in high school, and her college cheerleading team won a national championship.

She is a certified NASM personal trainer and a sponsored athlete associated with Puma. She has also partnered with brands including Athletic Greens and Nuun, while using social media to connect with her audience and share fitness and product recommendations.
