Barkle

From dust to drive: The Barkle story

Barkle didn’t start in a bored room or in some garage—it began with a shiny Peloton bike and a personal struggle. Its founder—once overwhelmed by weight and stress, found salvation in an unexpected place: the British Bulldogs, a vibrant UK-based Peloton riders’ group. Their encouragement reignited a passion for cycling, transforming a stagnant routine into a daily 10-mile ride. That spark of community support became the heartbeat of Barkle, the app Barkle’s founder and his team created, now empowering thousands of Peloton, Tread, and Row users worldwide.

A community ignites a vision

The Bulldogs were just the beginning. Soon, Barkle’s creator connected with other Peloton tribes—the Lionesses, Unbreakable Links, MMM, Bonkers, Kilted Riders, and more. Each group brought warmth, motivation, and a shared drive to improve. Health and energy levels soared, proving the power of collective spirit. As a product designer, an opportunity was spotted to give back—pulling in decades of design expertise and taking the plunge. In 2020, fuelled by this thriving ecosystem, Barkle was born—a fitness challenge app built for and with the Peloton community.
