So, what happened to Jenn Sherman at the beginning of the year?

In the New Year, just as folks were hitting their Pelotons hard in order to stick to those resolutions, the self-described "Peloton OG" was taking a break from leading classes. Not exactly ideal timing, but it seems Jenn couldn't help but take a breather.

Via her Stories on Instagram, Jenn decided to share what was going on with her so that her fans would worry too much, saying she wanted to "cut to the chase" and address "the elephant in the room."

Then, she revealed she was dealing with some medical issues that weren't too serious, thankfully. "I am totally fine," she told her followers, indicating she'd make a full recovery.

However, for at least a few weeks, her doctors did not give her medical clearance to come back to teaching live classes.

Jenn was sure to reassure her devoted followers that she wasn't leaving Peloton, and definitely planned to hop back on her cycle as soon as she was medically cleared to do so.

"You wouldn’t want me to come back sooner than I can, right?" Jenn teased about the issue she referred to as "annoying," but didn't offer more color on, at least at time of writing.

"So thank you for being patient," Jenn told fans next. "No, I’m not going anywhere and I’m going to be back as soon as I can be back, as soon as my doctor gives me the thumbs up. I’m hoping that that is real soon and I will update you as I go.”
