About

Get 'Em Banned refers to a viral video turned reaction video featuring former Peloton instructor Kendall Toole requesting that a user be banned for misconduct. The video first gained traction on TikTok and later X/Twitter. Following the virality of the video, the phrase "Get 'em banned. We don't do that here" has since been adopted as popular slang used online.

Origin

Peloton is a U.S. based fitness company that sells internet-connected exercise equipment and offers subscription virtual instructor-led workout classes, which are accessed through Peloton equipment and allow users to follow along in real time with a professional trainer. The clip is derived from a 20-minute Tabata ride with instructor Kendall Toole, which originally aired in August 2023.

In an interview with Cosmopolitan, the former Peloton instructor recalls the incident that sparked her reaction in the viral clip, claiming that a hateful and offensive leaderboard name on the platform had somehow evaded moderation.
