"It\\u2019s really special when your friend becomes family."

Some friendships build, grow, and develop over time. Others are instant. For Peloton instructors Jess Sims and Kirsten Ferguson, the best friendship was immediate. In the final episode of Friendship Fest Season 2, Jess and Kirsten talk about how they met (through Peloton, naturally), why they hit it off right away, and what it\'s like when a friend becomes family. Plus, "the Starbucks story" that Jess is still mad about, what it\'s like being Peloton-famous, and why it was so important for Kirsten to be there when Jess ran the 2022 Boston Marathon.
