Tunde Oyeneyin started off 2026 with a major accomplishment. Earlier this month, the Peloton instructor was announced as a regular on Season 10 of Tyler Perry’s Sistas, which aired its first episode of the new year on Jan. 7.

Per the outlet, Oyeneyin stars as “Madison Truitt, a powerful, self-assured entrepreneur whose commanding presence and unapologetic ambition have carved her a space in a male-dominated world.” The third episode of Season 10 airs tonight at 9 p.m. ET on BET, and if you need to get caught up, you can find the first pair of episodes available now on BET’s site.

As for Oyeneyin, she is embracing the new project with pride. Less than a week ago, Essence published an interview with the show’s new cast member, who was eager to discuss her role.

“As far as Madison is written now, Season 10, Madison is very much like Tunde,” Oyeneyin told the publication of her character, before diving into how she channels energy before she steps in front of the camera on set. “And so a lot of the times when I was trying to figure out how to play out a scene or respond to another actor, I asked myself, ‘Well, what would Tunde do here?’ So knowing where to take her energy in a scene, I feel like that part felt natural.”

Oyeneyin has earned high praise already from her fellow Peloton instructors along with her own fan base. Back when she originally shared the news that she was joining the show’s cast to Instagram, her fans simply couldn’t hype her up enough.

"I’m so so proud of you following your dreams ❤️,” ESPN reporter and fitness coach Jessica Sims penned.

Fitness instructor Ally Love also chimed in,“Sooooo excited!!! Congrats Tunes. 😍.”

“❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 2026 looking real bright 😍,” someone else observed.

“I am SAT 🍿😯,” another user stated.

Oyeneyin assured that that while she’s adding another title to her already-impressive résumé, she won’t be stepping away from the bike anytime soon. One commenter wrote, “Congrats! Please tell me this doesn't mean you’re leaving Pelaton, though!” The athlete responded humorously, while also easing the commenter’s worries. “Why do you think you can get rid of me that easily 😂,” she quipped.

New episodes of Tyler Perry’s Sistas air at 9 p.m. ET on Wednesdays on BET.
