everything else has been available on the apps so I would imagine the rower will be the same.

I don't think the rower will be the same.

Not used to doing 30 minute runs on the tread, but that has been a decent series so far. Good back and forth and the trainers still cut in when needed to prompt a change in pace.

Have they made an announcement to make you think that?

Would be odd for the rower to be different.

What's your typical run? I'm always trying to squeeze 3 miles in so that's all I've done.

Protects their brand new investment though.

right...but how is that different from the Tread?

During the summer, zero running.
When it cools off, the neighbors and I do 30 minutes, 3 miles around the neighborhood MWF's. We have Treads, so on weekends we've been doing the Ashton Kutcher (or other 30 minute) runs.

The company is fighting for its life right now and making it exclusive would protect their R&D and production costs.

They should've done the same thing with Tread and Bike in my opinion.

I don't necessarily disagree but that hasn't been their MO so far.

If you have been following the new CEO's game plan, he really wants to get the membership numbers up for "Peloton Digital" so I would doubt they'll make it exclusive.

Also have to think the buyer pool for a rower is small compared to Bikes and Treadmills in any case, so probably won't move the needle one way or the other.

Saw this blurb on their Facebook page:

"Rowing content will be available at launch on Peloton Row only. Please stay tuned for more information soon!"

It will not be on the app. At least at launch.

They have to hold fast on the rower since they came in at 4x a Concept2 rower and 30% more than Hydrow.

Yikes. That's going to be a tough sell.

Bet that price drops fairly quickly. Those are gonna be slow off the rack with that price tag

I'm curious to see what they do. I feel like they did their competitors a favor by having people start looking around and seeing what's out their on the rowing market. I looked at Hydrow's Facebook page and they pounced.

Arent rowers somewhat of a niche product to begin with? And its an exercise that is easier to 'cheat' and suffer from bad form, I've found that rowing gets boring after about 10-15 minutes. but maybe they know this and why they add the "15 minutes or less, you can get an efficient workout that checks off your cardio and strength training for the day" language to their advertising.

I wish they would have instead reworked the slatted treadmill and/or increase the HP of the motor. I'd but one in a heartbeat

everyone is different, but I had the Concept2 for about 6-9 months and did get pretty bored with it.

Having classes might help, but it wasn't for me.

Any of ya'll doing the Tread classes?

I watched the Ashton/CP3 one and it was actually pretty cool. Ashton is training for the marathon to support his charity. Worth checking out if you have a treadmill.

I do tread classes fairly often, when I can't/don't run outside. I find the 30min classes are too short as the first ~10min is a warmup leaving only ~20min of actual training. The 45min classes are a good length but Peloton really seems to focus on the 20-30min classes so there's not that much content for longer runs. Becs and Matt are my favorite Tread instructors. I also quite enjoy the scenic runs for time + an audiobook or podcast.

Regarding the rowing machine, it seems idiotic that peloton would limit the rowing content to those that own a peloton rowing machine. If sales are slumping for bike+ and the Tread at a lower cost of entry what data do they have to support introducing a considerably more expensive, and less versatile, piece of equipment? I will be very disappointed if I can't take a peloton rowing class on my C2.

I would agree. I generally ignore the warmup period and get going a bit quicker than they instruct.

Accidentally found the Baby Rhino ride this morning.

Woof

This is the hardest ride I've taken on the site. There are a couple of others that may rival it, but if I ever take this ride again it will be too soon.

Edit for those interested: Baby Rhino

For those doing the latest challenge, guess what is waiting for you Monday

Rode it Wednesday when the schedule was released. Pay no attention to where I am relative to my zones. I was off the bike for over 9 months before I started this challenge and lost a lot of power. I manually set my FTP because I wasn't ready to test before the challenge and probably set it a bit low.

Every Hilton to have a peloton by the end of the year

As a Hilton Diamond member, this is amazing.

Just did a ride on our RC cruise. This boat has four of them.

That is great to hear. Hope other hotel chains follow suit.

Damn. I really liked Daniel.

Damn I liked him as well. He was hurt earlier this year and missed a bunch of time.

This is unfortunate...that post really lacks the traditional 'bubbly feel good' that Peloton normally tries to exude, so I'm wondering if this wasn't exactly amicable.

Have a feeling it is, but it can't be that serious if they plan on keeping the content.

That's just about the same thing that every manager sends out to our technology group when someone in IT leaves.

And if you want to get really technical, what's Peloton other than a fitness-based IT Company?

Looks like Daniel is suing peloton... https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2022/10/12/ex-peloton-instructor-daniel-mckenna-files-1-8m-suit/amp/
