Also, my husband and I really enjoy doing work out classes together when we can so the Peloton would just be a supplemental work out on days our schedules didn't work out to do a class together or to get a quick cardio workout in on days we do something else.

Just get two!
But how can you make the bike the centerpiece of your $2.5 million home when there are 2 of them? Would you have to build a second glass atrium with a view of the swiss alps to put the second one in?

They habe made small hardware tweaks - think on gen 3 or 4 now.

The main thing on current one I think that could be fixed is to have the screen be able to rotate. Would make the bike exercies using the bike's screen easy to do.
That's a big one, having the ability for the screen to rotate. It seems like it would be nice to rotate the screen and use it for some of their off the bike work outs as opposed to have to set up your ipad or something to use their ap when you have the bike right there.

I got one of the support reps to mail me the calibration tools for free, and, after recalibrating my bike, my output has changed drastically.

For a ride two weeks ago vs this week, with the same heart rate and length, I'm averaging about 20-30% less output than I used to. For a 45 minute class, I used to do around 650 output regularly, but my most recent two rides after calibration have been 500-515 range.

I guess it's good for it to be more accurate (and the average output now is close to what I get on my actual bike trainer), but I was shocked at how far off my old calibration was. It makes comparing myself to my old rides now useless, so calibrate with caution.

I have a neighbor who has theirs and they were getting huge totals for classes compared to where I was and I was higher on resistance and cadence. They ended up re-calibrating his and it is now in line where mine is and I have to say he is not happy with his drop in totals. I told him welcome to the real world.

Yeah, The calibration is weird and somewhat inconsistent. I put out very low totals, lower than people I know beyond any doubt I'm out working. I have a buddy who I can ride into the ground on the trail, but he crushes me ( usually doubles my output) on the peloton. I really just try to focus at beating my own totals. I can measure my own progress regardless.

Wilpers is my favorite, followed closely by Dennis and Hannah.

Ok, I am a road bike rider but I bought my Peloton for days when I can't get out to ride or inclement weather days.
I like riding outdoors.

I am enjoying the heck out of the workouts but some of those trainers are annoying as hell.
I like Wilpers ok.
My question is that I haven't had enough time to explore all of the options of the bike.
Do y'all have any suggestions other than taking the spin classes. Maybe scenic rides at my own pace and direction as far as HIIT or something?
Just looking for options without having to search.
Thanks!

Try out all the instructors - guessing you will find a few you like more than the rest

Rest up for a day or two and then do the FTP test to get your power zones set. It is a lot easier to use those zones than to figure out what ranges you should be in using perceived effort. Once you know your zones, you can adjust your workouts to whatever your goals are. Retest every month or two since your FTP will increase over time if you are doing a lot of rides.

Check out Steven Little's rides. He stopped being an instructor in 2017, but he is easily my favorite.

He doesn't do any arm workouts, and does a lot of heart rate zone workouts. I find him way less annoying than many of the instructors, who seem to talk endlessly just to fill otherwise dead air. Most of his talking relates to how you should currently be feeling and what's coming up next.

On many of his longer heart rate based rides, he completely stops talking for several minutes and just lets you maintain a pace while the music plays in the background. It's really nice not hearing someone babble on and on for a 60+ minute ride.

I agree on trying other instructors and getting your FTP test done/zones established. Then you know right where your effort is instead of guessing.

Having said that I personally don't get anything out of the scenic rides at all. It bores me to tears. If you just want to ride to ride then I guess it's a good option, but just not for me.

I use the filters on the on demand rides all the time to cut out classes with arms, instructors I don't like, etc. maybe tinker around with those a little more and see if you find some classes that keep your attention better.

I like using the scenic rides for recovery, when my legs are trashed and I just want to spin them, but I don't want to do a full class. You can just kind of get on and ride mindlessly without needing to pay attention to an instructor.

Finished the last power zone challenge and have really seen my #'s go up...highly recommend signing up. I did just the 3 days a week one and would mix in another non power zone ride to not have all my rides with Matt or Dennis.

I did the exact same thing. I actually retested like 2 weeks into the challenge and then again at the end and in total my FTP output went up 34% during the course of those 8 weeks. Granted, I was new to all of this so 20% of that came in the first 2 weeks as my technique improved and got acclimated to the bike. I love the fact that
Power Zone training is very data driven and you can effectively measure your progress.

I really like the power zone classes, but haven't tried the challenges yet. I may have to give it a shot.

How often do y'all do live classes? I feel like we should all try to schedule a ride one day...something tells me we'd hit new personal bests.
