It's been a while since I came back to this thread, but two years later, absolutely love my Peloton!

All instructors have their +/- to teaching (and motivating) their classes. I've pretty much found Wilpers, Dennis and Ben as my go to instructors. I can tolerate most of them and enjoy mixing it up.

With Leanne, play the over/under on the number of times you will hear here say the following in a 30 minute class:

• Yes to you Peloton!
• Sparkly fitness bubble
• Oar Mohr
• When I was in dance...

I'm pretty much locked in with the PZ instructors excluding CdE for all the reasons mentioned.

Kendall's metal rides are a special kind of pain. I've only done warm ups / cool downs with Bradley Rose, but he reminds me of one of my best friends growing up. Need to get some of his classes on the books.

I'm the same, I almost exclusively take Matt, Denis, and then Emma's classes. I've taken quite a few Bradley Rose classes now and find him so endearing and entertaining.

Apparently he had a stroke about 3 years ago and was told he'd never be able to have an active lifestyle again and has recovered and been at Peloton a year. Thought it was a pretty cool story.

Come on man, you didn't include Leanne's go to motto "down and dusted"

Leanne is cheesy but ill take her class if I'm in the right mood for it.

I did Morton's 30 min PZ ride from a day or so ago. Holy smokes, 2 min @ zone 4 and 2 minutes @ zone 5 was awful.

Nice! Alex's Ride to Greatness rides start again on Jan. 27th. Basically a competition between two teams on which can provide the highest output (average of all riders) in 20 minutes.

I enjoyed the first one. Glad to see he is bringing it back.

This is troubling

• Peloton is temporarily halting production of its connected fitness products as consumer demand wanes and the company looks to control costs, according to internal documents obtained by CNBC.
• The company said in a confidential presentation dated Jan. 10 that demand for its connected fitness equipment has faced a "significant reduction" around the world due to shoppers' price sensitivity and amplified competitor activity.
• Peloton plans to report fiscal second-quarter results on Feb. 8 after the market closes.

They've brought in McKinsey to help and this is probably just a measure to see what the operation looks like without those costs coming in as part of their analysis. Foley needs to go and the board bring in a more experienced CEO.

yeah... they are cleaning up the books for a buyout. I've seen this before.

I don't claim to be a consultant but what does looking at the cost structure for an equipment manufacturer that isn't manufacturing equipment tell you?

I think it's more just a matter of them over estimating demand.

I do agree that they'll likely be bought at some point.

Apple could pay cash for them without blinking an eye at their current market cap, opening up manufacturing synergies and helping with PTON's biggest variable expense, music licensing.

Pelotons run on Android, which would be a slight problem.

everyone says apple, but it could just as well be Amazon

The music licensing always been an issue. How did they pay for the Beyonce, Taylor Swift and now these David Bowie courses? None of those artists give up their rights on the cheap.

apparently by overspending. Probably gave them all shares in the company too.

Right before PTON went public the music industry went after them... I think they had to make an agreement and ended up not doing very well. They pay much higher than any of the pure streaming services, but I'm guessing part of it is that they play a fraction of music that the other platforms do.

I don't think that comparison is fair, you not only need a license to stream the music but a sync license because it's part of a live broadcast. It's tough for PTON.

Interesting because both Warner music and NBCUniversal were pre-IPO shareholders (along with Mila/Ashton Kutcher, Anthony Keidis, Amy Schumer, Dua Lipa, Ella Goulding...) as disclosed in the company's S-1. It would be a nice hedge and possible leverage play for both those media companies.

The Tread recall has really been hurting the brand. We probably would have purchased the original Tread by now if they could have figured out the redesign. Instead we'll likely purchase a treadmill for half the cost and just use the app

What's the going price for a used Bike (not Bike+)? Thinking of putting mine up for sale, I have just been running more and more with less time for the bike.

Are you in Houston? I think I can connect you to a buyer.

In Denver, but headed to Houston in March, butt I'm sure that will be too much of a wait/hassle

Imo 1200 is more than fair.

I paid 1500 for mine in the height of the peloton grab

Anyone have a fix for the No Command error?

Never had it but google shows this as the solution in case you haven't tried it yet:

Press and hold the power button and "volume up" buttons at the same time.
Once the screen turns on, let go of both buttons at the same time.
Use the volume down button to scroll to the menu item that says "Wipe Cache Partition". Press the power button to select it.
Once this process completes, use the power button to reset your Peloton.
If the steps above don't work, or you don't get to the system screen to select "Wipe Cache Partition", try again, but only hold the power and volume up button for 3 seconds.

Kendall has back to back Punk and Metal rides about to start.

Will have to bookmark them for later.

I did them live back to back with 10 minutes of upper body with Daniel McKenna in between.

Kendall was all mad during the metal ride and angry at the world when 15 minutes before that she was all pop punk happy. Typical women mood swings

Has anyone tried the Peloton boxing classes? Do you need any gear or is it just air?

Growing up I listened to the punk music Kendall plays. Gives me all kinds of Warped Tour reminders, I appreciate when she does them.

Today's was pretty solid, I stayed above the resistance from 10 to 20% much of the ride.

Bradley Rose does a lot of pop punk rides. His rides tend to be on the less intense side.

Did y'all see that Tannehill is leading one of Alex's groups?

That Dennis Eminem ride was awesome. would do again.
