Did a ride this morning and got a beta alert for streaming shows during your workout. Didn't try it….but another positive feature, imo.


My buddy showed me that; I think I may try it out tonight

Bringing this one to the top...

Have we gained or lost any Peloton riders. This evening I finales set a personal record I had been wanting. 1200+.

Also, has anyone noticed there less live rides and they are starting to put the lanebreak roses on the workout list?

I pretty much solely do Matt wilpers rides. Way less. I just figured it was because he was splitting his time between the bike, run, and row.

Grats on the milestone Nitro! Anytime I see you in a class you are always killing it!

I mostly do the PZP challenge rides. Only live ride I usually do is Matt's live Saturday morning ridebut been missing it lately so I can get a jump on yard work before the heat kicks in. I have noticed he hasn't had one every Saturday per usual.

I agree. Power Zone content seems to be less frequent these days.

I noticed last night they added a quick "Just You" filter that I like. Will be good for FTP tests

Still doing it. I actually do more of the weight training now than rides. I really enjoy those. Also moved away from so much PZ riding and started doing a variety stuff.

Still riding and still doing PZ rides. Mostly ride with Denis then Matt or Olivia.

Also use the "Track Me" program to track my walks and strength training.

Still striving for an hour each morning between either strength and Tread or I'll string together a couple rides. I haven't really noticed a decrease in Live classes but they rarely fit both my time and training schedule. I much prefer to build a stack for the next morning and know it's queued up.

I don't take live rides, but I suspect with it being summer time, a lot of them are traveling for vacation.

That and a bunch of them are doing "road shows" to try and gin up interest.

how is the company doing overall? I know there were some corporate changes and stock took a nosedive. Haven't heard much lately.

I'm still doing the RedditPZ program. Free to join, and they have a fairly active Discord server

The program is solid, and team rides are well-attended.

Out of curiosity, what's the difference between the RedditPZ and the Power Zone Pack challenges?

Best I can tell, RedditPZ is free and there's no teams or anything. It's also probably a lot smaller than PZP is.

Closest "group" activity is the Sat ride typically has the most people starting at 10am central and people try to get on then.

One dude (Blake) programs the 8-9 weeks and you can follow along as you want. There's a good Discord server as well.

They are taking on this somewhat gruesome/sad lawsuit.
(will settle)

How it that even possible?

I'm doing the discover your PZ's program and will be out of town for a ride. Seems silly to book at the local Peloton store. Should I just get a day pass to a gym and use a regular bike? It's a 4 day trip and I'm afraid if I don't do the ride I'll have to start over.

I haven't done the discover your PZ's so don't know if it'll reset the program or anything, so not speaking on that front. But as someone who's trained for large races (marathons/ironmans) taking 4 days off won't hurt you.

That said, where are you going? Pelobuddy has a finder that shows if gyms, hotels, etc. have Pelotons.

Anyone have one of the aftermarket fans that clip on the handlebars?

Recently moved and went from a room with a fan to one without. Want to get some air flow, but my wife isn't fond of my box fan idea….

Not a clip on, but we use one of these guys:
https://www.amazon.com/Lasko-T42951-Portable-Oscillating-13x13x42-5/dp/B000RL3UJA/ref=asc_df_B000RL3UJA/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167126811300&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=415252236176987165&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1014221&hvtargid=pla-274176497922&psc=1

Works like a charm. Even better I'd you stand it up on a crate to get more airflow to your upper body. Can also oscillate

What's wrong with box fans? I have 2 of them in my room that I'll use for riding and they are thin and easy to move aside when needed.

We're staying in a VRBO in San Clemente, CA for Ohana Fest. I decided to cram all my rides in before we go. 3 rides in 24 hours. The rest will be good for me then come back and start week four.

Looks like Matt has a 120 min PZE ride coming up on the 28th

I won't ride it live because that's too early for me, but absolutely plan to do it that day.

Got on my bike over lunch and suddenly the calibration is wildly off. The output is 1/3 what I would normally be for a given resistance and cadence.

Last ride was Tuesday with no problems. Anyone seeing this?

Something similar happened to me a few months ago. Reverted back to normal my next ride.

A reboot should fix it. Has happened to lots of people this week

120 min PZE ride today done today. It was awesome.

Wilper's was so happy during that ride and everyone showed up big time for it.

Was voluntold to visit our plant in the UK to conduct training last week so I allotted a couple days for sightseeing and flew my wife and I into London. Friday evening I was able to get into the London Studio for a 45min run with Susie Chen. It was a great experience and I'm definitely going to try to collect another studio badge if we're ever in NYC again.

That's awesome!

On a different note...I may be selling my bike. I have my down payment in on a tri-bike so that will become my primary workout bike.

I may still keep the peloton app, at least for some time in the digital space because I do really like the instructors.

Had that twice already. Just reboot it
Lost 30 kg in 4 months (from 100 kilos to 70), and i agree that diet is very important when it comes to weight loss. But it can't be overstated that exercising is also important in helping the journey https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/wellness/embracing-holistic-wellness-a-life-changing-journey/ar-AA1jPrSQ. In my case, exercising is a way to help me overcome my laziness and motivate me better so i don't stray to obesity paths ever again. Plus, it's fun most of the time anyway

Thinking about getting one of these for the GF for Christmas. She has this janky old stationary bike with manual knobs and an LCD counter. Of course I'll probably use it some too. I have a road bike, but I am bored out of my mind on her janky stationary bike.

Thought I'd check Texags.... Holy Cow. Six years old thread that is 119 pages long. So I guess you guys like it? Any pros/cons?

We have a reaaaaalllyy old treadmill too. I was considering that as well, but they make you pay $44 each month for each device? I might do it if you only had to pay one monthly charge. Thoughts on bike vs. treadmill - which is better?

If I get one, it will only be one to make sure we like it.

That code should give you $100 off. I love the bike and my wife loves the floor exercises with the app
