Peloton is paying $19 million to settle claims it was too slow to report Tread+ safety problems that led to injuries.

Eeeeek

There has been some rumours that she's quite religious and conservative which doesn't really fit with Peloton's ethos. This is potentially why Daniel commented that because he also had some more conservative-leaning opinions on covid etc .

Have you all seen Bradley's news, had a cancer scare. Seems to be a massive gap from the Peloton team rallying around. Leanne liked but not commented. Hannah nothing, Cody nothing along with many more.

I’ve just seen that peloton have now added the class plan to strength classes which is great news! I can now avoid lunges

I can avoid planks! Hoorah!!!

Noooo I wonder who it was! Chase left recently?

It was a guy called Oliver. Was quite some time ago. I’ll see if I can find a link.

Chase has left to start his own business. Unlike some who’ve left on bad terms (Marianna one of the Deu tread instructors being one of them) they all still follow him and interact with him. He was also at selena’s wedding.

Peloton users. Who are your fave instructors? I seem to circle round to Ben + Wilpers on the bike and Becs, Wilpers + Adrian for running/strength. Who am I missing out on?

Definitely Cody for bike, I also like robin and jess king, Olivia if I want my butt kicked.

jess sims is my favourite strength and bootcamp instructor, she has almost like a cross-fit style of training which I like

 

[heretoreaditall2019]

I didn't realise they had quite so many showrooms across the UK (28),

They’re also abysmal - I’m not shitting on retail staff in a pandemic but there’s something wrong with them - either Peleton training is shit or their pay is so I don’t blame the staff for it. But my husband was hellbent on getting one and yet we’ve never managed to order one despite 3/4 visits to two different stores!

I joined Leanne’s crew page and the Roses Rebels page for about a week, they’re just too much aren’t they?! I really enjoy my bike and the whole thing, but some people are out of control on those fan pages

 

[Vixen88]

I choose something below 7.0/10 for something easier. Recovery rides are good. Also agree Bradley and Hannah C tend to be easier.

If you find a ride you really fancy though, good music, you can just hide the metrics on the bottom of the screen and do your own thing.

The sacked(?) Irish instructor Daniel left a comment on Kendall’s leaving post saying ‘yes Freedom’ (with a lot more s’s and a lot more m’s at the end, plus all caps ) so definitely must be something…

 

[aimz_yeah]

Just did my first (beginner) run on the treadmill. Jeez it’s nippy! Never been on such a responsive treadmill. That button press on speed can really catch you unawares at first

I actually preferred it because it can be completely other way. I barely do live classes and am not involved in any of the communities, but having it at home and not having to go anywhere works really well for me. Nearest gym is 15-20min away, spin classes don’t really exist either. I find hopping on the tread or bike (or both in a longer session) so easy to do because it is just there at home. But also I do accept I was never interested in having a PT, which obviously is a huge draw for the gym.

The fact I don’t have to go anywhere and my bike and tread are just THERE waiting for me with my weights is so much better than trooping to a gym and having to be around other people
Plus I’m more confident doing new moves like Turkish get ups in the house than if I was around other people

 

[Ladybird90]

There is a broke bitches of peloton group too

I need to find this group

 

[megsmagoo]

Cody is my favourite but that’s the beauty of peloton - something for everyone

I did the 20 minute robin tabata ride on Friday and my dayssss I was still heavily breathing like half an hour later

Oooh the plot thickens…interesting!

I don't think buying any shares would be a good idea! They were falling from the peak early this year before this all. I'm not convinced they will continue to grow much - they haven't successfully managed to go outside of the spinning niche and so many competitors have eaten away at that potential market.

 

[TaylorMomsen]

We are getting the tread and the bike. The tread does look shorter than a regular treadmill - is that the issue?

I think covid has shown that some people like to be treated like infants and taking personal responsibility isn't popular these days.

I think the main question is do other treadmills have safety features that will cut off if something is being dragged under? They'll probably do some software updates to warn or add more limited safety features but it'll probably need a new model / hard fix to prevent the issue from ever happening.

Think the issue is the belt at the back is just goes straight under, and most other models have like plastic that covers the belt at the back - I am so bad at describing so I've done a side by side to show what I mean haha

 

[Champagnecampaign]

I've been thinking of joining my local gym but can't justify it on top of the Peloton membership. Can anyone recommend other stuff on the app/bike? I feel like all use it for is the cycling rides so probably not getting the most out of it!

have a look at hardcore on the floor HCOTF on Facebook/Instagram they make up daily weight/strength stacks. I add these in to my usual bike routine

 

[Penny for them]

I find myself being so lazy in this heat. I will usually do 3-4 times a week but for the past one month, I am doing max 2 times a week. I need to find my motivation again

I get this,my advice ,get on do low impact 10 or15 min ,take away any pb pressure,take it slow,once your legs get going you remember how good it
Feels x

 

[so_u_thinkimskinnyyy]

I've got a streak going but on my rest days (two per week) I'll do a meditation, yoga or a stretch
The sea of blue dots is so pleasing to me haha

same here omg i love it!!

Word on the groups is that your Apple Watch will now connect with the original bike which is great news! Shame I spent 60 quid on a watch link that is now no use to me though
