Peloton

Not too fussed on this to be honest! I've got a mirror in my gym for working out and checking my form against - and I don't exactly need to see my sweaty face and rolls on my TV screen

I don't think many will be that interested in it. Might be useful to start with for some but as you say a mirror can do the same thing. I'd hardly want to focus on another thing on another screen. They didn't even have a very good range of non cycling / running classes when I used them a few months ago.

Like wii fit or connect it'll probably mildly interesting a few times then loses it's novelty - and that's assuming it works well. Cheaper and better to use a real trainer once a month imo.

Will it have ninja fruit like sky glass has?

They'd be better off building a rower or climber but I think they were desperate to release info about this with the stock falling so much. Makes me wonder if they'll even be around in a few more years.

I won’t be getting it, don’t really see the point, I use the screen on my bike to do the strength workouts

 

[Stringyone]

I don’t need it or the heart rate monitor. Strength classes are good but this seems a gimmick.

 

[Kiki999]

apparently they are bringing out a rower. Also rumor that Kendall is bringing out boxing classes

 

[Yel]

I think the rower is far away, there's been rumours about it for a long time. If it was close they'd have released a vid of that to try and stop the share price from falling I recon.

The peloton ig feed is a bit cringe, the response is pretty lukewarm apart from all the blue ticker peloton instructors at the top who are saying how amazing it is

Doesn't look like people will be able to use their own heart rate monitors and will have to use the peloton one.

 

[Kiki999]

I listen to the pelobuddy podcast and I think they said they have filed patents for the rower so I think you're definitely right in it being far away.

Yes they're such bits! I joined the hardcore on the floor and peloton sweaxy strong groups on fb and they're a much nicer vibe.

Yes! The men tend to be the assholes and super self righteous, could not believe the fuss they made over having a pause button like don’t use it if it bothers you ffs

they are awful. I’m only still in it because I get a laugh out of them. It feels very high school! Also seems like it’s becoming a competition for who has the worst sob story (sorry!)

Yes!! It’s mainly the men! Don’t know what their problem is! I’m on the ladies page and it’s a lot better

 

[queenamber]

They just announced boxing classes. Interested to see how that will work!

 

[megsmagoo]

They look good! It’s a program over 8 weeks Im going to give it a go

Report back and let us know!

 

[Stringyone]

Boxing isn’t for me but god they are bringing out new programmes

Not sure if people will be annoyed with me talking about the share price and Mr big drama here, but this thread seems like the best place.

I don't think the ad made by Ryan Reynolds agency is having the quite rebound they were hoping for

Not that the huge falls last week I think were solely down to Mr big dying. Peloton has had some issues for a long time. For a tech company there's very little left to grow and innovate with and so much competition that is taking on their not that impressive library. A new machine would be too niche and is probably already done by other companies (like a rower) and if this Xbox connect like device is the best they can do it doesn't give much hope for the future.

Not that I think they're going bust soon, more they must be pretty close to their full potential. Even with more lockdowns and a better supply chain I expect most people that wanted one would already have it by now.
