Peloton

New to this thread but I am desperate to discuss Kendall leaving with someone!! I do think she’s a little preachy but her classes are tough and I love the pop punk and rock/metal ones. Her song choices since announcing she was leaving have been SO SNIDE! I need to know what’s happened, it really feels like she’s been sacked.

My bike comes tomorrow OMG I am so excited! it was totally inspired by this thread. I love spin classes and have really missed them. It’s the only exercise I have ever actually enjoyed, I’m such a music-based exerciser!

I’d love to know of anyone’s favourite euphoric rides, that have really amazing building music? I’m definitely going to try the pop stuff but I do love house music which I’ve heard is less prevalent.

Does anyone use their own music while following a class?

The EDM and Club Bangers rides are my fave! Also Ben did a Ministry of Sound Ibiza series which was so good. The best workout music!!

So happy to see this thread! My Peloton bike came last week. I'm obsessed already, it's actually hard not to use it every day (my bum/legs haven't adjusted yet, in fact today I've ordered a gel seat to go over the top). Much like @Cloak spin is the only cardio I genuinely enjoy and I'm absolutely loving being able to choose a class by artist, I never like the soundtracks at gym spin classes.

Give it about 10 rides and your bum will be adjusted

Ok I bought a treadmill, not a peloton one and it’s mainly to get my steps in, but are there any tread instructors you would recommend? I can’t run to save my life but i used to before knee surgery! There’s no incline on it, do most classes have incline sections or is it more speed focused?

Power walks are your friend if you can't do the incline! If they do say an incline just go a bit fastsr
Personally I love jess King, jess sims, Adrian Williams, Andy speer, matt wilpers and matty maggiacomo

If anyone is after some structure to their strength workouts I recommend following #hardcore on the floor. They post new daily workouts and mine today was
- 10 min jlo core
- 10 minute resistance bands
- 20 min upper body strength

I did this after a 30 min Jess sims lower body bootcamp and am deceased.

Instagram page is hcotf2018 and they do arms/legs etc splits

Noticed they’ve added a load of Pilates classes too which I’m gonna try!

Hannah and Leanne apparently don’t get a long at all, I heard it through the grape vine from some of Hannah’s super fans.

Ah that's a shame. I wonder why. Is that a recent thing? As I swear sometimes they'd mention each other in Insta stories or be out and about together but maybe that was a while ago. I like both of them but they do seem very different in personality.

I bet Ally leaves with her TV presenting career kicking off. I never ever do her classes since she did such a bad Tina Turner class so won’t be sad when she goes. Smug.com

I’ve never been a big ally fan tbh, unfollowed her after she got all weird about her wedding, announced she’d be going private on the gram so only ‘fans’ could see the wedding content - basically just trying to get people to follow her

Sam Yo’s recovery rides

These. I love his seasonal recovery rides - there is a recent Spring one up now.

 

[megsmagoo]

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

okay I’ve never heard of Welshman’s caviar, so I had to google it incase it was a euphemism for something

I recently sold my bike as we moved, but now thinking of rebuying and can probably get one for similar to what I sold for. Feel a bit on the fence though, is anyone still actively using theirs?

Use mine loads, along with all the other classes. Also bought a treadmill (not a peloton tread, wouldn’t bother wasting money on a peloton one as you can connect easily through bluetooth to the app) so have enjoyed some of the runs and the running bootcamps too.

Matty is my fave, probably because he reminds me of the west village

Haven't found a yoga instructor I like yet, I didn't fancy the bob Marley session today

The London guy who's name I forget I thought was terrible - like a bot saying each song was a tune "big up 50 cent" with lots of woo's

Ha that’s Ben. He’s a bit like an action man. He goes out with Leanne. My favourite is Sam, not too chatty, lovely and calm and still pushes you hard.

I’ve had mine since June and did the app and a spin bike for a few months before that. I’ve consistently stuck with it and have never done that with exercise before. Coming up to 400 rides soon and still love it!

I think if it was invite Octavia would’ve been there she’s there every week with her husband
---
Also, I think some people love to show off on IG and imply they’ve had an invite to something or been gifted something when they haven’t

I don’t know who Octavia is unfortunately, I’m not a huge person in the know with everyone and only a handful I’d say. I’m sure for those media folks there it would’ve just been a “you’re welcome to come along” kind of invite.
It’s funny since talking here I’ve seen that weird behaving Milly persons reel. She’s extremely weird for someone of her age and might’ve guessed she’d be there

 

[aimz_yeah]

I love my tread and I am far from a runner. I use it far more than my bike. But I found it expensive at the old price, it isn't worth 3k.

I would wait, the price will come down again

This is defo going to be my new fave thread!
Adoring the app clocked over 1000 minutes of strength and cardio workouts in January
Who's everyone's fave trainer? Mine is Andy Speer, mainly for his playlists!

I’m on a few of the “crew” pages - Leanne, Ben, Hannah & Callie’s. Some of the fans are really sad. It’s almost obsessive. There’s one girl on Leanne’s page that I can’t stand, she’s always in the studio in the live rides and runs but she’s just so full of herself lol

 

[instaclowns]

He’s called Duncan_inspired and he does have a bike too. The thing w the studio is you have to be there at least 30 mins before it starts so it’s time consuming if you treat it like a gym

Oh I’ve heard about him in various ladies groups and how he’s a bit of a dirt bag sliding into countless women’s DMs! Rumour is that he even asked out an instructor (I’m sure it was Hannah F)

 

[hereforalaugh38]

What section is barre under? Strength?

Yeah strength, Pilates and yoga is there too

 

[Caw1982]

It’s expensive but worth it. Maybe try and get a studio class so you can try it out? I’m not sure the showrooms are so good with tread try outs? (We got ours in lockdown so couldn’t try just took a punt!) I use it way more than our bike as I like all the options - hikes, walks, runs etc. Feels like way more variety!

Oh god I need to get it don’t I? My treadmill is ok on a flat but getting up to speed and back down It’s rubbish and incline non existent as it’s manual. I’ve just been running faster on hill sections. I will use it
---

The Tread is miles better than the bike! So much more fun and accessible I think

I think I’m going to do it. So mad I didn’t just buy it when I knew price was going up!

 

[Penny for them]

I've never joined a group x I rather like the bubble in like you say me myself and I -unless I join a session then I'm cool with the competition on the ride that ends as soon as it ends-I think it could get unhealthy otherwise
