If you have the original bike and an Apple Watch you can connect via Heartcast although mine was hit and miss. I just bought a cheap heart rate monitor in the end!

Looks like they’ve come to an agreement/settlement potentially.
All his stuff has been taken off the platform, which is a shame because I’d only recently gotten into him as an instructor.

Aw that is a shame, I really liked him he was a good laugh. Was an interesting look into peloton as a company

Ah thanks that makes perfect sense. It could end up looking a bad for them if it turns out they've prioritised asthenics for their 4k treadmill and don't have the safety features that others do. Although I'm sure they're not the only ones, but they've successfully managed to become a household name.

Surely they should just recall and put a plastic cover over the back - Yes the PR would be hard but easier to do something than ignore it.
Otherwise they are going to have a lot of people suing them for various things... not to mention the poor child.

I have been quite frankly fannying about with mine lately and then wonder why I can’t get near any of my PBs. Going to finally start the Build Your Powerzones programme next week then incorporate some of the hardcore on the floor content…no excuses…come back to me in a couple of weeks and give me a kick 😂

Does anyone know if you can sell peloton credits? I bought one for New York whilst I was over there on holiday but didn’t manage to get a spot 😩. Very naive I know but would rather someone else at least get to use it as I have no plans to be in NY within the next year!

With them being around for over ten years I don't think they'll just suddenly disappear

It doesn't really matter how long they've been around for. What does is they now have eyewatering debt and eye watering losses. They've been terribly managed for the last year with some awful decisions. The idea that they would grow and grow and grow based on what happened during lockdowns was so flawed. If they can restructure and have realistic expectations about being a somewhat niche product with small growth then they may hang in.

I doubt another firm will be wanting to take on all their liabilities as there's not much unique to buy, it's mainly the customer base.

Share prices have increased with the row announcement, there's already others on the market so not sure there's much to untap. But we will see

Fairly new to peloton but love it so far! Can anyone recommend their favourite cycle rides or strength classes? Enjoying trying different trainers/music types x

Anyone find the official FB group irritating. Good to ask questions but some people need some real friends. There is absolutely no need to tell us every class that you did
Click to expand...
Yes! All of them are so irritating I had to leave them all
I'm not arsed about your sweaty face, or how you've done 4 hours of workouts before 3am
I love the hardcore on the floor group and sweaxy strong though

Sam is my favourite too and he even gave me a random shout out at the end of his class today.

Oooh I'm not sure who that is and I'm on all these pages. There are definitely some creeps. I was at the studio for the event last Thursday in London and the obsessiveness of some is really embarrassing

😱 what’s his name again? The duncan_inspired I found on IG just posts quotes.

In good news, peloton & lulumelon have re-started their collaboration (although I’m sure they were suing each other only last year!!). Hopefully the apparel will improve a bit. Any own-branded peloton items I have seem to be very shoddily made, and I’ve picked up some lulu bargains in the peloton sales before.

I did my first Cody ride last week, and it just annoyed me that he didn’t exactly do much but talk… I get the point of instructors is to motivate, but when I’m being told to do 60 resistance and 80 cadence and he’s just sat there waffling on not moving his legs.

He stops a lot haha! I think when I am working out I just stop listening to his yap. He is the only instructor where I decreased the volume of the instructor. I know many people are the fans of his. Who is your favourite?

He has a huge following and almost 200 classes on strength/tread
so maybe thats why they haven’t purged him out?
I personally think if it was due to his health issues then they would have written about that. Just the fact that it was a very short status about him… seems controversial?

Yeah that's a good point. I can't see either Peloton or him shedding any light on it, which is unfortunate.
