Peloton

[instaclowns]

I didn't see this as although I confess to being a peloton wanker, I'm more of a team Sam and as far as I can tell, most of the people in his group seem lovely and drama-free. I don't mind Hannah however haven't joined any of her groups because some of the people I've seen in the UK Ladies group who seem to be fans of hers come across as irritating narcissists (based on the heavily filtered pouting bike selfies they post).

Haha brilliant! Isn’t that most of the UK Ladies Facebook page? That group has got to be one of the worst, most self absorbed groups I’ve ever been part of, the floating of ‘oh look at me and my huge house/Porsche’ is just wanky!

so I saw someone share something about all this Hannah stuf and fell into a hole with as many as 10 sharing stuff hammering the fan group founder or whatever she goes by and then it’s was a back and forth against each other for so many days! Pretty embarrassing tbh and tagging peloton and Hannah’s instagram page was a bit uncalled for if you ask me

Lots of people also crank up their resistance beyond the range like what is the point?

I saw a post on the Facebook group ages ago about people just ignoring the intervals/instructions
and just riding at highest resistance and highest cadence they can for whole class time

If stuff like that makes you laugh I can highly recommend doing some of the newer classes with participants as you can see some of their screens. You can see where some have really high resistance and cadance and they are DYING at the end.

I just spin and sing

Same. I did a class lately and I can see one of their screen was 42 + resistance throughout. Lol

Chuffed to bits to hear Leanne’s news over the weekend

It’s lovely news isn’t it, I wasn’t a Leanne fan, thought no one can be as nice as she appears in class but having done a live ride with her (and it later turned out she was awaiting her diagnosis) it turns out she really is as lovely as she appears on screen. After all the rubbish that has come her way I’m delighted for her and Ben.

Regarding the studio extended closure, why do people never factor in the regular staff who make it all tick? It's not about the instructors having more time off, it's about those there 24/7 getting a nice break for their hard work too
---

Don’t know how I feel about Leanne selling stuff on Vinted that were clearly PR gifts . Loads of Trinny London stuff!

Pretty sure that she donates the money to breast cancer charities, I've seen her say this on an Instagram story before when she's shared her vinted link

SSDD?

it’s been so long since I’ve been on my bike or tread (even though I’m paying my monthly subscription ), think I’m out of touch with the lingo

Same shit different day I’m guessing in relation to the same people being at the Kendal meet an greet!

I must just sound like I work for Peloton but I genuinely love it and it's been worth it for me.

Great post, although what I want to know most is have you ever had a shoutout? Peloton do rather cringey say this is one of the main features of their premium membership

Sorry I'm not trying to be sarky I get lots of people genuinely do like it and don't have as a status thing. I really do like the concept but I think the price point is too high, and the constant adverts are off-putting.

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.

 

[kcab0231]

The constant collections for birthdays and anniversaries is too much - and it’s always the same members in the rides!

there’s a certain couple as well who when it comes to Ben border on obsessive!

 

[TaylorMomsen]

I've had the app since the 4th Jan (I'm a cheapskate so just using a decent spin bike), 163 workouts since then?! I've had more noticeable muscle gain in those 10 weeks than in however many years in the gym

It's funny though because I absolutely DESPISE running, but all my fave trainers do runs so I am half wanting to get the tread!

BRB, just going to do Andy's live upper body @ 4

That Lizzo 2-4-1 ride

It’s lovely news isn’t it, I wasn’t a Leanne fan, thought no one can be as nice as she appears in class but having done a live ride with her (and it later turned out she was awaiting her diagnosis) it turns out she really is as lovely as she appears on screen. After all the rubbish that has come her way I’m delighted for her and Ben.

I’ve ridden with her a good few times in studio and she is such a lovely person, would stay as long as you wanted for pics at the end. She’s certainly had a rough ride and as someone who struggled with fertility issues it’s so wonderful that she’s pregnant after potentially having IVF, certainly after having chemo. X

Does anyone belong to the UK Ladies Peloton Facebook group?

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING ME AWARE OF THUS GROUP. Absolute comedy gold dust.

I’ve borrowed an old (and crap) spin bike until my Peloton arrives so that I can try some of the classes. I’m loving it, did a 45 min one with Olivia yesterday and then just finished a Robyn boot camp one. This is going to be addictive and will be so much better on a decent bike.

I used to go to so many spin classes pre lockdown but having not been for so long all I can say is ouch

 

[TaylorMomsen]

I can't do any of the British instructors, I think the OTT-ness just suits the American's better - it sounds so false when a British person does it in my ears
l loveddddd Bradley's pop-punk ride though, but I had to set the music louder than his voice hahaha

 

[Champagnecampaign]

I’ve ordered. Countdown is on, bloody long one 8 weeks to go.

 

[DrNooo]

What’s this about then? So no live Wednesday classes, reduced London public classes and now this…..

I wish they'd stop dicking about with some of the unnecessary content such as developing nutrition and brand collaborations and just stick to providing a range of decent classes at times that give everyone the opportunity to ride live should they wish.

I've just seen that Leanne's best friend died on her wedding day. Utterly horrific, just unimaginable.

 

[guccigang]

Does anyone here follow the #hardcore calendar? I’ve done a couple of days so far and love having structure. I’m a nightmare for just scrolling through classes to choose from but this way I HAVE to do it. I’m definitely going to continue and excited to see results!

The Pete Tong ride is

OMG. That was the best 30 mins of my life. I felt like I was back in the clubs. I actually screamed during Insomnia

If i only ever do that ride over and over, it's worth the subscription fees
