Peloton

[figsontoast]

It's all a bit odd isn't it, but the level of obsession in the FB groups is very over the top!

Agree! I took maybe 4-5 classes of his and didn’t find anything that special about him as instructor compared to Chase. Who were in fact an amazing strength coach on that platform. Im so curious what happened….

 

[Caw1982]

Ooooh I'll take a look!

Lanebreak fun takes your mind off the task, 30 min power zones good with Ben and Cody 20 min pops

Gel seat definitely works, still bloody hurts though for a little while. A good reason not to stop though I guess ha, couldn’t stand the thought of going through it all again!

I once slipped while trying to clip in and landed with force on the seat - thought I’d broken my vagina

She’d gotten far too preachy for me personally over the last year or so, and her rides felt like they were more about promoting herself
Charlotte is my new fave for pop punk and metal rides!

I went off her a while ago. I see Ross is also leaving, which makes me actually sad.

 

[Kiki999]

Oh that’s made me feel really sad, she’s such a good instructor

I think it was when she first became an instructor but I really got emotional. A lot of the Peloton friendships between the instructors seem really sincere which I love

I'm so excited to be getting a peloton bike tomorrow! My neighbour is selling me theirs for £500. I've been using the app since march and using various other spin bikes at the work gym so I'm looking forward to having the full experience and stats.

You are so going to love it! Make sure you try all the instructors to find your fit, some of them would put me off for life and others are so inspiring, everyone is different!

Also if you are a gamer and have had enough of the you’ve got this chat try lanebreak, it’s my current obsession.

Just wish Matty taught the bike, he’s my lift you up person, nothing is wrong in the world when he smiles (well apart from that one run when he talked about eating anchovies on toast )

I've just done a little squeal at finding a Peloton thread on here!
I have a cheapy eBay spin bike and a second hand treadmill, which I use with the app, but they've definitely been some of the best purchases I've made.
A recent discovery for me is the sleep meditations, I haven't yet made it to the end of a 10 min one

Ngl I don't even know how much we pay with the bike because it's in my partner's name but £24 still sounds like an absolute bargain for the amount and quality of content on the Peloton app if it's the same as you get on the bike. If it's been £12 this whole time that's insane.

Exactly this. I think a lot of people on the Facebook pages have lost sight of that. £12 for unlimited content is madness. £24 is reasonable. A lot are comparing it to Les Mills which is £12.99 but I don’t think the two compare at all.

Ben, Leanne, Bradley and Cody are my faves!

Have to agree with above - when it comes to dance music rides Ben’s playlists are the best he used to DJ and it shows I think!

 

[LME2022]

It’s just a bike

 

[kcab0231]

I’m in some of the Facebook groups and when it’s posts of do you want to donate money for a present - erm no I don’t I pay my membership and they get wages!

 

[Readread]

My husband bought one with an industry discount and it’s fab. We’ve been using it between us about 15 times a week. Yes they’re expensive but in all honesty if anyone considers a spin bike a “status symbol” then they’re just a knob it’s just a spin bike

 

[snarksnark]

Given that they couldn't be bothered to fact check it enough to spell peloton right ...

 

[LittleMissOnions]

I use the UK Ladies Peloton group for what not to buy/where not to stay

It’s ultimate litmus paper for what is naff/nouveau riche!

Their only redeeming feature is they aren’t constantly wetting their middle aged knickers over Bradley unlike Roses Rebels

 

[Stringyone]

How has no one meant Sam yet? He’s my absolute favourite, not too much chat and sneakily gets you to pb. So genuine!
Everyone should try out his most recent 45minute class with the top gun finisher it’s epic!

 

[Penny for them]

I've just got the tread!!! I still used the bike 6days out of 7,try to use the tread a bit my husband uses the tread more,it's tough I really really enjoy them
Both,for me ,my mental health is so good when I've used them in my day,and I've kept off the stone I gained 1st lock down. Lately I feel my shape has adjusted,but I don't do strength etc just cardio,time is precious as usually i do it when my 1year old naps. I
Do cross fit,when gyms open which is never lately and
I love weightlifting,though using the bike defiantly strengthened my rowing,so I know it's doing good,but for now no gym,and really I'm so happy with my lot I might not go back,but I really enjoyed the social side which feels like a long time ago now -but I love this thread and peloton

 

[instaclowns]

It’s not even for his birthday, it’s to celebrate them all ‘taking over’ one of his rides in August! His birthday they are planning something much bigger

I just want to reply saying you do know that he is paid to teach, he doesn’t do it just for the love of you, he’s not your mate and her certainly doesn’t want to crack you open like a conker or whatever it was they were creaming their saddles over this week

So extreme isn’t it! And I can’t stand Bradley, he’s a terrible instructor imo and he’s really not funny
---

Oh I didn't know that!! I do know there was two groups for Kendall that have now amalgamated

Yeah I saw that they had merged! The second Hannah one was set up after a rift between loads of them and it all sounds a bit petty but again it’s just a group of crazy bunny boilers acting like the instructor is a family member of theirs

 

[Yel]

Wow, that's such a basic thing you'd of think they sorted on their platform.

Their system should have detected these mass friendling accounts and their dodgy pics.

They're running it like it's MySpace in 2005 from the sound of things

 

[Yel]

I wondered about this as in I tried once to scroll up through all the members during a live ride and gave up I couldn't get to the top of the list (the fastest etc)
So I think that's the lottery of a shout out and only if you're
On a live ride,thousands can be doing the same ride. Blows my mind.

Oh there's thousands per live ride?!

A highlight would be Americans trying to pronounce British place names

"Big up Sandra in gla-ww-ster"

"Keep going Marie in loo-ba-roo-ey"

I bought a mid range cross trainer and tend to do 50 mins watching the chase so I don't get bored

 

[LME2022]

It’s amazing, do it. There’s so many class options, cardio, outdoor walking, dance, weights. And the spin classes can do so many lengths, varieties of class, music and instructor
