Is anyone else feeling much stronger and confident after completing this challenge? I have found myself more willing to choose harder rides or increase my resistance more frequently than before. Going into the challenge I had never done a hiit and hills ride or a Robin yellow class despite having the bike for a few years as I believed I could not do it. I am now averaging 1 or 2 a week and am noticing a significant change in my power and strength. I even did a hiit and hills ride with Olivia in studio (highly recommend her energy is insane in person). This challenge has significantly helped me be more confident in my workout plan over the past month and am just wondering if anyone feels the same? I would also love if anyone has any class recommendations that were either not included in the challenge or by other instructors that I should try. For reference, I am a 21 year old female that loves pop music and am open to pretty much all of the instructors. Thank you!!

Recently took a Rolling Hills ride. Only Olivia can make a pretty simple ride structure chaotic. 2.5M flat turns into 30 second intervals in and out of the saddle. At some point we were at 50R and 100C. The usual 'Olivianess'. I like Olivia and am not bashing her. Just stating if you like Chaos and Justin /Ariana on every ride, she is for you.

No shade to Zara Larsson, I love the song, but I’m just so sick of seeing it in every tread class!

I work 3 12-hour shifts a week. My shifts are very active, running around all day, and I average 12-17k steps. When i get home, I'm toast, and there is absolutely zero chance of me hopping on the peloton.

I've had my peloton bike for about a year and a half, and have been using it on my days off, about 4 times a week. I love it SO much. But, i've recently decided that it's time I incorporate strength training back into my routine. I was thinking of doing 3 days bike, 1 day total body strength (peloton videos) at least to start. I did have to get a gym membership, since I don't have any weights and don't have the space for them. I have to get used to driving to/from the gym and working out in public again🥲

So, looking for any suggestions on how best to split my week up. Would love to hear how others do it based on a 4 day workout schedule.

Anyone take the 45 minute summer blast workout? I looked over the class plan and three 10 min AMRAPs with 3 moves each sounds daunting and repetitive. Do the multiple instructors make time go by quicker? Do they make it fun?
My only workout time is when my toddler naps so I don’t want to waste it. Thanks in advance! Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸🎆

Hello!! I am looking to do a strength program. I get overwhelmed by the choices. I also get bored of repeating the same class week after week. Has anyone tried the Pump up the Volume collections? Andy’s program?? That one looks like different classes every week. Or are the repeated splits the best way to go?

I’ve had a OG bike since 2021 and love it and the classes. I want to find a used bike+ on marketplace because the accuracy of the power meter and the better seat adjustment.

Besides that, we had a sole treadmill (f63) at our old house and I’d use an iPad to do peloton classes. For classes that were doing interval training, my sole was way to slow to keep up. Like if Olivia did a 15 second sprint, I’d only be sprinting for maybe 3-5 seconds before slowing down again. Plus the iPad was such a small screen it was hard to see much.

We just moved and I sold the sole. I’m thinking of getting a tread (the tread+ is just way too much money).

Is the tread quick to adapt to changes for interval classes? Also, is it reliable? My bike has had no issues (save the seat post Allen bolt slipping), and my sole treadmill needed the belt replaced after minimal usage.

I really, really want to love Tunde for strength because, well, look at her. But the strength portion of this class is just chaos.

Three AMRAPS, a different set of moves in every one and the cues are non-existent. I missed the first move of the last AMRAP because she was dancing about and I didn't realise we'd started until she did about eight seconds of the move before shifting to the next one. It's extra annoying because you just know she didn't get that physique doing one set of eight overhead extensions and then moving on.

I love Tunde on the bike (maybe having the bike+ helps because missed cues aren't so bad when you can just tap it into the midpoint and forget it). But I've tried a few strength classes now and they are so all over the place.

Back to Ben for me.

So many bookmarked classes with amazing playlists or class plans, running content that has helped me run indoors and outdoors and feel like such a bad@$$, awesome instructors who keep me entertained and motivated, HiLit+ starting soon, Mariana’s Run + Flow calling my name, etc etc etc! So thankful for this platform and for the FOMO on all of the content!

Sorry for the caps BUT, I need sock recs. I ride mt bike often and all my socks with cushion get run down quick.

I typically get Aritzia socks (i know it's not "workout" socks but i love the cushion) and Nike but I'm curious what else everyone is wearing.

Someone recommended Bombas but I can't justify paying $50 for 4 socks

Hi! I was scrolling the schedule and I just saw that Jess KIng has a power zone class schedule for July 16! I don’t take her classes but I am curious to take this! I didn’t see an announcement from Peloton adding Jess to the power zone instructors but maybe I missed it… do you guys know more??
