Peloton

Peloton is keeping its NYC and London studios closed for one last day as it prepares for a public reopening. Members will soon have a chance to attend live Peloton classes in person for the first time in more than two years.

Today, Peloton’s newest strength instructor, Logan Aldridge, is launching his first class, a 20-minute full-body strength class at 7 p.m. ET. A CrossFit Games competitor and para-athlete, Aldridge is the brand’s first “adaptive instructor” who plans to bring an inspiring mix of inclusive fitness training and accessibility to Peloton members with varying physical abilities. From the looks of this teaser, expect to seriously be challenged by what you think is possible.

Welcome to our live show/podcast, the Weekly Watt, which brings you an overview of what’s new in all things connected fitness.

In this week’s episode, we discuss the iFIT and Peloton lawsuit settlement – including the new details that we dug up.

Joining us during the second half of the show to talk about how to use data to guide your training is Justin Roethlingshoefer. Justin is a the founder of Own It, a digital coaching platform.

Today we take a hands-on look at the new Peloton Heart Rate Armband. Peloton’s previous heart rate monitor was well known to be a cheap, poorly made device (which they still sell for $34). However, this new Peloton armband is strong step in the right direction. You can easily tell that there is a similar design philosophy as used in the recent Peloton Guide.

According to a new report from The Wall Street Journal, Peloton is looking for a lifeline by actively exploring investors to buy a 15% to 20% stake in the company.

Peloton is offering $150 of free accessories in their Guide bundle for Mother’s Day. For those who already bought the Peloton Guide, you are still eligible to get in on the deal. Read below to learn how to get the deal.

Peloton has lowered pricing for their bike lease program, One Peloton Club. Previously, pricing was not mentioned on the Peloton site, as it varied by showroom. Now that the costs are the same for everyone, I went and crunched the numbers to see whether it is worth it or not.

The Peloton Bike does a great job of tracking your workout metrics after each ride. While these metrics are all viewable under your profile, it has not been organized well to allow members to easily analyze and track their progress.

Released today, a new iOS app called CycleStats seeks to solve this problem, both with better visualized training data and more comprehensive analytics tools.

For the first time, Peloton has released strength focused split programs for its members. These programs are designed to be repeated for four weeks, with specific days designated to work various muscle groups. While a very traditional approach to strength training, it is new to Peloton members.

The split programs have been made available as Peloton Guide exclusives for the first seven weeks. However, with the links below, all Peloton members can take them without having to wait.

Reading a Reddit thread that was subsequently deleted by the mods, a reader was asking how to get into the top echelon of riders and there were some great tips. I thought I might chime in with my own experience, having spent over two years researching the matter and putting those strategies into the ride.

New “Mothers Day Bundles” are now available on Peloton and one offer seems too good to be true. The best deal can be found with the $295 bundle combining the new Peloton Guide (reg. $295), Peloton Heart Rate (reg. $90), and Peloton Workout Mat (reg $70)

As of right now, when you add this deal to your cart, an additional $150 is taken off, making the total just $145!

UPDATE: the website has been adjusted and the new bundle price is $295. However, there still is a way to order the non-bundled Peloton Guide for just $145 (detailed below).

A recent patent application made by Rexon in February of 2022 may show the design of the upcoming Peloton Rower. Discovered by Bob Treemore, the design shows a rower which uses a “Peloton-style” knob to adjust its magnetic resistance. Rexon is one of Peloton’s primary manufacturer partnerships.

Peloton recently released its first strength-focused hardware with the Peloton Guide. Given their similar cost and AI movement tracking features, you might be wondering how the Peloton Guide stacks up vs the Tempo Move. Read (or watch) below to get our in-depth comparison.

As promised, Peloton is continuing to release content exclusive to the new Peloton Guide. Four split strength programs became available this morning to members currently using the Guide.

Peloton’s Extended Warranty, rebranded as ‘Peloton Protection Plan,’ is now more appealing to its US members. Earlier this month, Peloton announced changes that include allowing warranties to transfer and longer coverage at lower monthly prices.

Peloton has announced a handful of major changes, including price cuts for its hardware products as well as the first-ever price increase for the All-Access monthly subscription. The price of the Bike will drop by $300, from $1,745 to $1,445, while the Bike+ will drop to under $2,000 for the first time. Head below for the full details…

When reviewing the new Peloton Guide, I noticed that my Strive Score seemed to be pretty low. At the time, I didn’t think much of it. But after seeing comments from a few others about their Strive Score, I figured I would investigate it further. Here is what I found.
