Welcome to the Weekly Watt, a weekly video and podcast here on Connect the Watts that brings you an overview of what’s new in all things connected fitness.

In this week’s episode, we discuss the future of CrossFit and how it has (or has not) adapted into a connected fitness platform.

Joining us this week is RPM Training Co-Founder and CCO, Josh Rogers, to discuss their new functional connected fitness service ATOM. ATOM features daily workouts, adaptable leaderboards, and popular CrossFit coaches like Pat Barber.

In this review, we’re covering two styles of earbuds in the current Back Bay Brand lineup: the Runner 60 and Tempo 30. One trip to the Back Bay website and it’s clear: the goal is to bring you the best in workout audio. Runner 60 and Tempo 30 have appeared on many ‘Best of’ lists for affordable earbuds or fitness accessories. But after experiencing how good they are, it seems a shame to pigeonhole them into any one category.

I’ve been spending some time lately testing out the EXR Rowing App, which I can best describe as a “Zwift for Rowers”. EXR is able to connect with a variety of rowers to create an online training platform with an excellent variety of workouts, gamification, and virtual locations. The app is now available on Apple TV, in addition to Mac, iOS, Android, and Windows.

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.

It had been a while since I last put on my Meta Quest VR headset to workout, so when I saw a trailer for Supernatural’s new “Beast Challenge”, I felt it was time to jump back in. Could I take on the greatest fitness challenge in the Metaverse?

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).

Last September, WHOOP introduced the newly upgraded 4.0 of its smart biometric fitness tracker. A combination of high demand and supply chain issues drastically pushed out shipping times. But as of this week, WHOOP has announced 4.0 is now in stock and ready to ship.

Today, FITURE has unveiled the release of their new motion tracking fitness mirror to the U.S. FITURE features their Motion Engine™ tech tracks your movements and offers real-time feedback through form correction as well as pacing, timing, and movement feedback.
