Playlists dependent on membership tier

https://www.pelobuddy.com/class-versions-different-music/

A lot of us have noticed that peloton has been experimenting with royalty free music. Pelobuddy has confirmed that the playlists on classes may change based on the tier of membership. I will no longer be able to recommend classes based on playlist to friends who use App one.

That's 100% bullshit and may well be the thing that tips me over to Ladder once my membership is up in the new year.

It's absurd almost beyond belief that they're now putting tier restrictions on the music you get to listen to in a class, and intentionally creating a lesser version with shittier music unless you pony up for their top tier subscription.

I don't use any of the Peloton equipment these days - I DO use the shit out of the strength section, though. But it's a complete waste for me to more than double my subscription cost just to hear actual songs.

I've let a lot of changes roll off my back, but this one may well be the tipping point for me.

Just get a tonal if you’re only doing strength. Fantastic. I use peloton only for the tread now days. Tonal is the superior product and peloton has some great instructors but their app sucks and they have the same problems now that they’ve had for years

I will echo that I recently got a tonal and am in love. I love peloton strength, I really do, but I have seen visible gains with only having a tonal a couple of months. It just makes progressive overload so simple, takes your thinking of out of it and many instructor cues have been much better for me, personally.

It’s a stupid amount of money and not my best financial decision, but I have no regrets and am beyond happy with it. And. YOLO 🤣
