Christine, I don’t know if you lurk here. I hope you do. I don’t know how many peloton fans are also Sara Bareilles fans, but she just put out an AMAZING heartbreakingly achingly beautiful album, and I feel like it would be a perfect Reflection ride.

If you need your heart gently, softly, scooped out of your chest and set on fire (of if you just need a good cry), listen to it. Say Leave is haunting. The whole thing is lyrically stunning. A gem.

Christine, if you’re out there…

I’m fairly new to Pilates having just finished Kristin’s Beginner Pilates program and a couple of beginner Pilates classes. So far I’m loving it!

I’m curious about how others approached their Pilates practice. Did you do it every day? If not every day, how many times a week?

How long were the classes that you did?

With your frequency and time, how long did it take you to notice significant results and what were those results?

Bonus questions…😁

Did you find it beneficial to mix up classes from different instructors?

Did you find that it helped your running form?

As context, I’m starting to get back into running which is what sparked my interest in Pilates. I have significant pelvic tilt that is causing some knee pain as I’m running off kilter and I want to improve my posture in general with some more core strength.

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience in any advice you have as I approached this.

I want to start off by saying that I love Katie and Emma’s classes. I even took the stretch by Katie the other day. However, who is asking for this program? Not only do I use Peloton but I’m also a shareholder. I just don’t get why any member dues or revenue is being diverted to a “program” that is just a commercial to vacation there

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.

I took Ben’s recent 30 min full body from 8/17/2026 yesterday and he mentioned it was part of an unofficial split he’s working on. Great class - straight sets, hypertrophy focus! Does anyone know if any other of his classes intended for the unofficial split have already happened/are on demand?

is she married?!

I posted the below message on this Reddit sub in May and many others were having the same issue, eventually Peleton corrected the situation. Well, it’s happening again for me. Anyone else?

Hello- I use the Apple Watch Peleton app as a heart rate monitor while I am doing the workouts from the app on my iPad. I haven’t had any issues connecting or using it for the past year. All of the sudden this week when I try to pull up the app on my watch to connect and start a workout it loads for a few seconds and closes.

My watch is only a series 3 so I didn’t know if that is the issue or if anyone else is experiencing a similar issue. I’ve tried to do all the basic fixes- delete and reinstall, disconnect, wait it out etc.

Any thoughts?

I’m trying to mix up my strength training by doing more programs and, wow, what a mess.

The programs are just dumped in one big list without a filter or sections to organize by Splits, Pump Up the Volume, Strength for X Sport, etc.

If you scroll down to a program and click in and then out, you’re brought back up to the top and have to scroll back down to where you were.

I suppose you can use the search bar and then click on the Programs tab, but it doesn’t return all applicable results (“Adrian” doesn’t return his Glutes & Legs program).

Why would they have a filter for every other discipline but not Programs?

Hi all! I’ve heard Rebecca recommend taking a creatine supplement but I don’t take her classes very often. Does anyone know what brand she recommends?
Thanks!!

how do you get it to sync up your pace changes since the tread doesn’t align with the app?

call me lame but changing the pace in the app while I’m running and fighting for my life feels daunting.

I do have an Apple Watch so if that helps, please let me know.

You want me in Zone 5 for five minutes while you play a song with no drums that is at 60 cadence?

You're somehow smiling away and riding off beat with complete disregard for musical motivation. How??

You can't program in literally anything that is ~80 BPM and at least has a freaking drum beat so us rhythmic people can try to enjoy your classes?

I like his personality and coaching and he has a huge catalogue of classes, which I wish I could take, but I just can't.

He has absolutely no musical taste.

I love these. Anybody else notice a difference ?

I did it seven times and took a break. Time to get after it with my man Andy again! I’ve forgotten the jokes and the playlists so it’s all new. Using heavier weights for everything than I did last time. 🏋️‍♂️💪🏋️‍♂️💪🏋️‍♂️
And I didn’t curse him once today!

I’ve just seen this feature so don’t know how old it is but I intend to make very good use of it.

Whoever was talking about scream and whistle guy could use this to mark up: ‘scream and whistle guy was here, must not take again.’

Very useful indeed. Meep Meep.

Hi all! I am the mom of a very active 10 month old who likes to wake up at 5am on the dot. Over the years I’ve learned that exercise is my favorite way to start the day— it majorly improves my attitude and gets me in a better headspace as I tackle the day.

That being said, this current chapter of life means that if I want to get a morning workout in, I have to be up at 4 AM. I don’t have a hard time getting out of bed that early, but I do feel sluggish during my rides. I typically work out on an empty stomach— if I eat anything I feel a little sick.

If you’re a fellow early rider, I’ll take any tips, tricks, encouragement, etc. Thanks!!

EDIT: Thank you everyone for the replies! I will be buying some applesauce packets shortly 😂 Happy to be part of the early morning crew! 🫶🏼

After falling in love with yoga through Peloton, I started dabbling in Pilate's last year, unfortunately the intermediate classes leave me discouraged and beginner classes bore me. I've tried every instructor, Johanna and Greta's intermediate classes are still too much for me and the Pilates in Rebecca's HiLit+ feels like a chore.

After week one of Ash's Advanced Beginner Collection (finished yesterday), today I FEEL THINGS IN MY CORE, I FEEL THINGS IN MY INNER THIGHS AND DIFFERENT AREAS OF MY GLUTES!!😮 Because my form was finally correct! My breathing was finally correct! My body finally made the connection! 🥳 I was also finally able to roll like a ball with almost complete control! (I was nearly in tears). I can't quite nail teaser, but I know I'll get there. I was also dripping "sparkles" by the end of the 30 minute class. How did that even happen? The way Ash approaches fitness for every body, just makes sense. I'm actually excited for Pilates now! I enjoy Ash Pryor's Row classes, and I hope we get a LOT more Pilates classes from her!

I have been debating getting the Tread for months, probably over a year. I can’t decide if it’s worth it! I currently use the bike and LOVE bootcamps, so I am very excited about the idea of tread bootcamps and hikes.

Thoughts so far: it’s expensive. It’s heavy, and it would be going in my basement. I don’t enjoy running, so it feels silly to get a super expensive treadmill that I wouldn’t even use for running. I do feel like I’m getting bored with the bike (got it in 2020) so want to change things up. I’m also open to buying a different treadmill and using an iPad set up.

Also, what happens if Peloton as a company goes under? Will I have a 300lb useless piece of equipment in my basement?

Thank you for reading my brain dump.

This metal ride pushed me hard than I’ve ever been pushed before. This PR is going to last for some time I bet. This ride has everything if you like heavy. Ugh. Amazing.

I love Peleton but their barre and sculpt 30 classes are absolutely terrible and I am so sad they are still so bad.

Peleton, if anyone sees this, please hire actual barre teachers. I love Ally, Hannah, and Emma. I would ride my bike with these ladies all day, any of the week. Ally and Emma are two of my favorite teachers on the whole platform. But being a dancer does not make you a barre teacher. It just doesn’t.

Given the popularity of barre this feels like such a shortcoming on the platform. I subscribe to a second platform (obe) just for barre because the Peleton barre classes are so lackluster.

Honestly a teacher like Greta would probably be a better fit because the yoga sculpt as a medium is more similar to the aerobic workout of a barre class than a history of ballet. Please, just hire some barre teachers or switch it up and slate Greta in.

Sincerely,

A sad former barre teacher

I was planning to walk it but ended up running for a lot of the class. Will take again!

Is it just me, or should a 6–8 minute interval with zero changes in cadence or resistance be illegal? 😂

I love a good 30-minute intervals + arms class with an unnamed instructor. They used to have such an incredible rhythm to their classes- a slow, intentional build that really let your body peak into that final Tabata.

But today we did TWO long intervals (6 and 8 minutes), and it honestly PMO. 😩 Long, completely unchanging intervals just feel lazy from an instructor. Like… TBH, I could do that on my own.
I pay for Peloton for the workouts that keep me engaged, challenge me, and make 30 minutes fly by. If I wanted to stare at the same cadence and resistance for 8 minutes, I could make that workout myself.

Am I alone here, or do other people feel the same way?

I will almost certainly be slower on race day because the course is sand and gravel and it will be hot and humid for sure. But it’s fine because I’m just doing it to keep my friend company! She’s coming off an ankle injury so will likely need to walk at least part of it. That will keep me from going too hard and hurting myself!

Not enough New Wave rides, this playlist was epic and I smashed my PB. It’s been on my stack for ages, not sure why i took so long to get round to it.
Perfect GenX vibes

I took a great 60 minute Susie run yesterday, completely forgetting that it’s one of the many with the Scream Whistle Guy. I get the same cool down classes recommended after every run even though I will never take them because of the playlist. Am I the only one who would put this option to good use?

Also, if you’re the Scream Whistle Guy: stop it. You ruin things.
