These are some incredibly stressful times. I hope that you and your families are safe, healthy and staying sane.
Hi everyone! A common theme of questions I get in my mailbox about the Peloton App is as follows:
- If I use the Peloton App with my own bike, will I be visible on the Leader board?
- Can the Peloton instructor “see me” if I am using the App without the bike?
- What is the deal with the high-fives?
Here are some answers:
Hi All!
You know that I love the Peloton App. I really do; however, sometimes I feel like I need a bit more than just the bike. For off the bike workouts I prefer BeachBody.com programs over the Peloton App classes. In particular, I like the Insanity(with Shawn T) and the LIIFT4 (with Joel from Core de Force) for a combination of weight training, cardio and abs. Insanity is available both on DVD and on Demand while LIIFT4 is only available for streaming on Demand.
Because I would never want to abandon my Peloton rides completely, I’ve written a Peloton, Insanity MAX 30 and LIIFT 4 hybrid workout calendar. I thought that I would share it with my followers. It is not for the faint of heart but its a great action-packed workout in under one hour.
UPDATE: Peloton confirmed this week that they WILL indeed launch a Peloton rower in 2020 although no further details about the rower or its interoperability with the Peloton App were provided.
OK, this is purely speculative but I THINK Peloton will soon be releasing a Peloton Rowing Machine.
This past October Peloton acquired Tonic Fitness Technology, a company that has been manufacturing Peloton’s high tech spin bikes for a bunch of years. And Tonic recently filed a patent application for a a high tech indoor rowing machine with the U.S. Patent Office.
Piecing in all together…
More exciting news! I just celebrated my 400th ride on my Sunny bike using the Peloton App and got another shout-out from Miss Ally Love. Read on to see the video.
How much does the Peloton App cost? Boy, I get this question a lot.
I have some exciting news! Equinox recently announced that starting this Fall, they will launch a digital fitness platform. This digital fitness platform will include classes and content from its family of brands, including SoulCycle and Precision Run! The new platform will integrate live and on-demand content from over 300 locations.
The SoulCycle App
Since publishing my original post about using the Peloton App without the Peloton bike, I frequently get asked where to place the Wahoo Speed Sensor on my Sunny spin bike. And how to set the proper circumference.
This is how to do it…
Hi Gang,
Its been almost two years since I started using the Peloton App with my own Sunny Spin Bike and my Wahoo cadence and speed sensors. What an amazing experience. I am in the best shape of my life and more importantly I have proven to myself that I have a passion for spinning – I am so happy with the variety of Peloton class options, have exercised my butt off and the bike didn’t turn into a clothes hanger.
Now I am considering an upgrade. Why? For no reason in particular. My Sunny still works great. I just want to move to more of a commercial grade exercise bike. I have stashed away $100 per month for the past two years and I am deciding between a Keiser M3i and of course, the Peloton.
After doing a LOT of research comparing and contrasting the two spin bikes – I thought I would share what I found.
I get a lot of emails asking me to respond with a simple list of all the bits and bobs needed to use the Peloton App with your own spin bike (meaning, without the actual Peloton bike). Well, in addition to replying to those emails, I thought that I would post my advice here, too.
Of course, my detailed review of the Peloton App with all the lovely pictures and videos can be found in my super popular Peloton Alternative post!
