Fantastic app! What I would like to see next...?
I’ve been using this app for a while and I like it a lot. You can find similar apps out there but I think Peleton is giving the best value for money. I enjoy class on my phone (I can airplay on tv) with the Apple Watch connected. I did not give 5 stars only because I would like to see some improvements on the Apple Watch app. At the moment what I’m missing the most of the possibility to have an outdoor workout without having to bring my iPhone with me. I used to run/walk using just my Apple Watch only (that’s why I chose the LTE model) but now if I want to have an outdoor workout I have to carry my iPhone too.
Hopefully this will change soon as many competitors offer full workout just on watchShow lesspiggy182

Below is my rating from when the app first appeared a few years ago. It wasn’t good. It’s now amazing. I use Chromecast to take it with me on the road and in my condo’s gym. Great, great workouts.
Old review:
I guess the utility of the app depends upon your goals. If your goal is heart rate training (HRT), or some sort of high intensity fitness training, there are better videos on You Tube. If your goal is to pass the time with a certain type of music, and get "life coaching" from a yoga teacher, then this app will work for you. I found Steve Little to be the best, most serious instructor. I found Nicole Meline to be one I wanted to mute as she offered empty platitudes like "make yourself essential", "paint a new masterpiece today", "you don't have to accept that inheritance". Huh? I'm looking to work hard and get my heart rate up to 90-93% That isn't a goal of this program. Apparently, helping the depressed is. What they need to do to cater to serious fitness folks: get some graphics on the screen: heart rate as a percent of maximum; cadence; resistance,; effort level; segment time; total time. Instead, you're gonna get "favorite playlists". That's fine for the Lululemon yoga pants in the grocery store "athlete", but how about something for the serious folks? They clearly have the technology. For me, it's back to You Tube videos. I'll check back in six months. Maybe they'll come around.Show lessloanflyer
The instructors need to clean up their explicit language
I typically use the less mills app and those instructors never swear. The peloton app is a different story. While I appreciate that they warn you if the video is explicit it doesn’t help when they’re almost ALL explicit with no way to filter out the bad language. I’d like the instructors to buy a thesaurus and use cleaner language. Never heard so much swearing by instructors in any fitness app I’ve tried. It’s the only reason I probably won’t be purchasing after free trial ends. The video editors could bleep out some of the bad words but don’t seem to care. If you have kids then les mills tv app is superior. They too offer cycling workout videos. The peloton workouts are good but I have to watch them on silent with subtitles when my young child is awake and play my own music. The frequent swearing ruins this otherwise great app. My other gripe is the lack of a pause button. Les mills has it so why not add it to peloton videos? All our kids are home due to the pandemic and not being able to pause it when they enter the room is a huge problem. These are not family friendly workouts which is too bad since son no longer gets PE in school. If you’d remove all the swearing kids could use them for home PE purposes with us. I haven’t tried the live classes in app yet but am assuming they have swearing too.Show lessCardioQueen😂

Hi there, thank you for reaching out with your feedback. To hide explicit language, please view the "More" tab on the bottom right of your screen, then visit Preferences to select "Hide Explicit Classes".Love, Love, Love It!!!! Addicted!!!!!!
What can i say except for wow! I did not think I would take to this at all as somebody who hasn’t exercised properly in forever and who isn’t in the best of shape and overweight but I honestly cannot get enough of it! Yes of course with the bike and the subscription it is expensive but I feel it’s worth every penny as this does not just help with your physical health but your mental & emotional health too! I’ve tried a few different instructors now for cycling, yoga & meditation and found them all to be fantastic! I really didn’t think I’d be capable of doing even the beginner classes with how unfit I am but I have and I’m super proud of myself, super grateful to peloton for giving me this fantastic thing to focus on and feeling much healthier & energised than I have done in years! Thank you for welcoming me into the peloton family! 😊😍Show lessDawnf73
Great but..
The latest update that introduced chrome cast support seems to have introduced a bug. After I do a session and cast to an Apple TV from my phone I can’t dismiss the rating view by clicking the view workout button. I can say how hard I found the class and whether I rated it or not but then clicking view workout does nothing and I have to force close the app. With the new chrome cast feature is it possible to set a default via a preference? I don’t have a chrome cast and now have an extra screen to go through. The preference setting could be: Apple TV, Chromecast, All (where all would show the selection screen).
And any news on having the Apple Watch work for outside running independent of the phone (a person can wish right :) )?Show lessCan't I just leave a review
Could be awesome with a few tweaks
While it’s mostly great there are a few key things that could make it so much better:
1. Let users PAUSE pre-recorded rides! I understand you can’t pause a live ride but when you are doing a recorded ride and you need to use the restroom or hell you experience a phenomenon I experience quite a bit which is my foot falling asleep and I need to walk it off it would be great to be able to pause your ride.
2. Glitchy classes- some recorded classes are super glitchy and you won’t find out sometimes until partway through that particular class when all of a sudden you see the circle on your screen and it never reloads. You end up having to exit and your only options are to start again or delete the ride.
3. FAST FORWARD- Sometimes users want to take more than one class one right after the other. I would rather be able to skip or fast forward through the warmup of the second class and just just right in. As of now there is no such feature.Show lessChelsm
Way too much unnecessary commentary!!
I’m new to this app this week, mostly using it for the spin classes. The classes are so overshadowed by instructor chatter that it’s distracting and at times unintelligible from the workout instructions! I for one am not interested to hear about the latest billboard chart ratings & music history, motivational hype, or any other personal quips. If I could turn down the volume on their voices and turn up the music and just watch for visual cues that would be one fix. Alternatively would it be possible for instructors to simply lead a selection of classes without the excess chatter & with clear & concise workout instructions?Show lessHM.Thomas

Making A difference in my Parkinson’s one ride at a time.
At 56, I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in fall of 2016 after a few years of struggling with a hand tremor and body stiffness. At the time I started reading about what I could do to improve my symptoms. Spinning was high on the list. My husband and I purchased a Peloton bike in November 2016. I immediately fell in love with the many choices of classes and especially the instructors. Ally, Robin and Jenn seem to be my go to leaders. We live during the work week at an apartment which has spinning bikes so I use the app and on the weekends I ride my Peloton. I can’t tell you how much the Peloton community means to me and has significantly improved my ability to keep working at my job and giving me hope for my future. It is definitely an important part of my care regime. I’m a HUGE fan! Keep up all the great improvements. Next time I visit my daughter in NYC I’ll stop by and take a class. Tears of appreciation. Love you all. Kim Fredericks- kmypd Mukilteo/Bellevue Washington Xoxo.Show lesskmypd
