Loving this app!
I just recently bought the Bowflex C6. After researching a lot of other apps I decided to try peleton. I wanted to do spin classes, not ride a simulated track outdoors somewhere. I’ve only been using this for about a week. Just completed my 5th or 6th ride and I am hooked! I have only used it for cycling so far, but there are other options for workouts. But as for cycling, there is a lot of variety to choose from. There’s different class durations, different genres of music, a lot of different instructors and different types of class types. They offer a 7 week free trial, so check it out if you’re curious. I love it!
Update:I’ve been using for almost two years now and it is still my favorite app. It is so user friendly and easy to navigate. I recently purchased a rowing machine and have another app for that and it is terrible. Sometimes it can take me ten minutes to find a class and get going…it’s ridiculous. PELETON…please add rowing to your repertoire!Show lessShafro76
Yes to you
If this is a cult, sign me up! The instructors and classes are excellent and Peloton’s done an amazing job of making getting fit fun again.bigfromage
Close to perfect
I have been using Peloton for a couple of years, more so this past 12 months. Originally provided with my Health insurance but subscribed when that ran out. I should say initially I do not own a Peloton bike but use it with a basic exercise bike, and still get the benefits. I use it for a variety of classes, strength, meditation, yoga. I have my favourite coaches, some I find better than others. I like the Schedule Option to allow you to set your workout for the week. I usually watch on demand rather then live. Here are a couple of improvements:
1. I have recently been unable to cast to my SONY tv, originally it worked fine now it just loads. I don’t know what f the issue is with the tv or app. Now I watch on a tablet ok.
2. I wish there was a recommendation option, particularly with the necessary warmups to save searching.
3. I wish there were more longer (60min) outdoor running, there’s only a couple in there just now.
4. The challenges are good and do offer some motivation but how about regular users are rewarded, loyalty points based on activities to be redeemed at Peloton? Just a thought.
5. I have reported that older catch up classes run out of sync, apparently this is being looked into but not resolved yet.,@
Over all as long as you are a regular user it is good value and hope it continues.Show lessC-e-t-D
App is good... please fix Apple Watch Heart rate
I have been using the app for about 8 months... it has been good so far. I got an Apple Watch last fall and the HR does not work regularly with the app. My wife has an Apple Watch too and has the same issue. All SW is up to date and the integration just does not work. A simple Bluetooth HR monitor works fine but then I have to turn the Watch integration off. 🙁 Update 5/9/21 - The Apple Watch HR integration just does not work regularly. The watch and phone are running the latest versions as of this date. My watch constantly says it lost connection to my iPhone when they are 1 ft apart. This always happens on my second workout when I am stacking. As soon as I dismiss that message the HR monitor starts working again. Then, once my watch screen turns off the connection is lost again. I have discovered closing the app and restarting it seems to resolve the issue until I get to the second workout with the app open.
Update - 8/7/21
Integration with my Apple watch is broken again. Peleton says it cannot find my watch when my watch is clearly paired with my phone and other app work fine. It is apparent that Peleton does not do proper testing to verify functions or they just do not care about devices other than their own.Show lessCarshopper82
Motivates me to work out
I cannot recommend this app enough. I don’t have a Peleton bike or any other Peleton equipment, I just have this app and let me tell you, I have never been so motivated to work out and I have never worked out so much in my life! I never played sports or really exercised much, but there is strength required with my job so I decided it’s time to get motivated. A friend recommended this app to me and it has honestly changed my life. I love the variety of workouts offered; for many you do not need any equipment besides a mat. The instructors are kind and helpful and they make it simple to follow along with the videos. I am halfway done with the beginner strength program and I can already tell I’m getting stronger. I do other workouts outside the program as well and for the first time in my life I have worked out every day for a week in a row! And I actually enjoy working out and don’t dread it. I seriously cannot recommend this app enough, if you are unmotivated like I was give it a try.Show lessCal52098
I love the app
I want to say that I’ve been a member of the Peloton community since July 2020 when I purchased my bike. I absolutely love it! I was one of the unfortunate consumers that recently had my tread + order cancelled this past week. So I decided to try and use the digital app and do some tread workouts at my friends gym. I did notice some connection issues when I went from a warm up class to the actual workout. I had to shut my Apple Watch off and restart it in order for my HR to register. I am also wondering why the watch app doesn’t register elevation when it’s a feature built into every newer version on the Apple Watch. I totally get that app users can’t get all the bells and whistles but you can definitely give a little more especially since the app when linked can read our HR and our distance why not give us our output, and elevation. I agree leave the leaderboard features to those that purchase the actual product. But metrics for so many of us is how we gauge our progress. Just a thought.Show lessLovelyone75
Absolutely amazing
I used the app before my tread arrived (April 24 and right on time) and I loved it. The Peloton app brings Peloton fans together in such a family way, I love it. Now I am using the app with the tread and omg I love it even more, the set up, the way it’s laid out, the quality of the screen with the app is amazing. If you are just using the app without a tread or bike it’s still amazing, you’ll love it. I am hooked on scenic runs, they are just stunning, and my favourite, trust me you’ll love the app and you’ll love being in the Peloton family, it’s friendly, people high5 you to encourage you and motivate you, it really is a buzz and it’s totally addictive!!! Come on join the best fitness family on the planet. xxxShow lessMiss Sharon K
Ok with drawbacks
For the most part, I really enjoy the app but ... More as feedback to Peloton
1. They ignore a large market - not everyone is their 20’s, 30’s or 40’s. There are very fit people in their 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and even 80’s who would love the app but the music selection is slim pickings.
2. If you like country music, class selection is slim pickings.
3. If you travel a lot and are off the grid, forget taking classes with you. Such a bummer. Other subscription services let you download your music, classes or videos and enjoy off the grid so long as you are paying a monthly service fee. This for me is the deal breaker. I am without any form of WiFi or cellular connection often and cannot understand why I cannot take my classes with me if I am paying for them.
4. The yoga classes that I have taken thus far are just so so. It is about breath and movement but the instructors just talk too much. It isn’t instruction but empty platitudes. Focus on the yoga. I know some people need to hear their name called out and a hardy pat on the back, but in the middle of a yoga class is just not the time.Show lessTsmoments
Needs More Functionality
I love the app and the classes. I’ve taken a few cardio and yoga classes so far and have been impressed with the descriptions and instructors. The cardio classes could use to show what level the classes are but otherwise it’s fine. The app is easy to navigate and I like being able to create myself a schedule. It would be a lot nicer if you could search the classes for a specific title or instructor instead of being limited to the filter option. There should also be one section for just bookmarked classes. I also thought that creating a stack of classes would let the classes play back to back automatically for a custom yoga class, however, I had to complete each one and manually go back to start the next class so not much different than just adding them all to my schedule. It would be nice if they played automatically and you could set up stacks from the mobile app. Also wish I could see my schedule from the website as well.Show lessA Struggling College Kid
Covid quarintine purchase
My spin bike was my covid quarantine purchase. I was not able to afford the Peloton bike but I use my spin bike along with the app and the set up really works for me. The classes are comparable to the ones I took in a studio. I love the convenience of being able to take classes on my own schedule and there’s so many classes to choose from you won’t get bored. My only gripe is the phone app and the firestick app don’t sync well. I tried to bookmark classes with my phone app and then pull up class on my tv but it doesn’t save on either platform. It will save 5-8 classes but it’s never the ones I recently bookmarked. It’s just frustrating when you’re ready to start your workout and having to filter then scroll for 2 min to look a for a class to take. I’d rather just pick one from a saved list. Also, last time I checked on the firestick tv app you can’t take the scenic rides. Overall though the app is a great motivator and tool to guide me with my bike workouts.Show lessappleforlife12
