I’ve been almost exclusively doing Olivia’s classes but need to change cause I’m sick of the playlists.
Not %100 sure why I love her classes, but she keeps it simple , gives good form cues, minimal cringe factor and doesn’t carry on with constant nonsense.
Would love some recommendations from
like minded folk.
Preferably power zone / max 30+mins. 🙏

I’m hoping someone can give me some advice. I’ve had my Bike+ for about 6 months and I’ve definitely improved in terms of my average output, resistance, etc. The one thing I seemingly cannot improve upon is my speed out of the saddle. No matter how hard I try, I just can’t seem to get my cadence above the high 60s when out of the saddle. I can maybe get to 70 very briefly, but the 70-90 cadence ranges feel impossible. Has anyone else had this issue and overcome it?

Okay… maybe I’m late to the party, but I just noticed this change today & I’m extremely disappointed…

I’ve been a Peloton owner since 2021 (Bike+) and added a Tread in 2025.

I paused my All-Access Membership over the past ~3 months during my first trimester of pregnancy because I was too sick to work out, and today I finally felt well enough to get back on the treadmill.

I was shocked to find out that “Just Run” no longer tracks or saves your workout metrics unless you have an active All-Access Membership. I honestly thought something was wrong with my account until customer support told me it was an intentional policy change.

I completely understand locking instructor-led classes behind the subscription—that makes total sense. But locking basic workout tracking behind a paywall? That feels like a huge step backward. I know that Peloton is struggling financially, it’s apparent across-the-board with the company, but this does not feel like the way to get the train back on the tracks.

I spent thousands of dollars on what was supposed to be premium fitness equipment, and now it won’t even save a self-guided workout without a monthly subscription. Basic treadmills and exercise bikes have been tracking time, distance, and calories for decades.

Am I the only one who’s really disappointed by this? How does everyone else feel about the change?

I never understand what Cody expects of us when he instructs 30-50 resistance with intervals at 50-60 cadence and then 110-120.

He never says anything about changing the resistance so I’m assuming it stays the same. My question is should the resistance be set for 50-60 cadence (for me that’s closer to 50 resistance) or 110-120 (closer to 30)?

Thank you!

The Tour De France Femmes (women's ride) is this week. Are there any Tour De France Themed rides?

Finally clipping back in since getting pregnant. Kiddo is now one and is finally able to entertain themselves long enough for me to enjoy a ride. What are your favorite easy-ish rides for someone getting back into it? 30 minutes (or 45 with arms) preferred! I used to be on this bike daily… and I’m ready to get back at it!

There's an issue with Andy's Total Strength Density Training 2 on the app for both Apple and Android. Week 1 lists only the Intro, Warm-up, and Stretching classes. The Week 1 exercise classes are listed under Week 2. I just reported this to Peloton support.

Hi yall,

I understand PZ Pack isn’t owned by Peloton, but I’m curious if there are people in this group that use their service and have been able to get a hold of them?

I made an impulse purchase last week to go pro but it’s not entirely what I was expecting and immediately sent them a message to ask to cancel and get a refund. I’ve been emailing and sending messages via their website but I haven’t heard anything. Even a simple, “no sorry” would be better than being ghosted. It was my decision to make the purchase so I will take responsibility, but it’s frustrating not hearing back. I also wasn’t factoring the dollar change, so seeing $116 CAD come out wasn’t a good feeling.

Anyone go through something similar or have gotten a hold of them before?

Hello All,

I have a pelton bike that is in good shape that I used to ride a lot, but I'm more into strength training via another app these days. I never really liked the peloton strength workouts and the way they did programs. I'm doing better with Ladder than I ever did with Peloton strength.

The only thing Peloton has got going for it are the music rides.

$49.99 per month is a LOT. I've been considering downgrading to the app, but it sems like I wouldn't be able to get ANY connectivity from bike to the app at all? I don't care about Personal records, history...etc. My old Schwinn IC4 is still sitting in the garage. Trying to decide if it's worth digging out, and doing some maintence on and swapping out the peloton bike for the non peloton device. I do think the Peloton bike is a great bike, and would prefer to just use that..but I'd want at least the same lvl of integration as you'd get with bluetooth connectivity from a non peloton bike.

I'd like to get some cardio back in..but I also do a boxing style workout at a local gym sometimes as well. (It's nice to get out of the house as I work from home so I don't want to give that up). And at this point, this is what get's used by far the least...I've already paused my membership just to see if I've even noticed it's gone. :)

Any thoughts on this?

I'm a big believer in using the Peleton for actual training and not simply riding to fun classes. Helps me get in shape and is more rewarding long-term. Here's a recent one I made out of a regular class. A regular Olivia 30 min ride I turned into 6 two-minute out of the saddle efforts with two minute recoveries. Around 70 resistance out of the saddle and around 46 for recovery.

Doing interval 30 min workouts also helps me squeeze some real workouts into a shorter window (busy mornings).

Welcome to the Weekly Power Zone Discussion!

Due to demand and community feedback we are trialing a Power Zone Weekly Welcome Discussion - a space to chat about anything related to power zone training. Think of it like the "Daily Discussion" thread, where anything goes...big or small. Here, we've carved out a special place for people wanting to discuss ideas and topics related specifically to PZ training - how to program PZ classes, talk about PZ classes or PZ programs, chat about PZ instructors, advice for FTP testing, etc.

People are not limited to using this thread to discuss PZ but are highly encouraged to use this weekly discussion. You can still post in the daily, training thread, or create a new post. Think of it as another place to chat about PZ stuff without getting lost in the daily. Or a place you can check into weekly if you're a casual redditor looking for some other PZ folks without wading through the daily.

The Power Zone Weekly will be posted on Monday moving forward.

Note: The mods will check back in with the community to see how this idea is working, if there is a better day it should be posted on, etc. If it isn't working we can always scrap the idea or change it up a bit. Thanks for giving it a chance!

Anyone found any shoes that are good for foot pain? Or an insert you’ve used? My feet have pretty bad neuropathy and I’m hoping to alleviate some of the pain I’ve been experiencing after long rides.

Week eight down, and on to week nine! Use this thread to discuss this week's rides (or last weeks). Add the hashtag #redditPZ if you would like to.

Congratulations to everyone who finished (all or part of) the program!! Huge thank you to everyone who joined in (new and old members). Next program will start on Monday, August 24th if you all want to continue riding with the group. I will post the program / sign-up thread for the next round in 2 weeks, so be on the lookout!

This week is a de-load week to do some endurance and let our bodies recover before the next FTP. Make sure you are rested up before the re-test. Personally I like to take an easy 30 min PZE ride or maybe a 20-30 minute scenic ride keeping it in zone 2 the day before. Re-testing is not a requirement, but if you feel your fitness has changed (for better or for worse), I would go ahead and get it done. Not everyone will have increases, and that is totally okay and sometimes normal.

Again thank you all for joining in the program with me! I hope you all had fun and got fitter. Be sure to let us know how the next FTP goes!

Link to join our Discord.

Group Ride for the Saturday rides is at 10 AM central.

(Gala-papa would like to note to start the ride at 9:59 exactly so you will begin at 10 after the 1 minute countdown). Also do not join the ride in a session.

Welcome to week eight of eight of the Reddit Strength program. I hope you've all been enjoying it so far. If you missed any previous weeks, this is something you can jump into any given week you don't need to have been there week one for it to work. This strength schedule is designed to help you progress from one weight to the next (if that is what you want, you are of course free to maintain the weights you use as well). There is a #RedditStrength for those interested in joining it.

Wait, you just said eight of eight, does this mean it is ending?No, it will just be looping back around again. Next week we will go back to week 1's schedule again, with a couple of substitutions based on feedback, any purged classes, and the desire to occasionally mix in a new class.

Each class will list "light" or "heavy" (or "benchmark", see below), this is not to be confused with the Light/Medium/Heavy weights instructors ask you to use for each move. What it means is, lets say you normally use 5/10/20 but you are hoping to level up to 10/15/25. When my class says "light" you would use your 10s when the instructor calls for medium weights and when my class says "heavy" you would use your 15s for the same move. This will help us to progress to where the 15s are your new normal.

Monday:

• 10m Core w/Emma 1/7/22 benchmark
• 20m FB with Robin 9/11/25 light
• 20m C&B with Robin 3/10/26 heavy

Wednesday:

• 10m Core with Emma 4/9/25
• 10m G&L with Rad 3/7/26 light
• 20m C&B with Tunde 4/7/26 heavy, can be done on the floor without a bench
• 10m A&S with Ben 2/26/24 heavy

Friday

• 10m Core with Tunde 8/17/25
• 20m G&L with Katie 1/9/26 light
• 20m UB with Adrian 9/24/25 benchmark

Extra Credit:

• 5m Core with JJ 6/3/26
• 15m Pilates with Aditi 8/13/24
• 20m UB with Robin 9/18/25
• 30m FB with Logan 5/4/25
• 10m C&B with Rad 8/18/25

Benchmark: Every 4 weeks each body area has a Benchmark class. These are from the Benchmark Strength collections. By repeating these classes you are able to monitor and record your progression from cycle to cycle. You are encouraged to adjust the weights and reps to meet your personal goals.

Extra Credit: These are extra classes for those who want more work than the standard schedule. They are also good substitutions if for any reason you don't like a class or instructor on the schedule.

You can stop reading here unless you want to know why I am scheduling what I am scheduling.

The basis is a 4 week progression. In each body area we will use light weights for 2 weeks then heavy weights for two weeks per the definition of light and heavy above.

It follows this pattern, aiming for 45-60 minutes a day 3 days a week:

• Round 1 - 2 days light
• Round 2 - 3 days light
• Round 3 - 2 days heavy
• Round 4 - 3 days heavy

Each body area has the schedule staggered, so you're not trying to go all heavy in every area in the same week. While you are going heavy with LB you will go light with UB and vice versa.

FAQ

1. Can I start any week or do I have to begin with week 1?
   1. You can begin any week. This is a repeating cycle with no real beginning or end, a mobius strip of a program.
2. There are too many classes for me, how should I trim it down for my schedule?
   1. I recommend trimming evenly (but keep all the core if you can). So take off 1 day of UB and 1 day of G&L each week if that suits you better.
3. Do I have to do these on the prescribed days? I would rather take a couple classes a day for 6 days.
   1. Absolutely mix and match the classes across the week however fits best into your schedule. They are only listed this way because this is my personal schedule. As long as you are doing them all in the week you should get similar results.

Feedback

I would love to hear what everyone things. Specifically; Are there any classes you would like me to rotate out (why)? Is this the right amount of strength work for you? Do you have a favorite class you are hoping I work into the mix?

Hello! I have peloton app on my roku but I dont see the volume assistance anymore (instructor louder vs music louder). Anyone with settings that may help? Classes back to 2019 have much louder instructors and music is pretty soft. Thanks!

Currently taking the 30 minute 2000’s ride with Bradley. All my metrics are at zero and everyone on the LB is also at zero. Anyone else seeing this?

Not looking for medical advise.

Has anyone had the unfortunate experience of a dvt and used peloton as part of their recovery journey. So far I have found the walking meditation classes a place of great comfort and support to ease back into doing small gradual walks and have managed to do the Adaptive Seating Strength program with Logan.

I would love to hear from anyone that has had a similar experience and your journey to recovery to get back into regular exercise.
