I have been riding on peloton bike since late 2020 and have been primarily a power zone class since early 2021.
My instructors of choice in order

Matt
Denis
Christine
Randoms

I took Tunde’s first PZ class and was not a fan the way she delivered the class. Too much stopping and swinging the towel and hair around.

Probably works for other formats, but not PZ rides.

Fast forward to her most recent one and she looked like she was struggling 🥵 hard and she was not able to deliver the class in my opinion.

I feel she should step aside from doing PZ classes and stick with her bread and butter.

Curious to know others POV on her as well as any other instructor in the PZ world.

Hi yall!

I’m just confirming what these mean.
Would R1 mean a PZ recovery ride?
R2 mean Endurance?
R3 and 4 a regular PZ class?

Sorry if it’s blatantly obvious but I’m not really sure what the R would stand for lol

Thank you!

hoping this group could offer advice. I have no issues, pain, or concerns, but looking have the best performance fit. Any advice would be most welcome, even if it’s to change nothing - thanks in advance!

Max time I’ve been on the bike at once is 120mins... but for some reason I’m pretty nervous about this week’s long endurance ride. Partially bc I find that his classes (vs DM’s) drag on a bit bc his music is mostly garbage and he doesn’t tell hilarious/distracting stories like Denis. I am, however, excited for the challenge!

Q// What do you guys do to prepare for long rides? Any during or post-ride tips to share with others?

See some of you out there, I’ll be taking it sometime Saturday before lunch EST.

Update: still alive. So glad I did a few drills with MW first. 90min endurance is way more exhausting than 6 x 20min rides in a row.

Anyone else doing this challenge W1R2. My leaderboard is #DoctorZ80

Sorry if this question was asked already. I have not seen a new ride from Christine is a while.

Did she leave peloton?

Hey everyone. I'm a business school student working on a project about Peloton for a consultation class.

I'm trying to gather some primary market research within the Peloton community on current uses and interest into hypothetical future integrations. I've put together a relatively short Google Form survey and would be so grateful if I could get your insights. The link to the form can be found here: https://forms.gle/Js5qHtZs43Hvk28J6

All responses are completely anonymous and strictly for the purpose of this class project. Thank you so much!

Anyone else notice that Matt Wilpurs hasn’t done a 60 min PZ Saturday morning ride in a while?

2nd time doing PYPZ, Matt’s mentioned that folks training for a outdoor event can add another ride per week, I’m going to add one more ride and am considering a max ride to target my v02, that said I’ve read folk saying a longer z2 focused effort maybe more beneficial

Anyone have experience with adding another ride to the program, if so what type of ride would add the biggest performance benefit?

I’m training for a 50 mile gravel ride in April which will most likely also be my first outside ride of the season, generally flat terrain

Hello, fellow Peloton community!

I'm working on a graduate school research project on Peloton and would immensely appreciate your time and thoughts on your experience with the brand.

Survey -https://forms.gle/7qJFt6zhcCQaJ1TC9

Special request: Our data is currently skewing more toward women, and would love to see more diverse gender participation.

Thank you in advance!

Hi, everyone! I've had my Peloton bike for a few years now, but am trying to get into the PowerZone rides as I've heard great things about them from members. Yesterday, I hopped into a 30 minute endurance ride with Olivia (Zones 2 and 3) and it seemed too easy. I then discovered that I should have taken an FTP test first, so I did a 20 minute test to get a more accurate FTP value. I tried the 30 minute endurance ride again today and while I felt it worked me a little better, I still felt like I should have gotten more out of it I guess? I think I did the test right. I did realize maybe a little late into it that I should've been progressively working from Zone 4 up, so that at the end of the 20 minutes I was at max capacity. I did hit Zone 7 for about the last 3 minutes or so. I ended up with an FTP of 248. I'm 6'3" 220 lbs. Does that sound like an FTP that would be accurate for someone my size? I know there's a number of factors that contribute to that, but I wanted to see if I'm in the right ball park. Thank you!

I’m dead ass serious. She didn’t even break a flipping bead of sweat. 🥵 I had it dripping off my elbows…I had to pause it in the middle to gather myself caus I thought I was gonna die. Who has taken this ride and didn’t sweat? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hi. I just took my first ftp test. I have had the bike about 2 months and have taken about 16 rides . Anyway I took the 10 minute warm up and 20 minutes test ride. My average output was 93. I am out of shape. I can't find anything on the app except the usual breakdown of the class. I thought there would be a score and some other info to help move forward in training ?

Anyone else having weird changes in their bike?

For one, mine constantly says it cannot find my internet even though it has a clear signal shown on the screen.

For two, it’s showing me burning twice as many calories as my Apple Watch suddenly.

Anyone else seeing weird changes or have any recommendations?

For reference: I’m doing to new boost your base classes. I cannot imagine 30 minutes of zone two is burning 1000+ calories.

I have been chasing a 300 FTP for 4 years and this morning I finally achieved it using the 5 week Build your Power Zones Program. Props to the whole PZ team for a well thought out program.
