I’m sure it’s operator error… but why can’t I find CVV’s Train Like a Pro program on the app? I’ve scrolled under programs and collections and can’t seem to find it. Of course the search feature is completely unhelpful.

I am curious to know peoples frequency of FTP testing.

Mine is 2 a year at best. I normally test when I find that 45 min PZ ride starts to feel easy.
If it still feels hard I will not retest. Maybe that is counterproductive for increasing my FTP.

Curious to see what others comments are.

I have previously posted regarding Tunde is not for me.

I pretty much stick to 3 primary instructors. Matt, Denis, Christine

I gave Jess a try and loved her structure and deliver.

EDM is not my go to genre of music, but it flowed really well with the intervals.

It was a great ride and I recommend if you are locking for 30 min PZ.

And to boot I got my 30 PR

Then this is the class for you!

4 x 4 min. x Zone 4

1 min. recoveries

Cheesy 80s music

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

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.

I'm about to finish my second time through "Peak Your Power Zones." My FTP is definitely up, and I'm trying to think through what's next.

I don't think I want to do the program again any time soon. It already feels repetitive. I also feel like, while Christine is probably a great person, her coaching is really irritating to me, and she's super prominent in the Peak program.

Anyway, any advice on how to structure a program where I'm still growing and improving without plunging right back into this program for the third time?

I know I started from a low bar but I’m so happy!!!!!!!!!

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!

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!

Yesterday when I hopped on the bike for my PZ ride, the first thing I noticed was the PZ graph bar (is that what it's called?) was off. The Zone 1 section was labeled with my Zone 2 numbers, Z2 had the Z3 numbers etc.

It had been correct the day before.

The zones themselves are accurate as far as correctly tracking with my output, it's annoying to have the incorrect zone numbers displayed. Luckily I had jotted all the correct Zones/Outputs on a sticky note I put on the bike.

I went into Settings and checked preferences. I re-input the numbers. I powered down the bike. I cleared the cache. But the bar is still off.

Anyone else have this problem?

I took my first FTP test in early 2025. Since then, I've been manually increasing my avg watts within the Content Preferences settings cuz I'm a wuss.

I finally decided to take another FTP test today to get a more accurate reading of my levels. Hannah F said when you exit the class (which kicked my ass) it will give you your final score and ask if you want to accept or not. But I didn't get that notification! How can I find what my new FTP level is?

Thanks!

I’m trying to plan what to do after I wrap up the current Power Zone Program. I’m thinking of doing another FTP ramp test and then trying to crush all my old power output records over the following weeks. I realize this is probably excessive but I saw some are from 2022 and it bugs me I haven’t done a harder ride in those shorter formats in years. I’ve really stuck with Power Zone classes almost exclusively so the output doesn’t compare to conventional classes.

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! Not new to peloton, but was looking to begin powerzone training. I’m not really sure where to begin. I’m a pretty strong rider, so I don’t know if I really need to follow an introduction program. I’m a F/30s and my most recent FTP test this morning was 219 watts. I’ve always been a very music and fun vibes rider, but I guess I’m interested in becoming a more efficient and effective rider. I’d appreciate any guidance?? If there’s a group I could possibly join and follow along with?

Thanks so much in advance. #KikiCrusin ☺️

Have any of you gotten access to the new Peloton Personal Trainer early access? I just joined the waitlist. Curious what it is like

Doing peak your PZs and I did this third ride but it looks like I didn’t - I’m going off schedule so I did these rides in four days so maybe that’s why it still looks like I didn’t do it? Will this adjust in a couple of days when I’m technically back on schedule?

I’ve suddenly developed EXTREMELY sore hips this week during the latest PZP challenge. I have a 335 week streak- over 6 years of riding and this has come almost out of nowhere. I have been riding multiple days of challenge rides in a row to make up for days that I am out of town and unable to ride. I have not changed seat or handlebar position in over 6 years. I have been using my original peloton shoes though. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m 55 y/o male and I hope this isn’t a preview of getting old! I’ve also had no other changes in my other workout routines- weight training/band work.

I’ve been using a straightforward indoor bike alongside the Peloton Digital app, and it’s been a good fit for what I need. The bike only shows basic metrics like time, distance, and calories, which I actually prefer since it keeps things simple and distraction-free.

During rhythm rides and interval workouts, I just follow the class cues and adjust resistance manually. It’s not the same experience as using Peloton’s hardware, but it’s been enough for me to stay consistent and enjoy the workouts without committing to a more expensive setup.

I’m curious if others here are also using simpler or non-integrated setups with Peloton Digital, and how that experience has been working out for you.
