I’ll definitely miss his content - looks like they purged everything that was on demand.

Well how big was it?

I wish they'd let Andy go. He's a douche.

Andy seems to have a very strong reputation and is considered to be one of the best trainers in the New York area. I feel like Peloton keeps him around because of that, but in so many of his workouts he just isn't great on camera.
His strength program was underwhelming and he seemed awkward in so many of the workouts. Plus there was so much standing around and barely any lifting. Maybe it was a good option for people who have no lifting experience, but for people like me who have been doing the strength training programs for a while, it wasn't great. He does so much activation before every workout - sometimes it takes up half the class. I guess activation is really important, but I would prefer if they included that in a separate strength warm-up, so we can just really hit the ground running with the lifting right away. Maybe Peloton can keep him around to "train the trainers" so to speak, and take him off camera.

Oliver and Jess were my favorite strength instructors. The strength workouts are really lacking now that they have taken all of Oliver's workouts down.

Same. I started Oliver’s workouts because Andy’s were so terrible. I just went through looking for some others. And to see what I can remember from Oliver’s workouts. Haha

Olivia and Robin have some good strength. But Oliver was my favorite. I tried Andy’s strength program and was also underwhelmed.

I also like Olivia and Robin. They don't have much recent strength though. They are stretched thin already since they teach on the bike and tread. Selena has some good strength workouts. I've also done Matty's strength workouts and they are also good. I took a recent Glutes and Legs workout with Chase that was really tough; he seems to be getting better. In the past he took up too much time demonstrating each move.

I hope they take the opportunity to hire someone new to be the "lead" strength trainer.

Yes, there are D pics. I saw them. He's an idiot. There was no denying it was him. He shouldn't have sent them, but if he was going to be so stupid, at the very least he could have covered his stomach tattoo and put on a glove to cover the tattoos on his hand (but who jacks off with a glove...I digress...).

Oliver had my absolute FAVORITE hip stretch and I'm so sad that it was purged. He and Jess are my favorites because they don't waste any time. A 20 minute workout is truly a 20 minute workout. I also like doing 3 x 3 (3 exercises/3 rounds) and that's their usual format.

Jess should be the lead strength trainer, for sure. I felt like they picked Andy over her simply because she's a woman. She's 1,000X better than him at both training and teaching (she used to be an actual teacher).

Has anybody addressed the context in how they were sent? Did he send them to people unsolicited from his Peloton instagram profile? In that case I can see firing him. But if they weren't unsolicited or if he sent them through some type of a dating/hookup app, I think its inappropriate to fire him. He is entitled to have a private life.

I believe they were from his Peloton insta profile. No idea whether they were solicited or not, but I don't think that matters much. I mean, it's horrible if he sent them unsolicited, but for Peloton it's the same - if he wants to do that, it should be from a personal account. It would be like us sending pics from a work email - not acceptable.

I don’t like Jess. The way she talks is really annoying.

I like her but lately she has been coming off as a try-hard. She is putting on the "OMG I'm everybody's best friend!" shtick too much lately. This is what I will miss about Oliver. He was totally natural on camera and always came off as straightforward, genuine and down to earth.

I don't know if the photos were solicited or not, but whoever he sent them to posted them on reddit. Or the someone showed them to someone who captured them and posted because after posted, they were taken down quickly. But already captured on reddit. Stupid mistake. I liked him.

Oh geez. He’s an adult. He should have learned from the dumb teens that nothing good comes from sending naked pics.

Andy speer has nudes out there too. I guess his are more artistic and less solicited.
