Dennis Morton is around there too, although a bit smug for my taste personally.

For the cycling classes it can vary. Robin's interval classes are really hard, as are Kendall's. No one has mentioned Emma Lovewell yet, but I really like her classes and the HIIT or interval ones are really tough.

You can also go harder than instructed by adding resistance or going faster if you're so inclined.

I also love Cody. His classes aren't particularly hard, but he is entertaining and makes me laugh.

As someone who loves Cody - I do all his classes, Bootcamps etc and he’s more my speed.. who is comparable to him? I’m not looking for super hard rides..just a fun, good work out. I guess Callie is pretty close, but I still like Cody better. Any instructors besides Callie that are more in the Cody style?

Robin’s non-yellow wearing 30 minute 80s/90s classes are somewhat like Cody’s (chatty and moderate callouts). I also think that Jenn Sherman’s classes are of comparable difficulty.

Good to know this! I do like Robin’s theme rides. Jenn Sherman is probably my least favorite instructor by far.. her and Christine.

Never tried Bradley, so will give him a try- thanks! Agree - Denis does have a smug vibe going on.

I love Cody, and my other favorite is Hannah F. She has a really friendly personality, and her classes are really well-structured and probably a notch more challenging than Cody’s. I find her to be the most genuine, personality-wise; I rarely find myself cringing or rolling my eyes, which I do with pretty much everyone else (including Cody, much as I love him).

Ben Alldis is also good and sneaky challenging with a very low-key personality; the opposite of Cody, but I really like his classes if I’m looking for something more intense. I also like Emma—and agree with a PP that her classes can be very challenging—but I sometimes find the whole “you can do hard things” vibe to be annoying.

I only like Christine for her new wave rides. We are similar in age and clearly both in the goth scene growing up. But she is very self-helpish.

Bradley is really goofy and fun; I like him. "Smug" is a great word for Denis; he always rubbed me the wrong way, but I couldn't verbalize why.

So funny how you can react to different people! I love Denis and would never think to describe him as smug although I can kind of see what you're being turned off by!

I cannot STAND wilpers, I think he is smug and boring and has awful playlists. He seems like the guy at the frat party just nodding along with whatever happens.

Olivia - anything
Kendall - any ride where her hair is up in a ponytail or bun
Jess King - Sweat Steady (you don't have to love her to love the "sh*t shift")
Ally Love - Sundays with Love

I low-key love Kendall’s emo rides where she always has her hair down, not as hard (and drives me crazy that her hair is just everywhere) but a good break from the other type of rides. I like Ben Aldis and Olivia too.

Lol about Wilpers! I like Leanne and Ben who are engaged and I think make a great couple, but on the flip side I don’t care for Andy Speer and Rebecca Kennedy who are also dating. I’m all for keeping this peloton gossip/impressions thread going…

This is likely a newbie question, but what is a "Call out"?

It is when you are in a ride and the instructor is like 'Happy 100th ride BootyPopQueeeen' and 'Happy 200th ride RidinForWine'!!

I just got one for my 300th ride from SamYo and was QUITE excited. Talk about one instructor who could NEVER be mistaken for smug!

Spears is such a bro but his strength workouts are excellent.
