He did one ride a few days ago that I haven’t done but friends said he seemed really off and he’s not live on the schedule again until early next week. Hope he’s OK. So unlike him to not share what’s going on.

That ride was pre-recorded. I don't think he would be able to ride in the studio while he is either in quarantine or has COVID himself, so my guess is that it was recorded before all this happened. He didn't seem off--he was just more hard-ass than his usual Cody self. Hopefully the 2/9 schedule sticks! I'm looking forward to having him back on the live rides.

I just took that ride and it wasn't pre-recorded. He seemed AWFUL - trouble breathing, really slow. Hope he is ok.

It wasn't live. Therefore, it was pre-recorded. And how could they allow him in the studio if he's quarantining? Other instructors (like Kendall) have had to quarantine, for example when she was back from vacation..

He posted on IG that he has COVID, poor guy.

My friend ordered the "old" one because she could get an earlier delivery date. She was scheduled for January 21st and is now pushed until March. We only live a mile from each other. I really want to believe I'm getting my bike this week.

My bike came as promised yesterday! I did ask the delivery guys and they did say that there are several shipping containers being held at port.

Why don't they have more bike boot camps? I just got into them semi-recently (thanks to DCUM) and I have already done all the Cody rides. Working my way through Jess and Tunde now. I only do 2-3 a week (I prefer them to the regular rides) so I shouldn't be going through them that quickly. Are they really not that popular? Cody has made a few comments that imply as much, so that must be it? They have Tread Bootcamps every single day.

I don't like them at all and I like most content.

I love them, but they just started them in the fall - so there isn’t a deep catalog on demand yet. Robin seems to have done hers earlier in her pregnancy but hasn’t been doing them live like Jess, Cody, and Tunde, who each seem to do one live bootcamp a week. With only 4 instructors there just aren’t going to be as many classes as other cycle classes with like 20 instructors.

Hello - I am seeking some “easy” and “fun” ride recommendations in the 20-30 minute range if you have them. And I mean easy like one step above low impact ride if possible Thanks!

I hope they keep adding more! I just wondered if demand was low, because of course they could always add more trainers to the roster. It is for me the best Peloton offering and I am already rationing them! But it seems like most of the classes I've taken have already been reviewed tens of thousands of times, which seems like a good sign?

The 20 min 80s and 90s rides are fun and exactly one step up from low impact! I did one today when I needed to work out but didn't want to knock myself out

Check out Leanne. I think she ticks all of these boxes.

Ok, for you Peloton fanatics, is there anyone who can compare and contrast Peloton with Les Mills and opine on why one may be better than the other?

I’ve really been enjoying Les Mills on demand and own all their equipment. I’ve never done spinning and don’t have space for a bike (as we own a high-quality, well-used elliptical and lack space for two massive pieces of equipment).

I’m completely happy with our set up. That said, what if anything am I missing?

I started using les Mills on demand when the pandemic started last March. In November I decided to add the spin component. I thought about just doing the les Mills rides with a bike that was available at Costco. I first decided to try my SIL’s peloton bike. After 1 ride, I was sold on the peloton. The metrics make me work very hard during every workout. I sometimes focus on cadence or resistance depending on how my legs feel, but I’m always pushing myself. I know that les Mills cycling would not have given me the same intensity. I do miss how les Mills uses music for pacing but the metrics are an adequate substitute.

I still use les Mills for body pump with the les Mills equipment. Lastly, I plan to get a tv mounted in the room where we have the exercise equipment. After I do that, I will use the peloton for an occasional les Mills ride.

Pre-pandemic, I was full time at orange theory, so that gives me a pretty generous monthly target for dollars spent. And in the long run, assuming I continue to use all the equipment, it’ll save me money.,

Sorry. I missed that you weren’t looking to add the bike. Ha!

I would not switch from les Mills to peloton for lifting purposes—maybe the yoga, but not lifting. Peloton offers free trials of their app. You should try it and see what you think.

I use both Les Mills and Peloton and totally agree with PP. I would not get rid of Les Mills and switch to Peloton unless you have a bike or treadmill. Peloton does have some short, great HIIT cardio segments and also outdoor workouts that have audio cues for running, which is great. However, I love BodyPump and don't think the Peloton strength workouts are comparable. Peloton just added some pilates workouts, which is cool. As PP said, they usually have a free trial - you can always just try it and see if you like it. I find it nice to have more choices and it's still less than a gym membership.
