What about non-cycle classes (cardio & strength) in the app? Waiting for my bike to be delivered and would like to start doing some workouts from the app.

Random thoughts on this thread:

- Totally bothers me when Alex stops peddling and then just pounds his fist at you telling you to go. Like you go too dude!

- Denis’s gf is awful. The MLM, the squirrel petting... she’s absurd.

- Jess King is crazy but I love her. Follow her on IG for serious entertainment.

Me too! It drives me crazy. It’s even worse when he stops pedaling, then claps for you, but then stops that and just says “keep going!”. It really throws me off.


Sometimes I think Alex stayed up drinking the night before. Jess King does it to. I wonder if they are teaching multiple classes and just get tired.

Irene? I really like her, she’s upbeat, and has a cute accent. I also took an arms toning class with her that was in German. I speak German but think even people who don’t could follow along, since you just do whatever she does. Plus a lot of the “fitness speak” was in English

I average around 500 KJ total output in a 30 minute class, so I go pretty hard.

I think Robin’s classes are by far the hardest, followed by Kendal.

Denis and Alex are probably my favorite overall, but their classes aren’t as hard.

So the consensus seems to be that Olivia is the hardest?

I really like Leanne. She was the first instructor I tried. All of her rides are clean so I usually ride with her if my young kids will be popping in and out of the room. I also really like Cody and ride with him when I want to have some fun.


There is an explicit filter option. You won’t have any rides with swearing or explicit lyrics if you turn it on.


Ahh! I hadn’t seen that. I’ve only had my bike for a month so I’m still playing around with options. That is good to know when doing daytime rides.


Several of the instructors don't swear. Olivia, Matt, Tunde, and Ally for sure (although she may have said "shit" on a ride I took today, but it wasn't noticeable). Even without using the filter function, you can be sure that none of these instructors will drop any f-bombs.

Omg, I have been wanting to talk about his GF with someone. She is so so so clearly trying to get IG famous through him. I hate followed her on IG a long time ago, and every post is either promoting her Pilates classes or her “modeling” (which is funny because there aren’t a lot of 5’2”, 30+ y.o. “models”) or about him. He is tagged in all her posts.


Who is his girlfriend? Now I am curious but I don't see her in any of his IG feed pics.


She’s not in them. She tags him WAY more than he tags her (like 20:1) which contributes to the whole “wannabe” thing. Look at the pic on the top right of his page - where he has on the TV T-shirt, by the water. She’s listed as photog.


You guys! I just checked her out and she’s also an MLM hun! More reason to hate!

So it’s blank? Live from home is only once a day, 10am

Yes, it's blank. So I wasn't able to participate in Alex's class this morning.


Did anyone take this class? Alex's live from the other day? I just took it this AM - the poor guy was struggling so much with music outages, airpods falling out - he was getting so frustrated with whoever was there with him, like stage-whispering "look on the counter!" He made it work though!

I agree that is so cute they’re dating. I did Robin’s live from home and the sound was off. I’ve actually never taken a LeAnne class (except the women’s month one she did with Hannah) although I’ve done a lot of bens. Maybe I’ll try it.


They are dating?! They are my 2 favorites so that makes me so happy! Excited for his ride from home tomorrow morning.


They just made it public last week! Look at their IGs - they each posted. Super cute.
And then Cody commented that he was so happy they went public because he was one tequila soda away from spilling it since “bitch can’t keep a secret”


Wet blanket alert. I can't take Cody's classes because I've never met a man or woman with a "bitch" schtick that I didn't find incredibly off putting. My last Cody class was where he said his dream was to be the queen mean girl in an 80s set high school. I just hate that shit ...


I usually also hate it, but Cody doesn't bother me because he's so self-deprecating.
