Speaking of hardcore athletes, I think Becs is incredible. I did one of her body weight classes and it about killed me. I love her classical music runs and walks.


I love Becs. She's in my top 3 with Ben and Wilpers. Has a good balance of personal commentary (though she does tend to talk a lot about her boyfriend) and coaching, and a great music selection, especially the classical rides. Very solid, intelligent coach.

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


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.


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…


My thought excactly! I feel like Ben and Leanne are the real thing, and now Andy and Rebecca are trying to be the Us version. They seem so awkward together on the Instagram posts.

I love Hannah F! Seems like a real athlete and a coach. I get so turned off by all the touchy, feely stuff. I like some quotes I hear but not constantly stating how beautiful, empowered I am😀


It doesn’t help that Andy and Rebecca are so so awkward individually. I almost never do their classes unless it’s on HCOTF or the playlist or a special class. Are they even a real couple?

Oh Kendall - I love her!! Have you ever heard her story? She struggled through the teen years, home schooled, suffers from horrible anxiety - definitely not one of the popular girls. She’s super close with her dad who I think really helped her thru her dark times


Did you know she’s from Southern California?


What does that have to do with anything?


I think it’s a reference to the fact she always talks about being from California. Which she does. But I just don’t find her full of herself like Robin and Ally. I find them both obnoxious and have started to believe their own hype. I find Robin nauseating. You would think she is the first pregnant woman to have ever exercised.

I can't stand Jenn Sherman or Robin (I know I'm in the minority on Robin).

For a fun ride, I always go to Cody, Ally or Dennis depending on my music mood.

For therapy, Emma Lovewell or a Jess King Sweat Steady

For strength training, I love a 45 min Jess Sims or any 20 min Selena Samuela. Rad Lopez is good too


I don't think you are. I like her classes and think they're fun, but she is a bit fake.


Agree! It’s a shame because I am sure the company encourages them to posts and have followers but I think her ( and a few others) have forgotten why they are there. They have started to believe they are the story. Robin is now just so over the top.

I like Matt and Hannah F as focus on the athletics. I like Ben and Leanne for the music. I like Cody when I need to laugh. I like Emma as …I just do!

I love Kendall! She was my top 2021 instructor. I like her style and music choices. I’m into that 90s/00s pop, punk, metal, ska music. I agree that she isn’t part of the inner circle but she seems to have her own group within Peloton - she has some group photos with instructors other than Robin and Ally. I can’t stand Ally but I like Robin.

I agree that it looks like she and her BF broke up, but she’s chosen to keep it private and I respect that.

For m, Robin and Tunde are the hardest. I love taking classes with Kendall, Cody, and Alex. I love British accents so I enjoy taking some classes for fun with Leanne, Bradley, Ben and Hannah F.

He is awful. I can’t stand Brad


What don't you like about him?


He tries too hard to be the British Cody. He’s not funny although he thinks he is. He is just unfunny and unlikeable as an instructor


I felt the same way about him at first but I ended up taking a lot of his classes because I love pop punk music, ESPECIALLY for exercising, and he is the only one who does pop punk rides (Kendall has a few that I also love) and he has grown on me. At first I also felt like he was a try hard but you ride with him enough it somehow migrates from try hard to earnest <shrug>


I recently started taking his rides because people on this thread suggested him to me as an alternate to Cody. While I don’t love him as much as Cody and he doesn’t have that natural charismatic personality that Cody does, I do enjoy his playlists and I can keep up (which I can’t do with some of the other instructors)… so I think he’s a decent option. Thanks to all for the suggestion!
