The world's largest Peloton community. We exist as a global gathering place for Peloton members to form meaningful connections with other Peloton members. Regardless of your choice of hardware or app platform, all who use Peloton are welcome. We all hold the same deeply held belief: through shared experiences, tips, and friendships we inspire each other through the good and bad to be the best versions of ourselves. We are started by/for Peloton owners; not affiliated w/ Peloton Interactive.


Content Philosophy

We prioritize content which benefits the community (news, rumors, discussions) over that which primarily benefits the individual (FAQ, DAE questions, help buying/selling, rants, etc). Before posting you must perform a modicum of research; consider if the topic is enough to stand as its own thread or should be a comment in the Daily Discussion thread. New posts which treat the subreddit as a dumping ground for complaints, tech support, and free personal training will be removed. Excellent resources for basic questions include our wiki, this Google search, and support@onepeloton.com

Strength Training Discussion [Weekly]

Welcome to the Weekly Strength Training Discussion!

Due to demand and community feedback we are trialing a Strength Training Weekly Welcome Discussion - a space to chat about anything related to strength training. Think of it like the "Daily Discussion" thread, where anything goes...big or small. Here, we've carved out a special place for people wanting to discuss ideas and topics about getting stronger, discuss strength training classes, how to get started with strength training, to get advice on dumbbell weights, discuss strength instructors, etc.

People are not limited to using this thread to discuss strength training. You can still post in the daily, training thread, or create a new post. Think of it as another place to chat about strength stuff without getting lost in the daily. Or a place you can check into weekly if you're a casual redditor looking for some other strength folks without wading through the daily.

The Strength Training Weekly will be posted on Sundays moving forward.

Note: The mods will check back in with the community to see how this idea is working, if there is a better day it should be posted on, etc. If it isn't working we can always scrap the idea or change it up a bit. Thanks for giving it a chance!

Broken Resistance - Bike+

I have the Bike+ (less than 1 year old, still under warranty, well cared-for) and recently, the bike made a weird noise in the center, and the resistance stopped working. I was told I need a “brake kit,” but it’s been out of stock for weeks, and I keep getting told to check in another week to see if it’s back. Has this happened to anyone else? For context: the brake itself works, but the resistance doesn’t change when I spin the knob, even though the screen says it’s going up/down. I already went through several troubleshooting steps, and recalibrating the bike solves nothing.

Rower Stats vs C2

I know most everyone in the Rowing community is going to recommend a C2. Even if you’re a subscriber, just use a tablet.

But, I like Peloton. I like the leaderboard, the classes, the sync between machines and app, challenges and all of it.

I’ve really improved over two months of Rowing on the Peloton. It’s helped me get back into better exercise.

With that said, has anyone checked on a semi frequent basis, how their Peloton stats stack up to a C2? I feel I’m busting it, and have been able to score Top 25 in the Leaderboard. But when I see some stats on a C2, I’m WELL behind.

Ultimately, it doesn’t mean much. I’m exercising and getting healthier, that’s what matters. But I’m curious.

Anyone?

45-Minute Power Zone Rides vs. 90-Minute: Which is More Beneficial?

Hey everyone! I’ve been doing 90- and 60-minute Power Zone rides, mostly in zones 2 and 3 for endurance. Recently, I tried a 45-minute Power Zone ride that focused more on zones 4 and 5, and I’m starting to feel like the 45-minute rides might be more beneficial for me.

Now, I’m wondering if it’s actually better to incorporate more 45-minute rides with higher intensity rather than sticking to the longer 90-minute ones. Am I on the right track? What are the main fitness benefits of a 45-minute Power Zone ride vs. a 90-minute one? Curious to hear your thoughts and experiences!

Tech Support [Weekly]

Given the recent influx of new members we have experienced an overwhelming amount of questions tech/hardware support. Many of your tech support questions can be solved by some good old fashioned basic troubleshooting. Please remember that we are not affiliated with Peloton Interactive and you will need to contact them directly for any warranty or service requests.

Given the sheer volume and repetitiveness of tech support posts, we simply cannot accommodate a new thread for every problem. If you cannot solve your issue by utilizing the wiki, we ask that you post your troubleshooting questions in the Tech Support Tuesday Weekly thread to seek advice first. Do not make a new thread without attempting basic troubleshooting and asking advice here first.

To get the best responses possible, you will need to be detailed and specific.

  • Note the platform: Bike, Bike+, Tread, Tread+, or App
  • If it is app related please include the platform (iOS, AppleTV, Android, FireTV/Firestick, Roku, etc)
  • Verify your devices and apps are up to date for their firmware/software
  1. Note any troubleshooting you've tried: restarting bike/tread/app, factory reset, clearing cache, uninstall/reinstall app, etc

Ride recommendations for helping with grief

I know I need to exercise. I know it will make feel better physically at least, but I’m struggling to self motivate. I saw there were some options for grief meditations but I couldn’t find any spin classes. I’m hoping maybe someone can recommend a ride? Something cathartic?

Reddit Core - Week 44 accountability post

We’re doing core every/most days this year. There are no rules, we do core every day, or a goal number of days a week that works for each person. You can still join us, and add #redditcore if you like.

The other day I did a one minute forearm plank without putting my knees down. The last few seconds were hard, when my brain tried to convince my body to quit. But my resolve overruled my hesitation and then it was over. In the first set I had my knees down for about 15 seconds, then the minute and the whole 30 seconds the last set. Like many of us, I didn’t set out to do it, it just happened. Just like bicycle crunches, an old nemesis, became easy because I forgot they were hard.

Bicycle crunches didn’t get any easier, I got stronger and they no longer hurt. Butterfly sit-ups. Tabletop crunches. And forearm planks. Our year is winding down but our resolve to maintain our strength isn’t. Think about what used to be hard and use that momentum to set your goals for 2025. ❤️

Connecting Samsung Watch to Bike outside supported country

Howdy, I've recently been given a Bike by my brother-in-law after he moved back to New Zealand and shipped it back with his stuff. I managed to sign up and I've been able to do classes etc. I recently got a Samsung Watch 7 and wanted to connect it for Heart Rate but it seems you need the Peloton app (which isn't available in NZ). I also couldn't seem to just directly connect via Bluetooth. Anyone have any advice or workarounds? Thanks!

Vibration or Grinding When Standing

I have an OG Bike, and I have noticed a vibration or grinding on the right side when I stand during climbs. I have replaced the pedals, but it still persists. Has anyone had this problem? It only happens when standing, so if I'm doing the same high resistance in the saddle I do not feel it. It is not a constant vibration. Instead, it happens when I am pushing down with one leg, so it seems like the issue is confined to one side. My partner has not had the same issue, but I do not believe they take many climbs, and they weigh less.

TV App + Apple Watch

I've seen older posts ask this question, but was wondering if anything has changed since then.

Is there a way to start a workout on a TV app and have your Apple watch sync with it?? Or do I HAVE to use the app on my phone and cast it to the TV?

PZ bar no longer showing up on free rides/entertainment rides

I have been using my kindle function on here since it was added and use the pz bar to stay on zone 3 for an hour but I went to ride today and the bar is gone. Is this an update or bug? Am I the only one with this issue ?

Edit- sounds like we all need to bug support about it and hopefully they will bring it back.

Cardio advice - what would you do?

Hey everyone,

I have a Bike+ at home and use it 4+ times a week as well as adding strength workouts. I travel a lot for work and often spend weeks/months away. During this time, I find it hard to know what to do cardio-wise, as I don't have my Bike+ and there are no local gyms. On the app, they have HIIT workouts etc - would these keep my cardio fitness up while I am away? Could I also add strength workouts on top of a HIIT or is that too much?

Many thanks for your thoughts!

Bike deleting workout data

Every few rides my bike will delete all of the data from the ride and I cannot figure out why. I use my Apple Watch during the workout, and it records everything to it. I get a workout summary at the end on both the bike and the watch that includes calories, distance, output etc. It’ll synch to my watch and show everything on my health app as well.

Then, a few hours later it’ll delete all the information. When I go onto the bike, iPhone app, or my watch, the workout will be there but all the data after a minute is gone. My calories burned on the health app drops back down but the workout minutes stay the same. When I go on the app I still see my output number as 236 when I look at the log of all my workouts, but everything else is gone and the output number in the actual workout is 3. So basically it shows I did a 50 minute ride, with 3 calories burned, and 0.24km biked.

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

iPhone 16 / iOS 18 Notifications Not Working?

Hey all! Hoping to use the hive mind here.

Ever since getting my new iPhone 16, I haven't been getting ride reminders or invite notifications. I've uninstalled Peloton, reinstalled, disabled and re-enabled notifications, updated iOS... nothing. Also having the same issue with my Tonal app.

Any ideas on what this might be? Anyone else having the same issues? Thanks!

New Buyers and Newbies [Weekly]

Due to demand and community feedback we are relaunching a Weekly Welcome Discussion for New Buyers and Newbies. Think of it like the "Daily Discussion" thread, where anything goes...big or small. Here, we've carved out a special place for people new to Peloton to discuss the issues common to ordering, waiting-on-delivery, delivery day jitters, new bike or tread setup, first class recommendations, instructor recommendations, introductions, accountability buddy finding, etc.

You do not have to be a new buyer to post here, and new buyers are not limited to using this thread. We just feel its important to welcome folks and give the never-ending (that's not bad!) numbers of new people a place to talk about issues they're all seeing - and might want some help or commiseration...from fellow humans in the same boat as them.

Helpful Tips:

  • We are not affiliated with Peloton Interactive. We do have a robust community that will help you troubleshoot most any problem.
  • Hoping for an earlier delivery? Once order is confirmed, call Peloton (866-679-9129) or XPO (844-742-5976) or use the "reschedule" link Peloton emailed ya.
  • Our wiki extensively covers everything Peloton, from buying, setting up, understanding metrics, researching instructors, connecting non-Peloton apps, using a DIY bike w/ Peloton app, and comparing features across Peloton apps. It's here: https://www.reddit.com/r/pelotoncycle/wiki/index

Does anyone know why a program I was doing would just disappear like I never did it??

Anyone know why Power of Sleep meditation would just disappear??

I was in the middle of week 2 and went in to do my nightly meditation and it says I haven’t even started the program 😭 like it disappeared from my Home Screen and then when I searched it and found it, it told me I had to start at day 1 again!
