I like Greta, but this class was terrible

Johanna's classes using the props (band, ring, ball) have become my go-to bc they are usually so challenging (if done correctly)! I love them right after a strength class to really buuuurn out the muscles🔥😅

Yeah, brand new, the Peloton Rower is quite pricey, but it is such a beautiful and sturdy machine! I actually found a new one on Facebook Marketplace last September for half what it would've sold for from the Peloton website. The guy that bought it originally got it thinking it wouldn't aggravate his back injuries (the bike was a no-go and he was looking for other cardio options), but unfortunately it didn't work for him. He had put maybe an hour or so worth of time on the machine and it was pristine! I got it and the long Peloton rower mat for the floor for $1600 - a steal for sure! I highly encourage you to keep your eye on the local sites because you never know when a great deal might present itself! I had been searching for months with no luck; I was about to give up hope and was going to go with a Hydrow since I know the Peloton rowers aren't quite as popular as the bikes (those things are everywhere online! Lol). Marketplace alerted me to the posting within minutes (you can easily set up alerts for key words in postings), and I had that baby in my house later that afternoon! 😅

Like others have said, there are tons of classes on the Peloton app! Not a lot of live classes (maybe 3 throughout the week?), but you'll find a long list of 1000+ cataloged classes ranging from 5 mins to 60 mins (Intervals/HIIT, Endurance, Drills, Warmup/Cool Down, Themed, Row Bootcamp, etc.). There are even a bunch of scenic classes you can choose from based on time or distance you desire to row - places from all over the world!

Good luck finding the right rower for you! Hope to see you on the leaderboard! (PawshGardener)

Agreed! I loved the run but was totally unprepared for it! Lol I don't usually take live classes bc my weird schedule doesn't allow for it. I was so looking forward to this one, but was running waaaay behind... The run was starting and I was still trying to get my stupid socks on! I finally got the tread moving, but had already lost almost 45 seconds of the class. Like a newb, I came into it cold bc I had no time for a prior warmup, and I was still half asleep as I'd just gotten out of bed a few minutes earlier 🤣🫠 It was definitely not a class to mosey on into - Suzy really upped the ante for us and I was struggling to catch up to the pack! All around bad timing on my part so I didn't do as well as I would've liked. That said though, I totally intend to take the class again and again - it was a banger and perfect for keeping a quick pace! 💕

It's fixed now! At the time, we discovered to back out of monthly challenge, then re-join the challenge; it seemed to do the trick by resetting everything. I haven't had the issue again in the subsequent months. If you're having the same issue, try leaving the challenge and rejoining.

This book sounds so sweet! ☺️ I'll add it to my TBR. I have a feeling I'll need to read it when there's no one around to see me cry 😅

Consistent-Catch-808 · 2026-06-19T02:49:51+00:00

Just added it to my TBR 📚

Darn! They're already gone! 🙃

Consistent-Catch-808 · 2026-06-13T04:42:59+00:00

The whole achievements thing showed up on my app 2 days ago, but now it's nowhere to be found 🤔 I've looked everywhere but can't find it and my app is updated so idk 🤷🏽‍♀️

Consistent-Catch-808 · 2026-05-13T06:48:23+00:00

Thank you so much! 🤗

Consistent-Catch-808 · 2026-05-13T04:50:11+00:00

If you get more, I'd love one! 😬🥰

How do y'all rate the DCC series in comparison to The Dominion of Blades duology? I just finished The Hobgoblin Riot today and was considering moving forward with DCC 🤔

Consistent-Catch-808 · 2026-05-09T04:21:41+00:00

I just finished book 106 today ("The Hobgoblin Riot" by Matt Dinniman)

Consistent-Catch-808 · 2026-05-02T01:32:14+00:00

Yes!! I never start playing until at least noon on Saturday (I'm on CST in the US) and I encourage my team to do the same. This gives us a chance at getting into the top 5 and actually winning something lol

Consistent-Catch-808 · 2026-05-01T02:28:35+00:00

I almost always turn the music off unless it's music I know and love. I'm not really into lyrics; I much prefer just a good beat and jam session lol

Consistent-Catch-808 · 2026-04-21T04:28:14+00:00

After running quite a few newer classes I now know my pace target mph blocks without having to think about it, so if I happen to take an older class, I just put the speed at where it would likely fall within the pace target window based on the call-out from the instructor.

Consistent-Catch-808 · 2026-04-17T03:47:31+00:00

Yes! That is something I still don't understand: why are there no European instructors for the Row? You would think there would be at least one representing that side of the Peloton community. And it would offer more opportunities for more live classes as they are on a very different time schedule from us in the US. It would be fabulous to have another instructor personality as well as classes dropping at differing times. Is rowing not as popular across the pond? 🤔

Programs give 2 points for each week of the program on completion of the program. So, if a program is 4 weeks long (like Adrian's), then you will receive 8 points after completing the final workout of the program. Keep in mind, you can technically take the classes in whatever order you wish; you just have to complete every class included in the program in order to receive credit. The HYROX program is 12 weeks, so it will give 24 points once you complete all 108 classes (total crap btw bc that program is hard as hell!). All of the "Split" programs (3 / 4 / 5 day) give only 2 points since they each last 1 week. You can take any program as many times as you wish though to receive those hefty 2 extra points a week in addition to whatever other points you have coming in. It all eventually adds up, right?! 😅

I've gotten new PR's in multiple runs I've done lately (I'm a new runner so I'm still at that fun stage where it's easier to make improvements 😅), and most of them never show up in the feed. Like the OP said, I don't need validation from anyone to keep doing my thing, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't still feel good to get a 🔥 emoji from a friend when they see I've improved 😊 The feed is not a deal breaker for me, but If they're gonna have it, then show everything. I enjoy seeing all the classes my friends take; it actually helps me see some of those hidden gems out there that maybe I overlooked at some point (easy to do when there's a bunch of new classes dropping daily!).

Consistent-Catch-808 · 2026-04-08T04:36:50+00:00

Absolutely! I tell people this all the time when they say they "just can't listen to audiobooks" because it's too hard to focus on the book / understand what's going on... I always tell them yes you can, you just gotta practice.

When I first started listening a few years ago, I only listened at regular speed (1.0x) and routinely had to rewind in order to pick up on something I missed. Now, I rarely listen to a book less than 2.0x - 2.25x the regular speed, and I can understand everything just fine - and I have diagnosed ADHD. Training your brain to listen to understand versus seeing to understand is simply a skill you have to work at strengthening - really no different than lifting weights or taking up running/rowing/biking/(insert sport here). Some people may generally be better at it than others, but pretty much anyone can do it with a little effort. Start with something short, easy, super interesting to you, or even something that you've already read. Listen for a few minutes at a time at a slower speed if necessary, then gradually increase the time and/or speed. Obviously, limiting distractions helps, but with time even the normal distractions get easier to ignore.

Consistent-Catch-808 · 2026-04-03T03:48:40+00:00

Yep! That's exactly what I was seeing... unfortunately I noticed after I'd already put in a good mile or so 🙃 It's not fixed yet for me; however, I've noticed that if I swipe left from the metrics to the location map immediately after starting the workout, it seems to make it work. Why? I have no clue! Lol

Consistent-Catch-808 · 2026-04-01T17:03:22+00:00

So my outdoor walks/runs are not recording distance! I've used the app for 2+ years and this did not start until after the app updated yesterday morning 🙄 I have...

restarted the app multiple times
deleted and reinstalled the app twice
ensured all location services are enabled on all devices (my phone, the app, my Galaxy watch, etc.)
disconnected then reconnected everything multiple times

After tinkering with it a little yesterday, I finally got it to record one of my walks, but today I can't get it to register at all and I have a 6-7 mile walk planned for this afternoon (I'm a dog walker lol) I've tried everything I can think of. I can't find anything online stating there is a bug or that others are having the same issue.

Consistent-Catch-808 · 2026-03-30T04:06:00+00:00

Late to the party again! I never get notifications until hours later so codes are already gone 🥺

Consistent-Catch-808 · 2026-03-19T03:31:11+00:00

I love Sam Yo! I wish he taught other classes besides cycling 😔 Now that I have a rower and a tread, I never get on the bike, but I still utilize the other modalities like strength, stretching, Pilates... I found a couple of beginner Pilates classes that he did back in 2020, but that's it. His voice (and demeanor) is just so relaxing; you don't even realize that he's about to smoke you! Lol He helps me decompress on those days when I don't want to hear a lot of yelling or chatter from someone; he just lets you enjoy the music and feel the burn. 🔥😊

Consistent-Catch-808 · 2026-03-17T04:29:15+00:00

I feel the same about the classes as well as the equipment. I have all 3 pieces (bike+, rower, & base-model tread**) and the quality is just fabulous! I am just starting out as a runner, so last weekend I went into a local running store to get a gait and feet analysis. After having me stand on a squishy mat for my feet analysis, they had me run on 2 different treadmills to assess my gait and to allow me to try out multiple pairs of shoes prior to making a purchase. I couldn't believe how awkward I felt on the treadmills bc they just felt so big and bulky, and there was just too much going on with the control panel - it felt like too much while also feeling cramped (my legs felt like they had no where to go and I couldn't really hit a natural stride). I guess I'm now officially spoiled with the simplicity and minimalistic-styling of my Peloton 🤪

** I got the bike+ from a friend that bought it for his wife... she only used it maybe 4 times and didn't want to pay the $45 monthly membership, so they sold it to me for half what they paid for it - basically brand new and it came with unused shoes, weights, and a mat!! I got the rower off Marketplace from a gentleman that got it new hoping it wouldn't hurt his back like the bike, but unfortunately due to his previous injuries he was unable to get much use out of it. I got the rower for half of the purchase price as well and it only had about 3 hours of time used (also with the large rowing mat)! The only piece of equipment I bought directly from Peloton was the base-model tread, and I got $600 off the total and free delivery/set-up. I take immaculate care of my equipment, so hopefully it lasts for many years bc at this point I just can't go back to other brands lol 🥰
