Misc
Peloton is known for their cycling classes (and now running, strength, soon rowing, and more) and world-class instructors. They would also love to sneak into your wardrobe to supply fitness apparel to take your workouts to the next level. Peloton creates their own clothing, and they partner with popular brands such as Adidas and Lululemon to create premium workout apparel. As we all know, these items do not come cheap. It can be hard to dish out 55 dollars for a sports bra or 100 dollars for a pair of leggings. Thankfully, Peloton has a program in place to help you own some of their apparel for the price of inviting your friends to join the Peloton family – giving you a discount in the process!
Peloton Referral Program – How It Works
What does a Peloton Referral Code Get You?
If you can convince a friend or family member to purchase a Peloton device or piece of hardware, then you are eligible to receive $100 online apparel code (or your country’s equivalent currency in Canada, the UK, Germany, or Australia) towards the purchase of Peloton apparel. You do not have to feel bad for using your friend either! They will also receive $100 dollars to spend on accessories for their new piece of Peloton hardware. What a great opportunity for you to get a great piece of workout clothing and your friend to get an extra piece of equipment to help start this Peloton fitness journey! Let’s talk about how to utilize this program:
How To Find Your Peloton Referral Code
To let Peloton know that you are the specific individual who led your friend or family member to join the Peloton family, they have supplied every member who owns Peloton equipment a referral code. Your code will be listed on this url once you are signed in:Â https://account.onepeloton.com/settings/referrals
The page will look like the picture above with your code listed where the black box is located. Â This is easier to find through a web browser than it is on the Peloton app. Â You can also use the top right drop-down menu, and there is a “Refer Friends” menu link. Thankfully, Peloton has added buttons under your code where you can share your referral code through email, Facebook post, or Tweet to invite friends to use your code.
How To Find A Peloton Referral Code / Peloton Discount Code
If you don’t have any friends with a Peloton referral code, you can always email us and see if we have any available!
Enter Peloton Coupon Code at Checkout:
You have given your code to your friend, and they are ready to purchase their new Peloton Bike. Where do they put in your code? On the checkout page under the tax listing, you will see a button asking for a promo code. Click that button and enter the code there.
The referral code will not work without an accessory in the cart, so you will need to make sure that you include a pair of cycling shoes, dumbbells, or some other accessory to take advantage of your code. After you click apply, you will see the 100 dollars taken off the total.
Buy Some Merch!
After your friend uses your code, you will receive an email from Peloton with a promo code for 100 dollars off apparel. The steps for redeeming this are the same as the promo code above. Make sure to tell your friend thank you for using your code!
Peloton Referral Code FAQs
What can the Peloton Referral Code be used for?
You can use your 100-dollar credit on any accessory from the Peloton store. These can be found here:Â https://www.onepeloton.com/shop/accessories/bike. I would personally recommend a pair of shoes to go with your new bike or dumbbells if you are getting the tread.
Why is my Peloton Referral Code not working?
The most common issue with Peloton referral codes comes from the members not having added any accessories to their cart before entering their referral code. You have to make sure you have an accessory in your cart before the code will work – otherwise there are no items to apply your discount to.
I share an account with another user and can’t find my Peloton Discount Code. Â Where is it?
At the end of 2021, Peloton updated their referral program so that only the primary account holder (the one who pays the monthly bill) is eligible for the referral program.  Secondary members can no longer refer their friends.  You can read more about that change here.
How many times can my Peloton referral code be used?
Starting in 2022, Peloton changed the maximum number of times everyone’s referral code can be used to 6 a year.  In prior years, each code could be used 12 times a year.  This means the maximum amount of apparel credits each member can get, assuming they have one subscription, is $600.  This number of referrals resets on January 1st every calendar year.
Do I need my friend’s Peloton referral code if I am buying in store?
If you are buying in store or via the phone, an associate can look up your friend’s code by using their phone number and name.

The Peloton Guide is a new strength device from Peloton, scheduled to be released on April 5th. As the date has gotten close, more and more details are starting to be released. Here are some details about the device.
What is the Peloton Guide?
The Peloton Guide is a 4K camera that connects to your TV via an HDMI cable, and plays Peloton classes on your TV. The Peloton Guide can then track your workout, showing you your progress throughout the class.
When will the Peloton Guide be available?
The Peloton Guide will be available for sale on April 5th, 2022. It will be available on Peloton’s website, as well as local showrooms. Though, note if you buy in a showroom, they will still ship you the device from a warehouse.
How much does the Peloton Guide cost?
The Peloton Guide will cost $295 USD. It was originally announced to be $495, however, the week before it went on sale it was revealed the price would be dropping. This is rumored to be due to softer demand than expected.
Will my subscription cost go up with the Peloton Guide? Will the Peloton guide require a second subscription?
If you already own a Peloton Bike or Tread, the Peloton Guide will be included in your existing subscription – and there will be no additional cost.
If you are buying a Peloton Guide as your first device, or you are an existing app owner, your monthly cost will go up. The Peloton Guide will have an introductory $24 USD / monthly cost, but then it is expected to cost the full $39 USD / month starting in 2023.
Can the Peloton Guide count my reps?
The Peloton Guide is able to count reps. While working out, the Peloton Guide has something called a “Movement Tracker” which visually fills up as you complete the exercises. It is not yet clear if the user interface will show you a simple rep count though – or only use this visual indicator.
Can the Peloton Guide correct my form?
No, the Peloton Guide does not appear to have any sort of form correction or form feedback. Instead, the Peloton Guide shows a picture in picture view of you, on the screen, next to the instructor. The thought is you can then see yourself on the screen, and make corrections as you see what the instructor is doing.
One would imagine that form feedback & form correction are future features the Peloton Guide could add, but they are not available right now.
Can the Peloton Guide plug into my Peloton Bike or Tread?
The Peloton Guide can not be plugged into a Peloton Bike or Tread. Instead, the Peloton Guide uses a standard HDMI cable to plug into TVs.
Many people have asked why, since the Peloton Bike & Tread already have a camera, and the screen on the Peloton Bike+ can rotate, can’t you use the Peloton Guide technology with a Peloton Bike+. We don’t have a solid answer for this one, other than to say as of now, it isn’t possible.
What classes are available on the Peloton Guide?
The Peloton Guide is only compatible with strength classes to begin. Peloton has said in interviews they hope to bring it to other class types in the future – and we know they have tested it with yoga classes.
We will update this once we find out whether you can take yoga classes and other floor classes on the Guide, even though it can’t count your reps for you on those.
Is the Peloton Guide worth it? Should I buy the Peloton Guide?
This is a tricky question. At $295, it might be something existing Tread & Bike owners add if they are very interested in strength. However, for people currently using the Peloton App, the increased monthly fee it will require seems likely to be a big limiter.
If you are brand new to Peloton, one might want to consider the Tempo Move – which includes some weights, has form correction & feedback, and more.
Interviews have shown that Peloton instructors make anywhere from a six figure salary all the way up to over $500,000 in total compensation.
Peloton is now a publicly traded company, with thousands of employees spread out across the world. Â The company sells their products in the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, and Australia.
Even with all of these employees, the Peloton instructors remain the public face of the company. Â They are who the members virtually interact with on a day to day basis – which means the coaches are who members associate most with the company.
With this pressure and importance to the company – Peloton fitness instructors are well rewarded for their work.
Peloton Instructor Salaries – How much does a Peloton Instructor Gets Paid?
As with any company, the salary range for each Peloton coach varies based on their specific role, experience, and other factors – however, in several interviews a range of salaries has been alluded to for the coaches.
In 2019, Peloton instructor Jess Sims revealed that she earned a “six figure salary with stock options” in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.
An unnamed coach who was hired in 2020 was also revealed to have a “six-figure salary and bonus offer”, in a separate interview with Bloomberg.
In that same Bloomberg report, it was shared that the more senior instructors can make “upwards of $500,000 in total compensation” as of 2021 – which would include both salary, stock options, and bonuses.
How Much Do Peloton Instructors Make?
As covered above, the specific amount of money a Peloton instructor makes is dependent on their specific job and experience.
When the company was starting out, the company likely had to pay more money for the first instructors to lure the talent they needed to create classes that would bring in new members and keep them coming back day to day.
As the company and platform has grown, working at Peloton has become more desirable, and there are people beating down the door to try to work at the company – meaning Peloton doesn’t necessarily have to offer quite as much money as they would have before. However, they still want to attract the best talent, so will still pay their instructors very well, whether they are teaching on the Bike, Tread, Yoga, or any of the other workout types.
Peloton instructors are also able to make advertising deals & partnerships with other companies as well. Â Just visit any instructor’s Instagram page, and you’ll find them sharing paid posts with several brands. Â This is a way for the coaches to supplement their income, as well as promote other companies they support and believe in.
How Much Does Cody Rigsby (Peloton Instructor) Make?
Over the last year, Cody Rigsby was catapulted into the spotlight thanks to his appearance on Dancing With The Stars. As such, that has made people very curious about how much money he is making with Peloton.
In addition to being a senior instructor, Cody Rigsby is also the Director of cycling at Peloton – he was personally responsible for recruiting & helping with hiring many of the newer instructors to work at Peloton in the early days of the company.
With this added responsibility, comes additional income – it’s widely believed he is one of those coaches who makes more than $500,000 in total compensation. Cody was recently able to purchase a nearly $1.5 million penthouse in New York City. However, this was also when Peloton stock was near its peak, and with the amount of time he has been at the company, he is assumed to have quite a bit of of net worth from that Peloton stock price.
Like many of the other coaches, Cody Rigsby has a number of external sponsorships as well that he promotes through TV commercials, traditional advertising campaigns, as well as posts through his own social media channels. It’s not known exactly the value of each of these campaigns – but Cody has worked with some large names like GM, Capitol One, and more.
How much money does Peloton CEO John Foley Make?
Peloton’s public regulatory filings have revealed that Peloton CEO / Peloton founder John Foley earned $17.8 million dollars (in total compensation, including stock awards & equity awards) for Peloton’s 2021 Fiscal Year (from July 1, 2020 – June 30, 2021).
How much money do Peloton employees make?
Peloton’s filings have also shown that the median Peloton employee earned $56,084 during the 2021 Fiscal Year (from July 1, 2020 – June 30, 2021). This includes both hourly as well as full time employees.  However, in part as a result of declining stock value, it has been reported that the salary & bonus structure of showroom employees was modified due to declining demand for Peloton products.
No, Peloton does not have an elliptical machine. At time of publishing, there have been no rumors or announcements made that Peloton will be working on an elliptical either.
To cut to the chase – No, there is not a Peloton elliptical.
Peloton has stated how one of their goals is to “win cardio”. Â To date, they have tried to do this through their existing devices like the Peloton Bike, Peloton Treadmill, and the rumored Peloton Rower. Â Their next focus is on Strength through devices like the Peloton Guide.
Will Peloton Make an Elliptical Machine? Â Does Peloton Have an Elliptical?
There are no known plans, or reliable rumors, that Peloton is working on an elliptical machine. Â At time of publishing, there is no Peloton elliptical machine.
With that said, in 2021 Peloton acquired the Precor brand and their suite of devices. Â There are Precor ellipticals – so in the future, it is possible these could be running Peloton software. Â If Peloton were to make an elliptical, it would probably not require an extra monthly subscription if you own a Bike or Tread – as Peloton allows you to use one device of each category on the same subscription.
Is Peloton working on an Elliptical Machine?
Peloton CEO John Foley has alluded to the fact they always have lots of interesting devices being worked on in their research & development lab – so it’s quite possible there could be one in development. Â However, even if they are working on in an R&D lab, that doesn’t necessarily mean it would be released – a lot of factors go into Peloton picking & choosing what devices to release.
There have been one-off reports of Peloton delivery team members hinting that a Peloton elliptical is in the works – but these have not been the most credible reports, and there has never been any supporting evidence to back this up.
Can you use the Peloton App with an Elliptical?
There is nothing stopping you from running the Peloton app on a mobile app while using an elliptical – so technically, yes, you can use a Peloton app with an elliptical machine. Â This would allow you to watch or listen to any Peloton class on a phone or tablet while working out an an elliptical. Â This might pair especially well with the Peloton Outdoor Run, so that you can listen to your favorite instructor while on an elliptical.
To do this, simply download the Peloton app to your smartphone – it’s available for both iPhone and Android. Â Once you have the app downloaded, you have access to the tens of thousands of Peloton classes – and can play any of them from your phone or tablet. Â You’ll need to place your device on the elliptical so you can see the class – just make sure you can still see the console if you need to adjust the resistance of the elliptical. Â The Peloton app does not provide a way to record speed or power data natively into the Peloton app, but you are able to connect an external heart rate monitor to record data.
Peloton instructors generally structure their bike classes by calling out both cadence (the speed you pedal, or rpm your feet are moving) and resistance (how hard it is to turn the pedals). Â most ellipticals will have a resistance adjustment you can use to map to the resistance a Peloton coach calls out – you’ll have to figure out for your specific device what the appropriate level of resistance mapping is for the resistance called out on Peloton. Â However, there won’t be a cadence you can change on the elliptical machine. Â You can fix this by either adjusting your speed, or if the elliptical you are using has an adjustable incline, you could change the incline as the instructor changes the cadence.
Best Peloton Classes for Elliptical Trainers
If you have decided you want to try using a Peloton workout with an elliptical trainer, Peloton’s on-demand class library has tens of thousands of classes to choose from – and there are dozens more being added every day. Â It’s somewhat of a personal preference, however, here are some classes that might be worth trying out if you are new to the platform. Â Both Peloton bike classes and Peloton Tread classes would work.
Bike Bootcamp & Tread Bootcamp Classes
Both the Peloton Bike & Peloton Tread have bootcamp classes available, where you alternate cardio with strength segments. One thing to keep in mind with these classes is you’ll need some extra strength around the elliptical to do these workouts, as you’ll be jumping between the elliptical and the floor to alternate your strength sections with minimal transition time (although there is enough time for people to change their cycling shoes). Â Some classes will have the strength segment be body weight only, while others might require free weights & dumbbells. This might be more of an issues depending on if you are working out in a home gym vs a public gym.
HIIT Classes or HIIT & Hills Classes
HIIT classes, or high intensity interval training, are a popular type of class on the Peloton Bike. Â Many instructors like to throw these tough workouts in their routine from time to time, and are much more difficult than other workouts like low impact or recovery rides.
Tabata Rides
Tabata classes are a specific type of HIIT workouts – you can read more about the differences between HIIT and Tabata here. Â Like a HIIT class, these are sure to work up a good sweat.
Climb Rides
If you’re looking just for a slow, consistent (sometimes grueling workout), try a Peloton climb ride. Â These will generally have you at a higher resistance but much lower resistance to try to simulate what it’s like climbing up a hill. Â In fact, Peloton instructor Christine D’Ercole has a 5-class series that simulates her ride up the Haleakala volcano in Hawaii – many members train to take all 5 classes back to back for an epic day of training.
Peloton Vs Elliptical. Difference in Workout Between Peloton Bike & Elliptical (Calories Burned, Muscles Worked, Intensity, etc)
While many see session on an elliptical providing a more low impact workout than a Peloton Bike or any other spin bike, that doesn’t necessarily mean anything about the quality of the workout itself.
Does a Peloton Bike or Elliptical Burn More Calories?
As far as how many calories you would burn on an elliptical compared to a Peloton bike – it depends on the class type you are taking, and a number of other factors. Â Different studies have come to different conclusions as to whether you burn more calories on an elliptical vs a spin bike – but both are great workouts which can increase your calorie burn and work up a good sweat.
Does a Peloton Bike work different muscles than an Elliptical?
There are slightly different muscles involved. Â The elliptical is seen as being easier on your knees, hips, and other joints as compared to a Bike, Treadmill, or other stationary bikes. Â In addition, On the Peloton Bike, your arms (and core) are involved simply by ensuring you don’t fall into the handlebars. When using an elliptical, your arms are more involved as they are actively working to move the handles back and forth. Â This is why some people look at a workout on the elliptical as being more of a full body workout, as it tends to be more of a workout for your upper body.
Peloton tries to solve this by their Bike Bootcamp classes – where you spend half the class on the bike, and the other half on the floor doing strength moves. Â Peloton has a similar style of classes for the Tread workouts called Tread Bootcamps – just replacing the time on the bike with time on the Treadmill.
No matter whether you choose to do your workouts on a Peloton Bike, Peloton Treadmill, or Elliptical machine, you should be able to target muscles like your glutes, calves, and hamstrings, depending on which class you pick and how you adjust your cadence and resistance.
At this time, there are not any full Taylor Swift Peloton classes available on the Platform. However, as of November 2021, it appears Peloton has finally acquired rights to play Taylor Swift songs in Peloton classes. The first Peloton class to include a Taylor Swift song (which was “22 (Taylor’s Version)” was a Sundays With Love ride taught by Ally Love on Nov 14, 2021. Now that it appears Peloton has rights to some of the Taylor Swift songs, this means we might see a Taylor Swift Artist Series on Peloton in the future – but there is no guarantee of that.
The short answer is: nobody knows right now.
However, as of February 2022, Peloton has an FAQ on this topic on the Peloton Homecoming website. There, they say that the Peloton Studio in New York Studio is slated to open in Summer 2022. The Peloton London Studio is also scheduled to open at the same time. Of course, this schedule could shift & change.
Peloton closed their studio to the public for classes on March 14th, 2020. It has remained closed ever since then. As various health restrictions have been lifted, many people have been wondering when the studio will reopen so people can sign up and take classes in person with their favorite coaches.
Peloton has stayed quiet on the subject, providing no guidance. They have simply said there is no set in stone date for the Peloton studio to reopen. It’s likely Peloton will proceed very cautiously – although visiting the studio is a great experience for those who can, and also helps provide some extra energy for instructors to feed off – at the end of the day, there are millions of members worldwide who all take the classes remotely.
We will be sure to update this article once more information is available.

Update – On March 4th we revealed Peloton Sessions would be returning soon, thanks to a FAQ page update, and will contain an integration with Scheduling. On March 9th, Peloton began to tease the return too.
In the winter of 2020, Peloton released a new feature known as Peloton Sessions. This was described as a limited time beta when it launched, but not much more was said. The feature allowed people to join classes together and have the leaderboard synced up. After less than a month, the feature was removed.
When it was removed, Peloton stated “we’ll make it even better when it’s officially released.” – confirming that Peloton Sessions would return. However, the exact date has not been confirmed, but it looks like it will be early March.
Now that the Peloton scheduling feature has been released, there is the potential for Peloton to integrate it more closely with Sessions when it returns. For example, it could be updated so that the class you schedule is a private session for you and the friends you invited to it.
Periodically, the video screen on the Peloton Bike & Tread will say a software update has been downloaded and installed. However, there is typically no screen or message saying what has changed with the update. This prompts the question of how do you find release notes for what changed in the most recent Peloton update.
Unfortunately, there are no official release notes provided. When major new features are released, Peloton will display a special popup promoting the feature. For most updates, no prompt will be provided. Many updates are bug fixes and performance increases.
Peloton has slowly been growing more global over the years. They first expanded to Canada, then a few years later, over to the United Kingdom. Peloton then branched out into their first foreign language market – Germany. Once this happened, the floodgates of questions opened about What language will Peloton classes be in next? In particular, a lot of people seem to hope that they will be able to take their next bike ride, or tread run, in Spanish.
In April 2021, Peloton officially announced they would be introducing Spanish language Peloton classes. To start off with, only Peloton yoga classes are available in Spanish, led by new instructor Mariana Fernandez, who will be teaching out of the NYC studio.
It seems likely that the next step will be for Peloton to add Spanish language cycling classes on the Bike, or Spanish language running classes for the Tread – but at this point it isn’t clear how long it will be before Peloton expands their Spanish language classes offerings.
With the new class stacking feature that was just released, members are already wishing for a few extra additions.
Can you share a class stack on Peloton
Unfortunately, there is no social or sharing functionality for class stacks at this time.
Bookmarking a Peloton Class Stack
Since there is no sharing of class stacks, there is also no bookmarking. Once Peloton allows members to share class stacks with friends, perhaps a bookmark feature will be added.
Can you create multiple class stacks for Peloton
Again, the answer here is unfortunately no. You can only have one stack. As you complete a stack, it disappears from the stack automatically.
Is Peloton Class Stacking available for iOS or Android?
You may start a stack that you created somewhere else. At time of publishing, stacks can only be made on the Bike, Tread, or Peloton website (which you can access from the mobile browser of your phone).
Definition of HIIT for Peloton Bike or Run
HIIT stands for high intensity interval training. With HIIT, intervals can be of varying lengths, which are done at either high or max intensity. What makes a workout HIIT is repeating short duration, high intensity blocks of work, with some active recovery / moderate work in between each interval. The high intensity work blocks can be anywhere from 10 seconds to 2-3 minutes. Sometimes the active recovery block will be the same amount of time as the HIIT interval (i.e. 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off), while sometimes they will be varying lengths. HIIT is sometimes referenced as a 1:1 workout ratio, for example when doing 30 on 30 off. Peloton HIIT workouts are usually described as either “bursts of effort followed by active recovery” or “short bursts of anaerobic exercise mixed with recovery periods”
The following is an example of what output might look like for a HIIT workout. You’ll see bursts of effort, followed by periods of rest. Note that the exact format can vary greatly – don’t read too much into the structure of this single example!
Definition of Intervals
Whereas the intervals of HIIT are done at max or high intensity, with generic “Interval” training, the work is usually done at a more moderate intensity. This allows work blocks to be longer length, since the intensity isn’t at such a high level.
Definition of Tabata for Peloton Bike or Run (What does Tabata Mean?)
Tabata is a specific form of HIIT – defined by doing 20 seconds of work (also at high or near max intensity, like HIIT), followed by 10 seconds of rest/recovery. This can also be said as a 2:1 workout ratio of effort to recovery for Tabata. In the textbook definition, this should be done for 4 minutes total. Peloton Tabata workouts usually stick to this textbook definition, but every now and then a class might appear that slightly modifies these time – but keeps the 2:1 workout ratio.
The following is an example of what output might look like for a Tabata workout. This is one where Peloton calls it Tabata, but rather than 20 seconds on then 10 seconds off, the workout is 40 seconds on, 20 seconds off (still that 2:1 ratio).
Wondering where the name Tabata came from? A team of scientists in Japan, lead by Dr. Izumi Tabata, conducted a study looking at two groups of athletes. One group worked out 5 days a week for 6 weeks, with each daily workout being one hour of moderate intensity work. The other group mixed some moderate/low intensity work with an added daily HIIT workout that was 4 minutes and 20 seconds total (consisting of 20 seconds of high intensity work with 10 seconds of rest). At the end of the study, the first group (moderate intensity only) saw gains in aerobic systems, but no anaerobic gains. The second group (short high intensity) had slightly higher aerobic gains than the first group, but also had gains in their anaerobic systems. Based on this study, the 2:1 workout ratio of HIIT (or 20 seconds on 10 seconds off), was named after the lead scientist – Dr. Izumi Tabata.
Difference between Tabata & HIIT & Intervals for Peloton Bike or Run
The difference between Tabata & HIIT for Peloton is that Tabata is a specific type of HIIT with a 2:1 workout ratio (i.e. 20 seconds on then 10 seconds off, or 40 seconds on, 20 seconds off) while HIIT intervals can be of varying lengths of work to rest. The difference between those and intervals is that the intensity level is generally lower for regular interval training, which allows for longer duration of work blocks.
One frequent question is “What are the usernames of the Peloton coaches”. Peloton instructors will occasionally ride along to rides like regular users, and you’re able to see their stats, and give and receive high fives. The following is a list of Peloton instructor’s usernames, that is correct at time of publishing. If one has changed, please let us know! Like any other user, the Peloton coaches are able to change their usernames at any point, or make them private.

The Peloton coaches are becoming celebrities in their own rights, but there is also a separate list of Peloton usernames of celebrities, professional athletes, and musicians you can check out as well if you want.
One common question people have is they start out by trying Peloton through the Peloton Digital app. After the free trial expires, the Peloton Digital subscription is only $13 a month. They then purchase a Peloton Bike or Tread, and find out their cost has jumped from $13/month to $39/month. What is the reason for this big difference in price?
With the app, you get no metrics (besides heart rate), are limited to one user using the subscription, and don’t show up on the leaderboard.
With a full subscription through a Peloton device, you get full metrics (power, cadence, heart rate), are able to compete via the leaderboard, and can have multiple logins through your subscription (so you and multiple people in your household can work out on Peloton digital through the same subscription).
Some people have reported that when they go to ride their Peloton they get an error screen with a message that says “No Command”, and has a picture of a dead Android icon (sometimes also referred to as the Peloton Dead Robot or Peloton Sad Robot). The bike obviously won’t work when this is happening. The first step would be to try turning it off and on again, as well as unplugging it from the wall, waiting 1 minute, and plugging it back in again.
If those steps don’t fix the “No Command” issue, try the following steps:
- Press and hold the power button and “volume up” buttons at the same time.
- Once the screen turns on, let go of both buttons at the same time.
- Use the volume down button to scroll to the menu item that says “Wipe Cache Partition”. Press the power button to select it.
- Once this process completes, use the power button to reset your Peloton.
If the steps above don’t work, or you don’t get to the system screen to select “Wipe Cache Partition”, try again, but only hold the power and volume up button for 3 seconds.
All your data is stored on the cloud, so you won’t lose any rides or history by resetting the cache partition. You will have to re-add your user profiles again, but once those are added, it will import all your history again!
The Peloton app, website, bike and tread allow you to “Count Me In” for upcoming classes. At this time, there is no way to import that list of upcoming classes you are scheduled for into a calendar of any sort (Outlook, Google Calendar, iCal, gCal, etc).
However, if you visit the Peloton schedule from a desktop web browser and click “Count Me In” for a specific class, the popup then gives you an “Add to Calendar” link for that specific class. Your options are iCal, Google, Yahoo, and Outlook. You have to repeat this for each individual class that you want to appear on your calendar.
If you want an upcoming list of all classes for specific instructors, there is no native way to do this that Peloton provides. However, the team at reddit has created individual calendar links for each instructor. These are not updated dynamically or automatically, but rather once a week or so as the moderators have time.
The short answer is after 100 workouts of the same type, Peloton will email you a code for your Peloton Century club shirt. We have a whole guide just for the century shirt though, including topics like shipping, sizing, eligibility, and more. Check out the full guide here!
While not officially announced, it is very likely Peloton will have a Black Friday sale in 2019. Previous years have seen Black Friday specials where you get a free “The Works” accessory packages with the purchase of a bike. You can find details of any specials & sales here once they are announced!
