Peloton: A high-energy, competition-driven, and community-based ride
You may recognize Peloton’s name from seeing it all over the news lately (especially during the height of the pandemic). However, it didn’t hit mainstream popularity overnight.
Peloton first came on the scene in 2013 when it sold its first stationary bike. Since then, Peloton has and continues to cultivate a dedicated community of riders.
There are so many reasons Peloton is a great way to burn off those stubborn holiday pounds. For one, you can burn about 500-700 calories on a brisk, 30-minute Peloton ride.
Peloton is popular for a variety of reasons including:
- Peloton trainers are dynamic, extremely fit, and well qualified. Many of the trainers are former world-class cyclists. They exude big and enthusiastic personalities, which they use to motivate their members
- Live cycling class experience. A huge component of the Peloton experience is its live, interactive experience. During the live class, trainers will scroll through the leaderboard (list of everyone in the class) and yell shoutouts to individual riders. Riders can high five each other to stay engaged, and support other riders who reach milestones, such as their 100th ride. If competition is your thing, all you need to do is check out your place on the leaderboard, and get moving to raise your ranks.
- The Peloton library. For those of you who like to move based on your schedule, but still want the variety, Peloton offers a library full of pre-recorded exercise classes including cycling, running, Pilates, yoga and more. There’s an easy-to-use search function so you can choose your next exercise adventure based on genre, instructor, length or all three. For those of you who love scenic tours, there are over 200 timed scenic rides at such faraway places as Iceland or Italy to inspire your future traveling ambitions.
