This is the leaderboard, one of the most confusing features on the Peloton Interface. But what exactly is it for?
If you like some competition, the leaderboard was made for you. It compares your total output with other Peloton users taking the same class. This feature also allows you to keep track of your previous scores as well.

However, there´s nothing like it anywhere else. It is a really original and fulfilling workout that produces results like no other.
When I first got my Peloton, I began by taking some light cycling classes to get comfortable with my bike. As time progressed, I decided to shake things up a little by taking a sample of every sort of class Peloton offers. I must admit that Peloton Bootcamp didn't sound very appealing (it sounded military and strict), but taking the bike bootcamp class really changed my mind, it was a really complete workout.
With this in mind, the purpose of this article is to explain everything you need to know about bike bootcamp classes
To have the best cycling experience everyday, you´ll have to make sure your bike always stays in good condition. To do that, you´ll have to do some Peloton bike maintenance on a regular basis. Maintenance means to take care of the bike parts, clean the bike and repair what needs to be repaired.
I bought a Peloton bike a couple of years ago to start training. After a while, I started to have some small issues with the bike, such as calibration or a loose seat cover. As time progressed, I learned that with a bit of maintenance, such issues were avoidable.
With that in mind, we´ll be focusing on how you can keep your bike in good shape so that you can enjoy riding it for a longer time.
Peloton has many classes of different types (low intensity, HIIT, bootcamp). To help you start off, you can try taking the 10 minute Iceland Ride or the 20 minute Low impact ride with Robin Arzon. Keep in mind that since you´re just starting, your physical capacity may not be the best for all classes. Therefore, starting light is the best way.
As a beginner biker, it's quite difficult to start. I remember my legs would get easily tired and I didn´t have a lot of physical conditioning as a whole. Learning how to get the best out of your bike takes time. You´ll have to find a spot where you feel comfortable and start building from there, step by step.
With all of this in mind, we'll be reviewing some of the best Peloton classes you could take to start off.
When it comes to smart home gyms, two of the biggest names are Peloton and Mirror. However both are fundamentally different. Mirror is for people looking for quick and practical workouts, and something that fits into any space. Peloton is intended for people who want to cycle for hours. This machine is made for exercise machine lovers.
When I was setting up my smart home gym, for my indoor exercise machine, the first name that popped into mind was Peloton. However, I did try to do some due diligence, so I researched a couple of other brands such as Mirror and Tonal.
I took a look at their goals and their machines, which type of content they offered and what I could do with it all. In the end, the program that best matched for me was Peloton, but there were some cool things in the other apps too.

Personally, my Peloton bike has decalibrated a couple of times before, and the riding experience wasn't comfortable at all. Luckily, I learned a few things about Peloton bike calibration.
In this article, I will share everything I learned regarding this topic. So, keep reading to find out more.
If you're in the indoor fitness world, you most likely know both these names. Although they might seem similar, they aren't.

As a Peloton bike rider, pedal stability is one of the most important things. Since Peloton offers stationary bikes, they've come up with the bike clip to ensure this goal is met. When training, the Peloton bike pedals are quite practical to use, particularly during intense sessions. However, removing them is always a nuisance, so knowing a few tricks might save you time. It has certainly spared me some stress.

Although there are some amazing athletes that can reach 300-400 watts per session, an average Peloton output for any random biker typically ranges between a high output of 250W and a lower output of 180W on a normal 30 minute ride.

It could be a great decision in case your bike has a breakdown due to normal wear. However, depending on how often you´ll be using the bike and what you´re doing with it, it could also be a waste of money. It costs $145 for 12 months and $185 for 27 months of additional coverage.
When buying a new expensive product, such as a peloton bike, there's always an existing risk that it could break or malfunction after some time.

One of the hardest tests you can do on your peloton bike is the 20 minute ftp test. Standing for Functional Threshold Power, an FTP test is a great way to test your fitness and overall endurance. The test seeks to measure your average output of power for one hour of cycling, measured in watts.

Peloton Bikes are designed to be ridden in a near silent experience, so a clicking noise is definitely a problem. Normally, a clicking noise on a bike signals that something isn't completely tight. So before you can start fixing it, you´ll have to determine which part is loose.
On most occasions, the sources of that annoying clicking sound on your peloton bike are the pedals, seat, chain or cleats. If these are the culprits, try to tighten loose parts until they're no longer moving. However, the possibility that it is something else is still very real. In an effort to not break or damage your bike, you should contact peloton customer support for some help.
Riding a bike with a clicking noise can be annoying. As someone who rides almost every other day, silence is key to concentration. However, rather than going to the local hardware store and tightening the parts myself, the best path is to call peloton support.
