To date, a ton of massive changes has just struck the peloton ecosystem. The home fitness giant has not simply revised part of the structure on which 6 million people count for quality training sessions – it has made improvements and adjustments through its hardware, software, content and partnerships. Everything is available for members to explore now, both in the mobile application and on the brand’s owner equipment devices, but I don’t blame you if you don’t even know what to start looking for first. Here’s what you need to know.

Peloton devices obtained a youthful cure

Peloton has become the most famous for its classic bike, a stationary bike with a touch screen which, since 2014, has allowed anyone anywhere to take a virtual spin course. Since the introduction of the bicycle, the brand has deployed an improved version, plus two types of treadmills and a rowing machine. The first big announcement of the day has to do with all these products: the five -part range remains the same, but the bicycle, the bicycle +, the rolling band + and the row all have an important meal of.

Known collectively as the Peloton Cross Training Series, the new programming is as follows:

Each of the devices has a swivel screen (which the users of the old bicycle + will familiarize themselves) designed to allow users to switch more transparent between cardio and other peloton class offers, such as strength, yoga and pilates. This is where the whole “training” between the ”

It is necessary to note in particular what comes with the line more, or any device with a “+” after the name. These all have an integrated movement monitoring of the movement that will monitor your form, will count your representatives and help the software suggest weights to use in your strength training. I tested it yesterday at the New York studios peloton and I was impressed. (If you remember, a few months ago, Peloton deleted the guide, a camera connected to user televisions and has made a much more rough version of what these integrated cameras will do. We should have seen this new integration to come then.)

The line Plus is also delivered with audio Sonos, hands -free control so that you can make voice commands to adjust your weight or in break a training, and accessories and features according to user requests. They have an integrated three -speed fan to refresh you, for example, and the bike + finally has a tray that can keep your phone. The bike and the bicycle + have more cushion seats, although you can also buy one of these new seats separately for your old models of bicycle and bicycle +.

IQ peloton

The brand has also announced the launch of its AI component, IQ peloton. Remember how I mentioned that the line Plus allows voice commands? You can say: “OK, Peloton, jump this exercise” or “OK, Peloton, in break this training.” It is quite useful if you are, for example, to do an elevator or yoga exercise and your touch screen is not at hand.

But AI does more than that. Its real objective is to provide a “dynamic coaching”. Basically, your Peloton application has obtained a major overhaul (which you can see by yourself opening it on your phone or peloton device now). At the top, you will see suggested training sessions that are based on your goals, your past training sessions and your schedule. Above all, it also works on older models. I questioned representatives at Peloton Studios on this subject specifically yesterday and everyone was clear that they do not try to force users to abandon the bikes, steps or existing lines.

However, the most advanced features of IQ peloton are only available on the new line Plus, because these devices have the movement tracking the movement which allows the AI ​​to give comments, of correct shape, to count rehearsals and to suggest weights. The Plus line also allows self-rhythmized strength training sessions similar to those you can find on the Strength + Peloton Application. Instead of following with a class and an instructor, you can generate a training plan that just guides you through a series of exercises and you can go to your own speed. You can choose your target muscle groups, deny the exercises you don’t want to do and change the weight you use for a completely personalized experience.

One cool thing that I saw during yesterday’s demo was that if you nail your shape too easily or more rehearsals than what has suggested, AI will automatically tell you when it is time for you to consider using heavier weights. You can accept or deny this suggestion and if you accept, from there, it will be settled, so you always do this exercise with this weight. You can enter all the weights you have by hand at home, so even if you only have a set of five -pound dumbbells, the application will tell you when using them and will not suggest exercises with something heavier or lighter.

Club peloton, best teams, and more

On your peloton application, you will also see now something called Club Peloton, which is a recognition program that rewards you for the consistency and variety of your training sessions. You will be attributed to a level – bronze, silver, gold or legendary – based on things like training streaks or to try new types of exercises. The representatives told me during the demonstration event that the Peloton club finally revealed to start to restore. For example, members of a certain level can be eligible for discounts on certain items or to obtain early access to the courses.

Peloton says that it is part of his “additional investment in human ties”. Obviously, the company is famous for having made it possible to do complete training sessions by yourself at home, but a large part of its success comes from the way it is close to feeling in person by offering virtual group lessons, pleasant instructors and other features such as teams. You can join teams with your friends and compete together or against each other or even join teams based on mutual attributes such as being a new mother or living in a certain region, but with today’s overhaul, you can now also join something called the official peloton teams. These are led by peloton instructors and include options like Move for Life, Cross Training, Health Menopause, etc.

Peloton price

Peloton prices are increasing, which is not exactly a surprise. The letter of the company to investors during the last period of gain alluded to this and it is to be expected with all these new drop -down features. At least now, it is ultimately logical to know why the bikes, the steps and the rows were progressive in the sports articles stores a few months ago, and Peloton launched its own resale platform during the summer for people who wish to sell their old equipment: we obtain a brand new fleet of devices.

Thus, the new prices for membership are:

• Access membership goes from $ 44 to $ 49.99 per month

• Membership at APP + $ 24 to $ 28.99

• Belonging to the One application goes from $ 12.99 to $ 15.99

The devices are at the cost of this:

• The crossing bike is $ 1,695 (plus $ 150 for assembly of experts if you do not want to do it yourself for free)

• The cross training bike + is $ 2,695 (plus $ 150 for the assembly of optional experts)

• The rolling band of cross -drive training is $ 3,295 (plus $ 150 for the assembly of optional experts)

• The rolling band of cross -drive training is $ 6,695 and you will have to pay $ 299 for assembly

• The row of cross -training + is $ 3,495 (plus $ 150 for the option of optional experts

Final notes and first impressions

I saw all this during a press event yesterday and I was really impressed, especially because there was not many of me about Before arriving. The brand has launched the great launch of today by adding 2,000 classes compatible with the new AI and everyone features, even people with the lowest application, can now access most new offers (in addition to movement monitoring features). It is a lot to keep under the wraps.

From what I saw during the demos, these are really solid improvements. Even swivel screens, fans and the telephone tray are beautiful touches, because these are the types of things that peloton users have paid third parties to obtain for years.

This is only the general view of all the changes and it will take me a little time to work on all the new features and options of my application and my bicycle, but I will update my old messages and I will create strong points for the really remarkable changes in the coming days. I already know that I will be delighted by the new integration with Apple Health, for example, even if I have not yet been able to play with it. I have followed all my non -peloton training via the peloton application for weeks, because it is easier than following some with Apple Health and others with peloton. Now, any training that I finish on or out of the application will be reflected in my history of the peloton and will contribute to the suggestions of AI for what I should do one day given.

Over the next month, there will be available promotions so that anyone who wishes to go to new equipment can do so economically. As I know more about it, I will keep you posted. Personally, after all the demos of yesterday, I am already almost sure that it is time for me to remove my classic bike and invest in the new bike +.
