Listen here:

[00:00:00] Hey, a quick note on this week’s episode. Yeah, we screwed the audio up so I apologize that it sounds really bad. Yeah, I think hers sounds okay. Mine sounds like dog shit, but she’s more important. So that’s all that matters. It’s even funnier ’cause in the opening we brag about our fancy headsets. Yeah.

That weren’t that weren’t hooked up properly. Yeah. Which we’ve used the user error. Yeah. We just wanted to warn you that the audio on this is [00:01:00] gonna be a little rough and we didn’t want to have to rerecord it ’cause we’re on vacation and I got a little crabby. Yeah. And by a little she means a lot.

 Anyway here’s this week’s episode. Don’t worry. Next week’s we’ll sound like you’re used to it hearing and we appreciate your patience and thank you for listening. Thank you.

Welcome to the Clip Out podcast, episode four 15. This is Crystal O’Keefe, and this is Tom O’Keefe. We are in Disney. We are. So our audio sounds different. Yes. Some people are really attuned to that. Not everybody. Yeah, no, that’s true. Absolutely. We’re not using our fancy big microphones at home.

We’re using our fancy headset microphones. We’re on the go. We look like we’re about to do Playby play for. The NFL or something. Yeah. Although I don’t think this will be as exciting as the NFL. I don’t know. I think the NFL is pretty boring. Okay, that’s fair. So I’m not the best person to ask. So we should also say if you were if you were watching on the YouTube this [00:02:00] week, you were not watching on the YouTube.

You’re only listening on the YouTube. Yeah. ’cause we’re both in swimsuits and nobody wants to see me in my bikini. No, it’s just too much of a hassle to figure out the video and all that. Well, it, it’s, there’s, it’s gonna be practically impossible to get the video to upload in any way, shape, or form.

So it’s, we’re just gonna do it without the video this week. Yeah. Just have to muscle through. Yeah. What pretail do you have in store for people this week we are gonna talk about Pelotons new secondary store that they are launching Power Up or Powered Up. And then we are gonna talk power.

Huh? Repowered. Repowered. Was that what it was like? Okay. I don’t know. I, I Or vacation people. Yeah. We’ll get there when we get there. We’ll talk about it. Didn’t want it all. We’re gonna talk about people losing their goddamn minds about programs that they don’t even use on a few. Devices. And then we’ll talk about people actually having real legitimate complaints as well.

 [00:03:00] We are gonna talk about the customer service that Peloton is providing and how people are feeling about that. Also, we’ve got some leaderboard ranking updates and we have. In the news for instructors, we have Tune day update, Cali Gullickson update, Robin Arza update, and well tune. Tune Day is part of that one as well.

 This week announced that it is launching its own secondary store called Peloton Repowered. [00:05:00]That’s what it’s called. Yes. Yeah, it’s, it’s interesting. They, they are going to have a place where the whole point of it is to buy and sell Peloton equipment.

 I am personally excited about this because first of all, for those of you wondering, it is a beta launch. It is only starting in the following cities, New York. Boston and DC That’s it for, for now. Full buyer access and a national rollout will be coming later this summer. But I’m excited about this for a couple of reasons.

One if you are a seller, you can earn up to $600 off a new hardware purchase by listing your Peloton equipment. So if you’re looking to do a type of. Trade in, right? This is a great way to do it. A lot of people don’t wanna mess with selling and dealing with things like Craigslist and Facebook marketplace.

Yeah, there’s a lot of weirdos out there and I don’t really want ’em all knowing my address. Enough weirdos know our address. Thank you very much. Now I will say one of the problems with that though is if. You [00:06:00] were going to sell your Peloton because you are done with Peloton. That’s a different story altogether.

It did $600 off a new piece of Peloton equipment doesn’t mean Jack to you. That is so true. That’s a great point. So it’s, it’s not necessarily gonna be working for everyone, you know but nothing does. So I guess that’s okay too. No, and yeah, I I’m surprised it’s not like a used record store where it’s like.

Well, we’ll give you a 600 in trade or 300 in cash, or you at least get something. But I guess they figured most people wouldn’t take advantage of that. I would agree. I, I do. I do think that that’s part of it, but I also think that it’s in beta. This may not be the final rollout is how it looks. Just ’cause it looks this way today.

Yeah, because the thing is, is that if this does work well and they start moving a lot, well then they might find themselves in a position where they need inventory. Yeah, that’s very true. And most people getting rid of their pelotons probably. Aren’t buying a new one. Well, I, I do say, I’m a little confused about [00:07:00] this.

Buyers will enjoy a $50 discount on the activation fee. Well now wait a second, because if you’re a seller and you’re selling $600 off and then they’re giving it to you towards new equipment, that indicates that you are staying in the Peloton family. So shouldn’t you not have an activation fee at all?

Well, ’cause you’re go, you’re still in the Peloton family, so that should only apply to people who are outside the Peloton family. Yeah. I don’t know how that would work, especially ’cause I, I, I wonder if they’re thinking you’re selling a UA used piece of equipment and then turning around and buying a new piece of equipment.

But if you’re staying, if, if the sellers get $600 off Right. To put towards new equipment, new equipment, but. But I’m just saying you’re already in the Peloton world. What I am saying is, is that it depends on how you define the word new. Yeah. In that sentence. Yeah. If you define it as brand new unopened box o Peloton equipment, then you wouldn’t have a connection fee.

If you’re [00:08:00] defining it as new as in it’s new to you, you’re purchasing something you didn’t have before. Like, but like I don’t, I don’t know if they’ve thought through, if someone’s a existing Peloton member. They sell, they sell a bike and they’re gonna buy a used bike plus from them. Are you gonna hit them for 50 bucks when they’ve been a Peloton member for five years?

Well, that’s, that’s my whole point. Yeah. And, and I, I, they are saying that you only get the $600 off if it’s new hardware, so that checks that box. You’re only getting the $600 off. Okay. If it’s brand new out of box. Yeah. But I still think that if you are an existing. All access Peloton user, I don’t think you should have any activation fee whatsoever because you’re already ex, you already are in the Peloton EXO system.

So my thought process there is that the $600 makes it a non-issue because you’re probably going to be able to get the piece of equipment you’re looking at new for a price that’s [00:09:00] either the same or so close to a, a. A used one, a used refurbished one, that you would just buy the new one. That could be, and maybe that’s their whole goal.

Yeah. Just to, you know, I don’t know. But I, I, what I also, a positive thing about it is that you’re gonna be able to see what the pricing is upfront. And you’re gonna have like an even keel marketplace. It’s not gonna be necessarily like one’s over here and one’s over here at this price, right. And one’s over here at this price.

And you have no idea. Any kind of like how that’s, how well it’s been used or not, like you don’t know what that equipment is. I would hope going through this, you’re gonna be able to get to those reports that they have now that you’re, you’re able to see like, oh, this is how many times the equipment’s been used.

That should all be part of it as well. I’m really, I’m really curious to see how this process. Goes, is it smooth? Yeah. Are there hiccups? Are there things that they have to iron out? I will be curious to see all of that. Doesn’t it [00:10:00] also come with a warranty though? It does. So that’s something you won’t get if you buy just from somebody down the street?

Yeah. There’s some, there’s some like third party reseller out there that claims you get a warranty, but that has sounds scammy and janky since day one. Yeah, because how do you offer a warranty when you don’t own the product? Well, I think it’s like those. You know, what is it Assure warranties that you can buy?

It’s, this is a third party person that just made all this up. Yeah. There’s no way that’s, that’s, there’s no way. Like, who are they getting it through? Right. I mean, yeah, you can get a home buyer warranty too, but those a lot of times don’t cover anything worth value. Yeah. Whereas is this will be through Peloton and you will be getting their approval and their, you know, they’ll, they’ll have their name behind it now.

The downside of it, it’s gonna have their name behind it. They already have enough customer service issues, as we will talk about in a little bit. Is that a good thing? Do you wanna be associated with people? Not everybody takes good care of their equipment. Not everybody is, is gonna be on the up and [00:11:00] up.

There are people that flat out lie, like how does that work? What happens then have sold. Rental equipment. Yeah. Yeah. So it’s like this will take care of the rental equipment. Right. You, you, the Peloton will know before it goes out there. They can’t do that. Well, and presumably if somebody took poor care of their Peloton when they turned it in, Peloton would’ve either have one not accepted it, or two would have refurbished it and fixed it to the point that it would be almost like new.

And that’s probably why they’re, they’re giving a discount off of new hardware as well. Yeah. It, it, it. Limits Pelotons risk in that case if that is what they are doing. So hopefully it is. That would make a lot of sense. Yeah, for sure.

Peloton programs are going away on some devices. We will give you a moment to panic. Yeah. And then we will talk you off the ledge. First of all, I just wanna say programs, not individual classes. Yeah. Some people were hearing this to mean like Peloton programming. [00:12:00] Yeah. And like, you know, like in the same way that a TV network might refer to their shows as programs.

Right? Right. That people are like. But like if Peloton programs, if that’s what it meant, the headline wouldn’t be Peloton programs going away. On some devices it would be Peloton going away on some, right? Yeah, absolutely. If you can’t access any programming, well then that’s just gone. That’s not, yeah.

Anyway, so Peloton is saying that they are going to change things. Programs will no longer be directly available on web browsers or smart TVs. On starting on June 12th. So questions that have come up for this, does that apply to using the app on a smart tv? For example, apple tv, PE, and Peloton didn’t say.

Right. So that’s a good question. If you have Roku, it’s not necessarily a smart tv, you’re using the app through Roku. Then is that changing right? [00:13:00] We don’t know the exact answers to these questions. I am hearing it as you’re not gonna be able to access Peloton programs specifically on any of those devices, but only programs, like you said, Tom, it’s gonna be the classes you’re still gonna be able to get through.

You can still go find individual classes, you just can’t do well, I guess I shouldn’t say strength for tennis because that’s. Strength Plus. Right. So I don’t even know if that’s Strength Plus, but it is a, it could be a collection and not a program. Yeah. And people are assuming it affects collections too, but Peloton is saying programs, that’s the only word that they have used.

Right. So I would look at it like two days arm program. Okay. That would be something that you will no longer be able to get and you won’t be able to get it on the web either. You know, when I first started using Peloton. And I had an Android device. I use the web all the time, the web browser to look up stuff, and I don’t do it anymore because the web is usually not that effective.

 It’s not, it’s, it’s not always as [00:14:00] helpful as it used to be. There was a long time there where it didn’t work at all, so I just got trained to use my app for everything and not use the web. Right. But, for people that do, you know, a lot of people will pull up their computer like we have it right here, and they’ll, they’ll take a class or they’ll do their arms program right from their computer, right?

You can still get to the app on your devices that have apps. So for example, an iPhone. An iPad, your Android phone, all of those, you can still get to the Peloton app. If you can get to the Peloton app, then you can still, you’re still able to access the program itself, and then you could cast that to a tv.

So you still have the ability to do that, but then people’s counterclaim to that is, well. If I cast it to the tv, it doesn’t look as good. So like it doesn’t have all the options. I can’t see everything that I could see before. So casting is not a hundred percent effective. But one of the things that Peloton said here is they’re going to be introducing new features soon that make [00:15:00] programs more flexible for your needs and schedule.

Now, we’ve already heard before that they are no longer gonna be locking down the program. So I assume that’s part of that. So the, the programs used to work or currently work in a way that like. You. If you start at point A, you have to move forward, then you cannot. You do. And you have to do it in a certain timeframe.

In a certain order. Okay. And you can only skip one class. Gotcha. Yeah. So everything’s locked. Yeah. And you can’t access those classes like tunde with arms, right? I can’t go in and pick out day one, class one, just out of the Peloton, ether ecosystem. I have to go through. And subscribe to the program.

Take the class. Now it’s in my history. Now I can get to it. Or I can get somebody with the link and they can give me the link and I can get to it, but I can’t just pull that up. It only exists in the program infrastructure. Okay. So what this, what I think that they’re gonna [00:16:00] do is open those programs up. I think that they’re no longer gonna be like that.

So now you’re gonna be able to get to those classes. So if you want to take them in order, you can. Yes. And all of a sudden, life throws you a curve ball and, and you have to take it the next one within a a 72 hour window, and you take it at. Hour 75, you can still do that. Like it, so it’s like, yeah. I also kind of wonder if long term this is a non-issue.

I think it will be because they’re kind of gonna restructure how programs function that That’s exactly right. They say in this notification, we, we are introducing new features soon that make programs more flexible for your needs and schedule. But what’s happening is people read. This message and what they are hearing is, you’re taking away my ability to take all classes on my smart tv.

Full stop. Yeah. That’s what they’re hearing and they are losing their goddamn minds, and it is crazy. The messages that I have gotten, the angry. [00:17:00] Screeds that people have been putting out there, whether it’s directed at me or Peloton, it doesn’t matter. Like people are losing Yeah. Their minds and some of it is Pelotons fault because they don’t say what these changes are that they’re making.

So yes, that is, that’s on Peloton. They don’t have answers ready that you can go to with an FAQ that explains, here’s all the issues, here’s how we’re gonna, you know, change them. Here’s how you’re gonna be able to mitigate it. All they offer is you can still, you can still take your device and cast it to your television.

That’s their only thing here. But, on the other hand, they use the word programs, and I swear to God, 95% of the people are either skipping that word completely, or as you said, misinterpret. They’re hearing it as program mean, not programs. And I don’t think that’s entirely on Peloton. I think that that’s careful reading.

I will also say the whole world is like a tender box right now, and everyone’s looking for a reason to fight and everyone’s looking like it takes the [00:18:00] smallest spark to like get anybody set off these days. Yeah, and and, and I feel like. This is one of those things, but people are saying stuff like the, this is the last straw.

Pelotons going to hell. The, they’re going backwards. They’re, this is all the programming’s going into the shitter. Like, I mean, it’s, it’s people are losing their minds. Yeah. And I don’t think this is going to end up being nearly as big of a deal as people think it is. I don’t think. I don’t, I don’t think the Peloton would’ve made these changes if their data showed 95% of the people were using programs on their smart TVs.

And I think in reality it’s a very small subset and it’s a vocal subset. Right. And, and it’s, it’s a need that they want filled. But I also think they’re gonna be opening up those programs, like you said. Yeah. And it’s not gonna end up being nearly as big of a deal as they, they they think it is. Peloton should have said that though, if that’s the case, like, don’t leave people hanging.

Yeah. Why? Why would you not say that upfront? I think that the message wasn’t crafted better because [00:19:00] they, the internal perception is that so few people utilize, well, they have the data, they see it, right? And so they’re just like, this is going to affect such a small group of people that like, it, it like, it’ll be fine.

And, and then. Like there are a lot of people chiming in that are probably going to completely be unaffected and don’t realize it. Yes, I totally agree with you. And why did you not get an email? You didn’t get an email because you weren’t on the list. You had to have been using these devices and in, and, and within a significantly short time period.

Right? Like they saw you using it in the last 60 days. That’s who got the email. Right. Full stop. They’re not gonna send it to every single person because not every single person was affected by Right. And look at the drama it’s causing. Yeah. When it gets out there and yes. We posted, we posted about it because it was already out there.

We didn’t start the outrage Right. Well, if you, if, if you didn’t get the email, then chances are this will have zero impact on your usage of Peloton. Yeah. But I, I do hope [00:20:00] that they. Are more mindful of their timing and putting out, like, if you’re not opening up programs now, tell people when you are and also tell them you’re opening it up.

Don’t say you’re, you’re adding new features. Tell them what the features are. Or don’t say anything about it at all. All together. Yeah. Yeah. Like that. That’s not helping the situation. No. But anyway, just another day in Peloton world. So we had an interesting post that someone shared with us.

So there was a post over on the OPP that we wanted to talk about, just ’cause we found it amusing about Peloton and their customer service. Yeah, it’s hilarious. We’re not naming any names but it says what’s going on with customer service. I called and explained that my feet saw, falls off, my seat, falls off while riding, and the agent suggested I order new handlebars.

What, what, what? [00:21:00] And then the agent supposedly got frustrated and said, will you tell me what you wanna order?

Well, I think they would just like their seat to work. Great example of how outsourcing to a third party when a person doesn’t understand the Peloton ecosystem and what the equipment is and how it fits together like. What are you talking about? Oh, that’s a little more than not under, like, that’s not nuanced stuff to understand that your handlebar and your seat are Are not connected.

Are not connected. No, I didn’t mean that. It’s, it’s nuanced. I meant that a person who was employed by Peloton. Would know what the equipment was and be trained properly. That’s what I meant. I, I get that. But like if they were calling up asking about the programs thing and this person isn’t getting it, I would be like, you need people that understand Peloton.

But I don’t think you need to understand Peloton to understand that your seat falling is not connected to your handlebars. [00:22:00] I, I agree. But again, if you’re gonna have outsource, you’re gonna have people who are not, they don’t care because they are not incentivized. Yeah. To be part of Peloton or give a shit about what Peloton is or how it works.

We were talking a few weeks ago about how you can now some people anyway, could. Rank their leaderboard by distance. Instead of by how it currently works. And that is now official. Yeah. This week a bunch of people got notifications on their app and on their com, on their computers, or excuse me, their actual devices, like their bikes, et cetera.

That said, see your distance ranking. Now you can track your progress in classes by sorting the leaderboard by distance, compete with other members, or challenge yourself by comparing your current performance to past results. And, then they had a link to what else is new. I, I feel like they, they really just wanted to highlight that they had made a bunch of changes in the month of May, and this was it.

But a lot of people, there are people that are saying they still don’t see this on their leaderboard, and I don’t understand what that’s about at all. Yeah. Yeah. That’s really weird to make an announcement, like [00:23:00] it’s all here, but it’s not all, I think that, you know, going back to the changes and these kind of.

Quiet layoffs that Peloton has done. I think there are a lot less people, and I think that changes like this, they, they don’t think about the large implications of what it’s saying to people and how it sounds to people. Yeah. When they do that. Coming up after this, we’re gonna have instructors in the news, we’re gonna talk about Tunde and her swimsuit runway debut, and also an instructor has a new book available for pre-order.

We’ll let you know who.

Tunde made her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway debut. She did, and this was a huge deal as someone who does not want to get canceled. This is the last thing I’ll have to say in this segment. She was. She was definitely working the runway during the Sports Illustrated swim search finalist that they had.

She, [00:24:00] there were multiple articles about this sports Illustrated said Superstar in Cherry Print, bikini on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway. And that was that was definitely tunde. And then they had, they talked about her. Podcasts that she did. They talked about how she like what she’s done at Peloton.

They gave a whole bunch of details about her in the article. There was also a subsequent article about this that was I think in, it was also in Sports Illustrated, but I. It was like their lifestyle section. Okay. And where they did like an interview with Tunde and she talked about how impactful doing the runway was for her and that she had gained new lifelong friends as she had participated in swim week.

She said that she was still walking on Sunshine after her runway show. And she was joined by brand models like Olivia Dunn, Jordan Chiles, Lauren Chan and more. And she also shared about it, of course, on Instagram. [00:25:00] She has really been kind of gushing about how enjoyment this was, how enjoyable this whole process has been.

It is not too late. To vote for her. The voting is open for an entire month. Oh wow. And it will be, she is in the top six for 2026. Okay. So that, and that’s how this works every year. Okay. Apparently. If you didn’t get a chance to vote for her yet, don’t worry. You did not miss your chance. You have the entire month of June to vote for her.

That sounds awful. Why can you imagine like, I guess it’s different if you’re Tunde or Jordan Giles, and it’s probably true of anybody who is competing at this level, but I’m like to win a contest or we’re like, yes, we will feature you in a swimsuit in our magazine. One year from now. So hold, hold that, hold everything where you’re at right now.

Don’t change no carbs for the next year, but just because she’s gonna be the model next year doesn’t mean they won’t, [00:26:00] they won’t shoot that for a year. That’s fair. I just, I was just here it is like, and 2026 is, is only six months away. Yeah. So I get, I’m betting they’ll probably be shooting that in the fall.

Stay in peak physical condition for the next 12 months? Well, I will say Tunde has been very successful at being in peak condition. Yeah, for quite a while. But congrats to her for having the opportunity and good luck to Tune Day. I hope that she wins. That would be super, super cool. But being part of the experience in general is amazing.

Yeah.

While we’re speaking of Tunde, her and Robin Arza are gonna team up. At High Rocks. So it was this past week. Okay. They already did it. They teamed up at High Rocks. But yeah, they actually were a team and I don’t know enough about High Rocks to know, like if that’s like, if there’s a team section all the time or you know, like when I did the, that Iron Man.

Team thing, not every Iron Man has the ability for you to have like a relay, right? So I [00:27:00] don’t know if this is available at every High Rocks, but in the High Rocks, New York, they teamed up to do this together. But at the clip out, we thought it was fascinating. How many instructors were part of this?

High Rocks Logan was there. Rad. Of course, Tunde and Robin. Jocelyn came over from the Uck and I feel like there was a, I feel like Marcel was there from the Uck as well. Marcel Dinkins I know was there, so I might, I might be conflating those two, but I know Marcel Dinkins was there and she was competing as well.

Andy was there, that was his first high rocks and and it was really interesting to see and I wanna learn more about this high rock, so I’m just gonna go ahead and tease it right now. We’re gonna have past guest Chrissy Blackwood on for an interview in a few weeks, and we are going to ask her all of the things because she still does Peloton, but she has also gone into the High Rocks world.

She’s been competing, she was at the New York competition. And I wanna learn more about this. I wanna see like, is it just like CrossFit? ’cause it looks [00:28:00] like it is, right? I have so many questions. We’re gonna get to it. What? What makes this different? Yeah. Yeah. And. Does she find it interesting that all of these Peloton instructors earn it when they have Peloton programming that they’re doing?

Like I don’t, I don’t know. It’s like, is this just a new way to push yourself? We’ll get to all that, but I find it super, super fascinating and it feels like there’s, there’s so many people involved that it makes me wonder, out of curiosity, if there’s some kind of up. Coming partnership or there’s something in the works like, no, that’s a fair question because it started off with like one, right?

And then it was two and now there’s 10 right At one. High Rocks. Like I, I don’t know. I’ve just got so many questions about it.

Callie Gull’s book is now available for pre-order. Yeah. And so if you’ve missed the news, it’s her mocktail book specifically, and you can absolutely pre-order this and get it for your own if mocktails are a big thing for you. I have to say the biggest news about this was like [00:29:00] her reel that she posted.

There were very, very polarizing opinions about this, like about. Half the people loved it and half the people thought it was the most cringe thing she’s ever done. What, what did she do in the reel? Well, she’s like dressed up in a robe and she’s like, she’s doing her cocktails at the pool. And she’s like, announcing, she’s like, look, who’s got a book coming out for pre-order?

It’s, it’s like clearly done as tongue in cheek, right, but it’s also. Kind of not right. A little bit. Yeah. Like maybe that is kind of who she is, but she’s also laughing at it, right. But I think some people, it feels a little cringe and some people, like I said, they, they thought it was hilarious. It’s just, that seems to be the biggest news about it.

So I thought that was kind of fascinating. Well, I guess in today’s world, if you’re getting the engagement, that’s all that matters. Well, she’s definitely getting engagement, so congrats to Callie for that.

The latest artist series features none other than Cindy Lauper. Yeah, this is great. I love Cyndi Lauper. And I love that [00:30:00] it is, it’s kicking off Pride month as it should. Yeah, she belongs there.

She’s been a very long and vocal supporter of L-G-B-T-Q. And way before it was a safe career choice. Yeah. Yeah. Like back in the eighties. Yeah. And in the nineties she was doing that. I did not realize that she had a whole foundation you were telling me about called true colors. Yeah. She opened up a like a, a shelter for runaway teens.

 But I think also specifically targeting L-G-B-T-Q teens, ’cause they make up like 40% of all runaways. Something like that. Yeah. I think that’s really cool and I love that there are so many classes. There are 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 different classes that are going to be available and that’s gonna include a wide variety.

So there’s an outdoor run, there’s arms and lightweights, there’s gonna be a yoga flow, there’s gonna be a ride, a walk, plus run. A row and another ride. But that one is in Germany, so [00:31:00] in German rather. So Cyndi Lauper is I, she has special place in my heart. I love her girls just wanna have fun. I loved the movie whenever it came out.

Do you remember that movie? Girls Just Wanna Have Fun in the eighties. Justine Bateman. Yeah, that was one of the first movies we ever rented on VHS when my dad was out of town. My mom let me and my sister get it. After much debate with the movie person who was at the front counter because it was PG 13 and we had a whole discussion of what exactly that entailed.

Yeah, that was like the first movie I ever got to rent. It’s very exciting. Very exciting. The first movie I ever rented, my parents owned a printing company and they were in a strip mall and A-A-V-H-S store opened up. In the strip mall. So this was before the age of Blockbuster, right? Yeah. Oh, same here.

Yeah, this was like home. This was like home video? Yeah, like it was like total little tiny store and like, so I went up, my parents did their printing, so [00:32:00] they, they gave me my own account, my. My my member ID number was three. That’s, that’s how you, my friend, were an og. Yeah. And and the first movie I rented was MASH of, of course you did.

Because I was really into the TV show mash, and I had never seen the movie. And so I’m like, well, I’m gonna write Mash. And then at some point I figured out because it, like they had put policies into place. For anything at that point. Like they never gave any thought to me renting rated R movies. And but then I would always try to rent rated R movies that were like, I didn’t want to rent anything too racy that would draw their attention like.

Like porkies. So I would rent things like Mash or Beverly Hills. Cobb. Things that like just normal kid renting a movie. Didn’t even know it’s our, who knew? Yeah. I had a lot more supervision for, for good or Ill, I don’t know. But yeah, [00:33:00] we had very different movie renting experiences. Yes, we did. Okay.

Equinox is getting fined $600,000 by the state of New York. I found this so funny. Not specific to Equinox. There are a lot of gyms that do this, but yeah, I’m just glad that maybe they’re starting to crack down on this kind of, that’s what, that’s what amused me.

How many TV shows have made fun of this and like. Was it, was it friends or how I met your mother that was like, I think it was friends where it was, I wanna quit the gym. Chandler was trying to quit the gym. Yes, it was, it was Chandler and he just wanted to quit the gym. But the, they are being fined that $600,000 and it is because of how difficult they made it to cancel their, their subscriptions.

It says here that they failed to disclose. Subscription terms did not provide legally required subscription acknowledgements and lacked accessible online cancellation options according to the Attorney General’s office. Well, yeah, I know the FTC is [00:34:00] supposedly trying to do a click to cancel rule, which means it has to be as easy to cancel as is to sign up.

But I wouldn’t hold my breath for that. Well, I I kind of forget that Equinox includes SoulCycle and other groups like that. Like Equinox is such a huge brand that it has like an umbrella. And I forget that SoulCycle is underneath that brand for sure. Okay,

while we’re speaking of competitors, iFit is forming a science council. So I thought this was interesting because they are, they’re doing, they’re adding a council and there have been lots of companies, data council including Peloton. Yeah. Including tonal. Right. They’ve had them, but as one of our helper bees, Nikki said they’re actually using the council to come up with programming.

Like specifically Yeah. On purpose data driven Tonal does that too. Peloton, I, I feel like. They, maybe they do, but we don’t really see the results of it, or they don’t [00:35:00] talk about right cause and effect. But they are InCorp. They’re going to incorporate heart rate variability, recovery metrics, and other biometric signals into its platforms to customize workouts.

And wellness plans. So they’re gonna take all this data that they’re getting and they’re gonna tell you like, okay, based on how you feel today, your information that we have, these are the workouts that you should be doing. That’s pretty, yeah, pretty forward thinking for sure. My, my hat’s off to iFit.

That’s pretty darn cool. Yeah, it is. And I hope that Peloton takes note. Coming up after this, we’re gonna talk about content, all the classes that we are paying attention to, and therefore you should be paying attention to. So stick around.

It is time for the TCO top five. You tell us your favorite Peloton classes, and then we use our science council. To rank them according to effect necessity. Okay. Yes. Got it. So we will start with number one, science [00:36:00] approved. Your favorite outdoor walk? Yeah. So we’re going back in time to to January of 2023.

It was a 45 minute classical outdoor walk that Becks Gentry taught, and Karen Smith loved it. She said that Becks takes you on a globetrot with the music, explaining details about the songs that show her nostalgia and love of classical music. And whether you’re a fan of classical music or not, this is a must take.

Okay, number two, your favorite 45 minute ride. So Robin Arza taught this and it was a 45 minute, two thousands ride that was aired on May 30th. Katherine Es recommended this and she said, I don’t take Robin’s classes very often, but I enjoyed this one. It really made me breathless. I’ll have to start riding with her more often.

Okay. Watch out for yellow. Yeah, she was in gray. She was in green on this one. I was letting Catherine know that. Yeah. Yeah. Careful Kathy. She hasn’t done a lot. How real? Number three. Your favorite 30 minute [00:37:00] ride. Benny. Adam is. Back people are loving his 30 minute, eighties ride that he taught on May 25th.

Melissa Giles Acker nominated this class. Benny is so fun in a hidden gem. I wish more members would see how great he is and she takes his German classes, classes often, but having a ride in English was a nice surprise. She also mentions that Benny pops in on other rides on demand and on Cody’s live rides, and he always gives high fives.

How about that? Yeah. Number four, your favorite music themed ride. Okay, so this was taught by Dennis Morton. It was a 45 minute classic rock ride on 5 27, and Christie Smalley loved it. She said, this is the best playlist. Who else is gonna play jetro Toll Springsteen, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Boston, the Beatles, and a CDC all in the same ride.

You might even like that one, Tom. Yeah, I think I’m good. Okay. Also, I hate Jet Ratal. Do you really? I do. I don’t even know a song by Jet Ratal, [00:38:00] so I don’t even know. Yeah. I just have no patience for Jet Ratal. Okay. Number five. You are unst stackable the class so tough. It dare not be stacked. It’s a row bootcamp.

Well, this class was taught by Katie Wong, and it was a 45 minute bootcamp from April 15th. Melissa Solan recommended it, and it sounds unst stackable to us. She said it’s a challenging mix of intervals and strength with human makers to finish it up. I, I gotta tell you, I don’t know what a human maker is.

Well. After a couple p and cla by the pool, I

The human maker complex is comprised of squat, thrust, pushups, renegade rows, cleans, and thrusters.

That’s all one exercise. Well, mine would’ve had thrusters. Okay. That’s true. That’s true. That is true. Woo. Well that’s, that’s quite a, quite a way to end a workout. Yeah. No wonder it [00:39:00] was unst stackable.

Mine wouldn’t have been unstack.

We will now take a look at this week at Peloton. All sorts of stuff going on. We’ll start with Vibe and Flow Yoga. Yeah. This is a brand new series that Chelsea. Oh, home is not a program? No, it’s a series. Okay. Shoot. It’s a, it’s a series called Vibe and Flow and the first installment is gonna be a two for one Reggaton with Chelsea.

And Camila and it’s gonna take place on Sunday, June 8th, 9:30 AM Eastern. And not only are you gonna be flowing, you’re gonna be vibing. ’cause you’re gonna add in the reggaton. Okay. We also have a medal with Charlotte. Yeah. Which Charlotte is an amazing instructor and I love the way she adds in these metal classes.

We’ve got a 30 minute metal ride Saturday, June 7th. Everyone loves them, so make sure that you don’t miss that. And if you’re pressed for time, we got, they got some some shorter classes for you, Pilates Express, 15 minute [00:40:00] Pilates, and it is just to get in and get it done. Those dropped on like a human maker.

Yes. Just like that. And that was, that dropped on June 2nd at 9:30 AM. And rising pop. Yeah, so we’ve had all these rising classes and so this is just gonna be new pop music and Robin is gonna be teaching it. It’s a 30 minute class, and it drops on Saturday, June 7th at 12:30 PM Eastern. It is the month of June, which means it’s pride month, whether you like it or not.

And Peloton. Has some pride classes for you? Well, I like it and I’m excited about it. There’s a bunch of classes and this is just to start off the, the month there will be more added. There’s gonna be coming out strong yoga flow with a didi, I mean, a 20 minute pride pop row with Ash. There’s gonna be a 30 minute pop walk with Maddie and Mara will be there.

So that’s gonna be. June 7th. So you definitely don’t wanna miss that. She’s also gonna be a 45 minute on the dance floor walk [00:41:00] plus run with Jess King. And yeah, anybody who doesn’t like it don’t take the classes. You don’t need to hate and, and whoever is putting nasty comments on Maddie’s stuff, like they just, they have, I have a lot of negative things to say to them.

Like, I just don’t even understand. Why do you care? Why do you care? Just let people be happy. Yeah. Jess Sims is debuting strength for basketball, and since I don’t like basketball, I’m going to go say all sorts of mean things to her on Instagram about it. Okay. So what do you do now? Okay, we’ll take a break while you do that.

Okay. So this, this strength is gonna be helpful for getting ready for basketball games. So she’s got a few different kinds of classes, four of them. Altogether 10 minute warmup to be used before practice, before a game, or before one of the workouts, you got a 15 minute mobility. So you could do that before a lift.

You could do it right before a game or on an off day. That’s all body weight. So easy to fit in anywhere. You could do it right here, Tom, right here at Disney [00:42:00] World. There’s also gonna be good, okay, there’s also a 20 minute strength light enough to be used on game day or practice, depending on minutes of course.

And then a 30 minute strength. This one is non-game day or lighter practice day, and she has a little devil next to that one, so I think she’s serious. Camille Ramon has a strength split for you. Yeah. Now this is unofficial. She put this together and it has a bunch of different classes. That she has out there that are available, but it is an unofficial split.

It’s over four weeks and if you want to see it, we will have it. The full link to all of the classes will be in our newsletter. You can also find it though on Laila Mafia and that is over on Instagram. They have an account and they posted all four weeks of it, which is where we got it. It. Thank you for sharing.

Peloton is celebrating Global Running Day. Why would you celebrate that? That’s not something to celebrate. It’s amazing. That’s [00:43:00] why. And it’s today June 4th, and it’s also the first time. So we’ve talked about Peloton having, you know, outdoor runs and they were gonna launch New York Run Club and it started over in London.

Now New York is gonna have it. That is all kicking off the very first time London, New York. Both gonna have global running day live outdoor classes with members for the first time ever. That’s pretty cool. First group run will be taking place today, June 4th, 6:00 PM Eastern. And it’s gonna be a stacked 30 minute global running day.

This is in addition to the run that’s taking place. Peloton is also featuring a running class that has Robin, Matt, Kirsten, Marcel, Hannah, and John all in one class. Awesome. So that’s great. Then in addition to all of that on Global Running Day, a 30 minute run with Running Legends, Catherine Switzer and Susie Chan, how incredibly exciting.

[00:44:00] Yesterday, Susie posted about it. She like did little excerpts from the video that she created. This one dropped on demand. And she was talking about how Katherine Switzer still runs five days a week. And that she actually first met Katherine Switzer back in 2018. And so she talked a little bit about their.

They’re evolving friendship, for lack of a better word, and how much Susie enjoyed getting to know Catherine, and I’m sure Catherine would say the same. There’s also gonna be more runs from Beck Gentry, Jeffrey Mcit. There’s also new focus flow for runners dropping from Mariana.

So lots of ways to get involved and it is a big deal, Tom. It’s global running day air, pulling out all the stop. They are. And I’m glad running for a long time kind of was the stepchild, peloton. Now it’s rowing.

Cliff Dwyer is combining cardio with strength. Yeah. And he goes into a long explanation of why. And it’s a, it’s, I mean, you shouldn’t do all cardio. You [00:45:00] also shouldn’t do all strength. He’s gonna have live strength classes that are gonna be taking place every Monday and Sunday. So he is adding, in, adding to the strength programming. And finally we have a new strength plus program, or we don’t, Peloton does. Yeah. It’s called build then burn. Well, this is interesting because not only is it a Palestine Strength Plus program, but it also is a two for one.

It’s a program that has Ben Aldis and Jocelyn Thompson rule together in one program. And I, I’m not quite sure why Peloton is all of a sudden doubling, tripling, quadrupling down on all of these multi-class. Yeah. I love it. It’s a lot of fun. Right. I’m glad to see it, but I don’t get why it’s, so many of them are happening.

Yeah. All of a sudden. But I think this is the first program on Strength Plus that there’s two instructors. I could be wrong. I haven’t really taken a lot. It seems, it seems like a smart way to get people to try new instructors. It does, but it’s also like, why haven’t they been doing it for [00:46:00] years?

It’s a great question, I guess. ’cause it’s a smart idea. Dang. Dang. Also, I will just say about this program, it is strength training with Ben and then it’s a tread finisher with Jocelyn. So she’s kind of popping onto the treadmill. So you’re getting, you’re getting both cardio and your strength that’s gonna help you boost endurance and power up your pace at the same time.

We’ve got two birthdays for you this week coming up on June 8th. It is the birthday of Cody Rigsby and then coming up on June 9th. It is AAL area. Well, happy birthday to Cody and aal. Yes, happy birthday. I guess that brings this episode to a close Until next week.
