#PELOTON BOOTCAMP SERIES#
The featured artist series Peloton teased last week has officially been announced today. You can reflect on the intervals you just finished on the bike, (try to) catch your breath, and look forward to some fun mat work. The Peloton ABBA classes artist series will launch on December 15 and will feature rides, runs, bike bootcamp, strength, and yoga with ABBA music. When you jump off the bike to hit the mat you need to take a minute to switch shoes, from cycling to running/normal, and it’s that in between moment where things are momentarily zen. While I’ve only taken one Bootcamp on our Peloton bike I was instantly sold. While a class like Bike Bootcamp - or something similar with just cycling and strength training combined over a short period of time - won’t quite match a large gym environment with large workout spaces and equipment, it does afford a different in-home experience. And because each type of exercise worked out different muscle groups in unique ways the overall experience felt balanced and effective. The variety among the stations kept things interesting. coached by our instructor with blaring music to get us pumped. We’d rotate in intervals that differed every class - 4 min, 6 min, 12 min, etc. I used to take “Fire Classes” at our local gym which featured an hour-long mix of rowing, weight station cardio and elliptical. Instructors Jess Sims, Cody Rigsby, and Robin Arzn will put members. Bootcamps are similar to interval training classes. To make the Bike and Bike+ more multidimensional, Peloton is launching Bike Bootcamp classes on Sept. Not the biggest news in the world, but a small indication of where home fitness might be headed. Later it’s Robin Arzón with an intermediate 45 minute Bootcamp 11/18 8:30AM PT/11:30AM PT, with Cody Rigsby closing out the week with an intermediate 30 minute class 11/20 4:30AM (!) PT/7:30AM ET. However, Peloton recently implemented GymKit with Bike Bootcamp, a multi-disciplinary class type that combines strength and cardio, which the feature does not support. Jess Sims leads an all levels 60 minute class 11/16 2PM PT/5PM ET. Indeed, here’s the new logo you’ll find on the Bike/Bike+ and Peloton Digital App to denote the Bike Bootcamp section: Given their popularity it’s no surprise that the company has also announced that “Bike Bootcamp will now be an official Peloton discipline.” In addition to being in the on-demand library Bike Bootcamps will also be offered live - a popular social option given shelter-in-place edicts and the inability to workout at the local gym. Previously the workouts which feature a mix of time on the bike alternating with time on the mat next to the bike working with weights were only available to Treat customers. Fans of the Peloton bike finally got their collective wish when the home fitness company sprinkled in a few “Bike Bootcamp” classes earlier this year.
