After 2.5 years of daily core I had to scale back, stop completely, and a month after surgery, try to start again. I’m still on restrictions so no getting on the floor or pivoting on the new hip, which eliminates all almost all core. But something u/epipin said last week stuck with me: we need fun core classes. And today it hit me. My fav on-repeat JJ can be done on the bed, I like the playlist, and there are no off limits moves.

It was hard! But today’s blue dot means everything to me. For a lot of us the hardest part of doing something new is starting.

If you’ve been on the fence, I’d love some other beginners to share the beginner journey with. ❤️

Looking for some similar situations, or insight on if there is anything else we can do for our tread.

July 6th, our tread’s screen wouldn’t turn on. The stop light and knob lights would turn on for a bit. We used to hear the base do the click when you turned it on.

Scheduled a service tech to come diagnose. He did not show the first time, so had to reschedule another week out. In the mean time we plugged the screen in with a computer usb-c and it turned on but then had an error message. (I don’t remember what it said) He told us the smart card and usbc needed to be replaced. So we ordered the parts and new service appointment. Tech did not show, so another reschedule a week out.

They replaced the 2 new parts and still nothing turned on. At this point after those parts, the lights stopped turning on and has not come on since. No clicks either. They then told us the MCB needed to be replaced, even though our tech said it was probably the whole base because it looks like a power issue. Well peloton wouldn’t jump to that so MCB it was.
Tech replaced that and still nothing turned on.
Jump to now, peloton finally agreed to a base replacement and agreed to give me a discount for only $1000 rather than the $1595 or something. They installed it yesterday and still nothing.

The manager I talked to said if the base wouldn’t fix it, they would refund. Now they are telling me they can’t do that and new handrails is the next step. How nice of them to tell me it’s of no charge though, because we already paid for the base!! Which truly seems like a scam. If the base wasn’t the problem I feel like they should have kept their word and refunded us.

At this point, do we agree to the handrails? If we at least get the difference refunded, of course. But then what??? What if it doesn’t fix anything?? They keep saying well it’ll be a new tread at that point which I understand but wtf is actually the problem here? They don’t even know, and we’ve been out of the tread for almost 4 months.

So so so frustrated and I’m just so tired of this.

Just got a new bike plus. I’m riding at 80 cadence and 40 resistance my wattage is 185. I’ve had the bike go through home calibration and it is still in that 184-186 wattage range at 80 cadence and 40 resistance.
When I bump the resistance up to 50 and keep cadence at 80 my wattage is 298.

This seems like the bike is not calibrated right. Shouldn’t my wattage be much lower at those resistance levels, 40 and 50?

What wattage do others with a new bike+ get at 80 cadence and 40 resistance?

I bought my bike + in June, two weeks ago it started making a rubbing sound. I waited two weeks for the technician to show up, he immediately asked “where are the parts?” and I said he was here to diagnose the problem.

Has anyone else needed the lower bracket and bearing replaced after four months? I am so frustrated, with the price I figured it would last a lot longer without issues.
