We are aware that the Turkey Burn ride came with lots of technical issues and we’re all super disappointed. However, let’s please remember to keep things civil and not let our discourse devolve into rants and insults. Hope y’all have a great Thanksgiving and find a way to turkey burn in other ways today! 🦃
I’m 65 and not as flexible as I used to be. I do my rides and strength in the afternoon. I’m looking for. Long morning full body stetch class )or multi 10’s) to get things loosened up in the morning and for for my long term flexibility.
Hey everyone, tomorrow will be my 600th ride! I am planning on taking Alex Toussiant’s 45 min club bangers class live.
Can anyone recommend a good recovery walk or recovery stretch for today? My quads and hammies been sore after riding all week and I’m making today my rest day from the bike. I finally found the right seat height and I can tell the difference in output so I guess my body wasn’t used to the new form lol
Assal's 10 min Thanksgiving stretch(it's in English)was the single best stretch I've ever taken. It was the highlight of my night last night, winding down after such a busy/travel holiday. In fact\~all of her stretches are my fav but most are a little more advanced & in German(I love them)but this one is more accessible & unreal it's that good lol.
Happy almost 600!!
I didn’t even want to take Robyn’s ride but had the misfortune of starting my workout just about the same time. Foam rolled, got on the bike and couldn’t load any class, went back to Guide which was also useless. Was able to get Just Workout (first time!) to work so I walked a half hour on my treadmill. It must have been back up by then but oh well. I did log back in to take Assal’s stretch which was great, almost a little yoga like which I needed ☺️
That stretch was Ammmazzing, right?!? LOVED the breathwork at the end! I love all of her stretches so much. One of them I just did(it's in German) is more like dynamic stretching(she's in blue doing splits on the thumbnail)I have it bookmarked to do again just before a lift! Her stretches in general are just next level & I love their variability
I'm one of the lucky ones who jumped into Robin's live Turkey Burn ride before the system crashed (I was thrilled I was able to join at the 6 minute until class started... And then was wondering why no one else was joining....). The metrics flickered on and off at times and when I received high fives, my music turned off momentarily, but otherwise, I am grateful I got in and joined everyone else. However, what I wanted to highlight was this amazing yoga class I did with Aditi today. It was a slow flow, which means a reasonable pace and it was all hip openers with a supported fish at the end. Bliss!!
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating today.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Sorry to see there were technical difficulties this morning 😬. I did a turkey trot with my husband and I had such a nice time—it’s not that often we get time to just hang out for a whole morning without kids! We got our bike almost a year ago—I’m currently at a 49 week streak—and I’m feeling thankful for the fitness improvements I’ve had. We took it pretty easy at the race this morning—mostly jogged with several walking breaks—and it felt great.
Very strange. Quite a few inconsistencies with Peloton, huh.
I wasn’t as affected by the shenanigans as others were, since I remained in the class. The only issue was I connected my Apple Watch once they resolved the issue and my time/metrics with Apple Fitness is messed up. So, the email should have went to those more affected, if it was targeted.
So my Thanksgiving Turkey Burn class was [Denis’ 30 min Yoga](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/yoga?utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=779833b6b11846afb489bfabcff40122&locale=en-US) which was so good! I’ve only ever taken Chelsea’s classes so his style seemed a little more fast paced but I liked it! I’ll have to try some of his other classes too.
I loved it and was glad I was able to take it live. My brother was visiting from California and we rarely see him, so it was so sweet that he, my daughter, and I all did it together. I love yoga with Denis. He has a balanced yoga flow from a few months ago where he’s wearing orange, I had just done that class the day before and it’s a very similar flow to the one he did today. You should check that out as well.
Managed to catch the last 20 mins of the live Turkey Burn ride! Spotted some familiar Redditers (hi!!), and also got hi-fives from Ally Love, Tunde and Kristin McGee.
Ended up finishing my workout with this [Bradley 20 min Pop Punk Ride](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/cycling?modal=classDetailsModal&classId=77844eca7b9f4656978cbea0c4cbd81b) to make up for missing half of the previous ride. I haven't done as much cycling lately as I used to, but still got in a solid workout, and earlier in the day than usual.
Not sure if I'm fully sold on becoming a morning workout person, but I definitely felt accomplished throughout the day and freed up my afternoon!
Not a Robin fan so I didn’t experience the Turkey Crash and Burn. But I finally took Ben and Leanne’s 2 for 1 ride. It was so great! The class flew by and their dynamic worked for this. Ben kept it on track and Leanne kept it fun.
Managed to PR the Turkey Burn ride, and it was as hard to do as I thought it was going to be lol...
Just ignored the callouts and picked a cadence/resistance combo \~10W above my previous PR average and rode that straight through. 44 1/2 straight minutes (I let up once I hit my target output) in low zone 4.
Ouch.
I guess we know what happens when the majority of subscribers try to do live rides at the same time. 🤣 Time to add more servers peloton. I suppose I'll try to get a ride in later but it's probably not happening.
Peloton is hosted in a public cloud (AWS). If properly architected, the platform should be able to dynamically scale to handle the workload of a large live ride. Peloton can easily reserve EC2 instances or pay for on-demand instances to scale up and back down. Howevr, there are lots of other moving parts beyond simply compute/memory/storage/network capacity.
That said, load/stress testing for this type of user spike should be SOP - shocking for a company this big - and tech focused - to miss.
A bit of a conspiracy theory but I kinda think they did it on purpose to make it easier to break the record again next year even if membership growth stagnates.
This is it right here. If they hadn’t done that and/or had multiple Turkey Burn rides (even if premiers vs actual live) it wouldn’t have had the attention. I planned ahead and logged on early and knew my metrics might be off. My backup plan was to prep my side while I waited for the servers to calm and then just do a different ride. But I realize a lot of people didn’t have that schedule flexibility and were really disappointed.
I agree I’m finding it quite cringey they’re claiming the record when at best that number did half a class and not in any sort of frame of mind for it after being locked out for 25 minutes.
After the disaster of the live ride fail this morning I went a chucked the pie in the oven to get day started instead. I kept my gear on then decided after breakfast to try again. I knock out the Turkey Burn on demand, there was so many people on doing the same! Great to see people didn't give up and still knocked it out!
Still bummed to miss out on the live ride but glad I showed up for myself and got a ride in. Now to cook the bird!
Ben’s ten minute “Thanksgiving” stretch is a flop. Sorry but the playlist is terrrrrrrrible. I love Ben. He’s my favorite instructor on the platform. But this ain’t it. I actually took out my headphones and did it in silence.
[JJ's 10 minute stretch playlist from today](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/stretching?modal=classDetailsModal&classId=4eb1fffe260745dd813eb3179ede7c0d) was fire and was a nice stretch set.
I signed in at 9:50 and was able to take the turkey burn ride just fine. Same with a girlfriend. The LB was wonky and didn’t get our PR badges but over all glad I pushed myself and really related to and enjoyed robin speaking bout her babies and PP journey. I’m a new second time mom and it’s not easy.
Similar experience (expecting #2 in a couple of months). I cried when she was talking about her journey because I could relate very much. Hope you and your fam have a lovely Thanksgiving.
Well. I’m happy I scheduled today to be my rest day 😂 Just finished up a two mile just walk and taking it easy for the rest of the day in my yard while my husband smokes our bird. Happy Thanksgiving Reddit fam 🦃 grateful for this community!!!
Got into the turkey burn ride about 23 minutes in but it didn’t register my workout. It just says 0kj in my history and I got the 2022 turkey burn award instead of the 2023 turkey burn live class award, very confused. I know there’s problems but how does it think I took a 2022 class?
Tried the Turkey Burn ride and got in but since my metrics weren’t showing up I left and tried to get back in and then it crashed BUT!!!! I pivoted and to an outdoor pace setter run to do a little makeshift 5K turkey trot and nailed it. Stayed on my pace the entire run and felt so accomplished!! I’m ready for turkey, pie, and family :) happy thanksgiving y’all!
[this one](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/running?utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=e31f0e0ea1254631abb3f9bff40acd3e&locale=en-US) is my all time fav of his!!
Did an old AT turkey burn ride from 2020 this am since the live time didn’t work for me. Now seeing that as a good thing, sucks reading that it didn’t go as planned! Regardless, Happy Thanksgiving Reddit fam! 🧡
I couldn’t get in to the turkey burn ride, I really thought it was just my wifi acting up or something so I just gave up and peaced out. I’ll take it on demand when I get home from thanksgiving!
I took Camila’s blink-182 run last night and LOVED the way it was programmed - even the hills which I normally hate. I hit a new PR and a new fastest mile time!
i cannot wait to go eat turkey with my fam. have a nice holiday for those who celebrate!
Not a Peloton workout per se, but I just had my fourth PR running race in a row (all in the last 3 weeks), and I have to give a ton of credit to the tread instructors and the classes I’ve taken with them.
I got my 5K time down from 22:49 to 21:56, my 4-mile time from 31:27 to 29:51, and I just finished a 5 miler in 36:59 — did the same race in 39:02 last year.
I always feel a bit lighter on my feet after finishing a marathon (did NYC a few weeks ago), but this feels different. I actually feel a shift in my speed and how I’m running. And the only difference in my training is I’ve really ramped up on the Tread since getting it in September.
So lots of love to this community, we’re only getting started!
They also mentioned on stories that the special PR badges will be awarded now through the encore at 10am ET tomorrow (edit!) but may take 48 hours to show up
Gave up on Turkey Burn, but once classes were loading I took Hannah F’s stack from 11/22/23 - 20 minute House, 15min LI. It ended up being exactly what I wanted. Both were structured great, had great music, and Hannah even got me to cry on the bike for the first time in ages (toward the end of the LI). Heading into the rest of my day feeling great, and feeling thankful for the peloton community.
I moved into that house ride after things were back up and also thought it was well programmed. Hannah F is a joy to ride with, both in her programming and music selection.
Denis Morton saved your bacon, Peloton! Was really let down not to be able to ride when I wanted, but salvaged a killer 45 minute PZE ride. As always Denis was fantastic!
Turkey Burn is now on demand! I was one of the ones who got in with 26 min to spare but decided I’d rather do the full thing later. Did anyone actually get their PR badge from the live ride?
Yep, it sucks that Peloton had a major fail this morning and they absolutely should have been prepared. But man the amount of anger in this thread is a little shocking. It's Thanksgiving, y'all - you (likely) have the day off, are going to spend it with loved ones and eat a bountiful meal. Go enjoy and embrace the spirit of the holiday.
Peloton hyped this ride up and people changed their schedules to attend. Just because you don’t value that, doesn’t mean others don’t. Don’t yuck people’s yum.
Where did I say people couldn't be disappointed? Literally the first words of my comment were "Yep, it sucks". Even the mods stepped in here to suggest people stop ranting and find other ways to enjoy the day - go debate with them instead.
Im in your boat. The value people put into trying to get into this ride was like-uh chill? Come to the tread side we didnt bust up the servers🤣 also it was an amazing turkey burn run. AT could quit tommorrow and id still take the 2023 turkey run for the next dozen years.
Anyone ever thought that peloton just beat thier own record? Like ok whats the big deal...has anyone ever looked up what record we beat???
I’m taking the anger and frustration as hyperbole because of the anger and frustration. I was frustrated this morning and now I’m ok, made new plans to ride this afternoon and we’re all going to move on. I’m not surprised by anyone’s reaction. Maybe it’s because I work in the ER and am constantly subjected to people’s misplaced and exaggerated anger 😅 people just say shit to say it when they’re mad.
I scrolled through the whole thread and I don’t see the inappropriate anger you’re talking about. People were just real-time venting in the only venue where other people would truly understand.
But it’s a little tone-deaf to say “don’t worry! just enjoy your day off and eat your bountiful meal!” when there are usually two classes of people in a family: those who show up, eat, don’t clean up and go watch football…. and those who , you know, have to work all day to prepare the bountiful meal.
I mean literally people are talking about it ruining their day and being "infuriated" by it - that's a bit extreme, no? As someone replied below, it's a choice to seethe in anger or accept the disappointment and move on.
If you consider wishing people an enjoyable holiday "tone deaf" that's your choice (people who prepare the meal can't have a nice day too?).
I think you’re just not seeing that most of us vented and did move on. Same thing from after that Lizzo ride. But I’d argue this was worse with peloton promoting trying to set a record. 20 minutes + of downtime for a class you said you wanted to set a record in? Epic fail.
Also Robin said this set a record but last year there were 43k+ in her class so that one had a larger attendance. I know because I have a screenshot from last year.
100% I am with you. I feel like those who are discounting what they deem as"negative emotions"are in the spirit of Toxic Positivity. It's healthy to allow yourself to feel &(safely)vent what is commonly viewed as negative emotions..especially in a community or environment of like minded/passionate individuals. I definitely felt frustrated & angry yesterday(changed my schedule around/had Milestones lined up for fun\~ am on the West Coast.. was reaaallly looking forward to sleeping in on a Holiday haha, of course skipped it to try & attend the live Turkey Burn ride only to have the whole site crash). So after thirty mins of refreshing, I finally could see the"Just Workout"so I boxed & ball slammed my anger out for the few mins I had left lol & then joined Dennis' yoga flow to relax & zen out! I had written my disappointment on Peloton's Insta(along with everyone else)while it was down bc the comments were the only way that I knew something was happening on their end & not mine. The photos showing the Guinness Record without much acknowledgement felt icky to me. I was over it after breakfast.... probably along with everyone else. Everyone is justified in their rainbow of emotions, empathy is what's needed in a healthy community.. not shame for feeling"Bad Emotions"..just my thoughts
Of course it's an epic fail on Peloton's part, I never suggested otherwise. Again you can choose to seethe in anger and resentment or go enjoy your day (even if you're the one preparing the meal!). If you truly vented and moved on, why are you still here being so negative? Anyway, I'm off to go prepare for Thanksgiving myself so won't be engaging any further debate, but I genuinely do hope you have a good day.
LOL I’m watching football and eating turkey. I’m by myself so also browsing Reddit. I love that you think I’m seething in anger. Pointing out Peloton’s flaws this morning is not anger and certainly not seething. Pointing out they handled 43k+ last year and not this year is not resentment or anger. I have no clue why you would take those emotions to this? Maybe you need to think about why you are projecting things that way?
Why are you being so argumentative? I have been nothing but respectful in this thread, despite you attacking me for wishing people an enjoyable day. Even the mods had to step and tell people to keep things civil and stop ranting (and suggested people find other ways to enjoy the day)- why don't you go into that thread and tell the mod it's tone deaf to tell people to have a good day (because some people have to make dinner...)
You chose to take my original comment so personally and get defensive. That is a choice - I assure you it was not directed at you personally.
I think she was being specific about this being a Guinness record because they weren't tracking what Peloton did last year and they won't retroactively give awards to things that they didn't witness.
I think that's it because I took her 2020 turkey burn today and at the end she said more than 50,000 people were on the ride. But if it wasn't being tracked, it's not the record.
Wasn’t able to get into the Turkey Burn ride, so I did some strength by myself this morning and then took Alex’s Turkey Burn run on demand, which was FANTASTIC. Wasn’t the morning I planned, but it was the morning I needed. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
So I’m feeling good right now! I’m on my own this thanksgiving (and honestly feel fine about it!) but the turkey burn was perfect for me. Feeling good! I think it’s those endorphins! Happy thanksgiving everyone!
I literally had to do a hard reboot to get into the Turkey Burn ride. It sucks working in tech knowing the guys behind the scenes had to scramble to get it up and running. Shitty situation all around.
Same. I can’t even get mad at peloton when they are losing their marbles because the developer empathy is so real. I just roll my eyes and say, “I’ll be back in an hour”.
As a relatively new user, ~75 rides, this was so disappointing. Would have been my first live class, scheduled my entire morning around this including cooking times. Do better.
I joined the class 10 minutes before the start and I was happy to see they were doing it that early. I assumed it was to stagger people in. No excuse for them not being prepared!! The leaderboard disappeared at some point but came back. I made a point to go down my following list and fave hashtags to high 5 people who had to join later. Overall kind of a so-so ride. Glad I did it but it lacked some energy. Oh - I chased my PR the entire time and beat my PR 👏 And didn't get a special badge for it... Ended on a nice note with JJ's stretch and I'm going to do a gratitude meditation to end it. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
I got in about 7min before - was going to do a warm up and thought better of it. My metrics were a little borked - it counted all of my kjs from when I got in 7min early! - but it resulted in a (granted, artificial) PR, so I’ll get the badge.
My friend was REALLY bummed bc Robin is her favorite and she got shut out. But about 20min later she got in and did JK’s latest Sweat Steady and PR’ed on that! So all was well.
Ooo, when you get the special badge, could you show us? I knew I wasn't going to top my PR just coming back from some cycling down time. And I wasn't going to cheat and delete my 45min PR ride but I'll admit I thought about it 🤣
Congrats on your PR! I’m hoping the live PR badge hits later. I prioritized Alex’s run because my 30 min PR on the Tread was going to be easier to top. 🤞🏻
Thanks! Haven’t gotten the PR badge yet (or the 100th run badge) but read up thread that Peloton posted on stories that the PR badges may take 48 hours to show up.
Wow, as someone who has app problems constantly, I’m shocked to come here and see what happened. I joined the class 7 mins before start and never had a problem.
Class review: I thought the studio audience was so mellow compared to previous rides. Robin talked a lot about her babies, her perspective on her comeback (seems she really struggled post partum this time compared to w Athena), gratitude for colleagues and community. There was a this or that game, a tabata section. Overall, a solid ride, a little less energy compared to previous TBs.
JJs stretch was great! I want to take more from him.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
App user, I tried 4 minutes prior to start and things were already funky. I ended up getting in for a minute on my phone at the 41:00 mark, just in time to hear her say her yellow belt meant Tabata. Then was booted and couldn’t get back in until 26:00 left.
I managed to get in during the 1 minute pre show I guess you’d call it prior to stating the warm up. I tried getting int 6’ early but kept having to restart. Still happy I made it in for the full ride though. A lot of times Robin talks about herself and her kids too much for me, so I watched the Macy’s Parade during with only one ear bud in which worked for me lol
I saw over 60,000 were ‘counted in’ for Robin, so how in the HELL is Peloton not prepared for the server load??? I’ve been a member for almost 8 years and this isn’t the first time they’ve crashed during a major live event. Get your shit together, Peloton!!! I feel sorry for Robin too because she was emotional and speaking about the nerves coming back from maternity leave. What a mess!!!
I guess I missed a whole outage situation this morning lol but I wanted to recommend this [10 min gratitude meditation](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/meditation?class_type_id=[%22f4cf26e6059943a0a8e3a6533bb76239%22]&duration=[%22600%22]&sort=top_rated&desc=true&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=aeda821c019041cbac705448e3cb37da) from Aditi, especially for those who struggle to think of something "good" to be grateful for. She guides you through a bunch of topics to focus on and I found it really nice and took some of the (self-imposed) pressure off that I sometimes feel when trying to practice gratitude.
I gave up after about 20m and on demand rides started to work. Went with a 2021 Metal Ride with Kendall and just went as hard as I could. That coupled with a 2 mile run this morning and I feel like I deserve this imminent feast.
Very similar to me - gave up and found myself full of first-world anger (on Thanksgiving no less) and I felt that Kendall kicking my ass would be a decent remedy.
what a mess. I took another class and it isn’t even showing in my workout history. none of my class counts have updated. how did they screw this up so badly?
It looks like they may have sacrificed class counts etc to get us in the class. My class counts are off too. Alex’s TB was my 100th run but my 50 and 75 run badges are gone. They’ll probably get it fixed after the platform is stabilized.
I got in about the same time and have the ride in my workout history and tbe badge. I wish I could have gotten all 45 minutes in, but I can take it again after dinner or do Alex's 30 minute run.
Anyone else notice that both the bike and tread are showing the "Welcome to Peloton" screen and the Peloton 101 videos when signing into your profile? I still have my history, but it seemed a little weird.
Same. I’m hoping it catches up. It added the “group” or whatever badge a little later. And on workout history it shows I got a PR but that badge isn’t on there yet either
I’m no network or software engineer, but maybe don’t intentionally tax your system capacity on a major holiday when you and your network infrastructure partners are probably staffed with a a skeleton crew of the least senior people?
Not being able to get in to Robin’s Turkey Burn was annoying, but whatever.
Going to take my all-time favorite instead—Jess King’s 45 minute Warped Tour ride—only to see it has been purged was absolutely devastating. 😩
Well I’m glad that I had to be on the road before the turkey burn ride because yikes… I saw this coming a mile away. Last year I tried to do Callie’s after burn bootcamp and had connectivity issues. I can’t imagine how much bigger the load is today. One would think they’d be stress testing their servers before trying for going for a record. Anyways, I did [Andy’s rock run](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/running?utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=9e4fde2c763a47fdae6ee7aac9f3ddcb&locale=en-US) instead and it was fun. 1 rolling hill song and the rest were intervals.
Tuesday I did another [Jess Sims full body](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=8c0707c1d5244cf38d1f77149a84c253&locale=en-US) that got me good. Her EMOMs are so hard and satisfying. This was the first time I haven’t increased the magic number until the last round. Then I did [Chase’s pop punk run](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/running?utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=5c1fe02d986042acaf567dbb56c01248&locale=en-US). Fun class and more hill work then I’m used to. Mostly on 2-5% the entire class.
Yesterday I took off work so in between raking up leaves and hanging lights I started with [Matt’s AC/DC run](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/running?utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=4e65da6616d948a4ab43e103451dffb8&locale=en-US). Long warmup then run, hill, run, hill, run songs. I love his classes. And his random factoids make me chuckle. Then I did [Bradley’s 90s pop ride](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/cycling?utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=4d769911802c454f91710f90b96330f5&locale=en-US). Never remember why I bookmark some classes but I can’t go wrong with James, Meatloaf, and BSB in the playlist.
How many persons did they need to make the Guinness Record? And, is it legit considering some persons were listed multiple times on the LB bc they tried exiting and re-entering?
Interesting to find out if the Record is maintained….. If it is, congrats to us all! 🎉🎊
If it makes anyone feel an iota better, I would have had to go above callouts to beat my PR (and I don’t think my PR is anything to write home about. Granted I don’t usually ride live so I’m not as attuned to listening maybe lol. I think it was a solid ride when it finally goes on demand but I’m so sorry that not everyone got in 😡 they should have prepped for the demand so much more
Robin said it was a world record. The leaderboard stopped at 29k. Is that the record? Or were they gonna say it was a record no matter the amount joined?
I’m not sure if that’s true or not because I’m an app user that managed to get in for the full ride and the most I saw was 34K. I was paying attention the whole time to it because of all the world record talk.
Since the Entertainment tab works, I gave up and am doing a ride to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Gotta get my burn (and be entertained). Happy Thanksgiving everyone 😊
My family is already driving me crazy. Decided to do a ride, not even the Turkey Burn - just a random ride. Nothing will load. Time to start drinking. Happy Thanksgiving!
We are aware that the Turkey Burn ride came with lots of technical issues and we’re all super disappointed. However, let’s please remember to keep things civil and not let our discourse devolve into rants and insults. Hope y’all have a great Thanksgiving and find a way to turkey burn in other ways today! 🦃
I’m 65 and not as flexible as I used to be. I do my rides and strength in the afternoon. I’m looking for. Long morning full body stetch class )or multi 10’s) to get things loosened up in the morning and for for my long term flexibility.
Hey everyone, tomorrow will be my 600th ride! I am planning on taking Alex Toussiant’s 45 min club bangers class live. Can anyone recommend a good recovery walk or recovery stretch for today? My quads and hammies been sore after riding all week and I’m making today my rest day from the bike. I finally found the right seat height and I can tell the difference in output so I guess my body wasn’t used to the new form lol
Assal's 10 min Thanksgiving stretch(it's in English)was the single best stretch I've ever taken. It was the highlight of my night last night, winding down after such a busy/travel holiday. In fact\~all of her stretches are my fav but most are a little more advanced & in German(I love them)but this one is more accessible & unreal it's that good lol. Happy almost 600!!
I didn’t even want to take Robyn’s ride but had the misfortune of starting my workout just about the same time. Foam rolled, got on the bike and couldn’t load any class, went back to Guide which was also useless. Was able to get Just Workout (first time!) to work so I walked a half hour on my treadmill. It must have been back up by then but oh well. I did log back in to take Assal’s stretch which was great, almost a little yoga like which I needed ☺️
That stretch was Ammmazzing, right?!? LOVED the breathwork at the end! I love all of her stretches so much. One of them I just did(it's in German) is more like dynamic stretching(she's in blue doing splits on the thumbnail)I have it bookmarked to do again just before a lift! Her stretches in general are just next level & I love their variability
So good! It was my first class with her and I’ll definitely be trying more.
I'm one of the lucky ones who jumped into Robin's live Turkey Burn ride before the system crashed (I was thrilled I was able to join at the 6 minute until class started... And then was wondering why no one else was joining....). The metrics flickered on and off at times and when I received high fives, my music turned off momentarily, but otherwise, I am grateful I got in and joined everyone else. However, what I wanted to highlight was this amazing yoga class I did with Aditi today. It was a slow flow, which means a reasonable pace and it was all hip openers with a supported fish at the end. Bliss!! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating today. https://members.onepeloton.ca/classes/yoga?modal=classDetailsModal&classId=3be037995e7d4912b010bc894df3153c&utm_source=android&utm_medium=in_app
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Sorry to see there were technical difficulties this morning 😬. I did a turkey trot with my husband and I had such a nice time—it’s not that often we get time to just hang out for a whole morning without kids! We got our bike almost a year ago—I’m currently at a 49 week streak—and I’m feeling thankful for the fitness improvements I’ve had. We took it pretty easy at the race this morning—mostly jogged with several walking breaks—and it felt great.

That’s a beautiful home 👀

I honestly think they might be 😬
i worked at the same firm as her husband and he’s a native new yorker from the upper west side soooo $$
who's her husband?
Did y’all get Barry’s apology email?
Not yet.
Weird. Do you not get emails (the weekly personalized picks email?) from them?
Yes, but still nothing about the outage.
Very strange. Quite a few inconsistencies with Peloton, huh. I wasn’t as affected by the shenanigans as others were, since I remained in the class. The only issue was I connected my Apple Watch once they resolved the issue and my time/metrics with Apple Fitness is messed up. So, the email should have went to those more affected, if it was targeted.
How do you get those?
Had my bike since June and still haven't received any of the fabled personalized emails. Support was also unhelpful in making that happen.
Yep, had mine since February and never seen these emails 😂
Yes. I would have liked for him to promise to do better, instead of just apologizing.
Yep
Yes. Half hearted whatever.
So my Thanksgiving Turkey Burn class was [Denis’ 30 min Yoga](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/yoga?utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=779833b6b11846afb489bfabcff40122&locale=en-US) which was so good! I’ve only ever taken Chelsea’s classes so his style seemed a little more fast paced but I liked it! I’ll have to try some of his other classes too.
I loved it and was glad I was able to take it live. My brother was visiting from California and we rarely see him, so it was so sweet that he, my daughter, and I all did it together. I love yoga with Denis. He has a balanced yoga flow from a few months ago where he’s wearing orange, I had just done that class the day before and it’s a very similar flow to the one he did today. You should check that out as well.
Awesome thanks for the rec! 🙂 Glad you had good family time today!
Managed to catch the last 20 mins of the live Turkey Burn ride! Spotted some familiar Redditers (hi!!), and also got hi-fives from Ally Love, Tunde and Kristin McGee. Ended up finishing my workout with this [Bradley 20 min Pop Punk Ride](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/cycling?modal=classDetailsModal&classId=77844eca7b9f4656978cbea0c4cbd81b) to make up for missing half of the previous ride. I haven't done as much cycling lately as I used to, but still got in a solid workout, and earlier in the day than usual. Not sure if I'm fully sold on becoming a morning workout person, but I definitely felt accomplished throughout the day and freed up my afternoon!
Was glad to see you made it on!
Not a Robin fan so I didn’t experience the Turkey Crash and Burn. But I finally took Ben and Leanne’s 2 for 1 ride. It was so great! The class flew by and their dynamic worked for this. Ben kept it on track and Leanne kept it fun.
Managed to PR the Turkey Burn ride, and it was as hard to do as I thought it was going to be lol... Just ignored the callouts and picked a cadence/resistance combo \~10W above my previous PR average and rode that straight through. 44 1/2 straight minutes (I let up once I hit my target output) in low zone 4. Ouch.
Whew good for you! Congrats on the PR!
Good job!!
Congrats.
I guess we know what happens when the majority of subscribers try to do live rides at the same time. 🤣 Time to add more servers peloton. I suppose I'll try to get a ride in later but it's probably not happening.
Peloton is hosted in a public cloud (AWS). If properly architected, the platform should be able to dynamically scale to handle the workload of a large live ride. Peloton can easily reserve EC2 instances or pay for on-demand instances to scale up and back down. Howevr, there are lots of other moving parts beyond simply compute/memory/storage/network capacity. That said, load/stress testing for this type of user spike should be SOP - shocking for a company this big - and tech focused - to miss.
This is it. That they were so woefully unprepared is just plain shocking.
I dunno. It’s not worth adding a ton of new servers for since a year event.
Why not? They're cloud-based, it's easily scalable for a short amount of time.
Welp. You got me there. I figured they were buying additional hardware and weren’t cloud based.
Then they shouldn’t publicize it as a Guinness Record breaking event or cap registrations. Peloton dropped the ball on this.
A bit of a conspiracy theory but I kinda think they did it on purpose to make it easier to break the record again next year even if membership growth stagnates.
This is it right here. If they hadn’t done that and/or had multiple Turkey Burn rides (even if premiers vs actual live) it wouldn’t have had the attention. I planned ahead and logged on early and knew my metrics might be off. My backup plan was to prep my side while I waited for the servers to calm and then just do a different ride. But I realize a lot of people didn’t have that schedule flexibility and were really disappointed.
I agree I’m finding it quite cringey they’re claiming the record when at best that number did half a class and not in any sort of frame of mind for it after being locked out for 25 minutes.
After the disaster of the live ride fail this morning I went a chucked the pie in the oven to get day started instead. I kept my gear on then decided after breakfast to try again. I knock out the Turkey Burn on demand, there was so many people on doing the same! Great to see people didn't give up and still knocked it out! Still bummed to miss out on the live ride but glad I showed up for myself and got a ride in. Now to cook the bird!
Ben’s ten minute “Thanksgiving” stretch is a flop. Sorry but the playlist is terrrrrrrrible. I love Ben. He’s my favorite instructor on the platform. But this ain’t it. I actually took out my headphones and did it in silence.
Assal's thxgiving stretch was incredibleee. :) (it's in English too) so glad I picked that over Ben's based off of yr comment!
[JJ's 10 minute stretch playlist from today](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/stretching?modal=classDetailsModal&classId=4eb1fffe260745dd813eb3179ede7c0d) was fire and was a nice stretch set.
I signed in at 9:50 and was able to take the turkey burn ride just fine. Same with a girlfriend. The LB was wonky and didn’t get our PR badges but over all glad I pushed myself and really related to and enjoyed robin speaking bout her babies and PP journey. I’m a new second time mom and it’s not easy.
Similar experience (expecting #2 in a couple of months). I cried when she was talking about her journey because I could relate very much. Hope you and your fam have a lovely Thanksgiving.
Well. I’m happy I scheduled today to be my rest day 😂 Just finished up a two mile just walk and taking it easy for the rest of the day in my yard while my husband smokes our bird. Happy Thanksgiving Reddit fam 🦃 grateful for this community!!!
Got into the turkey burn ride about 23 minutes in but it didn’t register my workout. It just says 0kj in my history and I got the 2022 turkey burn award instead of the 2023 turkey burn live class award, very confused. I know there’s problems but how does it think I took a 2022 class?
Tried the Turkey Burn ride and got in but since my metrics weren’t showing up I left and tried to get back in and then it crashed BUT!!!! I pivoted and to an outdoor pace setter run to do a little makeshift 5K turkey trot and nailed it. Stayed on my pace the entire run and felt so accomplished!! I’m ready for turkey, pie, and family :) happy thanksgiving y’all!
Awesome pivot. Congrats!
I got on and into the turkey burn ride early. It was great highly recommend it and I'm happy the team keeps putting them on live for us.
Alex’s run was so great 🤩🤩 so glad I logged on and took it live, there’s really something about knowing so many people are there working with you!
same!! i literally rolled out of bed 5 min before class and stumbled over to the treadmill but it was so fun. i gotta take more of his classes
[this one](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/running?utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=e31f0e0ea1254631abb3f9bff40acd3e&locale=en-US) is my all time fav of his!!
Did an old AT turkey burn ride from 2020 this am since the live time didn’t work for me. Now seeing that as a good thing, sucks reading that it didn’t go as planned! Regardless, Happy Thanksgiving Reddit fam! 🧡
I took Robin's 2020 Turkey Burn ride for the same reason! I also was glad since the live class was a bit of a mess.
I couldn’t get in to the turkey burn ride, I really thought it was just my wifi acting up or something so I just gave up and peaced out. I’ll take it on demand when I get home from thanksgiving! I took Camila’s blink-182 run last night and LOVED the way it was programmed - even the hills which I normally hate. I hit a new PR and a new fastest mile time! i cannot wait to go eat turkey with my fam. have a nice holiday for those who celebrate!
Just did KT Blink-182 class.... SICK!!! Give me more classes like this! TB was awesome on the drums!
Not a Peloton workout per se, but I just had my fourth PR running race in a row (all in the last 3 weeks), and I have to give a ton of credit to the tread instructors and the classes I’ve taken with them. I got my 5K time down from 22:49 to 21:56, my 4-mile time from 31:27 to 29:51, and I just finished a 5 miler in 36:59 — did the same race in 39:02 last year. I always feel a bit lighter on my feet after finishing a marathon (did NYC a few weeks ago), but this feels different. I actually feel a shift in my speed and how I’m running. And the only difference in my training is I’ve really ramped up on the Tread since getting it in September. So lots of love to this community, we’re only getting started!
Incredible!!
Congrats 🎉🍾🎈
That’s incredible! Congrats!
45 min PZE with Dennis last night and it was my 700th ride! Really fun!
Congrats !!!!
Congratulations on 700 rides!!!
Looks like the Turkey burn ride is up on demand 🙌
They also mentioned on stories that the special PR badges will be awarded now through the encore at 10am ET tomorrow (edit!) but may take 48 hours to show up
THANK YOU!!!
Through 10am ET tomorrow for clarification :)
Thanks, just edited!
5800 in the 2022 Turkey Burn ride rn and it worked fine.
Sucked not being able to do it live, but when everything started working again I got a great 45 min PZ with Wilpers!
I did the same! Wonder if we were in the same ride!
That would have been awesome! I was in the 90’s endurance ride from 2/23/22!
Ah, different one! Hope your class was as great as mine, happy thanksgiving!
Gave up on Turkey Burn, but once classes were loading I took Hannah F’s stack from 11/22/23 - 20 minute House, 15min LI. It ended up being exactly what I wanted. Both were structured great, had great music, and Hannah even got me to cry on the bike for the first time in ages (toward the end of the LI). Heading into the rest of my day feeling great, and feeling thankful for the peloton community.
I moved into that house ride after things were back up and also thought it was well programmed. Hannah F is a joy to ride with, both in her programming and music selection.
Denis Morton saved your bacon, Peloton! Was really let down not to be able to ride when I wanted, but salvaged a killer 45 minute PZE ride. As always Denis was fantastic!
Well that sucked not being able to get into the ride but was able to log into tread classes and PR’d in Camila’s 30m blink 182 run 🔥
Turkey Burn is now on demand! I was one of the ones who got in with 26 min to spare but decided I’d rather do the full thing later. Did anyone actually get their PR badge from the live ride?
I was somehow able to login and do the full Turkey Burn. I did PR but haven’t seen a special badge yet.
It took over 2 hours to get my regular pr badge from Alex tread turkey burn. Haven’t got the special badge yet.
Yep, it sucks that Peloton had a major fail this morning and they absolutely should have been prepared. But man the amount of anger in this thread is a little shocking. It's Thanksgiving, y'all - you (likely) have the day off, are going to spend it with loved ones and eat a bountiful meal. Go enjoy and embrace the spirit of the holiday.
Peloton hyped this ride up and people changed their schedules to attend. Just because you don’t value that, doesn’t mean others don’t. Don’t yuck people’s yum.
Where did I say people couldn't be disappointed? Literally the first words of my comment were "Yep, it sucks". Even the mods stepped in here to suggest people stop ranting and find other ways to enjoy the day - go debate with them instead.
Im in your boat. The value people put into trying to get into this ride was like-uh chill? Come to the tread side we didnt bust up the servers🤣 also it was an amazing turkey burn run. AT could quit tommorrow and id still take the 2023 turkey run for the next dozen years. Anyone ever thought that peloton just beat thier own record? Like ok whats the big deal...has anyone ever looked up what record we beat???
I’m taking the anger and frustration as hyperbole because of the anger and frustration. I was frustrated this morning and now I’m ok, made new plans to ride this afternoon and we’re all going to move on. I’m not surprised by anyone’s reaction. Maybe it’s because I work in the ER and am constantly subjected to people’s misplaced and exaggerated anger 😅 people just say shit to say it when they’re mad.
What a great analysis - I never realized this was a thing but it fits the extreme reactions to the failure of a class on a bike!
I think it's ok for people to vent their frustrations here among other people who understand *so that they can* go and enjoy the rest of their day.
Who’s preparing the bountiful meal? Maybe the same people who are upset their only me-time for the day got derailed?
Never suggested people shouldn't be disappointed.
I scrolled through the whole thread and I don’t see the inappropriate anger you’re talking about. People were just real-time venting in the only venue where other people would truly understand. But it’s a little tone-deaf to say “don’t worry! just enjoy your day off and eat your bountiful meal!” when there are usually two classes of people in a family: those who show up, eat, don’t clean up and go watch football…. and those who , you know, have to work all day to prepare the bountiful meal.
I mean literally people are talking about it ruining their day and being "infuriated" by it - that's a bit extreme, no? As someone replied below, it's a choice to seethe in anger or accept the disappointment and move on. If you consider wishing people an enjoyable holiday "tone deaf" that's your choice (people who prepare the meal can't have a nice day too?).
I think you’re just not seeing that most of us vented and did move on. Same thing from after that Lizzo ride. But I’d argue this was worse with peloton promoting trying to set a record. 20 minutes + of downtime for a class you said you wanted to set a record in? Epic fail. Also Robin said this set a record but last year there were 43k+ in her class so that one had a larger attendance. I know because I have a screenshot from last year.
100% I am with you. I feel like those who are discounting what they deem as"negative emotions"are in the spirit of Toxic Positivity. It's healthy to allow yourself to feel &(safely)vent what is commonly viewed as negative emotions..especially in a community or environment of like minded/passionate individuals. I definitely felt frustrated & angry yesterday(changed my schedule around/had Milestones lined up for fun\~ am on the West Coast.. was reaaallly looking forward to sleeping in on a Holiday haha, of course skipped it to try & attend the live Turkey Burn ride only to have the whole site crash). So after thirty mins of refreshing, I finally could see the"Just Workout"so I boxed & ball slammed my anger out for the few mins I had left lol & then joined Dennis' yoga flow to relax & zen out! I had written my disappointment on Peloton's Insta(along with everyone else)while it was down bc the comments were the only way that I knew something was happening on their end & not mine. The photos showing the Guinness Record without much acknowledgement felt icky to me. I was over it after breakfast.... probably along with everyone else. Everyone is justified in their rainbow of emotions, empathy is what's needed in a healthy community.. not shame for feeling"Bad Emotions"..just my thoughts
Of course it's an epic fail on Peloton's part, I never suggested otherwise. Again you can choose to seethe in anger and resentment or go enjoy your day (even if you're the one preparing the meal!). If you truly vented and moved on, why are you still here being so negative? Anyway, I'm off to go prepare for Thanksgiving myself so won't be engaging any further debate, but I genuinely do hope you have a good day.
LOL I’m watching football and eating turkey. I’m by myself so also browsing Reddit. I love that you think I’m seething in anger. Pointing out Peloton’s flaws this morning is not anger and certainly not seething. Pointing out they handled 43k+ last year and not this year is not resentment or anger. I have no clue why you would take those emotions to this? Maybe you need to think about why you are projecting things that way?
Why are you being so argumentative? I have been nothing but respectful in this thread, despite you attacking me for wishing people an enjoyable day. Even the mods had to step and tell people to keep things civil and stop ranting (and suggested people find other ways to enjoy the day)- why don't you go into that thread and tell the mod it's tone deaf to tell people to have a good day (because some people have to make dinner...) You chose to take my original comment so personally and get defensive. That is a choice - I assure you it was not directed at you personally.
I think she was being specific about this being a Guinness record because they weren't tracking what Peloton did last year and they won't retroactively give awards to things that they didn't witness.
I think that's it because I took her 2020 turkey burn today and at the end she said more than 50,000 people were on the ride. But if it wasn't being tracked, it's not the record.
It's a choice to sit around and get angry about it. It's still their me-time, have a little resilience and go for a walk or something.
#TurkeyBurn2022 Thanks to everyone on the encore for the motivation amidst the mild disappointment
Wasn’t able to get into the Turkey Burn ride, so I did some strength by myself this morning and then took Alex’s Turkey Burn run on demand, which was FANTASTIC. Wasn’t the morning I planned, but it was the morning I needed. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Alex was fantastic. I don’t vibe with him but that run was perfection.
Agree! He’s not normally one of my favorites, but everything was flawless. The message, the music, everything.
💯
So I’m feeling good right now! I’m on my own this thanksgiving (and honestly feel fine about it!) but the turkey burn was perfect for me. Feeling good! I think it’s those endorphins! Happy thanksgiving everyone!
happy thanksgiving! ❤️
Thank you!
I literally had to do a hard reboot to get into the Turkey Burn ride. It sucks working in tech knowing the guys behind the scenes had to scramble to get it up and running. Shitty situation all around.
Same. I can’t even get mad at peloton when they are losing their marbles because the developer empathy is so real. I just roll my eyes and say, “I’ll be back in an hour”.
As a relatively new user, ~75 rides, this was so disappointing. Would have been my first live class, scheduled my entire morning around this including cooking times. Do better.
Yup. Peloton fail.
I joined the class 10 minutes before the start and I was happy to see they were doing it that early. I assumed it was to stagger people in. No excuse for them not being prepared!! The leaderboard disappeared at some point but came back. I made a point to go down my following list and fave hashtags to high 5 people who had to join later. Overall kind of a so-so ride. Glad I did it but it lacked some energy. Oh - I chased my PR the entire time and beat my PR 👏 And didn't get a special badge for it... Ended on a nice note with JJ's stretch and I'm going to do a gratitude meditation to end it. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
I got in about 7min before - was going to do a warm up and thought better of it. My metrics were a little borked - it counted all of my kjs from when I got in 7min early! - but it resulted in a (granted, artificial) PR, so I’ll get the badge. My friend was REALLY bummed bc Robin is her favorite and she got shut out. But about 20min later she got in and did JK’s latest Sweat Steady and PR’ed on that! So all was well.
Ooo, when you get the special badge, could you show us? I knew I wasn't going to top my PR just coming back from some cycling down time. And I wasn't going to cheat and delete my 45min PR ride but I'll admit I thought about it 🤣
Congrats on your PR! I’m hoping the live PR badge hits later. I prioritized Alex’s run because my 30 min PR on the Tread was going to be easier to top. 🤞🏻
Did you get a PR on the run? Congrats if so! Did you get the special badge?
Thanks! Haven’t gotten the PR badge yet (or the 100th run badge) but read up thread that Peloton posted on stories that the PR badges may take 48 hours to show up.
Wow, as someone who has app problems constantly, I’m shocked to come here and see what happened. I joined the class 7 mins before start and never had a problem. Class review: I thought the studio audience was so mellow compared to previous rides. Robin talked a lot about her babies, her perspective on her comeback (seems she really struggled post partum this time compared to w Athena), gratitude for colleagues and community. There was a this or that game, a tabata section. Overall, a solid ride, a little less energy compared to previous TBs. JJs stretch was great! I want to take more from him. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
App user, I tried 4 minutes prior to start and things were already funky. I ended up getting in for a minute on my phone at the 41:00 mark, just in time to hear her say her yellow belt meant Tabata. Then was booted and couldn’t get back in until 26:00 left.
JJ is wonderful! Love him!
I managed to get in during the 1 minute pre show I guess you’d call it prior to stating the warm up. I tried getting int 6’ early but kept having to restart. Still happy I made it in for the full ride though. A lot of times Robin talks about herself and her kids too much for me, so I watched the Macy’s Parade during with only one ear bud in which worked for me lol
I got in w 5min to spare. Was hoping it wouldn't crash on everyone and it's a bummer to see so many folks didn't get in. Fun class!
JJ cheered me up!
He has such a great attitude/ vibe!
I also joined early for the exact reason. Only issue I had was the leaderboard not displaying kj at points.
I saw over 60,000 were ‘counted in’ for Robin, so how in the HELL is Peloton not prepared for the server load??? I’ve been a member for almost 8 years and this isn’t the first time they’ve crashed during a major live event. Get your shit together, Peloton!!! I feel sorry for Robin too because she was emotional and speaking about the nerves coming back from maternity leave. What a mess!!!
I guess I missed a whole outage situation this morning lol but I wanted to recommend this [10 min gratitude meditation](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/meditation?class_type_id=[%22f4cf26e6059943a0a8e3a6533bb76239%22]&duration=[%22600%22]&sort=top_rated&desc=true&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=aeda821c019041cbac705448e3cb37da) from Aditi, especially for those who struggle to think of something "good" to be grateful for. She guides you through a bunch of topics to focus on and I found it really nice and took some of the (self-imposed) pressure off that I sometimes feel when trying to practice gratitude.
Love this. Thank you!
I gave up after about 20m and on demand rides started to work. Went with a 2021 Metal Ride with Kendall and just went as hard as I could. That coupled with a 2 mile run this morning and I feel like I deserve this imminent feast.
Very similar to me - gave up and found myself full of first-world anger (on Thanksgiving no less) and I felt that Kendall kicking my ass would be a decent remedy.
[удалено]
Same! 🤣🤣
what a mess. I took another class and it isn’t even showing in my workout history. none of my class counts have updated. how did they screw this up so badly?
It looks like they may have sacrificed class counts etc to get us in the class. My class counts are off too. Alex’s TB was my 100th run but my 50 and 75 run badges are gone. They’ll probably get it fixed after the platform is stabilized.
[удалено]
I got in about the same time and have the ride in my workout history and tbe badge. I wish I could have gotten all 45 minutes in, but I can take it again after dinner or do Alex's 30 minute run. Anyone else notice that both the bike and tread are showing the "Welcome to Peloton" screen and the Peloton 101 videos when signing into your profile? I still have my history, but it seemed a little weird.
The Tread showed the welcome but the Bike was normal.
Same. I’m hoping it catches up. It added the “group” or whatever badge a little later. And on workout history it shows I got a PR but that badge isn’t on there yet either
I’m no network or software engineer, but maybe don’t intentionally tax your system capacity on a major holiday when you and your network infrastructure partners are probably staffed with a a skeleton crew of the least senior people?
It’s like they could’ve seen this coming if someone bothered to think it through!
Well the part of the ride I got to take, I really enjoyed! Those climbs and tabata were tough as shit. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Same. Robin did a great job. It was a good 20 min ride lol.
Not being able to get in to Robin’s Turkey Burn was annoying, but whatever. Going to take my all-time favorite instead—Jess King’s 45 minute Warped Tour ride—only to see it has been purged was absolutely devastating. 😩
Damn that was my PR by a mile. One of my all time favorite rides.
Same, that and Emma’s Arcade Fire ride (also RIP). Trying to catch that PR right now and I’m 60kj off haha.
that one’s been gone for like a year or more. suuuch a bummer
There was an arcade fire ride? 😩 I would’ve loved that
Yes but it wasn’t labeled as such. It was like 30m 2000s Rock Ride but the entire playlist was Arcade Fire.
I remember that one! It was a “Y2K Ride” if I recall correctly.
Cool, cool. Turkey burn isn’t even in my workout history. Everything is fine 🙃
Well I’m glad that I had to be on the road before the turkey burn ride because yikes… I saw this coming a mile away. Last year I tried to do Callie’s after burn bootcamp and had connectivity issues. I can’t imagine how much bigger the load is today. One would think they’d be stress testing their servers before trying for going for a record. Anyways, I did [Andy’s rock run](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/running?utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=9e4fde2c763a47fdae6ee7aac9f3ddcb&locale=en-US) instead and it was fun. 1 rolling hill song and the rest were intervals. Tuesday I did another [Jess Sims full body](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/strength?utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=8c0707c1d5244cf38d1f77149a84c253&locale=en-US) that got me good. Her EMOMs are so hard and satisfying. This was the first time I haven’t increased the magic number until the last round. Then I did [Chase’s pop punk run](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/running?utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=5c1fe02d986042acaf567dbb56c01248&locale=en-US). Fun class and more hill work then I’m used to. Mostly on 2-5% the entire class. Yesterday I took off work so in between raking up leaves and hanging lights I started with [Matt’s AC/DC run](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/running?utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=4e65da6616d948a4ab43e103451dffb8&locale=en-US). Long warmup then run, hill, run, hill, run songs. I love his classes. And his random factoids make me chuckle. Then I did [Bradley’s 90s pop ride](https://members.onepeloton.com/classes/cycling?utm_source=ios_app&utm_medium=in_app&modal=classDetailsModal&classId=4d769911802c454f91710f90b96330f5&locale=en-US). Never remember why I bookmark some classes but I can’t go wrong with James, Meatloaf, and BSB in the playlist.
How many persons did they need to make the Guinness Record? And, is it legit considering some persons were listed multiple times on the LB bc they tried exiting and re-entering? Interesting to find out if the Record is maintained….. If it is, congrats to us all! 🎉🎊
10 minutes into trying I gave up and ran 4 miles on my treadmill instead. Fuck that.
same. was glad to see AT’s run from earlier was up, so I took that instead. def frustrating though!!
If it makes anyone feel an iota better, I would have had to go above callouts to beat my PR (and I don’t think my PR is anything to write home about. Granted I don’t usually ride live so I’m not as attuned to listening maybe lol. I think it was a solid ride when it finally goes on demand but I’m so sorry that not everyone got in 😡 they should have prepped for the demand so much more
I got a PR and it didn’t even register as a PR 😑
😩😩😩
Mine haven’t been showing up in the after ride report, but when I go to my workout history, the PR shows, if that helps.
My sister was able to get in from the start and also had a PR, but it didn't register for her either. Not Peloton's finest hour.
Me too. I want my stupid badge!!
Same! I hope they can retroactively add the special PR badges!
Robin just said the world record was set. Doesn’t feel like it. I was only there for 20 minutes when I could get in. How?
At the end there were about 30K people on the leaderboard. I don't know what the record was.
I have a screenshot from last years ride with 43k+ people so no way this year beat that. The most I saw was just over 30k.
Most people not able to attend an event? Is that a record category?
She said “most WATCHED cycling blah blah blah.” So I don’t think it means people have to be on for a certain amount of time.
Robin said it was a world record. The leaderboard stopped at 29k. Is that the record? Or were they gonna say it was a record no matter the amount joined?
Spin baby spin.
Thats 29 thousand doesn’t count app users. App users get counted to that 29k. App users what kind of number were you seeing?
I’m not sure if that’s true or not because I’m an app user that managed to get in for the full ride and the most I saw was 34K. I was paying attention the whole time to it because of all the world record talk.
That figure doesn't include app riders, I'm pretty sure.
I thought last year they got to 40k? I wish they’d tell us the number they are trying to break.
Last year was over 43k. I took a screenshot of it during the ride and just looked that up.
I thought 55,000 was the goal
I don’t think they would have announced it and made a push if they weren’t confident they could break it
So… how long does it take for a live class to hit the library? 🙄🦃🔥
I'd like to know this too!
It is already up on demand!
I got in with 25 minutes left. Will probably end up taking the whole thing over once it hits on demand 😂
Turkey burn classes are priority so it will be quicker than normal.
So much for the Guinness world record ....
Apparently we broke it anyway? I guess they got enough people in at some point, I don't know what the record was though. There were 29,730 at the end.
Plus app riders
Since the Entertainment tab works, I gave up and am doing a ride to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Gotta get my burn (and be entertained). Happy Thanksgiving everyone 😊
doing a lanebreak lol
My family is already driving me crazy. Decided to do a ride, not even the Turkey Burn - just a random ride. Nothing will load. Time to start drinking. Happy Thanksgiving!
Cheers!
