14:25 🩰 Barre class is a workout technique inspired by elements of ballet, yoga, and Pilates. It focuses on low-impact, high-intensity movements designed to strengthen your body in ways that few other workouts can 😊
I was a member of my local Pure Barre studio for about half a year. Not sure how similar Pure Barre is to the Peloton barre classes. In any case, what made me initially love the barre-style workout, is how FUN it is. All motions are in time to high-energy music, and you use resistance bands + small weights to really push your muscles to exhaustion. It's absolutely a full-body workout that flies by (unlike yoga, which I find incredibly dull), and it always left me collapsed on my mat at the end, feeling GREAT. I particularly like the way my legs felt afterward; the Pure Barre exercises involve a lot of squatting and chair motions, especially on your tiptoes, which just makes your legs feel long and strong. I ended up gaining noticeable muscle in my shoulders and legs. Ultimately though, I left Pure Barre because I wanted to save some cash, and also because I thought the workouts spent too much time on the butt muscles (and not quite enough on the chest). Oh, and I felt super weird being the only guy in my studio.
@@thomashorwath7148 thanks for the info. I’ve never tried the Peloton Barre classes - although the repetition may fatigue my leg as (I have MS). I like the idea of stronger legs so I might just give it a go 😊
Thanks very much for both these tips and the bike tips, just found your channel. Our bike is on its way. Your note about being 40+ and the "niggly bits" was great. Being 50+ I have that too and I was specifically hoping these classes would help. Your comment about the quality of the coaching has me quite excited to no longer having those niggly aches and pains due to better fitness. PS Maybe they should use the old set with a Saturday Night Live/ Disco soundtrack!
peloton is amazing, I use the running, cycling and strength workouts, and for $12.99, it's an absolute steal. If you're doing 4 workouts a week, which is about where I am at currently, it's less than a dollar per session, that's an insane value. Looking to branch into their pilates and boxing sessions eventually.
Great video! I began doing Peloton bike classes during Covid for cardio , but continued working with my long-time personal trainer -- at home, instead of the gym -- for strength training. But I'm starting to get "tight" like you and want to find a good way to shift over to doing everything myself at home to save money. Your video gives me the confidence to think using the Peloton app for strength training will be body effective as well as cost effective. Many thanks for doing this!
I’m super excited!! Our peloton bike comes in this week. Stumbled upon your videos, love what I see so far. I do have a question. Can this be streamed on a smart TV or would I still need a fire stick? Thank you in advance!!
Great video!! Super informative and non bias. I'm new to the Peloton game and in the process of setting up a Peloton workout area in my house. Can you share any info on the wood ribbed wall paneling the TV is affixed to? I'm trying to copy the aesthetic!
How much is the monthly subscription? Think I missed this in the video. Would you recommend this over Apple Fitness+? As I have a Garmin Fenix 5 but everything else Apple, and really don’t want to get another device to work out, but Garmin don’t do their own service like these (that would be awesome). Find the Apple Watch a tad gimmicky and that Garmin products offer more in-depth stats and can be used for longer durations and for more extreme sports. So would you recommend this over the apple fitness classes?
Another great vid. So my peloton bike plus came and I’m loving it. My question is in regards to the strength programs. Right now weights are crazy. A rack, bench, dumbbells and and plates could cost ya 3-4K here in Canada easy. Just wondering what you would suggest as “required” equipment for getting through the peloton strength programs. Thanks as always 😀
Prices are crazy for weights! Some of my hex Dumbbells are 4X the price I paid for them 12-18 months ago. Try MiraFit for good value ones. You won’t need a bench for strength, just a mat. The weights I use with the app are about 25% lighter than the ones I would use normally as they are very good at getting. aburn with less weight. You could also look at bands and bodyweight strength until they come down a bit. The good news is that good dumbbells will probably last longer than we will, haha!
@@SteveJulien thanks Steve. A set of 2.5-50 dumbbells (2 per) with rack is about 1100 here. A 5-90 adjustable set is about 999. Ive heard the adjustables can be flakey so a hexagon set is prolly the way I will go. I thought about resistance bands just wasn’t sure if the instructors used those or if it’s all just interchangeable. Thanks as always. Stay safe and keep that great content coming.
Order done and delivery is set for mid Nov but we can’t change the delivery date as I’m assuming it’s being done by a 3rd party. Do you have your own group setup on Peloton?
I’ve just picked up the bike, well a month ago, and absolutely love it! Just ordered adjustable dumbbells for my partner and I to work with, range from 3.5kg to 13kg - you mentioned about lighter weights, would you say this range will be sufficient?
Is there a separate cost for using this feature or can you use your existing subscription that you have with the bike? I do not own a Peleton bike yet, but I'm looking into purchasing one.
Could you do a review of the Peloton App on Sky? I’m moving house and will need to move to Sky, interested whether to go multiroom for the home gym or just go Apple TV 👏
I’ll have a look, will be a while though. I had a little look at the Sky Q app but found myself quickly loading up the Peloton app on my Apple TV. First impressions are that Apple is slicker but I haven’t really got far in to the Sky Q one and it was release day so maybe some bugs.
I'm loving the Peloton strength classes! Great addition to the bike rides.
I’ve been doing the Guide Strength training for 2 months and I’m already seeing results. I love it so much!
Really like your commentary, great intro for us to Peloton as newbies, thank you
Love your style wit and humour Steve ! I just need my girls to embrace the Peloton and follow you too !!

I want to try the barre classes once my bike is delivered. I used to take ballet so I miss it a lot.
@@lubnan08 why wait until bike delivery❓You can login and use the app now to do all the strength, etc workouts.
@@lubnan08 You don't have to wait, you have access to the app for free until your bike arrives ;)

Terrific video. Definitely going to do some of these classes.
I love your Peloton Vlogs! I started watching it and it made me do a workout, feel revved up for the day now, thanks!
Excellent!

Thanks! Glad it’s helped.
You are looking really fit, can see you are working out hard
left a like b/c you seem like such a nice person
Love your content! I just purchased the Peloton Bike+ after watching your videos! Thank you! I hope I’ll like it.
Thanks!
You WILL love it!

You can stream to a smart tv or many have the app.
Enjoy!

Thanks! The panels are from here: www.thewoodveneerhub.co.uk
Another amazing review, thank you. What are those weights you've got?
Just Hex weights, Mirafit have them at a good price. They have gone up ALOT lately.
The studio is proper random it’s got the TV am vibe I prefer the old style where they’re by the side of the treads. Great video tho
You’re right! 😂. Thanks! Have. A great weekend.

Love these videos, what weight sets do you use?

Good choice!
Does your Apple Watch connect to the tv?
Great video as usual Steve. Quick question, why don’t you just cast it from the bike or tread instead of using the Apple TV or fire stick?
Good question, I just find it 100% reliable and the picture quality is much better. I also do Apple Fitness workouts and they are in 4K.
@@SteveJulien Are you going to compare the Strength classes with Apple Fitness? ps. Your videos are superb, thanks!
Thanks!
Yes Apple Fitness Strength video all filmed and will come out June 25th.
hi how many different weights do i need to do the strength training properly? thank you for your reponse
I would start with what you would normally bicep curl, tricep curl and shoulder press.
I normally just use 3-4 different weights. You won’t need many.
Is there a separate cost for using this feature or can you use your existing subscription that you have with the bike?
I do not own a Peleton bike yet, but I'm looking into purchasing one.
No, your 39 a month covers everything. (Or the app is 12.99 without the bike)
@@SteveJulien Thank you for the prompt response, Steve.
This is very much appreciated.
I'm now debating between the Peleton and the ProForm bike 🚴.
Is there a way to turn the music volume down or off?
I don’t think so. It’s sometimes too loud to hear the instructors. 🙄
Great video but I believe the Peloton app is on Sky in the UK
You're right! I filmed it just before it was launched.
@@SteveJulien it always happens that way
I don't love weight lifting. I prefer classes using body weight. Do you have suggestions?
Just filter to 'bodyweight' and also look at Barre and Pilates.
Could you do a review of the Peloton App on Sky? I’m moving house and will need to move to Sky, interested whether to go multiroom for the home gym or just go Apple TV 👏
I’ll have a look, will be a while though.
I had a little look at the Sky Q app but found myself quickly loading up the Peloton app on my Apple TV.
First impressions are that Apple is slicker but I haven’t really got far in to the Sky Q one and it was release day so maybe some bugs.
@@SteveJulien Thank you! I might end up going down the Apple TV route regardless if it's that good!
Get to the chopper lol
80 mbps? Slow!
