As member support for Peloton, thank you so much for this!!!! Lots of people call in with these questions all the time, and it's nice to see them all answered in one! :)
That is great to hear! Awesome feedback from someone that knows all the questions people have about the Peloton! Made my day! 😄 If you ever think of anything that could really use a video to help Peloton users out, let me know!!! Thanks Brenda!
LearnWithTravis No problem! If you or anyone here ever have any questions feel free to let me know!
I love your videos. By far the best peloton videos on UA-cam. Thank you.
Thank you Chani! Made my day! 😃
Baller videos! Bike arriving 1/22. Joined the FB group and I travel to NYC for work so doing a live class next week. Thanks for all the help.
Thanks man! No problem! Glad to help. Enjoy the live ride!
First tip, the freebie, spot on. Just reading the flaming, albeit hysterical, proves you point.
Thank you for the videos. I have watched them multiple times. They are a great resource. After a month of research and weighing my options, I finally pulled the lever purchased a bike today. I also used your referral code. Thank You!
Awesome! So glad my videos were helpful and thank you for using the referral code! Enjoy the bike!!! 😁
@@Learnwithtravis I can't seem to find the referral code on here?

This was a very helpful and enjoyable video. You are a natural. Thanks for the help.
Thank you so much Walter! I really really appreciate that and glad the video helped!
Regarding 15, you can adjust the tension in the pedal clips. It will make getting out of the pedals easier. There is a hex screw on the pedals.
You are so right! My husband adjusted my right pedal but not my left so I almost broke my ankle trying to get out of my clips!
Thank you for the video. It was very helpful.
Glad to hear! And thank you!
Great overview Travis - Thanks!
No problem at all! Thank you!
Lots of pedal squeak out of saddle with Peloton original shoes and clips. I bought the Delta cleats recommended here, and goodbye squeaks! So much nicer! Thanks, Travis!
Glad to help and glad it worked! It is a big difference!
I found this so useful - thank you.
Great to hear Sarah! Thanks!
Thank you so much. This made so much more sense!
No problem at all! Glad to hear it helped you out!!
Great video! Can’t wait for my bike to come on Monday!
So awesome! I am sure you will love it! Go get it! 😃
The Book Charmer how are you liking your bike?! I just ordered mine today! Crazy excited.
To help with clipping out easier there is an adjustment screw on the back of the pedal to take tension off of the pedal or add tension
Thanks Gmoney! That is correct. I have since made a video with more details on clipping and unclipping as well: ua-cam.com/video/99A-A4JJ6bE/v-deo.html
Great Video Travis!
Thanks Jack!
Very helpful video thank you !
No problem! Glad to hear it helped you out! 😄
Thanks for the info!!!
Sure thing!
Great Job!
Thank you!!!
Thx dude I just ordered a Paleton, excited 😁!
Awesome! I hope you love it! Such a great workout and has so much content to keep things interesting. Hope it comes in soon!
@@Learnwithtravis says delivery in January. Super psyched to burn calories. I actually looking forward to scenic rides. Being cooped up at home and work, I want to explore the world.

Padded capris definitely are the way to go!
I know a lot of people have stated they are a must. :)
Yes, I love them!
very informative.
Thanks Nancy!
Thanks for the video and info. Question on heart monitor. How do you know it is working? I am wearing it and see device flash but do not see anything on the monitor relating to it. Thanks
I posted another video that does show what it looks like on the screen if you want to see it. I will link it at the end. Before you start a ride, the screen where heart rate monitor and headphones connectivity pops up. You want to make sure the heart rate monitor is connected before you start the ride. Which model heart rate monitor did you get?

🙋🏼♀️ oh wait let me put my hand down, answered all my questions. Thank you 🙌
Haha! Love it! Glad the video helped Katalina!
This guy is hysterical. The nuances are phenomenal, great job.
Haha. Thank you! I really appreciate that!
Hey Travis, great video, really helped when considering a purchase. Any chance of a referral code ??? The one below in this thread does not seem to work ?
Good to hear! This referral code should work! 8PT6X7
21. Power Zone training is what Peloton was made for.
Haha! There you go! (I don't know if they had those when I made that video... you went way back!)
Hi , can you do a detailed correct seat arm position along with handlebar distance and finally, which position on the shoes should the cleats be secured at? Sian
I will add it to the list of video ideas! Thanks for the idea!
Used your code! Thanks :)
Thanks! Enjoy the bike!!!
@4:46 all indoor cycling bikes pedals and road / mountain bike pedals require a occasional lubrication. You do not need new cleats for your shoes.
It's much easier to simply lubricate your pedals then wipe them down. Replacing the shoe cleat and aligning the shoe cleat is a somewhat complicated and arduous task..
Don't turn simple task into a a project unnecessarily.
Note: issues like this are apart of becoming an experienced cyclist - either indoor cyclist or outdoor cyclist. There's always something to learn it's just the way it is.
Thanks for the video. Super informative. I purchased an used bike that I’ve been using for about two months, and I want to make sure settings are correct; reason being: seems to me that when instructor tells me to set bike at, say, 30 resistance, instructor seems to be working a lot harder then me. I’m definitely not in great shape, so Im thinking the bike is out of calibration? Any suggestions on how to check bike is set correctly?
Thanks! Generally they refer to resistance 30 as flat road. Meaning you are only starting to feel light resistance and it is really not that hard, but you can feel it a little. So, based on what you said, I am thinking you are setup correctly. The instructors are probably just being "high energy". If you don't feel it is correct, reach out to Peloton and they can tell you how to calibrate it correctly.
Hii! I just found your channel and I love your videos! I'm seriously considering getting a bike but do you need to have wireless headphones? And if so can they be any bluetooth headphones?
Hi and thank you so much! You don’t need headphones at all. The tablet/screen has speakers built in that do a pretty good job. Most get headphones if they want to amp up the sound quality or be able to jam out without making noise for others. And you are right on, most bluetooth headphones should pair and work just fine!
@@Learnwithtravis thank you! ☺️☺️
The cleats are LOOK compatible.. 👍🏻
Can I use my SPD or Crank Brother peddles off my Road Bike/Mountain Bike? Not sure I’ve seen that question asked.
I know a lot of people have replaced the pedals and it has worked great for them. I don't know all of the details because I have not replaced anything, but know it has been done. Anything above that, I would use the Peloton chat support. They are pretty good.
Can you make a video on how to calibrate? Thanks!
I have to learn how first! Let me see what I can come up with. Thanks for the request!
Does the peleton have a prop 65 CA warning? I know the Sunnys bikes have them. Thanks
I have no idea on that one. Peloton chat is good if you would like to get an answer. If you do, let us know what they say! 😁
Does the bike change resistance automatically like cheap smart trainers without having to turn a red dial? Is it better than cheaper products such as the Wahoo Kickr Elite Drivo or Tacx Neo? Can I peloton on my widescreen tv? At $15 a month! Is Zwift a rip off??
No, you select resistance manually. This way if you can’t keep up you can lower resistance and keep going. You can cast to lots of devices (roku, fire stick). I don’t think zwift is a rip off. Different option that has a different purpose. People seem to like it so I have nothing bad to say about zwift .
Great video. What about servicing of the bike? Should you tighten any screws every so often or have a specialist give it an annual maintenance service?
Thanks John! I would default to what Peloton recommends but generally most conversations only include keeping it clean. Wiping it down after working out and giving it a clean here and there. The worry is mineral buildup from frequent sweat exposure could eventually cause problems.
Is there a way to make clipping out easier?? It is hurting my ankle. Sometimes I can’t clip out at all and have to manually take my foot out of the shoe.
Video: ua-cam.com/video/99A-A4JJ6bE/v-deo.html
You can also consider replacing your cleat to the following: amzn.to/2w8Xo9d
To me, they seem to slide in and out a little easier so that might help.
I just got my Peleton and I have noise coming from the wheel when I start to pedal. It is pretty loud, why? It was delivered on August 1, 2020. Thanks.
I would reach out to Peloton support on that one. Problems are rare, but they are good about fixing issues like this.
Very informative ❣️ thanks
You’re welcome and no problem! 😁
Hi there, so my Peloton bike arrived yesterday woohoo!!! I actually found the 20 min beginner class quite tough lol (and I like to think I'm fit), I ski, I run.... Is there any plan or classes you would recommend for the spin beginner, thank you.
First, even the beginning rides can be tough so that is normal. You will be amazed at how quick you get stronger if you keep at it. As far as classes I recommend, I only recommend doing a few beginning rides first to learn form, movement, and position. After that, it really is a matter of trying things to find instructors you like and ride types you like. Everyone is so different when it comes to this that there is no easy answer. Part of the fun of it though, figuring out what you do and don't like and realizing how much variety there is! Enjoy and congrats!
@@Learnwithtravis Marvelous!
Do we really need a mat, if setting up in our garage? Or is it just to protect floors?
I would try without first and see how it goes. The peloton has levelers so I am guessing you will be good. The only thing the mat may provide is a tiny bit of absorption of your movement when riding hard. If you think that is a problem buy it then but I would try without first. I don’t use a mat but I do have mine on a rubber gym floor...
The clips can cause you to slip on a smooth floor. If you are concerned at all about a fall, a mat or rug might be a good idea.
I have ridden a Peloton before but have used the cages. I received my Peloton two weeks ago and I am having the most frustrating experience because I cannot clip in both feet. I can only clip in my dominant foot and cannot clip out. I know that there is nothing wrong because my husband can do it with no trouble. Could this be a strength issue. We have lessened the tension but are afraid to lessen it too much as various videos tell us we can damage the petals. Any advice?
Sorry it is giving you problems! Try checking out the video below and see if that helps. You are right about being careful to loosen too much as it will damage the pedal and considering you have an example of someone else working fine, I would not adjust more. Something to consider might be getting the improved cleats (amzn.to/2w8Xo9d). I feel they slide in and out a little better. Make sure your cleat is all the way forward and pointed forward, push down on the red resistance knob to stop pedal movement, and push straight down with your heel. Try to make sure you are not twisting or turning your foot. I hope that helps!
ua-cam.com/video/99A-A4JJ6bE/v-deo.html
I also cannot clip into my Peloton. I’m about to scream from frustration ☹️ I had to exchange the shoes that the delivery guys brought bc they didn’t fit, and when I got the new shoes, the cleats were not installed. I had to install them myself and I don’t think I did it wrong, but I cannot for the life of me clip in (and I’ve used spin shoes before). I’m at a loss as to what to do.
Just got my Peloton, and did my first ride. It was hard but I really enjoyed it. Had a really hard time clicking in and my wife was only able to click in one leg. Kind of bit disappointed that she could not experience it. But I feel like I am hooked. I feel like Peloton could have done a better job explaining the shoes and the clicking in and out part. I am guessing it gets better hopefully! Not really a huge fan of shoes it took me forever getting into the shoes and I am probably going to exchange mine for a bigger size.
Glad you are enjoying it! Keep on going and hope your wife is able to figure it out! Check out this video... may help - ua-cam.com/video/99A-A4JJ6bE/v-deo.html
Hi Travis, I really enjoy your site. my peloton arrived a little over a month ago I have 32 rides completed. is there a way to see your title miles put on the bike since day one?
Thanks David! I tried to find a way to see this a little while ago and could not find it. I checked the website and Peloton. Seems like there has to be a way but I did not find it.
Hi Travis. Your videos on the Peloton and the alternatives to Peloton (Schwinn, Echelon, etc.0 were very helpful in making my mind up, and I'm ready to buy it. However, all the codes you have referred to in the comments section seem to have maxed out. By any chance would you have one that still works? Thanks for everything.
I found one in the threads below that I was able to use. Thanks for your videos!
Great! Glad to hear the videos helped you out. Hope it comes in soon and you love it!
How should i adjust the bike? Can't ever find anything on this. Put the seat in a, b or c for 5'11?
On the Peloton screen, click the 3 dots in the bottom right corner. Then click Peloton 101. From there, it will show various videos advising how to properly adjust your bike. I also found this: cadence.pelotoncycle.com/bike-set-up/
Hope that helps!
Thanks
is it possible to use the code retroactively - i didnt realize it had to be used at the time - i thought it was when the bike arrived doh
Give them a call. Don't quote me, but I believe I have heard of them still giving the discount after if you explain how the mistake was made. Might depend on how long it has been...
Can you use an external heart rate monitor, like a Garmin?
Sure can. One thing I have noticed is a lot of people voice concerns about the Peloton HRM. External options do work. The big thing is it needs to be ANT+ compatible. I did a little looking on forums and people really love the Scosche. Garmin has a pretty big following as well. Linked below are the top 3 I could find referenced if that helps.
- Scosche RHYTHM+ - amzn.to/2rjyS33
- Garmin Chest Strap - amzn.to/2zIPhCP
- Garmin Fenix 5 - amzn.to/2PiZz1w (Other ANT+ models exist. Just make sure about ANT+)
Good Luck!
2nd question, sorry, but thanks for responding previously - If on carpet, is having a mat going to be acceptable or should i put some plywood under it and mat on top it. Thanks!
No problem! Some have gotten away with just a mat and others have needed plywood. I think a lot of factors come into play. How tall\plush is the carpet, how big you are, how high you ride... I will say a lot of people have had to get plywood. Without it, it just does not feel secure and a little too wobbly. I would assume you will need it and hope to get lucky.
Has anyone mentioned the measurements for the plywood?
The bike requires a 2’ x 4’ footprint. Most people get a mat a little larger than that and get plywood cut to match the plywood size. Here is an example at 30” x 72”. amzn.to/2MPWK7J
How come on Question 8 under Roku there is no link and of course this is the one I need?
The Roku is broke into two options below where it says Roku. The stick if you want it to fit neatly behind TV or Ultra, if you want the bells and whistles.

Hi Travis, the 2 codes that are listed in your feed have reached their limit. Do you have a new referral code that I could use. Thanks for your help. Your videos have inspired me to move forward with the purchase. Much Appreciated, Wendy
Great to hear Wendy, hope you love it! Here are a couple to try! N8DY5H or QAT5FH

Hello Travis. Quick question after doing my research on the peloton bike i noticed a lot of owners complain of the ball bearings going after a year or so. Does the warranty and extended warranty cover the ball bearings. TY
Best to contact peloton to know for sure, but I have seen a lot of people mention getting these replaced via warranty. I am 99 percent sure it is covered. The major concern is who does it? A lot of times XPO handles the repair and their skill level seems to vary dramatically.
They do! I have the extended warranty and am in Year 2, bearings are starting to make sounds, called support, shipped out free next week. Just waiting on the installation appointment. 👍
Great video! I got 1 question for u….
I have a peloton @ my apt. gym, I signed up for an acct on the machine to be able to use the classes, is this like a 30 day free trial? and if so…what happens after it expires? Will I have to pay to view classes?
Thank you! Honestly, not sure how you signed up if it was a trial or actual subscription but access to the Peloton software does require a monthly subscription. On the actual Peloton bike, I believe it is 39 a month or so. If you get an alternative bike that can still do Peloton rides (Stryde), you pay for Peloton Digital instead which is a fraction of the cost. I have videos on that option if you want to look into it.
@@Learnwithtravis I see….Thanks so much! I’ll check out your other vids as well 🙂
Thanks for the videos. We too are getting ready to purchase. Can we get a fresh referral code? I tried to use one I saw on here and it says limit was reached.
No problem and great to hear! Try 2R298F one more time as it should work. If not, try T8VGS2.
DU5TSJ or QGH7CP 😀
Additional code: CC9DQU. Hope this helps, let me know if any issues, Tom
@@Learnwithtravis Thanks for the referal code QGH7CP . Since I watched most of your peloton vides and that helped my decision on getting the bike, I figured it was the least I could do.
Thanks Justin! Really appreciate it! Very happy the videos helped you out! Hope you love it!
one thing that no one talks about is how much can u do on it without subscription, whats available without it on the screen
😀 ua-cam.com/video/qeYqTrp7eO4/v-deo.html
The key to doing Peloton or any other Spinning Classes is to control your body. If you have too much movement in your upper body, you either are spinning faster than you can handle, or you are putting too much resistance . Your body shouldn't be swaying all over the place. Learn to build up to it. Also, good position on the bike is a key.
Good points. Another thing I have noticed is people lower the resistance too low in order to try and achieve an extremely high cadence. This causes the upper body to be out of control. You need to have the right amount of resistance to remain in control.
@@Learnwithtravis I road ride a lot and I bring that style to the Spin Class. I see a lot of people exerting too much useless motion when over spinning. My wife and me are thinking about adding the Peloton to are regimen for those days when the weather is bad, or not enough time to make it to the gym. I just started watching your videos, so I am hoping to get as much info from your channel. Thanks
Spinning looks so simple, but there is more to it if you want to do it right! Sounds like if you get the Peloton that you would be able to jump right in! Good luck with your decision!
Did I miss anything? Hope this helps!
Great video. Can you compare Peloton and Zwift? Are these competing products or complementary products?
Thanks! You know, I would say a little bit of both. If you want to train with or just use your existing bike, Zwift looks like a great option. I must admit, my Zwift knowledge is limited, but it looks pretty sweet. The Peloton is more of that all in one solution. Meaning, you set it up and are good to go. No work required. Hit a power button, clip in, select class, and get to work. The Zwift could become a hassle if your bike is not hooked up or you need to go back and forth. To me, it really kinda depends on your goals. Training with\using your existing bike or a home exercise option that is always available. Hope that helps and good luck!
Thanks. Appreciate the response.
They need to be Look Delta, so as long as you have those. If you expand the description, I have links to shoes and cleats that work.
No problem! No, they have to be cycling shoes that can clip in. You can buy cages that accept regular shoes, but then you would have that expense. If you contact Peloton, they can quote you cage prices. Are buying the Peloton or trying to use one you already have access to?
I can't see you referral code. :) Help!

Good morning. Great video, I am 6'8 and ride a 67cm road bike. Wondering if the bike will work for me?
I believe Peloton officially states the max is 6'5". I know I have seen plenty of people say they are 6'6" and have no issues. I did a little looking after I saw your comment I did find one person say they were 6'8" and were able to fit just fine. They did say they make sure the seat post is very tight as they probably have it at max extension.
@@Learnwithtravis Thank you very much for that information. I just scheduled a test ride at a show room in Newport.
No problem and very good idea. If you don’t mind, let me know what you think. That way if I get asked again I have a more thorough answer. 😁
@@Learnwithtravis I went for the test ride this morning at the Newport Beach show room. Like I mentioned I am 6'8 and 255 lbs. The ride went perfect. It was excellent, they even had size 13/1/2 (48) riding shoes. My size was not an issue at all. There was zero pressure to buy. The rep answered all the questions I had and I made the purchase. Sad thing is they said someone would be in touch with me in 48 hrs but it would be 2 -3 weeks for delivery. I can see how this can become very addicting. Thank you for all of your videos and the 20 questions video, they were very helpful to have a baseline when I went in. Now it's a waiting game. :) Thank you again. Very excited...
Wow, sounds like a perfect experience top to bottom. Good to hear. Thank you for the feedback as well. That question gets asked a lot so I will feel much more comfortable giving people an answer now. I know the Peloton has been selling a lot lately and specially with the Black Friday buying. Does not surprise me their is a bit of a wait. Just let the excitement build and then hit it hard! 😄 Glad the videos were helpful! Thank you for the kind words! Congrats and enjoy!!!
you mentioned you have a referral code but I don't see it?
😀 HE7PHW
Can I ask where the referral code is? I can't find it. Really inspired to purchase following your video.
Great to hear! Glad they helped! My code maxed out so I had to remove it, but here is one for you: 7dafur
Hi...do you know if I were to purchase a used Peloton bike and wanted to buy the full membership is that permitted or does Peloton make you purchase the bike from them? Thanks much
I would use the Peloton chat support to verify, because I have not done this. But I am pretty sure this is not a problem at all. You see people buy used Peloton bikes all the time and enjoy it. I am pretty Sure they connected up and used the full Peloton membership.
@@Learnwithtravis OK thanks much!
Does peloton bikes have cage shoe option? We are 5 people will be using one bike. So buying clip shoes for all is not an option.
I am pretty sure they do. I don't think they have them listed anywhere but if you call them, they have options available. If not, you can get aftermarket options.
Where can I find pedal cages for the bike?
😃
amzn.to/2LSVosY
@@Learnwithtravis Thank you so much for the speedy reply!
No problem at all!
My husband and I are looking into getting a bike and we areesning towards a peloton. Do we need to have bike shoes? I dont think this comes with the shoe changes? Also, for referral codes, would we each be able to use one to buy shoes or is it one and done?
The video linked below will probably be your best bet to answer a lot of these questions. You do need bike shoes for the Peloton. They are called look Delta. If you use a referral code you get one pair almost for free. Their are tons of options on Amazon as well. I have some linked in my videos for a pointer too.
ua-cam.com/video/qvk1m2WdnnA/v-deo.html
@@Learnwithtravis thank you so much! Do you have a recent referral code?
@@carlywood7841 Here are some I pulled up. If they don't work, let me know and I will give you a new list.

I have a few more questions that I am surprised were not on the list. 1) When I buy the bike, am I locked into a 3YR $40/month contract? 2) What is the difference between the $40/month membership and the Peloton $12/month membership? 3) Can I use regular shoes on the bike or am I forced to use those clip-in shoes?
For the answers on peloton contracts and financing, I would contact peloton chat. They are very good. I don’t believe you are locked in. I prepaid for one year and then it is up to me to renew after that. The different prices are for digital versus actual bike users. Unfortunately the bike is the higher priced package but still cheaper than most gym memberships. Yes, you need to use clip in shoes unless you replace the pedals which can be done.
@Brett LaGrange The nordictrack offers a much longer warranty (I live in Canada and they only offer 1 year here with no option for an extended warranty... the delivery area is also very limited here). The music on Nordictrack is "modern background music" so they can avoid licencing fees. The peloton classes have actual music it sounds like, and gets rave reviews vs Nordictrack meh reviews re music. The Nordictrack bike is far superior to me for the price (swivel screen, auto resistance, incline and decline that you can override and great outdoor rides... they also throw in weights, mat and heart rate monitor and one year subscription for free) but the content is leading me to Peloton since that's what going to inspire me to actually use it. It's a hard call.
Should I get the extended warranty?
I didn't, but most recommend you do. Considering the cost of the bike and that you don't want something to make it useless, the extended warranty is probably a good move.
Darn...Wish I saw this earlier. Bike came yesterday and I didn't have that code
Darn. You may want to reach out to them and see if they will apply one late. I think I have heard where they did this for others. Not 100 percent sure.
@@Learnwithtravis what is the referral code?? I don't see it on here. Thanks
Try BXOIMK or XQN467. Enjoy!
Where can I locate your referral code? Great video by the way.
Mine filled up but thank you for asking! If you search the Facebook group you will find tons of options. If you can't get any, let me know and I will find a couple!
Pedro, feel free to use mine, been a rider for over 2 years and glad to share! CC9DQU Tom Dimmer - see you on the Leaderboard soon!
@@packerdad Thanks Tom, much appreciated.
I just got my bike today. I wanna get some shoes. I couldn’t fine your referral code.
To get the deal with bike + shoes, I think you need to order that package up front. You might be able to call them and work out something.... Here is my code in case it helps. Good luck! HE7PHW
Not sure if you'll see this...can the pedals be changed for a different kind of clip in shoe?
Yup, people change to spd style or cage setups all the time.
@@Learnwithtravis I actually found your video on that subject minutes after asking that question...lol thank you for answering me! So another question for you, do you prefer Peloton over all the others?😏 Seems like the bike everyone loves, even with some of the problems.
@@AleZ66 Haha, well glad you got the answer. So, two ways to answer your question. 1st - My preferred way... there are a lot of bikes out there that are very high quality. And each offers different advantages. I prefer people get the bike that has the features most exciting and interesting to them which is not always Peloton. So my question to you would be - What type of bike
ide\features do you think would be most interesting to you? 2nd version - The generic answer is probably Peloton. This is because Peloton is probably the best bike that will please the most people without considering anything else. Very high quality bike, amazing content, and even better features with the Bike+. Although, I will say the Velocore is getting into the category as well the more I think about it.
I am out of shape and overweight plus I just quit smoking a month ago. Do you think a peloton would be great for somebody like me to get in shape?
It could be! I usually recommend people get the exercise equipment that seems most existing for them. This way you enjoy it and most likely to keep using it and benefit from it. There are a lot of bikes, rowers, and resistance machines to pick from. But, generally speaking, the Peloton is usually the option that is best for most people trying to get back into exercise and improving their health. So, watch some videos to learn about the different bikes and other options, but there is a good chance the Peloton could be perfect for you.

@@Learnwithtravis thank for the quick reply, I appreciate it.
I actually ordered one this morning.
Why do so many people offer/ask for the referral code rider name? My wife and I are getting our Peloton delivered in four days (SO VERY EXCITED), so I am very new to this community. I don't want to offend anyone but I am very curious as to why this is a "thing".
Haha. I hear ya. First, congrats on getting the bike! Second, it is because the code helps both parties. As the buyer, you get a discount on accessories purchased with the bike, I believe 100 dollars. As the person who gave the code, you get 100 to spend on peloton products. So, in short, you both get free stuff and who doesn’t like that. Which explains why the community is always pushing their codes. 😀
@@Learnwithtravis thank you for that!
How did it workout for you?
Hi Travis! Great videos and super helpful. I need a referral code & the FB group page hasn't accepted my request - I'm not active on FB, maybe they thought I was a bot. Can you share one pls?
Thank you so much and sure thing! Try these and if none work, let me know and I will find more.

Travis, what is your Peleton referral code?
HE7PHW - Thanks Rosey!
I can’t even get the peloton shoes to clip into the pedals. I even took them off and tried. I can’t figure it out! 😡
Toes side of clip in first and then push down with your heel. Their is a screw on the pedal you can loosen. Sometimes it gets to tight and cannot open enough to let the cleat in. I would try those couple of things. Good luck!
LearnWithTravis I did try toe first but I did not loosen the screw on the pedal. Thanks! I will try that.
Same 😩😩😩😩😩
@@Learnwithtravis I will try this!

Tried your referral code and it doesn't work. Any ideas on how to get one that works?
Sorry about that. Here you go! VTXFVN
@@Learnwithtravis Hey! Thanks for the video! It's helped me decide that I want to purchase a Peloton! Your code isn't working again. Can you pm me a new one? Thanks!
Great to hear! I hope you love it! Try this code and let me know if you have any questions! J57KDE
@@Learnwithtravis I tried both codes and they do not work? Can you send me another? I'm getting the family bundle and I should have bought the bike Monday when they had a special! UGH!
Sure thing. Try "ZR9K2W" and if that does not work, try "XRSN95".
I am about to purchase my peloton. Do you have a referral code?
Sure thing. Thanks Jacqui! HE7PHW
Hi! Going to buy the bike today...do you have a referral code I should use? Thanks!
Try "T2SZ9X" and let me know if it works. That should get you the accessory discount! Congrats!
Thank you! Sadly it doesn’t look like it works. Is there another one I should try?
Sure thing. Try "ZR9K2W" and if that does not work, try "XRSN95".
Seems like none of them work, because I’m already using the Generic Black Friday promotion :/ thanks anyway!
Oh, darn. Either way, enjoy your Peloton!!! 😃
Hi I'm in the UK can I still use your code ? Would it be accepted
Honestly, not sure. My guess is yes but not positive. Thanks though!
Great video!! Any chance of getting a referral code?
Thank you and sure thing! 849PAH
Thank you!
I do not see a link below where is it?
Which link are you looking for? They are in the description if you expand that.
Is there a peloton version 2 bike coming out ?
Not that I am aware of. The current bike is version 2 or 3, I can't remember but I believe the only things they updated was the attached tablet. I thought I heard a rumor that they may make a less expensive version of the bike and tread, but I have no idea if that is true.
Thanks for sharing Travis! I am interested in how you felt about the instructor's method of teaching. Did you feel motivated by the instructor? Did you feel that he was in the room with you as if you were at the actual studio taking the class? I am doing a study on Instructional Methods for Live streaming fitness trainers. Thanks so much!
I do feel motivated by the instructors. Sometimes I do a just ride and try to push myself. I usually will burn half the calories I would have in an instructor led course. It is more motivational, you have instructions you are trying to meet, and goals you are trying to achieve. I do really like that part of it. As far as feeling like I am in a studio… I don’t know if I feel like I am in a studio so much. Although, it does not feel like 1 on 1 guidance either. If the feed was an instructor riding with me or giving advice 1 on 1, I think it would feel a little weird if that makes sense. The fact that you see all the other riders and you know you are not the only one riding makes you feel like it is a group effort, which I do like.
@@Learnwithtravis Thank Travis, greatly appreciated. Great video's subscribing now.
No problem and thank you!
@@Learnwithtravis One saved round, if the Instructors could improve one thing what would you wish?
You know, there are enough instructors with different styles that you have plenty of choices to find instructors you enjoy. Not sure I have any feedback. It would be nice if Peloton offered a control that allows you to fade between instructor voice and music to get the balance you want. If you guys are trying to create a competitive product, you better be on point. Peloton has a pretty sweet setup. 😃
Hey Travis, I've been riding now for about 7 weeks and have had knee pain for the past 10 days. Is there anything I can do to elevate that? I've started staying in the saddle for low impact rides of 45 min or more.
I am not an expert on this and my suggestion would be to contact Peloton support via chat. I think they have a document telling you want to look for. A lot of the time this is because your bike or cleat is adjusted wrong causing stress on your body in ways you don't want. Another thing is on the Peloton. They have the 101 setup video you can watch that tells you how to adjust the bike. You may want to consider watching this to look for improvements and then adjusting cleats so that your feet\legs and positioned correctly. Good luck!
Thank you!
Where's the code?
If you live in an area with bike stores, do not buy the shoes. Go and get a pair of bike shoes that fit your feet. Different brands have different fitment.
Good idea
I can't find the group you are referring to on FB.
It is called “official peloton member page”

DO YOU EVER HAVE CONNECTION PROBLEMS?
just wondering thanks in advance
Nope. Never. As an IT guy, I am pretty sure 90 percent of times people have problems it is because of bad wireless which can usually be fixed. I did create a video about it, but no, I have never had a single connection issue.
