There, Peloton keeps a record of your workout history, stats, achievements, and
saved music. You can click into each workout session to view all your stats,
including your average and total output, distance, and active and total calories
burned, as well as your average cadence, resistance, and speed. It also shows
graphs of your heart rate (if you have a heart rate monitor connected), output,
cadence, resistance, and speed throughout the workout.

access a list of Peloton instructors to view their bio and classes, search for

to adjust your seat depth, seat height, handlebars, and how to clip in and out
with cycling shoes. Within Peloton 101 are also several videos going over proper
bike form. If you’re new to indoor cycling, be sure to check out these primers.


Next to the three-dot icon on the bottom of the interface is a newspaper icon,
which brings up a social feed showing your friends’ recent activity. If one of
your friends took a class that looks interesting, you can play it right from the
social feed.


Finally, in the top-right corner of the interface is a Settings menu where you can
connect to Wi-Fi, adjust volume and screen brightness, connect a Bluetooth
device or heart rate monitor, cast your screen to another device, and access
device settings.


The addition of Apple’s GymKit technology makes connecting an Apple Watch
