During cycling workouts, the instructors often tell you to try to stay within a
certain cadence and resistance range. The screen shows the target range as
recommended by the instructor, next to which you’ll see a small lock icon; tap
that to engage Auto Follow. Doing so locks your resistance within the
recommended target range, so you don’t have to adjust it manually, a new
feature not available on the original Peloton Bike.


When you’re in a live class, the leaderboard shows everyone currently taking it
with you. During on-demand classes, the leaderboard shows everyone who has
previously taken that class. You can click on anyone on the leaderboard to

gender or age group.


Instructors choose the tunes for each workout, so everyone listens to the same
music. Peloton classes are often sequenced to go with the music; when the
chorus comes on, for instance, the instructor might tell you to pick up the pace
to match the beat. Instructors often give shout-outs to riders on the
leaderboard, celebrating milestones such as someone’s hundredth ride.
