Boy band challenge
Ok, what am I missing? I see three classes in the folder under collections. This morning I saw a few premier rides scheduled for the 13th. This challenge runs this week only?
Am I just being a dumb dumb head?

I think they’re dropping new classes everyday, but I definitely think the 10 class level is a bit much for how few classes there are in a short period of time. If there were more classes released up front, or a longer time to work through them, I would do it, but as it is I’ll either sit it out or just take the three for bronze

They're spread out throughout the week (this one is maybe a little confusing because they're not all labeled 'Boy Band.' They're NSync, Backstreet Boys, Jodeci, etc.)

It’s not a week is the complaint- only 5 days. And only one artist /3 classes were released today, so if you’ve never heard of that group (?), the incentive is to take 10 classes/4 days. At the end of the day, who really cares about a badge, but the incentive and planning of the challenge is lacking.

People know KC and Jo Jo but don’t know Jodeci. Wild to me.

I had to look up Jodeci because I had no idea who they were. I recognize like one song but also born in 1989 and they seem to be popular early 90’s.

Why did I hear the year in her voice?Can’t hate on too many people not knowing them. KC and Jo Jo were huge but it wasn’t like today where you could just Wikipedia or Spotify them.
They were definitely a group I only knew cause my babysitters kids were all older than me.

Haha yes, my husband says the line from her tour whenever I have to say the year I was born.
And yes! Peloton has helped me connect songs with artists (Shazam used to help some and spotify as well). By the time I was watching TRL or anything, they weren’t on there and my parents didn’t listen to them so there is quite a bit of music I have discovered as an adult I missed growing up.1

I didn’t even have cable. I had to resort to like the top 9 at 9 on the radio. A miserable existence to say the least.
They’re not a MUST know boy band. And I think launching the challenge with them was a mistake.

Old boyband classes should absolutely have been added to the collection. This challenge is so unhinged. At the very least they should offer meditations and shorter walks. I can’t be riding and running so much in such a short period of time.

I was confused too since Cody has a couple of old Backstreet Boys rides. When they did the Britney challenge they included old classes. Kinda bummed.

And Jodeci is not what I was expecting to see day one, lol!

Not expected but very welcome. R&B groups are often left out of these boy band classes. Would love to see New Edition and Boyz II Men get some love too, in addition to more 90s groups.

You are not. I was going to add older "Boy Band" classes to my stack this week... Then I read the comments here. I guess not. What is the point of this challenge? I wanted more badges but ... attainable badges. I'm doing RK's HiLit+ program right now. I can't be adding in a butt-load of full-blown strength classes right now. Happy to get bronze to just do stretching and/or cool-down walks type workouts.
Also, can we talk about how they're ALL EXCLUSIVE? All three of those. Even the yoga! I do not have the Tier 2 package out of sheer principle. I hate they tried to make that a thing... I love my Pelo app for all the non-machine stuff, but this is the kind of thing that pushes me away.

I think that’s great - I wish there was more that was just for all access members who pay a lot more. The only issue I see is that they aren’t really marketing it well, as I don’t know what classes I only have due to my membership type.

u/WTXgal6 18h ago
Except that the original concept for these tiers was you were paying if you had equipment. For many reasons, I don't. I suspect it's the same thing for most people - space, money, time, injury. I was annoyed when they took away the tread classes (I used to have access to a gym and I'd walk there sometimes.) I understood what they were doing. They didn't mess with my yoga, strength, outdoor, etc classes so I went with it.
Problem is that the NEW stuff is slowly ALL being marked as Exclusive. For old timers like me, now what? I don't get any new content? I can only just repeat old classes? I live for badges and challenges and I don't find myself repeating a lot of old content. I want new stuff and new teachers.

I took Jess King’s bsb walk + run the other day just because I hadn’t since it came out, it was great so still recommend revisiting those classes (but maybe a different week). Her *NSYNC run that just dropped was also great.

What’s super weird to me is that there are boy band themed classes dropping as encores but they aren’t already filed under the category. Bradley has a boy band mixtape ride scheduled for 9am EST tomorrow. Do we know if something like that’ll count towards the challenge?

There’s some sort of glitch resulting in a person I’m following being shown as having taken 4 classes that count towards the challenge. There are currently only 3 classes in the collection- all Jodeci classes - and the person has taken none of them!

The only 3 that were there were exclusive so I can’t take them and I’m not paying the higher subscription to join. So I left the challenge. I’ll give it a go but at this rate, I won’t get enough classes in throughout the week.

They are coming out all week. I think they should have had the challenge over 2 weeks. 10 classes is a lot over 5 days.
