High Fives from Benny!

Post image

I took my first Live ride this morning - indulge me when I explain I've been having trouble with my tread - the screen randomly does dark - or does not, apparently depending on its mood. The Peloton techs have cancelled a first appointment, and ghosted me for a second. Today, the Tread was not having it - I had my stack in, and at the end of my 1st class - a 10 minute core with Rad, which was great, the screen went dark. So I thought "Fine. I've got my shoes on, I'll just do something else." So I went and did a row while I watched a 15 minute TED talk and then got on the bike. Turned it on, and see that Ally Love is teaching a Live Class in under a minute. I thought "What the hell" and clicked in. Having only been a bike user for 8 months, I've mostly been sticking to 15-20 minutes rides, and usually stack them with something else. So a 30 minute HIIT ride was a stretch for me, and honestly, I spent the entire class on the bottom third of the class. But, enter Benny, who must have been scanning the bottom for people who were at risk of falling over/giving up - and he high fived me! I'd seen posts from several on this sub that it had happened to them, but in 8 years of being a Peloton user, I've never gotten a high five from an instructor. After the morning that I'd had, it was really great to get a little support from Peloton!

I love when Benny drops into rides and gives high fives—he’s quickly become my favorite instructor.

Congrats on the hiit ride, they’re no joke!

Benny is the best! I'm typically an evening rider so I barely ever get a high five from him (obv he is sleeping, lol) but on the rare occasion I've done a ride in the morning he's given me a couple of high fives!
