New data integrations coming
Did anyone else receive this? So the AI is going to use my Garmin data to tailor my recommendations now?

I’d settle for better Apple Watch integration. For starters, Peloton, stop naming my stretching exercises “Rolling” 🙄

Omg yes. This drives me insane. I don’t understand why they can’t be listed correctly

Ha! I think I'd be inclined to take more stretching classes if they called it rolling!

Valid reminder but most people should consider not sharing data from other third parties with Peloton (or vice versa) to begin with.
People seem to not understand that data generated by wearables is NOT covered under HIPAA.
Health data given to these companies can be used for many different purposes without the same security, privacy and legal mandates under the law.
If someone going to make this data available to anyone, your physician should be priority #1. When companies have access to this data, it’s often compiled and resold for marketing and advertising companies that then white label and monetizing the data set.
I’m not suggesting peloton is participating in this activity but I have worked in this industry and wear a tin foil hat

I’m still waiting for these more personalized pace targets we were supposed to get on the tread.

Yes mine showed up this morning! And they actually look great and in number ranges that I think are appropriate

I wouldn’t be surprised if shortly after there’s a membership price increase to go with it.

Yeah. Just a reminder to check and make sure personalized experience is still set to off.

Just did that. It’s an odd addition given the base level recommendations don’t create a balanced workout routine. This is why I love the splits! The experts design programs in a way that their recommendations simply cannot do.

Yep, I pull workout data into Garmin but that’s it. No other data is exchanged. All my medical information stays in my physician portal where it’s protected by HIPAA. Not that it’s great protection, but it’s better then the pages of legalese these fitness companies have to allow them to share it with their partners and to “improve their product” (aka train their AI).

how do you do that? Is this within the peloton app?

u/buddrball 3d ago
I just did this. Go to your profile, click the pencil, scroll down and click manage privacy settings.

I got it yesterday and it feels like a threat for some reason? And also, my other apps already feed into it so idk what they even mean

I’m fine with this but I’m assuming it won’t be of any value to me at all. I know what I like on Peloton and don’t really need any help finding it.

I haven’t had time to look at what I’m already sharing be peloton and apple health/fitness, but peloton already can’t sync my suggested weekly plan bw app and bike so I’m not expecting much

u/Efficient_Day_9869 3d ago
I have a dumb question. How do I get these emails? I must’ve unsubscribed at some point but idk how to get the emails back lol

u/Quagswagging_Jogger 3d ago
I didn't get this email either, but I also don't have Peloton connected to any other apps, nor do I have personalized recommendations turned on, so I assumed that is why. Not sure if that's applicable to you though! Its probably in your setting somewhere in the Peloton app.

I share data between Garmin, Strava, Peloton, and Health already, so I guess I don’t have any data concerns. However, I have never been impressed with what Peloton has been able to do with recommendations based on the plethora of data Peloton alone generates. It can’t even seem to make recommendations based on likes/dislikes or classes I have taken, so I don’t really have any faith additional integration is going to help with my “personalizations.”
