Best praise vs top criticism for Star Trac Studio 5
“I really do miss the Experience rides: Cody XOXO Sundays with Love Jess King Experience AT's Validate for Greatness etc etc I legit did the Scenery rides (all the 5-30 minutes are done!) just to do something different than the typical 30-min Hip Hop or R&B rides. I feel like they have completely given up on these types of rides...and they were amazing to take *live* and shortly thereafter. Those JKE rides just hit differently.”
“I'm enjoying the new crush your core 14 day streak. I'm not one to do programs (too much commitment) but this one is okay because the classes are so short I can still do one on my rest days. Greta's 5 minute get to know me class was useless. I still know nothing about her or her style of yoga or what she plans to do with peloton (like why wouldn't she talk about what sculpt is, for example?). Other than that she's Canadian and says y'all a lot (not very Canadian). Then I did her 15 minute class and I quite liked the flow. My advice is to do that class but skip the 5 minute one.”
