Hello everyone! New guy here. Nice to join this community.
After four years, 1100 rides, and spending $44 a month for a Peloton subscription, I finally canceled my account this morning after taking my first Apple Fitness+ cycle ride.
As someone who is retired, I don't need to spend that kind of money on a bike membership. In fact, for almost $10 less a month, I now subscribe to Apple One Premier and share a whole handful of Apple services with 5 other members of my family. You can't beat that!
I hooked up a 27" monitor I had lying around to Apple TV and put that in my workout room. Now, when I ride on my Peloton bike, I sync the Fitness+ ride to my watch and put my bike in JUST RIDE Mode. The Peloton still shows my cadence/resistance and calories burned while my heart rate and workout are displayed on the Fitness+ workout screen.
Okay, so here are my questions...
1. The immediate downside of switching to Apple Fitness+ is that it seems as if you can't filter out rides by workout intensity. I like doing 20-minute rides and it's easy to filter by music and instructor but there is no telling what kind of ride, intensity-wise you are getting. What do you guys do in that case?
2. I like to select my workouts before going on the bike. I see that you can browse the app on the iPhone or iPad and SAVE a ride. However, when I bring the app up on Apple TV I can't find where my saved rides are located for easy access. I am also assuming I can easily remove those saved rides after I have taken them?
Thanks for the help.
