We talked about it some in the biking thread, but not much. We got ours for Christmas, surprised the wife with it, and of course I ride a heck of a lot more than she does.
I did 20 minute beginner rides for the first week or so. I average about 4-5 days a week on it. After I got used to the seat, and bought some cheap padded shorts on Amazon, I started doing mostly 30 minute rides. Matt Wilpers, Ben Alldis, Denis Morton, and Alex Toussaint are the instructors I keep going back to. With Alex being the one I like the most out of those.
I don't do live rides all that often, just because of the schedule, but there are tons of on demand rides that were taped from previous live rides. And I love the sessions. They start every 5 minutes, and there's usually a good selection of 20-30 minute rides, and a variety of instructors and music. I like something fast like rock or hip-hop to ride to.
If you're on Facebook, there are several groups. I joined the Peloton Dads group, and the guys in there are great.

Even though it was just my first ride, I hate that seat. Picking up a pair of bike shorts might not be a bad idea.
Thanks for the reccomendations on instructors, the one I did first was Robin Arzon, but it'll be good to have a good mix of 20-30 minute rides I can do at lunch/in-between meetings.

75th ride tonight. Also found some resistance band classes this afternoon. Did a 10 min glutes and legs class followed by a 10 min upper body, both with Andy Speer. Didn’t realize they had band workouts on there but nice to know.
