I have to imagine there’s an army of writers behind the scenes at Peloton giving the athletes good inspirational lines for their classes. Here are my faves, in David-Letterman-Countdown style:
10. “Find a deeper breath.” (45 min Country Ride – Hannah Corbin – 43:30)
9. “You’re not a product, you’re a project.” (45 min 80s Ride – Denis Morton – ??:??)
8. “Practice makes permanent.” (45 min Power Zone Endurance Ride – Matt Wilpers – ??:??)
7. “Grind now, shine later.” (45 min HIIT & Hills Ride – Ben Alldis – 11:20)
6. “You didn’t come this far just to get this far.” (45 min Tabata Ride – Ally Love – 29:25)
5. “Pressure makes diamonds.” (45 min Pop Ride – Kendall Toole – 24:05)
4. “It’s a blessing to be sore.” (45 min Country Ride – Hannah Corbin – 26:50)
3. “Woah, whose legs are these?” (45 min Power Zone Endurance Ride – Matt Wilpers – 23:35 – referring to the first time back on the road after a winter of indoor training)
2. “It’s a flute solo, come on, give love.” (45 min Classic Rock Ride – Kendall Toole – 43:50 – owning The Mamas and The Papas California Dreamin’)
1. “Justin Bieber went through puberty in public; if he can do that, you can do this.” (45 min Pop Ride – Kendall Toole – 8:50)
