Peloton's Secret Weapon: Stacking Sessions and Scheduling Tips to Boost Your Fitness

There is so much to learn for a new Peloton user. Peloton members often ask me about the three S’s: scheduling, stacking and sessions.

Stacking

You can create a series or classes by stacking them. They will automatically switch from one class to another.

Select any scenic or on-demand class to stack a Peloton Class. To add the class to your stack, tap on the Stack icon (see below).

Pro Tip: You can hold the class thumbnail on the Peloton Bike and Tread to have it added to your Stack automatically. YouTube

These are some other important things to remember:

• There are up to 10 classes that you can queue for in a Stack, but only one stack at a given time.
• Modifying a stack can be done anywhere, except the IOS app.
• However, the Peloton iOS app allows you to view and start your workouts right from your Stack.
• It is not possible to add the same class twice to your Stack.

To modify your class stack simply tap on the Stack icon. You will see a pop-up listing all the classes available on your Stack. Click “Modify” and you can modify your class list.

Three more stacking tips

• The first class on the list will be played by stack classes. If you wish to play another class, you will need to modify your Stack.
• You can remove a class you have started from your Stack from your playlist, regardless of whether you complete it.
• If you press “Continue To Stack” at class’s end, stacked classes will switch between one another.

Sessions

Sessions is a Peloton feature which allows you to view a live leaderboard in an On-Demand class, without actually being in the Live class at its first release.

Tap the Class tab to join a session. Select a running or cycling course that is more than 20 minutes long. The “Sessions banner will indicate which classes are eligible.

Sessions (BETA) banner

After you have signed up for a session, you’ll be directed to a waiting area where you can wait until class starts. You can join new sessions every five minutes so don’t worry if you miss a session.

Tip: You won’t see the overall leaderboard if you take a session… so make certain there are other people in the session. You will end up in a class where you are the only one on the leaderboard.

Scheduling

Scheduling Peloton classes helps you plan and hold yourself accountable for showing up.
