So how did I end up hunting for Peloton workout schedules and falling down a Reddit rabbit hole? Well, let me back up.

But when covid-19 shut down gyms, I lost access to the bike. I also moved from an apartment to a house, which is when I began considering ways to switch up my workout routine. Gyms and boutique fitness studios remain closed where I live, so I usually run outside five days a week. It’s a free
