PELOTON DIGITAL APP ON ECHELON EX3 SPIN BIKE HACK | (see and track all bike metrics and stats)
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 08. 2024
- I’ve been using the Peloton Digital App to use on my Echelon EX 3 Bike for a little over a month now and this video shows how I set it up. I paid £1238.99 for the Echelon EX3 bike and £12.99/month for Peloton Digital app for the cycling classes + strength/yoga classes. I have also used CZcams for free spin classes, and even though it is nice to find free classes on CZcams I find that the selection just can’t compete with Peloton’s variety of classes, great music, and diversity of instructors.
The Peloton Bike is amazing, but the Peloton App may be a better option for those not ready to purchase the Peloton Bike. Is the Peloton App with an alternative bike worth it or would it be better to save for the Peloton Bike? This video covers the pros and cons of using the Peloton App with an Echelon indoor cycling bike.
The downside is that I don’t get to compete in the live classes and see my metrics directly on the Peloton app screen, but that doesn't bother me that much. The only way to see your stats in the Peloton app is to purchase the bike for over $2,200 and $39.99/month for their membership. This just seems a bit too expensive for me and so I decided to create my own Peloton hack to same me some money while still getting an amazing workout for a fraction of the price. I am personally not a competitive person so I don't need the leaderboard or the live classes and statistics so this setup really works for me and it is a much more affordable price than an all-inclusive Peloton set-up

Who is your favorite Peloton instructor?
Alex, Robin, Ally, Tunde and Cody for cycling not ordered in preference. Tried Denis’ OutKast class and loved it and him. Jess for strength. Chelsea for Yoga.
Loveeee Tunde and Alex for spin classes. Honestly they have the best vibes and so much positivity!
Jess king, tunde, Alex, Cody, and for low impact denis Morton
Yesss. Love Tunde she’s so motivating and she’s start bike boot camp which is such a fun challenge!
@@AllAboutAnika did you do Tunde’s bike bootcamp on Friday. I know you in the UK. So the days might be different lol. I also did her interval and arms ride today. Her bike bootcamp was my first. I don’t really have medium and heavy weights yet
This was seriously THE most helpful video I've seen so far comparing Peloton vs Echelon and how to mix the two if you're ballin' on a budget. THANK YOU!!!
THANK YOU so much for watching and your kind comment. Glad my tips can help you ball on a budget :)
$49.99 CAD per month for the Echelon monthly subscription is absolutely crazy. Great video.
I agree! Thanks for watching! :)
I just got an Echelon and this comparison was super helpful! Thank you!
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching! :)
This was so helpful. I have had the Echelon E3 for a year with the Echelon subscription and I don't want to renew. So now I know exactly how to use Peleton with my Echelon. So clear, so easy and so helpful Thank you
Thank for your comment. Glad you found the video helpful 😌
Ohhh shoot! This video just changed the game for me. I have a really old spin bike that doesn't have magnetic resistance and was thinking about getting the schwinn ic4. I think I may get this now thanks to your video.
Wooo! So happy to hear it! let me know if you do get the echelon! :)
Thank you for this!!! My dad got me an Echelon bike for Christmas but I've been using the Peloton app for over a year and really love the community and the instructors- I was a bit bummed out with all of it and this video was excellent.
You can totally use the peloton with the EX3 bike and I love that I can use the peloton community but with a non peloton bike! You’re gonna love it!
Thank you for this! I followed your lead. Robin is my current favorite! I’m just getting started
Thanks for watching! :)
Glad you are enjoying the classes
Hey! I thought it was possible to configure QZ so that it allows the Peloton App to control the EX3's resistance. I think that if you configure everything correctly, you won't have to manually dial the knob, but it will be adjusted by the Peloton session! Have you managed to get that working? You can have the Peloton app show your metrics, by connecting it to your QZ device. Check the QZ guides to get your setup to its fullest!
You are amazing, I could not figure out how to get the cadence and resistance!!! Thank you a million times
Glad I could help! 😊
Thank you so much! I bought a echelon GT and use the peloton app. Thanks so much for the help💕💕💕
Thanks for watching! :)
Great video. So informative and helpful. Have been struggling to decide on a bike and you've addressed all my concerns. Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for your nice words. Glad you found the video helpful. 😊
Favorite peloton instructor is that British bloke Jeremy
Ohhh I’ve never taken his classes
I have the same set up however I’m also falling In love w Variis and the soul cycle plus they have RUMBLE now for boxing and yoga .. I use my iPad for a bigger screen and the Variis app is AMAZING !! So fancy !
Ohhh wow!!!! Sooo many apps I’ve gotta check out! Thanks for the recommendation 😊
This was so incredibly helpful! Thank you!!!
Thanks for watching :)
What a wonderful and helpful content you put out here, we just got our Echelon and have printed out the resistance chart to comp to 0-32. Btw, what camera/devices you used to shoot this great video? Thanks
Thank you so much for your comment! Glad you have the chart at hand. It is super useful.

@@AllAboutAnika Thank you, I appreciate your reply and time. All the best. Cheers
Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for.
Glad I could help!
Awesome video! SUPER helpful!!
So glad you found it useful!!! 😊
@@AllAboutAnika You really made it simple and easy to connect the dots. I’m about 90% done building my EX-3. I’m going with a Roku TV (wall mounted) for the Peleton app. Thanks again!
Great video, I bought the echelon to pair with peloton as well. This video was so helpful!! Thank you
Amazing! Enjoy your new spin bike and hope you enjoy the peloton classes like I do!! 😊
this was so helpful! I just got my echelon last week and am going to try this tomorrow! I didn't quite like the echelon app plus it's $40/month 😅
Yeah I wasn’t a fan either. But the beauty of the EX3 bike is you can use any app. Let me know how you get on! ☺️
Super helpful video, thanks! Do you have to pay for the two apps to make this work? If you can see the freestyle ride details you show in the video without Echelon App subscription that would be great..
No you don’t have to pay to see your metrics. You just have to buy an echelon bike, download the app and register your bike serial code, and then choose “freestyle mode” to see your stats.
Great video! Also - your skin and blush are flawless!!!!!
Thank you so much 🙂
This was so helpful night and set up my bike today. Your video was great thank you!
Thank you for your comment. So glad you enjoyed the video :)
So i just got this echelon after seeing your video and it was on sale and they ended up having free shipping but there was also an option for free premium delivery with assembly included.
That is awesome! Enjoy your new bike
Great review! I was hoping I could do this, thks!
Glad I could help! and thanks for watching! :)
This is exactly the set up I've just ordered! But with the sport instead of the ex3. I'm totally baffled by shoes/spd/cleats though. Ordered the SPD pedals but have no clue what shoes to but or how to assemble the 'cleats?'. A video on this would be amazing! All the content I can find online in aimed at men in lycra and very confusing. :-)
Congrats on your purchase and set up. When I purchased my SPD shoes they came semi assembled, but I will totally considering doing a video on which shoes to buy and how to adjust the bottoms so you know how to clip into them! I was totally confused at first as well, but it gets easier!
I love this idea! I was so tempted to purchase a Peleton even the used ones. Still over $800 for used ones plus membership. So I love this review
Amazing! Thanks for watching glad the video helps
Thank you for this video. I’m currently doing this hack
Awesome to hear! Thanks for watching
Excellent video thank you
You’re welcome 😊
Well presented, thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching 😊
Do you have any life hack videos for using an Apple Watch to track your heart rate while using the echelon app?
I have started to use qdomyoszwift to track my heart rate during my ride
When you have your phone and tablet on the holder does your phone ever fall off? Do they stay in place well?
With a mini iPad and iPhone 11 Pro Max it sits nicely. Anything bigger might not fit or fall out. But you can adjust it.
Great video. Having an iPad and your phone on at the same time is kind of a pain imo though. And I assume you need the app on and connected in order for the echelon to even work essentially?
It is a bit of a pain but it’s a massive money saver which is why I did it. Yup you need to have the app open to keep the resistance on the echelon going. But the great part with the iPad now you can do split screen.
Do I need an extra holder for a phone or does
It for with the tablet ?
If you use the tablet holder for the tablet then yes you need an extra attachment for a phone. Otherwise you can use the table holder for your phone.
OMG the pup is sooooo cute!!
Awwwww thank you! 🐶 She has her own Instagram as well! Www.instagram.com/princesszizi__
awesome. video. it appears that the bike you are using comes with a tablet. if so are you just setting ipad and phone in front of it? is it attached somehow? I am wondering cause i’m thinking of getting echelon Es-4 from Costco but it has monitor. i plan to get peloton app and use ipad like you did.
I have the echelon Ex3 - it does not come with a screen, it has a holder for an ipad, which is what I use to hold my iphone and ipad and use the peloton app with it.
Thank you for making this video! So do you need to subscribe to both Peloton and Echelon apps? Just wondering how you’re able to connect the echelon bike and get the stats
Nope you don’t need to pay for the echelon app. You can just use it in freestyle mode for free. You do need to pay for the echelon app
*pay for the peloton app
@@AllAboutAnika so you can just download the echelon app for free and be able to get the stats?
@@alyssaashbaugh8816 Not sure if you figured it out already, but you will need to buy one month's subscription to start using the app. Echelon won't let you just download the app and start using it for free. They require you to buy the subscription and then you can cancel and keep using the freestyle feature.
You could do it with split screen on your iPad too.
Actually you cannot....I tried and both apps won't open side by side for me...Did you manage to get it to do that? If so, how?
@@AllAboutAnika interesting. I have Peloton app and Metrics open in split screen. It takes a bit of finesse with split screen for sure. But it is a selling point of the newer iOS' (all apps can split screen or be a smaller window next to another). Hrmmm.... I'll ask my friend if they got this to work. I have the Bowflex C6, and this video reminded me I could use Peloton and Metrics app side to side, I'll see if they had the same luck with Echelon and Peloton.
Thanks I’ll try again maybe I’ve opened it incorrectly or split screen the wrong way! But I’ll def try again
Great video, convinced me to do exactly the same thing. Thankyou
Amazinggg!!! So glad you’re gonna be spinning soon enough! If you wanna add me on peloton we can do a class together (time zone permitting). Enjoy the new purchase!
@@AllAboutAnika Will do, hopefully it will arrive by the end of the week, I am in the UK also In case anyone else in the UK is planning on buying 1 currently you can get between 8.25% - 16.5% cashback through quidco when buying direct from ECHELON my purchase is currently tracking at £204.43, every penny helps when making such a big purchase. Thanks again for the video Anika
@@AllAboutAnika Had mine for 3 weeks now, after a few sessions I noticed a grinding noise and eventually tracked it down to the pedals, I know you said your pedals broke too. Maybe this is a bit of a problem with the quality of the pedals you get in the box, anyway I am trying to get them to give me some money towards the new pedals I had to buy.
The only other minor issues I have are as follows, this would not put me off buying it but would definitely try and get some kind of discount (code, quidco, topcashback) based on the fact its certainly not a perfect bike:
1) As I am tall at 6ft 5 I think its only just big enough for me with handlebars and seat at max setting.
2) The Bluetooth version on my tablet is old and when I crank up the resistance there is a real delay of about 5 seconds before it shows on the tablet, on my newer phone this is not an issue.
3) The fact you have to plug it is a pain, does not affect me where mind is but cant believe that it would have been that difficult to make it wireless as there are plenty of spin bikes that don't need a power cable.
4) Also I don't like the fact when you complete a class, it just closes down the window and reduces the resistance to 0, as my legs spin too fast and would rather be able to maintain at least some resistance. This wont be an issue when I follow your setup Anika and use Pelaton classes with a freestyle echelon ride.
5) The plastic holder for the tablet works well but it feels cheap compared to the rest of the bike and I think could have been made out of better quality materials and I worry about leaning on it or my kids breaking it.
6) Max resistance (32) is not that hard and I often cycle at it during a class, the spin bike in my Gym I would struggle to get a few revolutions at MAX.
7) I really like the classes but agree the music is a bit old and some coaches are better than others but that's always the case.
Thanks for video, really helpful. What's the distance between the handle bars? Do you think it can hold any size tablet, such as iPad Pro 12.9"? Same question for both balancing a tablet, and using it with the Echelon tablet holder. Thanks!
The iPad Pro should be fine. To fit. The tablet holder is adjustable so it can hold a phone up to an iPad.
Thank you! This was so helpful!
You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi, thanks for your helpful video. Do you need to maintain your echelon subscription to use freestyle ride?
No you do not have to pay for echelon subscription to use freestyle mode
How do you keep both ur ipad and phone on top of it?
Do you still have to pay for the Echelon app monthly? I can't seem to just buy the bike without the monthly subscription.
You can use the bike without paying for the app. You can use the freestyle mode in the app for free. When you first buy the bike echelon makes you pay for a subscription. I paid for 1 month and then cancelled afterwards and just use the freestyle mode with the peloton app. Hope that helps.
@@AllAboutAnika thank you for the information.
I am trying to find the size of the tablet holder to decide if I am buying this bike as I also want to use the peloton app. Do you think it would fit a Ipad pro + Iphone X ? Thanks it is very helpfull!
Thanks for watching. You will need to get an additional holder for your iPhone. The tablet holder on this bike will hold your iPad Pro perfectly but you will need an additional holder for your phone. I’ll be doing another video soon about my new set up with my new iPhone holder attachment. ☺️
Cool trick!
thanks
Thank you! i might do the same....not a big fan of the echelon app
Enjoy. And hope you enjoy the peloton classes as much as I do
Great video..trying to get my wife to exercise more but she hates my airdyne echo bike, who does not right? So with this bike I can get all the peloton workouts and classes for $12 a month??
Also you mentioned the peloton app has other workouts like strengh and conditioning, yoga, lifting etc, etc.. so these other workouts are not biking workouts right, they are just different workouts you can access in case you don't feel like biking? Do the strengh and conditioning workouts or other workouts include any weights, barbells, kettlebells etc, etc? Sorry for all the questions. Thank u
Hey!!! Happy to answer the questions. With this bike you can use any spin classes app. I personally find peloton app the best spin classes a month. I pay £12.99 a month for peloton. I think it’s great value for money. You don’t see your metrics in the peloton app but you can pull up your cadence/metrics on a separate device on the echelon app, you don’t have to pay for the echelon app to see metrics. So yes I only pay for peloton. With peloton there are 1000s of other classes like yoga, running, cardio, meditation, stretching etc. I really like the spin classes and the bike boot camp and strength classes. I basically mix it up and do different workouts if I don’t feel like spinning. You need to buy your own weights, kettlebells but you don’t need many. Just light weights and medium to heavy weights. You can also try peloton app for free for 30 days so you can try the classes and see what kind of weights/equipment you need. But there are plenty of classes that are also body weight and you don’t neeed to buy weights. I hope this helps :)
Thank you for your great advice..I already have kettlebells, weights, ropes, rack, punching bags etc, etc..
I wonder if I can do the biking with my echo airdyne bike? Anyways thank you very much and I will defenetly be getting peloton app and maybe one of these spinning bikes for my wife😁
Best of luck! And enjoy the app
So.... Which app tracks your progress? Echelon keeps track of cadence, speed, calories burned, etc. But the Peloton just streams the class, right?
Yup echelon has all the distance, efforts, etc. peloton keeps track of how many classes and how long. But I don’t like how echelon keeps the data. So I now push everything to strava and track on my Apple Watch :)
@@AllAboutAnika Gotcha. Thanks for the reply!
Does the peloton app you are using have scenic rides like the one on the peloton bike?
Yes you can access scenic rides in the app.
@@AllAboutAnika oh okay, I was looking at it the other day and was t able to see any. I am trying to decided which bike is going to work best for me but I can’t see spending so much money got the peloton and also having to pay 40 dollars monthly. Thank you for your help
Hello. Can you tell me how many turns of the resistance knob it takes to go from from 0 to 32? Thanks
Hey! To go up 1 level on the echelon bike it takes about a 90 degree turn to the right. It’s hard to say exactly how many turns. Hope that helps :)
@@AllAboutAnika I meant for the ex3. If you still have this bike, can you please check this for me? Basically set the resistance to 0, then turn the knob and count how many turns it takes to max out to 32
I do have the bike but it’s hard to say exactly how many turns. It’s not always the same. It’s approx 7 turns from 1-31. Like I said it takes about a 90 degree turn to increase a level. But sometimes it’s more and sometimes it’s less on the EX3. Sorry I can’t tell you exactly.
Can the Peloton app be loaded onto a TV and on an ipad without causing problems when logging in?
Yes you can use a smart TV, apple TV, or ipad to play the peloton app
If you use the Echelon app just for the cadence and resistance, are you able to hook that up with two different phones? I would want to share my bike with my husband! And can the peloton app be shared on one device too?
Yes you can use one phone for viewing the class on peloton and then one phone/another device for the cadence on echelon. You can create multiple profiles on echelon, but with only the peloton app you can only have one profile. If you buy the peloton bike you can have two profiles in peloton. Hope that helps :)
So when they say to add 2 to 3 in resistance on the Peloton app do you also divide that number by 1/3 for the Echelon so if they say add three you only add one?
Yup exactly! It’s not an exact science but that’s what I try to follow 😊
@@AllAboutAnika Thank you so much I couldn’t find this information anywhere!!
There is also some echelon vs peloton resistance charts you can buy online. I’ve linked one in the video description. 😊
Do you find the console plastic "cheap"? It seems to look out of place with the build quality of the rest of the bike
At first when I put it together I thought it was a but but to be honest I don’t even notice it anymore. My iPad is always on it and I don’t even think about it
Do you need to pay/subscribe to the Echelon app in order to see those metrics/ stats?
No you don’t. You can use the stats in echelon for free.
i wish the peloton app still had the scenic rides
There are plenty on CZcams. Or I think the echelon app does them for free :)
Do you have an extra attachment for your phone in addition to using the iPad not the console?
I have now purchased a new iphone holder (car holder) and placed it on my bike.
My favourite spin classes are from RI:ID.
Never heard of this type of class! What is it?
@@AllAboutAnika the channel is on youtube , Paul is the instructor (formerly with GCN) and he does HIIT sessions and other spin cycling. He is my alltime fav because all his classes are so professionally produced and there is sooooo much variety to it. Check him out here czcams.com/channels/A7BqdLcVkq2rE3fqIP8KEA.html
Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll check him out! 😊
Do you think it's worth getting a JLL spin bike and use the peloton app or worth getting ex3 and getting a subscription
I am not familiar with the JLL, but I would recommend whichever spin bike alternative you get that you are able to see cadence because that will help with taking peloton classes!
Hi! Do you have a link for the rack you added to your bike (for weights)?
Hiya! My rack came with the bike, but here is a link I would recommend that can hold weights and your spin shoes from amazon - geni.us/tjwlAMu
Do you have to pay for the echelon app in order to just see your cadence on your bike in the free style ride mode?
No you don’t. As long as you have a bike to register in the app you can see your metrics on the app without paying
You da Bomb! Ty
Thanks
Cannot use on Android phone?
I think you can, but I have only used this on iOS devices
Will it show the peleton leaderboard so I can ride with my friends and challenge them?
No you will not be on the leaderboard unless you buy the peloton bike, but you can still ride with your friends for on demand rides and other non-live rides
Thank you so much ! This was great!
Do we need to pay for an echelon membership to use the free ride feature on the app?
No you do not need to pay for the subscription to use the freestyle mode
Does that mean that you cant save your info / numbers on the Peleton app?
You can log your workouts in the peloton app. But your speed, cadence, output, distance will all be saved in the echelon app.
I want to get a peleton or echelon and am based in the UK. I thrive on competition/leaderboard so want to know how can I achieve some sort of competetiveness by getting an echelon. Will I only be able to be competitive during a live class with USA times? Or still competetive with a prerecorded class?
With the echelon class you can join live classes for the active leaderboard. They have classes mostly tailored to US time zone but they do live classes UK afternoon/evenings and sometimes in the mornings. They also have prerecorded classes which have a live leaderboard called “encore”. These classes are previous live classes but the leaderboard is active. So basically in an encore class the teacher is not going to call out your name but you can see who is actually riding at the same time as you and try to beat them/compete with them. Hope this helps 😊
Thanks, for the reply, much appreciated 🙂
@@AllAboutAnika With this scenario you would need to pay for both the Pelaton and the echelon applications in order to compete on a leaderboard and have access to Pelaton correct?
Yes. To use the leaderboard in echelon you need to pay for the app and use the echelon bike. With peloton you have the pay for the app and the bike to see yourself in the leaderboard.
@@AllAboutAnika so are you saying that you can not see yourself on the leaderboard on the peloton app if u do not have a peloton bike?
Are you paying for two apps then? Or does the echelon have a free version?
No I’m only paying for Peleton currently. There’s no free version of echelon.
@@AllAboutAnika In the video you opened up the echelon app to show the resistance, cadence and work output. How are you able to see that info without paying for the app? I’m curious because I intend on buying the echelon today. Thanks for the info!
Sorry I thought you were talking about free trial for classes. When you buy the bike you have acres to the app to use the “freestyle mode” and that’s how you can access the stats. Hope that helps 😊
@@AllAboutAnika it does! I appreciate you taking the time to respond. Thank you!
Good luck with buying the bike! It’s a great investment.
What heart rate monitor do I use?? Do I connect it to echelon bike or peloton app??
I use my apple watch for the heart rate
Which echelon app do you have? Every time I try, it wants me to select and pay for a plan still??
You can just create a login and use the metrics. You do not need to pay for a subscription
How did you remove the ads from the echelon freestyle screen?
Unfortunately you can’t
Hi! I just got my echelon bike. If I used the peloton app, will my Bluetooth connect to my echelon bike to track my cadence? I don’t understand how to view my cadence otherwise
You have to use the echelon app to control the bike and you can use the peloton app on a separate device to watch a class
I can’t get my iPhone to connect with my bike. It connects with my iPad but not phone. Anyone have any suggestions?
I would try unplugging the bike and plugging it back in. Or try to quit the app on your phone and re-launch. Good luck!
How have you secured both the iPad and iPhone to bike? I’ve bought mine today and prefer to use the phone for the metrics and iPad to watch something.
Also is there the option to finish a ride in freestyle mode so I can mark the cycle as finished so it pushes the info to Strava
I just adjust the holder to smaller/bigger so that both my iPad and iphone fit in (I have an iPad mini and iPhone 11pro) you need to use the metrics/freestyle mode to change resistance on the bike. So if you’re not using an echelon class you will have to have two devices. Nope you can start a ride and then end the ride and start something else’s in freestyle. But I’d recommend using freestyle mode on one device and then use another device for tv/classes etc.
@@AllAboutAnika that’s great thank you for the information. Once you finish in freestyle then does it automatically push the info to Strava?
Sorry I only ordered yesterday so havn’t had A chance to check it out yet, but this video is great
@@AllAboutAnika hey. Just a heads up, there is a way quicker and better way of doing this where you actually connect your echelon bike directly to the peloton bike. Il try and post a video later
How does it log the ride for you, do it not save anything in this mode
I log my rides on my Apple Watch and strava. The ride will be saved in echelon for all the stats like distance/resistance. Peloton will save the class type and time.
I’d suggest strava or Apple to log everything else :)
Which I pad did you pair?
iPad mini. I’ve linked which one in the description of the video :)
@@AllAboutAnika thank you! I was torn between the mini and iPad Air. Do you feel like the mini is enough screen and was conducive to your bike?
It’s a big enough screen for me. Altho I am considering upgrading to the air next year. But that’s for other reasons. I think the mini is a big enough screen for playing spin classes on :)
Your iPad link in the description goes to a Bed & Bath ad. Also, the fact that you can't connect the app from iPad directly to your bike is a huge disappointment.
Thanks for letting me know. You can connect from the iPad to the bike btw
Do you need to pay the subscription fee for the Echelon app to do a free ride (just to see the metrics)? I want to avoid paying for 2 subscriptions..
she mentioned in previous videos that the echelon app is free to download and can use it with free style rides.
You do not have to pay for the echelon app to access your metrics. Just make sure you buy the echelon spin bike and register your bike when you download the echelon app. I have covered this in another video: czcams.com/video/ChEyZSoQN6U/video.html
Thanks Liliana :)
