Cody Rigsby is the GOAT. His energy is infectious. The 30 minutes Backstreet Boys ride was borderline life-changing.

Did you do a power zone test? I’m about 1 month in, have been spreading rides out between Alex, Hannah, Kendall, Cody, and some of the shorter UK peeps (they seem to be the only ones with 20 min HIITs which work well after lifting).
I am intrigued by the Power Zone program that is on the bike, but not sure if I should trust my pre-assigned power zones on the bike?

I did one. Don’t remember much about it. I’m still a newbie.
I’ve heard the test is challenging enough and have been encouraged to have a few rest days before taking it. I’m trying to figure out my timing of when I take classes. Morning work best, but I find I can put out the “big” numbers like I can later in the day.
I’ve done the test. It’s intense.
Never done one of these. I normally do HIIT or Tabata as i want to burn some fat. I read about the power zones but it seems a bit more complex then just hopping on the bike and getting after it.
The test is really tough. Definitely make sure to do one of the FTP Warm Up rides right before doing the test, but don’t go too hard during the warm-up (made that mistake once and regretted it). Personally I don’t think it matters too much how many rest days you take prior to the test.
The “Discover Your Power Zones” program with Matt is really helpful too if you’re wanting to get into PZ training.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers ride w/ Emma is great and pretty tough. Add @thethirdlew. I need some extra motivation to get off my ass.

Agree on the bike instructors. The Thread instructors are much much better. Rebecca Kennedy is the GOAT and Becs Gentry is great too.
3 days in a row… You sure you need the motivation?
I just did the power zone test ride with Matt earlier today. Hit my 20 minute output record on it. The ride is very tough. He said at one point “if you don’t rate this a 10 on how tough this is, that’s your problem.”
My body is going to hate me tomorrow.
