Update 10/16/24: Details are out:
- Earn 100 points per workout
- Workout must be 20 minutes+
- Maximum of 1,000 points per month
Hyatt & Peloton have announced a partnership. The partnership will involve Hyatt adding Peloton equipment to 800+ properties and provide access to Peloton classes on guestroom TVs at nearly 400 properties for guest and member enjoyment this year. The most interesting part of this partnership and the only reason we are posting is because that Hyatt plans to offer points for completing Peloton workouts during your Hyatt stays. Unfortunately no details have been released on what this actually looks like, but could be good for some easy points.
Points gained are worth more more than Peloton stock.
THE MOTIVATION I HAVE ALWAYS NEEDED
So 3 hours and 20 minutes every day baby lets pump it up
A monthly cap of 1000 points isn’t great, but $20 is $20 (at 2 cpp). And that’s only 3.3 hours of cardio per month—which is easily done. Most fit people do that weekly if they’re doing what they’re supposed to do.
You only earn points on workouts AT Hyatt hotels. So regardless of how fit you are, it’s not that easy to max out unless you stay in Hyatts year-round. Personally, I tend to take a break from exercise when I travel if the trip is under 2 weeks.
that is enough to motivate me to work out assuming it works seamlessly
$2 is all it takes to get you to cycle for 20 minutes?
I mean yes, because working out is good for you, and a lot of people just need a nudge? That nudge could be a friend coming with you or a free bit of points?
Excellent point (pun intended).
Those are 2 very different, almost opposite, nudges. Financial incentives don’t work very well to encourage health. They’d probably work if large enough but you’d need to add a few more zeros to the $2. I’ve found that social incentives work the best. Join a cycling group. Join Strava and Zwift. Get those likes.
I had the Paceline credit card that paid 3% on everything and 5% cash back on groceries, fitness, some other stuff. You qualified every week by doing a basic amount of fitness. Free Apple watch also. Keep me consistent. The program ended but I saved a nice bit in the year or so it existed.
It sounds like “provide access to Peloton classes on guestroom TVs” that you could queue up several peloton workout classes on your TV, start the program, then leave the room. Maybe you will get credit for each 20 minute workout. TBD if that is how it will work.
It says “equipment-based workouts.” In-room is specifically excluded.
Do I need a peloton account to track it? If so – NOPE
Peloton accounts are free. Classes are not but they are at Hyatts.
Issue is if someone falls off a bike, gets weights dropped on them, etc. Most use agreements include a forced arbitration clause.
too bad their seats are SO uncomfortable for my skeleton butt…i always feel impaled
Padded cycling shorts
Assuming Hyatt pts are worth 2cpp, this comes out to $6/hr.
haha!
Sometimes the bikes don’t work in the gyms. Depends on the maintenance/upkeep.
