MAXIMIZING YOUR WORKOUT
WHAT DO THE PELOTON COMMERCIAL ROW SCREEN
METRICS MEAN?
Stroke Rate: Stroke rate is measured in “Strokes Per Minute” (SPM), which is the total number of times your
body moves back and forth along the rail in 60 seconds.
NOTE: Remember that moving the handle while driving the seat back along the rail is the only way to feel the
resistance the machine provides.
y Pace: Pace describes how fast your boat would be moving if you were rowing on the water. Your pace is the
amount of time it would take you to row 500 meters at your current speed. The harder you work, the shorter
your pace time will be.
°
Peloton Instructors will coach using pace targets because it’s a good way to measure how hard you’re
working, and it’s directly connected to your power output.
°
You can make your boat go faster without increasing your stroke rate by driving your legs harder.
y Drag Factor: Drag factor controls how much resistance builds up as you pull the handle faster. It’s important
to know that Drag Factor is not equivalent to resistance on bikes or other workout equipment, because
resistance on rowers increases by default as the velocity of the handle increases.
NOTE: Drag Factor is not intended to be a difculty setting like those found on other Peloton products, and may
not lead to a more efcient workout. It may even get in the way of your learning and could lead to bad habits or
injuries if not used properly. We recommend sticking with the default setting for the best experience.
