You high five on Peloton by tapping on the high five feature on the screen, then a name on the screen. It is the best way to feel connected to fellow riders in a Peloton session.
Formerly, a high five was only possible on the Peloton equipment, the bike, or the tread. However, Peloton updates have made it possible to have the feature on the iOS app as well. So now you don’t have to have the Peloton equipment to enjoy the social aspect of Peloton. And there’s more, so let’s get down to it!
Peloton High Five
Peloton high five is basically the usual high five, you know, where you lift your palm and someone taps on it with theirs. The only difference is that you do it virtually on a peloton since the classes are also virtual.
Fortunately, the feature comes with the Peloton equipment or digital app, so you don’t have to download it anew.
While it is evident that high fives are available in live peloton classes, it is worth noting that they are available for on-demand classes as well. Therefore, you can use the feature to stimulate your good feelings while getting rid of possible stress.
How Do You High Five on Peloton?
Here is a simplified way to high-five on Peloton bike, tread, or digital app. Shall we get on with it?
How to High Five in a Live Class on Peloton
When in a live class, you will see the Leaderboard, where the real competition on Peloton takes place. If you want to appreciate a user or a friend in class with a high five, you will use the Leaderboard.
Please scroll down the Leaderboard to get the username, then tap on it gently. There, you send a high five to the user.
If someone sends you the congratulatory high five, you will see the notification on the bottom left. So, you will most likely want to acknowledge the high five by returning one. So, tap on the pop-up notification that appears, and your high five will get to the user.
How to High Five on On-Demand Peloton Classes
If you are in the on-demand classes, you will have to filter your Leaderboard to ‘Here Now.’ If you don’t do this, you will not get the names of people who are riding with you at the same time.
Remember that on-demand classes are recorded, which means that members could be accessing them at different times. The best part of the deal is that you will almost always have members to ride with you. When you filter the Leaderboard to ‘Here Now,’ you will see the members riding with you, who you can interact with during the ride or run.
So, once you are using ‘Here Now,’ scroll on the Leaderboard. Then, send a high five to the username. If you receive a high five and get the notification, tap on the notification if you want to send one back.
How to Fix Peloton High Fives; If That Didn’t Work
As mentioned, a high five is a natural feature on Peloton. However, it is not surprising to find that yours is not working. In this case, check on the following;
- Your internet connection
- Your gadget
If your internet connection is fine (a minimum of 10MBps), reboot your smart screen. Then, clear the cache (NOT the “clear data” option)) to encourage the gadget’s speed.
Process:
- Select “Settings”
- Select “Apps”
- Select “Peloton”
- “Force Stop” the application
- Go on Storage and then click on “Clear Cache”
- Power off; then power it back on
You can also check if you turned off the high five notification without your knowledge. Set it on and try a high five once more.
