The Peloton status page notes \u201celevated errors with live classes\u201d for about an hour starting just a few minutes after the class kicked off, and resolving at 11:07AM ET. Some users who got into the event also noted technical issues while it was live. At the time of writing everything seems to be operational.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">For those who couldn\u2019t get in, Peloton posted in its Instagram stories that the class is now available on-demand, while an encore version of the Turkey Burn will kick off at 10AM ET on Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Many Peloton users were unable to get into Thursday\u2019s Thanksgiving ride, prompting the company\u2019s CEO to apologize.
