# Aviron October 2026 Content Update — Release Notes **Page type:** Release Notes / Software Update **Summary:** Aviron's October 2026 content update adds three new coached series (one per machine), a new guided workout series, a monthly challenge, and two new scenic destinations across the Rower, Bike, Treadmill, and GO platforms. *By Andy Hoang · Updated October 1, 2026* --- ## New Coached Series ### Coached Classes: Twenty's Plenty — Rower, GO RowAlong Twenty's Plenty is a 12-class rower series of 20-minute interval workouts coached by John. Each row follows a distinct shape, including pyramids, ladders, waves, and rapid-fire bursts, with stroke rates ranging from 20 to 30 spm. Most workouts peak with an all-out effort and pair every hard piece with easy rowing so each effort stays high quality. Threshold Builder focuses on sustained aerobic work. Difficulty ranges from medium to hard across the series. --- ### Coached Classes: Trail Blazer — Treadmill Trail Blazer is an 8-class treadmill running series coached by Jared, with every run lasting 20 minutes. Each class follows a terrain theme — from Into the Woods and Coastal Miles to Canyon Run — pairing steady-state jogging with incline changes, planned recovery breaks, and cues on posture and breathing. - Incline builds across the series - Class 4 reaches 6% incline - Class 7 reaches 9% incline - Finale (Summit Day) climbs to 12%, with the option to power walk or jog the steepest sections --- ### Coached Classes: Intro to Choreo — Bike Intro to Choreo is an 8-class bike series coached by David, with every ride running 25 minutes. Each class moves through jogs, sprints, and hill climbs matched to the beat, with optional standing segments and a closing stretch. - Classes 1–4: Build the base with rhythm presses, travel backs, and core isolations - Classes 5–8: Layer in elbow drops, jumps, and half-time and double-time cadence shifts - Finale (All the Right Moves): Brings every element together across alternating sprint and hill intervals --- ## New Guided Workout: Short Stack — Bike, Rower, GO, Treadmill Short Stack is a new 4-level guided workout series for days when you only have a few minutes. Every level runs 6 to 9 minutes. Each interval is a little shorter than the last while the work gets harder. ### Short Stack — Rower - 4 levels: 6, 7, 8, and 9 minutes - 4 to 7 intervals per level - 30-second rest between each interval - Intervals start at 50 to 55 seconds and get shorter as resistance climbs from 3 to 6 - Level 4 ends on 30-second pushes - Keep a moderate stroke rate inside the band shown on screen to earn stars ### Short Stack — Bike - 4 levels: 6, 7, 8, and 9 minutes - 4 to 6 intervals at a moderate cadence - 30-second rest between intervals - Resistance climbs from 30 to 60 as intervals get shorter - Levels 3 and 4 open with a longer 65-second effort, then taper down to the finish ### Short Stack — Treadmill - Walk-based workout (not a run) - 4 levels: 6, 7, 8, and 9 minutes - 4 to 6 intervals at 3.0 to 3.7 mph - 30-second recovery walk between each interval - Intervals shrink from 55 seconds down to 30 - Incline builds from 2% to 5% - Recommended: Start at Level 1 and step up when it feels easy --- ## Monthly Challenge — October: Joker October **Machines:** Rower, Bike, Treadmill, GO, Abs Hero Joker October is a distance-based challenge that tracks the total distance you cover across the month.
