Anyone tried Peleton Bikes for the home?

[Anonymous]

This might be a stupid question, but I have been dreaming of getting one of these. I go to spin classes and love them. However, I turn 50 this year. Too old to invest in one?

NP. I haven't worked out in years and have low muscle tone...is this bike for me to get me motivated?

I’m also considering getting a Peloton, so this thread is very helpful.

Question: Does the subscription include app access? The site says you get the app for free with your first year subscription, but I assume that continues if you continue to pay for the subscription....

I don’t love biking. Anything similar for treadmill?

I did that class too! It was a ton of fun, I was smiling while I was doing it.

How do you know what type of ride is what? And what music is being played in the class?

I was glancing through the site and it's hard to tell (though I'm new and maybe just not looking in the right place. What's a DJ ride (referenced above) and what kind of music?

LMAO! Their commercials are definitely aspirational. Your post made me laugh out loud!

Same. Their ads are for Silicon Valley / LA folks

Yes. You get app access with the subscription (even after the first year).

I don't understand this question. Too old at 50 to get a spin bike? In what possible way would this be too old to invest in your health?

For any "On Demand" ride you can find a category: by music, length, type, instructor, etc. It's really handy. A DJ ride just features a live DJ standing next to the spin instructor. There is a huge variety of types of rides and types of music. I love the fact that there are varying lengths of rides.

I got mine a week ago, having never set foot in a spinning class but tried a Peloton at PT and was immediately hooked.

Unfortunately am recovering from ortho surgery and can't really go at things very hard yet, but I did try one 15-minute class and have done scenic rides.

I am a sucker for metrics and stats and competition, so am looking forward to that aspect when I am healed. But I'm also a massive introvert and have zero interest in actually being in a room with other people.

I wish I would hurry up and be recovered!

I am one of the PP who bought one recently and I am very happy with it. I use it multiple times per week, sometimes twice a day (ride and weight class). I just wish the live rides went later at night.

Why do you think you are too old?

That was my question and I guess it was silly. I really want to do this and was just thinking this is something too trendy or more for younger people and it is an investment (I often feel like I am one of the older people in the spin classes I go to). But I went to Peloton and the guy I spoke to said his most common customer is mid-40s on up. Going to go for it and I am psyched -- the bikes are beautiful!
