Wow, completely disagree with this. Bike is the only thing that keeps my interest and motivation bc there are lots of moves/speeds/class styles. Treadmills and ellipticals are pure hell to me.

Same. I’ve been taking spinning classes for more than 20 years, and the Peloton is perfect for me—my favorite exercise, and I don’t have to leave the house or be around other people.

OP, get what you’ll use. I would not recommend a Peloton if you don’t already know you like spinning. I had a really nice treadmill that I stopped using when I remembered that running hurt my hips and knees, and getting rid of it was such a hassle. Get the thing you know you like and will use.

The OP could return the bike before 30 days if she didn’t like it so it may be worth trying. I never took a spin class before owning the Peloton bike and I love it.

Just go outside! We live in an area with amazing places to run. Our weather is good (with the rare exception) year round. Why run in one place inside a building?

Because some of us can’t safely run due to the time when we would be running. I’m not going to go running outside after the kids go to bed when it’s dark out.

This. So many others reasons why a treadmill is a better option for some.

We have a treadmill, stationary bike and a Hydrow rowing machine. I run 6 days a week outdoors as I hate treadmills and only cycle when injured. The Hydrow is fun so I use it several times a week. You can do Live rows or pick from a library of rows, yoga, pilates and strength training. I love it!
