[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like spinning and do it as part of my regular routine but think Peloton is a terrible investment.

1) you will get bored
2) your body will adapt
3) you will potentially get injured doing the same thing over and over again with no cross-training
4) you don't get the same calorie burn/workout as you do when you move the full weight of your body through space

I have had the Peloton for three years and none of this has happened to me. I still use it diligently. I do crosstrain though (weights and stretching using the Peloton strength/stretch classes and swimming 2x/week).[/quote]

+2, I have a peloton and this list sounds bizarre to me.  It's not boring, and the classes are incredibly varied so there's not an adaptation issue.  I also go to OTF so I cross train (you don't sign an exclusivity agreement with peloton...).  4 is just odd. I am a runner but I find the peloton workouts to be a lot more grueling than running because of the resistance.  [/quote]

We have had the bike for a month but I am impressed with the strength, stretching, walking and cycling programs. Buy some weights, foam rollers, and resistance bands because there are programs that use them all. The cycling programs have an insane variety of options. We are enjoying the overall experience. But this essentially a first impression report.[/quote]
