[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it me or does Peloton seem to be a bit of a scam? It’s a stationary bike that people pay thousands and thousands of dollars for. Also, the treadmills are a danger to young children. [/quote] Yes and the it’s totally cheesy, especially how they market the identities of the instructors. We’re going to look back at “time capsules” from this era and give a little chuckle - kind of like the Jane Fonda workout videos of this time. [/quote] Personally I think group classes are the scam. You're paying $20/$30 per a class. If you're taking 5 classes a week that's $400 - $600/month. On rides. I didn't buy a Peloton, I bought a STAGES bike and its the best thing I've ever done for myself. That said if Peloton was my only option (its the same price) and I had to add on the $30/month for the classes, that's still a better deal than spending $7,000+ a year on fitness classes in studios. And it doesn't matter what kind - I don't care if you're into hot yoga or pilates or zumba or barre or soulcycle or whatever. That's over $5K a year, [i]every[/i] year, when you could have bought one Peloton 3 times for a single year's classes. [/quote] Fitness studios have an unlimited option. I don’t think people are paying $600/month[/quote] Okay - let's say you're doing the unlimited option. I took a look at Barre. [b]To give you an idea on price, one class in San Francisco is $30, while a 10-class pack is $240; a month of unlimited classes will cost you $199.[/b] https://barmethod.com/locations/washington-dc/ $200/month is still $2,400 a year. That's the cost of one paid-off Peloton bike. [/quote]
