[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its a bad ad if they are unable to convey the message they want then. 
If they wanted the focus on MENTAL health, they could have easily thrown that in there. perhaps the wife says it is hard to get out of bed during the first few sessions, mention not enjoying things she used to. Then in the end show her happy adn talking about feeling refreshed and like herself again.

Anything other than a husband getting  a 120lb woman an exercise bike and then that same woman saying she wants to make him proud by not giving up? WTF[/quote]

She’s meant to be something of a blank slate so that people can project their own desires/goals onto her, whether it’s to treat anxiety, lose weight, have a daily activity that’s just for them, improve their cardiac health, etc.  Instead, some people are projecting their own body image issues, which is fine, but those people probably were never going to buy Pelotons anyway so who cares?[/quote]

The problem is she's not a blank slate. She is making expressions and doing weird stuff that seem at odds with the activity she's engaging in, so we're all wondering why she's such a weirdo instead of imagining how well a Peloton bike could improve our lives and ourselves. [/quote]

When I am on my Peloton I sing loud and everything![/quote]

I am the PP - and an ad featuring a woman singing really loudly with joy while riding her Peloton would work for me, and not seem strange at all. That would show me that this bike can (gag me but yes) spark some fcking joy instead of whatever the hll this ad is supposed to show me the bike can do for a person.[/quote]
