[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the appeal of Peleton?  It is just a gym membership in disguise where YOU also have to pay for the equipment.  What a joke.[/quote]

How much is your time worth? My is worth a whole lot more than the cost of the equipment/subscription and the time it takes to get to the gym (at least 20 minutes each way). I use my tread+ (no longer sold) for distance race and triathlon training. I use my wife's peloton bike, but not as often. I still go to a gym for weight lifting.

How is this difficult to understand? The cost of this is easily a mild monthly wine habit, if you have one. Or a normal American's take out food habit. [/quote]

I have a Peloton and a gym membership. I strongly prefer the Peloton for spinning. I use the gym for weights and swimming. [/quote]

+1  Before the pandemic I always had a gym membership I would use for about a month and inevitably would stop going and just pay monthly fees until i was inspired to go again for another month.  I got the peloton bike in 2020 and haven't gone one week without exercising at least 3 days/week.  The convenience just makes it so easy but the classes (both on and off the bike) are also fun.

Exactly. Going to gym is a pipe dream for me with small kids. Now I can do rides and strength classes 4 days a week while my kids happily watch a couple episodes of their show. I'm way healthier than I was 2 years ago. The product works for both DH and I and paying $66/month (for both cost of bike and content) is a way better value than the gym we never went to. I will be very bummed if they go down.[/quote]
