[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rowing machine.  I’ve tried Pelaoton and find their classes boring.[/quote]
You think Peloton is boring but erging isn’t?  Erging is hellishly hard and deadly dull.[/quote]

I feel the same way about erging v bikes.  Exercise bikes are boring and so repetitive and your body is cramped in an unnatural position.  Erging is a much more natural full-body exercise, and you also have to think about it more so it's not as boring.  It's not just grind, grind, grind around the pedals.  [/quote]

But the Peloton is not a bike in the way that a Concept 2 is an erg.  The selling point of the Peloton is that it has coached workouts, which can last from 5 to 90 minutes, in any variety of styles, and coached by various personalities.  All of that displays on the screen mounted to the bike.

The parallel would be if the erg had a giant screen and someone coxing you through each piece.  But it doesn't, so the comparison doesn't hold.  (Also, once you row long enough, you don't have to think about erging technique really at all.)  [/quote]

less expensive alternative is to buy a bike and use an ipad with the peleton ap. Ap is only around $20/month. A $2000 bike with a $40 monthly fee is crazy. [/quote]
