[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it gets sold, it won’t be forced years. They are too ambitious to exit at this point.

But I bet the Tread+ never gets re-released. And they scrap either the rower or the strength thing.

[b]They are leveling back to prepandemic where they should be - good product, good community and interaction with that community, but not taking over fitness [/b][/quote]

Exactly. People are acting like Peloton emerged from the ether in March 2020. It was around and growing for years before that, and SoulCycle was already on the decline in 2017 (according to this article: https://www.vox.com/the-goods/22195549/soulcycle-decline-reopening-bullying-bike-explained). Peloton had crazy growth for a year or so, and now there’s a correction. But there were lots of people who bought it well before the pandemic because they love the convenience and hate the gym, and those people will continue to exist even in a post-pandemic world. I’m one of them; I don’t even like the community, but I like spinning as exercise, like the instructors, and am thrilled never to have to go to a gym again. (For the people who are into the community, it’s a whole other level of commitment.)

I’ve also started to take strength and stretching classes, so I’m getting increasing value from the monthly membership, and other members of my family use it occasionally, as well. To answer OP’s question, I’d certainly pay more than $40/month—I honestly think that’s a huge bargain and am surprised they haven’t increased it yet—and probably wouldn’t start complaining until it crossed $75/month.[/quote]
