[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It isn’t. People like to buy expensive things because they “deserve” it. Then they feel the overwhelming need to proclaim how great it is to validate spending a stupid amount of money on a stationary bike. [/quote] This is so not true. Why do people say this about Peloton. I have been an avid runner, yoga, and strength training person for years. Running was free but yoga and going to gym for weights was not. Once dc were busy, my job intense, and commute longer it was very hard to make. A friend told me about peloton as I had never done a spin class. I bought the bike and then was able to do classes and tread on the app. Guess what.... two years later I have an almost perfect daily record. I don’t have to run in the dark by myself in the cold or rain, I don’t have to dress and drive for 15- 20 min each way to gym, I don’t have to wait for the gyms hours or class schedule. And, my dh and two teens use the bike often enough. I don’t get how people want to invest so little in their health. After you purchase bike you pay 39$ ( i think per month.) That is so inexpensive for something that keeps you fit, is enjoyable, seems like a hobby, and can be used by anyone. I agree with you in that I deserve to take care of my health and my self. I love spin, running, strength, yoga, meditation. It’s a great product for me and still going strong two years in. Most people do not stick with gyms or exercise routines, if this allows them to do so for about 2$ a day.....why not. [/quote] Exactly. I think this PP just has some weird stick up their ass about Peloton. Yes, it’s an approx. $2,000 initial investment, but after that, it’s WAY cheaper than a gym membership or a class pack for yoga. I’ve always loved doing yoga, but could never justify $150-200/month for an unlimited pass (which was the only way to be able to do yoga as often as I wanted to). A membership to the LifeTime fitness center near my house starts at $129/month. So why is it that people act like Peloton is so expensive, when it’s actually cheaper than joining a gym (something no one talks about as being stupidly expensive or a waste)? [/quote]
