Yes and the it’s totally cheesy, especially how they market the identities of the instructors. We’re going to look back at “time capsules” from this era and give a little chuckle - kind of like the Jane Fonda workout videos of this time.

Personally I think group classes are the scam. You're paying $20/$30 per a class. If you're taking 5 classes a week that's $400 - $600/month. On rides.
I didn't buy a Peloton, I bought a STAGES bike and its the best thing I've ever done for myself. That said if Peloton was my only option (its the same price) and I had to add on the $30/month for the classes, that's still a better deal than spending $7,000+ a year on fitness classes in studios.
And it doesn't matter what kind - I don't care if you're into hot yoga or pilates or zumba or barre or soulcycle or whatever. That's over $5K a year, every year, when you could have bought one Peloton 3 times for a single year's classes.
Fitness studios have an unlimited option. I don’t think people are paying $600/month
