I didn't tell anyone I had it for months. This is a way to make yourself feel superior to people who have found a lot of good in something. It's lame.
If you can’t manage to work out in an effective and enjoyable way without a 2500 bike- that is lame.
DP. Does lashing out at people like this make you feel better? What's wrong with you?

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.

But it’s like you’re missing the complete point. That doesn’t sound motivating at all and 12.99/month (which is hardly crazy) could make it an amazing experience.
How am I missing the point? iFit offers the same type of classes that y'all looooovvveee on the Peleton app, but he prefers the virtual outdoor ride. And if you do buy the Peleton bike, the monthly subscription is a lot higher. So between the bike and the subscription, it's way more expensive.
Enjoy your kool-aid.
That was me. Sorry. I just don’t think ifit sounds comparable to peloton like, at all. I can’t see how that would keep your interest for a long time. But if it works for you, it’s great. I will stick with the kool-aid!!

DP. I just don't understand you PP. You want to hate on people who have found a way to exercise that they enjoy. If someone is exercising when they were not before, then it is a worthwhile investment. Exercising regularly helps stave off a lot of health issues and saves people money down the road.
If you don't want a peloton, don't buy one, no one is trying to convince you to buy a peloton. You're just in here telling all of us who have found success in finding fitness (some for the first time in our lives) that we're cultists. I mean maybe so but in this case we're better off for being them.
iFit BTW simply does not offer class content at the level peloton does, particularly cycling content. That is just not true. Even if you just take power zone training as the difference. Certainly I do far far far more than random scenic rides which are basically not a workout on peloton.
