Hi Everyone,

I am thinking to invest in a Peloton, has anyone tried it or have any feedback?

    *Google's peloton*

    Lol.. okay context is much better.

    If you're into cycling, and would do it, any investment in something you enjoy is worth it

    Yea I do like Cycling and I figure that it's better not to go to the gym for some time

    I already had a spin bike and an iPad, so I downloaded the Peloton App about five days ago. I absolutely frickin love it. They are giving away three free months of the digital app if you sign up in April. Download the app and check out the classes to see if you would find them appealing. If I didn’t already have a spin bike I think I would have ordered the bike. I can’t get as much feedback with my bike and iPad, but I do have my Apple Watch to accurately display my heart rate and caloric burn. So for me, the amount of feedback I have is enough. I also find that the quality of the classes are just as good as a real class. I put in as much effort as I would in a real class. I’m going to continue in the app after my three month trial. The digital membership is only $13 a month, and I think the content is well worth that. I love it!

    Got my Peloton on March 22nd. Getting through a stress fracture so i was told no weight bearing exercise but I could swim (I don't and now with pandemic, no swimming) or ride a bike. So I got it. It's awesome! Love the riding classes but also love the other classes and the community. Fun people, great music, really excellent workout. I did not push myself running but I get a much more challenging workout on the bike. I highly recommend it.

    I already have a road bike and a cheapish smart trainer so I have no use for a Peloton but a friend included me in her family account so I've been using the Peloton app for a few months now. I like it but their programs but if I were to be paying the monthly fee, I prefer zwift, but that all depends of your goals and how you want to achieve your goals.

    I also happen to watch a comparison of Peloton vs. Nordictrack indoor bike on youtube, and I were to be spending money on it, Nordictrack seems to have more features that I would want, like the incline feature. It might not matter to you. Nordictrack is slightly cheaper too.

    Thank You! I actually made the plunge and bought it, it comes in next week. I don't see myself going to the gym even if it does open up, because I hope for the number of infections with the Corona Virus to go down before going to a lot of crowded places or places where germs could easily be spread
