Peloton Bike

[zekethephysique]

The wife and I decided to pick up a Peloton Bike. Kind of wanted to put in a squat rack, platform, and weights in my garage to lift, but I know it would have taken up too much real estate. Considered a rowing machine, but it seemed too boring. Landed on the Peloton after a ton of research and the wife trying it out at a store here in town.

Anyone on here have one? I excited to get back in shape.... been slacking.

They have bike seats that have the hole in the middle so the balls are not squished. I had that problem when I bought my road bike, almost returned that ****. Felt like I got continuously kicked in the balls.

Peloton's are definitely all the rage right now. Price point is steep tho. $2K+ for the bike & then you have to subscribe to a membership if I'm not mistaken for video access.

Meh. Burpees >

I did research and that "peloton" bike apparently costs 2 thousand American dollars.

Opee you could have gotten 2 very good real bicycles for that

I was going to suggest this as well.

Maybe he lives in the NE or Midwest where he could only ride forreal 7 months out of the year


But, As with niche kitchen items, I would always wonder how much usage will this get in about 18 months

They used to call them joints an "exercycle" back in the '80's.

Lol damn, Peloton making it clear who they're for.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

We’d get one if they were cheaper

I spin a lot, (stationary bike classes set to music) and that **** does wonders for calorie burning. With that said, I definitely wouldn't get the same effect if i was cycling by myself in my garage. The bike is fine, but I'd personally opt for a nice set of kettle bells for weight training and cop a real bicycle for cardio. Or just hike/run.

Exercise is less than half the battle. If you want to get in shape, you need to eat right.

I think everyone should exercise regularly, so I won't say it's pointless, but if the goal is to get in shape, working out without proper nutrition is a complete waste of time.

I thought the two holiday spots they ran were really great.
