Peloton Bike

[thenewjs23]

I have a similar set up for one of my road bikes for when its bad out. Zwift connected to a smart trainer. Your bike is connected to a video game and you can race others from around the world on a plethora of routes.

Not sure if that's the word you were looking for or not.

I read that op was trying to get in shape.. you gon need more than that over priced bike fam you about to make zero gains

 

[zekethephysique]

Did two rides since it was delivered on Saturday. It might be "overpriced", but it was 44 degrees, rainy and windy this morning. I wasn't about to do anything outside and it took about 5 mins to get out of bed and on the bike.

I bought this for convenience.... and it's been pretty convenient so far.

I made fun of the bike in this thread.

my wife has been on my *** to go try it at the mall since she wants one.

if I get one is there like a mode to race the bros? ksteezy is about to catch these pedals.

Looking into this myself. I lost ~100 pounds a few years ago mostly due to consistent indoor cycling classes. Since moving out to CA, I'm commuting more now and have found it difficult to find time to go to the gym.

For those who have used Peloton and have taken indoor cycling classes, do you see a major difference in the atmosphere of riding at home vs. in-person with a live instructor?

Yo that **** was pretty fun. Not gonna lie.

keeps you more engaged than a rower or assault bike.

Jump rope>>

It's great cardio, work has these with free preloaded classes.

You will lose interest in 3 months...

As someone who loves to run and been rising for most of my life, I despise treadmills and trainers. They r cool as a supplement I guess, but I’d always rather run/ride outside.

Did you?

idk I use the stuff I buy. I lift at my house at least 50% of the time vs the gym.

In the summer when I’m working I lift at the house damn near every day but Sunday.

My father had a stationary bike when I was a teenager. It became furniture after a while.

Like others have mentioned, there is slight variation in what you can do with a stationery bike.

Weights are different than a single use cardio machine.

Not sure if your mind is made up but I would say save your money.

 

[mplsdunk]

My wife got it.

I got the gym membership and paid for the equipment in my basement which is the same price as the bike.

it was her turn to buy.

I have not done an in person class with respect to cycling. But Peleton is the goods. My apartment complex has a few and the workout is amazing, especially coming from someone who HATES cardio.

spin is good tho man. Been a runner all my life . Even at the collegiate level. And man the knees are shot. Even the lower back. So spin is a good alternative. I’m anti treadmill tho. For running that is.

I’m not anti cardio but I haven’t really found a machine I like. I went hard on the jump rope for a while then that started to hurt.

I get plenty of cardio in real life between work in the summer and lifting but I’m not against the bike.

it wasn’t my idea but it was fun, I wasn’t bored and was pretty tired at the end. Plus my friends have them so mad trash will be talked.
