I have had my Peloton for almost a year now and have logged close to 1000 rides, 300 stretches, and 175 strength training workouts. The cycling classes are so motivating with great instructors, music & tons of options. There are classes from 5 minutes to 90 minutes with all kinds of different types of music & teachers. You can do a low impact class one day and a high intensity class the next. I've done barre, yoga, plank, abs, stretching & outdoor running classes with Peloton. My first love is outdoor running, but it's pretty hard on the body over the long term. I bought the bike so I can do spin classes that are easier on my body, but still get great workouts. I used to do spin classes at the gym, but found them very overcrowded (sometimes couldn't even take the class after driving all the way to the gym) or had the bym bike not working after starting class. At the gym you don't get to pick the music, the instructor, the type of class or the time frame. I can spin more often because I can take low impact rides when my body needs a break. My whole family uses the bike. The app price is just one fee for everyone.
I have lost 120 pounds doing lots of different types of workouts at gyms, outside & indoors over the last 3 1/2 years. I love the Peloton because it's available no matter the weather or time of day.
I would disagree with the poster who said you can get as good of a workout with a pile of rocks. Thats pretty one sided and coming from someone who doesn't own a Peloton. Peloton has tons a strength training workouts & support groups for any age & ability. There is even a 70 year old group.
Working out for me has become much more than just losing weight or being active. It's more of mental health and confidence building. The Peloton plays a huge role in helping me to keep mentally healthy during these crazy times.
