Peloton bike

[Davyhoogy]

Has anyone got one of these or had a trial?
Considering taking the hugely expensive plunge, or at least try the 30day trial.

Problem being at the moment I dont have much time for the gym with travelling and time restrictions and just will power, plus gyms have barely any classes on.

I'm comparing the cheap setup options of using a cheap bike and an ipad for about £500, or going full on with peloton for about £2500. That's where the 30day trial could come in handy though, if I didnt think it was worth the price.

Any feedback will be appreciated, I know there's 2 massive sides to these, those that have them love them and those that just simply thing the price is outrageous.

Everybody's different so opinions will vary on this, like most things. I'm a bit of a cyclist and I find pedalling indoors dreadfully boring. I used to sell bikes and early versions of set ups like Peleton. Ok, if you can't get out for a proper ride , but just not the same. I find gyms boring too, but obviously many others don't.

Depends whether you're a 'serious' cyclist or prefer more of a spin class vibe IMO. If the former - better to buy a compatible turbo and use Zwift, huge community out there now and lots of people rave about it. If the latter - Peloton may be for you, although I personally find all the US-style enthusiasm of their presenters a bit annoying, not to mention the monthly fees...
