Because America is shyt. Subscriptions models are coming for everything.

You have to pay Toyota $8 a month to use the remote start feature that you already paid for when bought the car.
Can you get an automatic start installed on that Toyota?

My thing is I can build a whole damn home gym for $2500. Cardio machines, free or mechanical weights, punching bags, etc for that price. I think it’s more of the fact that people don’t actually know the value of things they buy.

Maybe I shouldn’t be so technical, but a couple motors, pulleys, belts, digitizers, and plastic housing dont cost anywhere near $1000, let alone $2500. People are out here paying for brand names and hype nowadays.
But you are assuming that what you would do is best and what others want. For a lot of people it’s a great piece of equipment that provides benefits.

My girl has the tread, it’s a good piece of equipment, allows you to work out on your schedule, in climate control and the content is really good. I wouldn’t buy it but I have a subscription through her and from a cardio perspective it’s actually enjoyable.

Broke Coli knee grows always have to TRY to make people feel bad about spending money because they can’t :russ:.

Anyway, I got the Peloton bike when COVID first hit and everything was closed. I actually started with the app and using a bike in my office’s gym and I loved it. A couple months later the shutdown happened and me and the wife decided to buy one. It is worth it for sure.

Jump rope>treadmill

Love to jump rope but havent been able to for months because my sciatica nerve on my left leg is fukked up where I can't jump without my leg hurting like hell as well as my feet being flat footed. Having to work through the exhaustion and pain is an exercise itself

We have the bike since my wife really wanted it. It’s an impressive piece of equipment. Peloton did a good job.

I have heavy bags, jump rope, kettlebells, battle ropes, dip stand, slam balls, etc.

The peloton is a good change of pace. Easy on the knees

Anybody ever drive around and see those Peloton installation trucks before outside someones home? I feel that even the company is kind of making a statement about purchasing its product like "you got money". It's like :hubie: I'm good. That's some class statement shyt that's for clout chasing or showing off your income bracket. You kind of getting robbed blind just like noratrack I cringed when I heard Nas saying that shyt like it was cool in one of his recent albums.
