I keep eye balling this peleton for my wife and myself so that we can have something in the house besides the elliptical and treadmill. But the price on the peleton to me seems to be too costly for something that may not be used as much. I'm debating between the peleton and a rower. If you could rate your purchase on a scale of 1-10 what would you rate it or do you regret it in anyway?

why do yall have an elliptical!? WOAT cardio machine ever!

anyway, i don't have the peloton, i have the Keiser M3i - cost just as much, but i wanted the flexibility to use it with other biking apps. but i love having a spin bike and love Peloton's content - they have great instructors, hard classes, good music and lots of variety. I think it's worth getting the peloton, and they have a 30 day trial period so you can see if you like it enough to keep it.

the social aspect - leaderboards and achievements, plus metrics, plus content tends to make you want to use it - whether you're competing against friends or just trying to improve your output, you're able to track progress so that creates some stickiness. they have all sorts of rides from technical skills, to HIIT, to heavy climbs, to recovery, plus they have classes ranging from 10-90 mins so it's easy to fit a class in. like if you wanted to get 30 mins of cardio in, i don't see how you'd even contemplate hopping on your elliptical over doing a peloton class unless you simply hate spin or hate classes.

also not sure what other stuff yall are into, but they have strength, yoga, running, meditation, HIIT classes as well. i know you hit the gym, but maybe your wife would be into those.

so yea, i think it's worth it. conversely, you can buy a cheaper spin bike and sub to the app, you won't be able to track metrics in the app, but you can use 3rd party apps and things like a HRM and cadence sensor to track data. reddit has some good posts about DIY setups





Here's the playlist from a peloton ride I just took, who aint bout to get it in on the bike!

Peleton is a waste of money. Buy an Airbike and call it a day

Also a benefit of mxing Pre-Jym. I usually have two-three flavor on deck so even if I'm not mixing the same concoction I don't gt caught totally slipping.

So I started back after being lazy for damn near 3 weeks lol. Trying a new 4 day U/L split. More compound lifts less accessory ones. I’m gonna give myself like 2 weeks to work out the kinks in this plan as far as balancing the parts worked…. Then 12 weeks dieting and cardio I’m going in.

Prolly 75% of dudes in the gym need to be on this wave, especially if they're not stepping on stage.

This is the weigh(t)! :blessed:
