After I tried soul cycle for an entire month, I really liked cycling! Now that I'm at home all the time, I decided to buy a peloton bike and try it for 30 days and see how it works for plus size fitness & workouts. But my 30 day transformation trying the peloton bike isn't about weight loss- it's about strength & how I feel.

Hi Sierra I put a link in the comments to help you with the Broadway classes, and realized that most of the Broadway ones were out of date (although there are some Disney ones).

This was the BEST review on ANY item I have ever watched/listened to...EVER!!! I couldn't stop watching and I absolutely loved your honesty regarding cost, health, how, why, period days (it's not taboo to talk about), and the end results! Thank you! I WILL not be getting a Peloton - only because I already have a road bike worth about the same amount as the Peloton and I clip it into a trainer during the cold weather seasons. But you're the ONLY person that advise on getting just the membership for the classes on my phone! I haven't heard anyone discuss that yet! I'd love to try something like that to get and keep me motivated. I also have double knee injuries and it's been really scary for me to take that leap of faith and get back into my workout - bike or otherwise; but your video helped me tremendously! Thank you!

[@biteme3470]

I have the same set up as you and use the Peloton app. I have a knee injury as well and it has been amazing to have a great workout that doesn't hurt my knee! 🥳 hope it has worked out for you too!

fun fact: "peloton" is finnish word and it means like fearless

It’s also a word in French that means « pack » in a cycling race. The middle pack is a peloton

In a bike race like the Tour de France, the Peloton is the main group of cyclists. There can be people ahead or off the back, but the group with the most of the participants is the Peloton.

[@KatieJohnsonVlogs]

As a fitness professional, I love how much exploration you did as far as classes vs no class, skipping some days, giving it a go even when you didn’t want to... this is what I hope for all of my clients and connections I work with! If exercise isn’t fun and enjoyable, it’s not something you’ll stick to or want to go back to. And it’s so fun to have a way of movement that gets you excited! It adds such value to your life in many ways. I hope others, even if they don’t buy a bike, use this method of exploration of movement inspired by what you’ve done! I’m so happy they got away from body cues as well, that’s something most professionals are going through in our continuing education. (Hopefully most are anyway!)

[@darrelmyer935]

We tackled assembling the bike as a family project. kzbin.infoUgkxzg0clhbtRf2gGxPkVETFKJJKGqdsorQu The package is heavy, but I have 2 teen boys that were able to move it. The written instructions were great- we didn't need to watch the videos, but it was good knowing that the option was there if we needed it. After we were able to get it set up, the boys each rode 3 miles and I rode 8 and the bike stayed quiet. The display is easy to reset, and you can put it on whichever setting you are using (time, distance, calories, etc). I will say that my butt is a little sore from the seat, but that could be because I haven't rode in a while. While it is comfortable for me, it was not comfortable with the seat position for my friend (could not move the seat back far enough and he slightly looked like a kid riding a tricycle that he had outgrown). He also said that the seat hurt his manly parts. We are going to look for a different seat that will be compatible with this bike for him.I did purchase the Wahoo Cadence sensor and strapped it to the crank of one of the pedals. This will sync with my Apple Watch, iPhone and will import data in to my Health app. Wahoo does have other sensors available other than cadence. I can also keep either my phone or my iPad on the display and they both feel pretty secure.

Thank you so much Sierra! 💕💕💕

Congratulations on your new home. Did you get the bike and how are you liking it?

[@lauramaq03]

I’ve had mine for four years and absolutely LOVE it! I recently started power zone training and really like that way of training in addition to the regular classes. Yes it’s expensive, but if you love cycling classes, it is absolutely worth it. Keep in mind the cost is set for the household so if you have multiple people (I’m not sure how many people you can have in one household account) in your house using it, the price per person per ride is even cheaper. Great video!

I am so happy I did not look at the length of the video before I clicked on it. I may have not watched it if I had realised it so long, but I am so glad I did! You gave so much more to the video than "I tried a fade fitness program at home for 30 days and here are the results". I really like the way you structured everything with commentary every day that you used it detailing how you felt before or after the work outs and what program you chose. The hardest thing for me if working out on my period because, like you, I have been told it makes you feel better and I just refuse to believe it so I always take the week off and find it soooooooo hard to get back into the swing of exercising after the break. Now that you tried it I am defo not going to make an excuse not to at least try. Also really liked your in depth analysis at the end with pros and cons and the financial breakdown of cost per use because that is so important to consider before making a huge financial purchase. Well done on making a very valuable video for your audience!!!

My husband and I considered the peloton but purchased the Assault Fitness Airbike Elite instead. We were not interested in having to wear cycling shoes and the subscription was also something we found it difficult to get behind.

It's funny cause this video, just confirmed for me to get a regular spin bike. I work at a fitness studio and do our cycle classes often.

Christine D’Ercole is often overlooked as an instructor but ABSOLUTELY worth checking out. She’s very encouraging and body positive and gives some great wisdom without being preachy.

Also side note I think there’s a Hamilton ride out there by Robin I believe

For my highly anxious peeps who’ve put off exercising because it causes them anxiety: cycling literally saved my life. I have really bad social anxiety due to my anxiety disorder and depression. I’ve been cycling for seven months now and still have my social anxiety days. But it’s a great way to exercise ownership of your thoughts and feelings rather than the other way around. Having the community at my local studio helped me build confidence, stamina, motivation to wake up at 4:30am and hop on a bike, and overall just helped me become a healthier person inside and out. I have an indoor bike at home too for when I want to keep pushing myself but the studio experience is addicting. You work as one team with no one judging you but rather you all motivating each other. I hope my experience as well as Sierra’s thoughts encourage you to give it a try.

[@colleenr2]

Can you help me understand why exercise induces anxiety for people? Is it more so the thought of others watching them at the gym?

[@Sdlonra]

Colleen R yes especially if you’re a bigger person

I don't think I'd spend this much money on a stationary bike anytime soon but this video was somehow still so entertaining lol. I watched it all the way to the end, I also loved the bit where you were singing to bohemian rhapsody hahaha

I've been a Peloton user for 2 years and this is such a great and thorough review that nails it!

[@loril2466]

That was one of the best and most comprehensive reviews I have ever seen. Well done!

[@JamieBearFancyPants]

I used a pelaton bike in a hotel gym once and fell in love. I almost bought the bike but instead bought a cheaper bike and used the iPhone app. You do get the live classes and the backlog through the computer and I have the app on my smart TV as well. Its been a wonderful thing when my gym was closed and I still love it now.

[@anag7376]

JamieBearFancyPants oh cool which bike did you get ? How’s your experience so far ?

[@JamieBearFancyPants]

Ana G truthfully any stationary bike will do the trick if you’re willing to fiddle with the numbers they shout out on the pelaton bike. I got a sunny health bike on amazon for a little over $200 at the time!

[@JamieBearFancyPants]

Ana G it’s been great! I missed the gym very very much because there are things there that I just can’t get at home but it’s been able to give me an amazing workout nonetheless. One 30 minute class can burn 400 cals no problem if you put in the work!

This was a great assessment of the peloton. I can’t believe I made it to the end of video but I did! Super cute, engaging and helpful. Great athletic wear, too! I already decided on the peloton but your guidance will help me craft a beginner ride program. Thank you!

[@katiebrooks3103]

I watched your whole video! I have wanted a Peloton for years now and finally bought one yesterday but it wont be delivered for 7 weeks!! Your video got me very excited for buying the bike!! You are so happy and peppy!!! So motivating!!

I love this sponsorship. . . Literal proof that you use honey in your daily life.

[@brennahoran7349]

Side note: The peloton takes specific clips for their bike.. not all bikes are the same.. just fyi if you are looking to purchase, I cycle often and different bikes have different clips!

[@Pacidy123]

i think they do it, so you have to purchase theyer shoes (extra money)

[@madelinebeitel7150]

I have a peloton and my husband uses it with another brand’s cycling shoes, it works just fine 👌 But he went to a cycling store to buy them so maybe they pointed him toward shoes that would fit the peloton

[@brennahoran7349]

Madeline Beitel yeah that’s what I meant. Like the peloton has a specific clip for their bike. You can def purchase your own, but I just meant that not every clip will work with the peloton! Like I have SPD clips and they aren’t compatible. Can you switch out the pedals? Hopefully he got them cheaper and saved some coin!🙌🏻

[@louise4882]

You can change clips on shoes usually and you can also change the pedals on the peloton. The clips in the peloton are the same as the ones used at soulcycle, flywheel, etc. So like i have soucycle shoes and I can use them on peloton. They're called Delta clips and you can buy them on amazon for a few bucks. The other clips, what most gyms have, are SPD clips, and a lot of bikes (inclding soulcycle) have double sided pedals so you can use both, peloton does not but it's super easy to change clips on most shoes, and it's apparently not hard to change pedals on the peloton either.

[@oliviarobertson474]

@@Pacidy123 not true, just a specific type of clip. Other bikes use the same type of pedal. Just one type of clip over another.

[@willtenilleatchison8742]

I have watched several video reviews about the Peloton bike and I really enjoyed yours. I had already ordered mine before watching your video and it will be delivered Wednesday next week. I am excited to get started and hoping it will help my endurance for my runs that I enjoy, but that my knees do not. I have a few friends that own one and they have raved about it. Your video made me feel like I made the right choice and it is definitely an investment. Thank you for all of your honesty. Keep up the self care.

I know you just spent all this money on your Peloton, but if possible, I'd love to see you try, review, and recommend some budget friendly options for exercycles!
