I would pause payment to pelaton... one day you’ll realise what a waste of money it was

[@annt7384]

@@jeremywestern7067 I personally love it, even more than when I first bought it. I don’t own a car, so this is the most I’ve ever spent on anything other than a mortgage. I don’t regret the decision at all. Not one little bit. I am a survivor of lifelong depression with debilitating fatigue and this is the easiest and almost fool-proof way for me to get enough exercise to not just stay well but thrive. I had 1000 reasons not to go to the gym on a busy day, but I don’t waste my time like that anymore when all I have to do is just sit on the bike and go.

Totally agree! I wish they at least threw in a few free months :)

Sarah - thank you for a well-constructed video. I really appreciated the way you explained your preference bias towards class-based training whilst delivering your final verdict. Congrats.

EASILY...Best, most fair review I've seen on YT to date. Somehow you are able to be "obsessed" with your Peloton, yet be critical bin all the areas that matter to the owner of such equipment. It was really awesome, great job. I'll be sure to like and share.

[@aa9025]

Great review from the perspective of a spin class aficionado. Most reviews and comparisons only cover test rides, thanks for waiting a bit before publishing. This isn't the review for hard core cyclists worried about watts or FTP, but for someone wondering what Peloton is about, you answered the questions. BTW, pedals can be replaced, and those thingies on the bottom of your shoes are called cleats. :-)

[@annt7384]

It’s kind of amazing how many people bought Peloton bikes without ever taking a spin class. Such is the power of spinning + word of mouth. I gained 60 lbs between my last spin class in the health club and buying a Peloton, so I’m still not at the level I once was, but I’m getting better all the time. I love being able to stack classes to customize my rides vs taking 1 longer ride. I also really love the auto resistance feature of bike + (a huge benefit if you have trouble hearing) and also the ability to change the audio levels to hear more instructor or music. Those 2 features completely changed the game for me and why I’ll never go back to the gym.

[@jaynecios]

Great video, I really enjoyed getting a true honest opinion. Just like everything you are going to have your pro and cons. I think you brought to light good solid concerns, but it sounds the pro out weights the cons. Thanks!

[@MissSarahEK]

[@MissSarahEK]

So glad you thought so! Thanks for watching 😊

[@FinancialCoachKirsis]

This is a great review. I've had the original bike for 3 years and love it. The reason why there are less of the other classes is because Peloton was originally just the bike. They later added the Tread and bootcamp classes and continued to add new features and class types not long before the pandemic started.

[@MissSarahEK]

Thanks Kirsis! And definitely a good point about the classes! Good news is they seem to be consistently adding to the non-cycling library 😊

I decided to go with the peloton original this Black Friday 2021. Tbh, I already owned a Garmin watch, and purchased the screen swivel from Amazon. It was was best $600-1000 I’ve ever saved on a bike. Definitely recommend anyone on the fence to go with the original, and use the money you would save on other home fitness equipment!

[@pupuslinger]

I agree, I got a used regular bike. I wanted the plus because of the auto feature, but having a few rides in now, the adjustments are just a quick turn and I am already getting the 5 and 10 adjustments down. I thought it would take me out of the workout but it is no biggie at all. Ordered the swivel and good to go...

Really good review; you're spot on about the wait times, they are long--I'm 12 weeks since ordering a Bike+ (delayed twice already), and won't be delivered for another 7 weeks. And a quick review of any social media will see that multiple delays (often without notification from Peloton) is all too common.

Super helpful review. I was wondering what all the hype was about and was looking for an honest unbiased review. This was great. I’ve already got an exercise bike and generally don’t enjoy classes. I’ll give their app a free trial and if I like it may subscribe but pretty sure I don’t need the bike especially considering I can’t incorporate my spotify, KZbin, netflix etc. That was pretty much a deal breaker for me.
