The HONEST Truth about Peloton after 300+ Rides

The HONEST truth about my Peloton Bike after 2 years and 350+ rides. We attempt to give a 2 year review of our experience with Peloton. We've had the Peloton Bike as well as the Peloton Bike+. We know there's a stigma that goes along with owning a Peloton product but in general if a Peloton product will get you to exercise then we think that Peloton is worth it. The Peloton is not likely to motivate you to exercise but the Peloton is very motivating once you're on the bike.

The Peloton bike gives you No Excuses. If your having a hard time walking into your living room to jump on the bike for 30 minutes then you have even bigger issues. The convenience of the bike is next level.

I actually brought up the concern about support and software to Peloton before purchasing my bike. Now granted this was from a peloton rep, but they said that the software is the same across the board for both bikes, and that the same software updates that are pushed to the Bike+ are pushed to the regular Bike. So there shouldn’t be a concern about the bike model you have not being supported anytime soon or at all for that matter. The only hardware difference performance wise on the bikes is that the Bike+ has faster RAM. The only way I could see there being a support issue is if the regular bike ram couldn’t handle updates at some point, but that isn’t likely. Hence the reason you see in some of these comments that some people have had their bikes for years. That was my main concern and reason for not buying one until now. Mine arrives this week.

In the Uk Jan 23 they are having a sale and the standard bike is £1,145-00 including delivery and set up. The price is still £39.00 a month as well. But I will check with the site as to when the price will rise.

I totally agree. I did CrossFit, paid extra on top of my family gym membership. When Covid hit, we bought the bike and a bunch of gym equipment. Have not gone back to the gym since, and have had better results (and it actually saves money). I love the variety of classes. It even got me into yoga, which is something I would have never done at the gym.I love my Peloton.

@philevans6235 9 ай бұрын

@@shywhispers1 I don’t think I have better results I’d probably say there not comparable. Before I had managed to get the odd muscle up, I could squat, deadlift heavy etc and move. Now it’s pure cardio running or biking mainly and no comparable weights. I love it tho, I think people go through different seasons in life. The other option would be to do street parking but living in the uk I don’t have a garage never mind a double one.

Two thing to add: 1 You can have several (10 i think) users under that one subscription. 2 If you also have the tread there is no additional added to the monthly fee. 6 months in nearly 400 rides for me, 175 for my wife and @20 runs in (I've had the tread for @ a month) and a total of @1200 workouts (between wife and i) for $@45 per month is pretty cheap compared to my wife's YMCA $75 per month membership.

I have had my bike for 8 years and the only upgrade I did to it was the screen. Actually really surprised they support the tablets as long as they do and that it continues to work as well as it does. To me the biggest con is the rusting issues. Even with that though my 8 year old bike still works great. Super good product for sure. The instructors are awesome like you said.

"Australia tax" is crazy, we pay twice as much as the Americans for just about everything, our living costs are 10th highest in the world and our housing prices are 2nd highest in the world (on the plus side Australia has a higher standard of living than America). If Pelaton prices get really crazy maybe try searching "How to Load Zwift or TrainerRoad on a Peloton Bike: A Geek’s Guide"...

You obviously don’t know what the fucc you’re talking about. When you get the all access Peloton membership? That one membership price covers everyone of their products and they now have four products that you can choose from and still only use one membership. No other company does that! They either have one price for one product and it’s usually more than what Peloton is charging for the all access. Stop lying to yourself. take Tonal for example. They have the same exact one machine that they created six years ago. Nothing new, nothings upgraded, but they’ve raised the price by $1000 and increased the membership 20% if you want to choose a gym membership over what Peloton offers? That’s your decision to make. But don’t be trying to make it seem like, it’s a better choice when you have to pay for gas and drive away from your home to Exercise, not to mention, possibly even waiting for certain machines to be able to use them because of the overcrowding. Peloton is embarking on smart Home Gym systems to alleviate the hack and hustle of you having to go elsewhere. If you can’t see the affordability in that? Then stop complaining and take your ass to a gym and leave us smarter people who can see the benefits of Peloton Membership and Products way better than you? Thanks.

Full disclosure: If you don’t like riding a bike, do NOT buy a Peloton. Extremely expensive, then monthly expense and a sore ass after each ride. Want to stare at a screen and pretend you’re riding a bike there? If these are so great, why can’t I sell it for $500 when they are $3000 new? Literally can’t give it away….the number of Pelotons up for sale is staggering. The stock was at $168 now at $3. It isn’t what they say it is. If it was great, why can you now rent them? 🤷‍♂️

@Clankillas 4 ай бұрын

Your perturbed. Your choice of upgrading was purely your decision to make, and Peloton steel utilizes the capabilities of the original peloton bike! Simply saying that Peloton is no longer going to support their devices Ludacris. They, like any other company has every right to introduce new options, upgrades, and, new products. But I have yet to see Peloton not support any of their old products and we never will.
