    I would almost be convinced if it wasn’t for the absurdly large monthly subscription on top of a premium product.

    • +1

      Indeed. About the same as a basic gym membership!

      • Literally the point. It’s aimed at people spending 60-100 a month on spin classes.

  • +9

    The guide strength starter pack is also a good deal if you pick the 3 heaviest weight sets.

    I own a bike+ and a guide and it’s been the best thing I’ve done for my health. It’s the only exercise I’ve wanted to do and have done consistently.

    Down 10kg from when I started, resting heart rate is much lower, vo2 max is climbing. I can even jog a full 5km now. I’m very happy .

    For me the $59pm is worth it.

    If you sign family and friends into the bike even just the once, they can share your subscription via the apps.

    • How much time do you spend a day on it ?

      Also is it just the community aspect that makes it more engaging than a normal exercise bike ?

      • +10

        On the bike, between 35 minutes and an hour a day depending on the class + warm up and cool down. On the guide, usually 20 minutes but sometimes 10 if it's just core work. Then 30 minute dog walk every afternoon, and park run every saturday. I was a couch potato before getting my bike and becoming addicted to exercise (at my own pace).

        There's 4 things I think that have kept me engaged with it. First is there's instructor personalities for everyone so if you don't gel with one you have heaps of others, and thousands of classes on demand to keep you going. Second is the gamification of exercise. Many people aren't into it, but I'm a big sucker for badges and achievements and they push me to go further and that's helped me a lot. Third is the community. The leaderboard is full of high fives and friendly competition, but beyond that I've joined a Facebook Group of Australian riders and we all do live rides together, we participate in each others milestone rides, we do a secret Santa every year, I find it really nice to be part of something like that. Fourth is the convenience. I jump out of bed and straight onto the bike - I don't have to drive to a gym, and I don't have to deal with the weather. I do my strength classes during my lunch break. I like I how I can exercise on my own terms, without the hassle of driving to a gym or dealing with humid/sticky/hot/wet weather.

        Also, I'm big into the power zone training and I found that learning that on the bike transferred to running which was a nice surprise. So being able to go jogging with my brother once a week is a good way to catch up with him.

        I haven't tried iFit so I couldn't compare with that, but I have tried Apple Fitness and it is totally soulless compared to Peloton classes. I haven't tried an iPad with the Peloton app on a normal bike either, but I can't see why that wouldn't work if you can work out the cadence/resistance levels.

          Thanks mate, that's super helpful and sounds really nice :)

          Might take the plunge for Christmas

      Down 10kg from when I started

      That's impressive! Good on ya mate.

      • Thanks mate!

    How putting an Ipad on a bike resulted in a $50B company, is one of covid's greatest mysteries.

    • Money doesn't buy sense - not in the stock market, not with Pelaton's customers.

    • +1

      humans are sheep.

    • +2

      It's the same with Rav4s and all new ICE cars for that matter.
      fake iPad on the dashboard, boom, $15k covid tax!

    • +3

      People like communal exercise, not traveling to the gym and gamification of exercise.

      It seems pretty clear why this is a successful product to me.

      • +1

        didn't they go bankrupt?

    • +2

      They are not 50b, they are on the way out.
      3.57b to be exact.

      • +4

        I'd be wary about buying an expensive bike with a subscription to a flakey company.

  • +1

    do i look like im on a dentists salary?

    • +2

      No, but I reckon you could sell a fancy lounge suite.

  • +2
  • +1

    Can you buy it without subscription or cancel subscription after a month? Just trying to understand if it’s like a contract?

    • Yes, you do not need the subscription. That being said; without it, you are best to just buy a standard exercise bike. You lose more than half the features without the subscription.

      • +1

        What quality spin bikes are in this price range though? The peloton is a quality bike and looks great. The Schwinn IC8 is a common alternative people recommend, but that is around $1400. You might try pick up a used keiser spin bike for $1500+. If people are in the market for a decent spin bike, this is a deal worth considering.

        • Yesoul S3 is a great value option provided you are under 6' in height and can also live with a short crank length on the pedals. You want the model with just the tablet holder, not a built-in screen. Then you can run any fitness app of your choice on an old iPad, and use the third-party QZ app to read FTMS data from the bike.

        • Can vouch for Keiser, great quality. Picked up a second-hand one about 10 years ago and it's still as good as ever

  • +2

    I have a peloton and am a big fan, the concern is though will this company be around in the future?

    • Might be bought out by Nike for pennies on the dollarydoo.

    • +3

      I am not worried about them not being around in the future, the subscription model is pure money making that they won't ever shutdown completely, if it got so bad that they will sell to one of the big companies. Amazon, google, apple etc.

  • +1

    isnt this company going bankrupt?

    • Yes, since Covid lockdowns have finished its been a nasty run for them.

  • What would people recommend as an alternative? Smart and non smart options.

    • +2

      Tacx/Wahoo smart trainer & Zwift or similar. Especially if you are doing it with more of a cycling focus rather than a general fitness focus.

    • You can pick up a non-PTON bike (we have an Echelon, but a Schwinn IC8 or one of the horizon models works for ‘smart’, or plenty of lifespan/Chinese options for dumb) and then pair it with either a peloton digital or apple fitness sub.

      Both are around the same price - my wife likes the peloton one which is more cycle focused, I have a free apple fitness one and it’s pretty fun for my rest days. Trainers on both are pretty engaging, peloton had a much deeper library but apple fitness is more polished and integrates with all your iWatch2.0 and etc.

    Peloton bike, at over $2k, doesn't have auto-adjust resistance??

    What's the point?

    You have to go to the Peloton Bike+ for that feature, at over $3k outlay…

    that's crazy! To me that's the killer feature. What am I missing on the standard Peloton bike?

  • +3

    We have a Bike+ and a Guide. The $59 sub isn't quite as bad when it gets used daily by multiple family members. The current deal on the Guide package (with the mat and 3 weights) is an excellent deal. Didn't post it as most on ozb don't seem to be fans.

    It was a bit of a financial investment, but how it was able to engage us to workout daily (from 2-3 times a week previously), and the health benefits it has brought us, is totally worth it. If you are huge into stats and watching yourself improve with each workout, and training different areas according to the body activity tracker (which works best with the Guide), then I'd recommend making use of the free trial period and giving it a go.

  • Forgot to mention a change in exercise routine works best also in conjunction with a change in diet (food logging) and sufficient sleep. This website gives a good indication of personal (e.g., cut, maintain, and bulk) calorie goals - https://tdeecalculator.net/

  • Does anyone know if there are any VR apps which work with any of these bikes?
    Ie. Quest 2

    • +2

      Thinking sweat and VR headset wouldn't be a good match

      • That's exactly why current VR tech is not yet mixed with exercise apps. It'll come. Just not yet. It's like how you don't use big over-ear headphones when exercising, you use earbuds. Needs to get down to a size where it's like wearing sunglasses.

    • +2

      Peloton itself seems like a closed ecosystem but there are quite a few VR options for the generic more open smart bike/smart trainer platform. I looked into them recently after getting a Kickr but am sticking with zwift for now.

    • As @emm2600x noted Peloton is a closed ecosystem and a very bad idea if you want to experiment with anything that Peloton does not supply. It's not compatible with anything other than a Peloton subscription. The main solution for people who want gamified online cycling that works with anything is a turbo trainer like the Wahoo Kickr (with your own bike on it) or a smart bike like the Kickr Bike. By far the main (high population) app used with those is Zwift, though there are rivals like Rouvy, TrainerRoad and Fulgaz.

  • Pity it’s not $800 off just the bike, rather than the packages

    • +1

      The items that come in the packages are good quality, and most are necessary, such as the shoes, workout mat, and heart rate band. Just FYI if you buy non-peloton shoes separately, like Nike Superreps for instance, the cleats will be an additional purchase.

      The cheapest "Bike Premier" package ($1745) is still cheaper than the bike itself ($2145)!

  • this or RENPHO AI Smart Exercise Bike? The RENPHO comes for 800 bucks (on Amazon), supports the Peloton app and also has automatic resistance

  • +1

    There is no point doing Peloton on the Renpho because it is not a proper spin bike. It will feel more like a bike on the cardio floor of the gym than one in the studio. In particular, you won't be able to do standing climbs against load without destroying your knees (no support from the flywheel).

    If you are after a Peloton / studio spin experience look into the Yesoul, which should go for less than the Renpho. It's a smallish but great value spin bike. It lacks auto resistance, but so does the basic Peloton.

    You only care about auto resistance if you are doing power zone training. For that, it's more important to have accurate power metering, which the Renpho lacks (lacking in accuracy).
