  • I've had my Peloton Bike since March 2020, and it's hands-down the best investment I've made for my home gym. The quality of the bike itself is top-notch. It's sturdy, smooth, and quiet. But what sets it apart is the incredible library of live and on-demand classes. The instructors are motivating and energetic, making every workout a fun experience. I love that I can choose from various classes, from beginner to advanced, and find something that fits my mood and fitness goals. The leaderboard feature adds an extra element of competition and keeps me returning for more. If you're looking for a high-quality indoor cycling bike that will keep you motivated and engaged, I highly recommend the Peloton.

  • When I think Peloton, I think pandemic. The two came into my life about the same time. We bought the Peloton, believing my partner and I would fight to see who got on first each day. Unfortunately, that was not our reality. Peloton has created a lifestyle fitness program that we can do at home. The workout videos were compelling and entertaining. A significant catalog of workouts is based on fitness level, ability, and strength. It is pleasantly competitive - competitive with oneself. Peloton has created a product that is easily to-based and has established user-friendly workouts; they have also created a niche that truly fits a loyal customer following. We both used ours for a couple of months, and then usage waned. Peloton had all the bells and whistles, but is unfortunately currently being used as a holding spot for laundry and dry cleaning.

  • I’ve had the bike+ for about 3 years and love it. The stats are great for keeping track of your performance. Rides are always entertaining and customizable for what you’re looking for that day. There are theme rides focusing on a particular artist, type of music or holiday and workout focused rides focused on a type of workout. Instructors have a sense of humor and might even give you a shoutout when it’s your birthday or when you hit a milestone. When you don’t feel like taking a class with an instructor there are scenic rides and a video game called lane break. Out of all of the spin bikes I’ve tried Peloton is by far the smoothest ride. I like the + version of the bike since it will automatically adjust the resistance on recorded rides. Besides cycling Peloton offers strength training, dance and yoga. This is where the ability to swivel the screen is very handy. The Peloton subscription allows you to add up to 12 accounts on the bike which will cover everyone in an average household (and then some).

  • Amazing. I ride the one at my apartment complex gym a few times every week. I absolutely love it and it’s super easy to sign up for an account!

  • The best investment ever, I have my bike for the past 4 years I just loveeeee and I have a lot of clothes too, they are pretty comfortable

  • Had one at work and loved it! I love spin classes but couldn't always make it so this was absolutely perfect. Even a 20-minute spin at lunch gave me a huge boost of energy.

  • Peloton has become my main source of cardio and strength training. The bike is incredibly high quality and the Peloton app provides a ton of class and program options from Pilates to Advanced Strength splits. I especially love the Bike Bootcamp classes, that incorporate strength and cycling into 30-60 minute sessions. Peloton also always has new surprises and beta programs coming out (i.e. This week they began beta-testing live stream entertainment, so I can watch movies and bike).

  • Bought the Peloton Bike in 2020 and so far nothing but good things to say. In-home delivery, easy set-up, great user interface, and product features. The bike itself is well-made, very sturdy, and just so aesthetically pleasing. It's really a piece of art. I was never into cycling/spin classes but Peloton has me hooked. It really helps to explore the different instructors because there are so many options, you are bound to find a few that fit with your ambitions and personality. Beyond cycling classes, the membership has many different class categories. I'm a sucker for the non-yoga stretching classes and core strength classes. Easily the membership provides more value than the monthly cost.

    No issues yet but the tablet the Bike uses is Android-based. After a year I have noticed a couple of glitches and slow-downs from time to time. It feels like the physical bike itself is going to outlast the tablet by a long shot and I'm worried about what replacing the screen/tablet will look like especially as Peloton releases newer versions of its products.

  • Ok, this is going to be a long one so bear with me. If my house was on fire, the item I would bring to take with me is my Peloton bike. Ignore the logistics of what that would entail because I would figure it out since that is how much the Peloton bike has changed my life. My health journey has been an ongoing rollercoaster for years. I truly thought working out was something I would never enjoy. During college, I was introduced to soul cycle and I finally found a workout that I looked forward to but it is really expensive so as a college student it was hard to justify the price. Fast forward to the pandemic where we are stuck inside our homes and I probably was the least active I've been in ages. I was so overwhelmed in how I would be able to incorporate more movement into my day in a way that I would actually enjoy and therefore be able to sustain. I have been eyeing the brand for years and I even joined a Peloton Facebook group to see if it is worth the investment. Eventually, I bite the bullet and I wish I bought it sooner!!! I have never in my LIFE consistently worked out as much as I do with Peloton. What I love the most...... (+) The instructors are truly the brand. You cannot tell me Cody Rigsby and Alex Toussaint are not my best friends. I hang out with them (aka workout) every week. I see them more than I see my actual friends (sad but true). Sometimes even if I don't necessarily feel like working out because I am feeling lazy, I just tell myself it will be fun to catch up with Cody or Alex since they are so funny and I enjoy how they personalize their classes. They are sneaky challenging in the BEST WAY. I have never had so much fun while dripping in sweat before. They truly scout the best people for instructors, they deserve all the success. (+) Wide range of classes to meet everyone where they are in their fitness journey. If you are looking for a challenge and are a CrossFit type of person, there are classes for you. Or if you haven't worked out in ages (like myself) and do not want anything intimidating, they even have walking classes. Yes, that is right, classes where all you do is WALK. Truly there is no excuse to not get movement in your day with Peloton. I also love their mediations. I know this was long, so if you made it to this point, I applaud you. I truly love their brand and it is the only expense that when I see on my bank statement, I truly do not even care because it is so worth it. The joy I feel in finally feeling confident and having hope in my fitness journey is priceless. Thank you Peloton for all the joy, laughs, and soreness you have brought into my life!

  • I started working out with Peloton around the time of the pandemic. They now how a rent and/or rent to own program for those who find it to pricey to pay at one time. I think that’s cool of them. Also there is an app with tons of at home workouts for you to use. Even if you do not own the bike. They make working out so convenient.

  • The bike is so convenient for anyone looking to do a workout from home. The downside is the $45 monthly full access subscription. Without the subscription the bike is just a bike. I love how motivating each class. I almost always complete each session breaking a sweat.

  • I am obsessed with the bike, the app, and the community. I honestly think that Cody Rigsby is my personal friend now. 🔥take ... it has made me faster and better at pacing on my actual road bike. Great for a 20 min or 60 min workout. I also love the core and yoga classes. Peloton has done such an amazing job building instructors brand and expertise

    We had to have support come and put on new pedals since the clips were broken

  • Peloton saved me from the pandemic and I’m still riding and using most of their platforms. Although I have the regular bike, it still does what I need it to do. With over 4600 cycle classes, 5-90 min rides are available, scenic rides and just ride and listen to your own playlists. A multitude of instructors whether you take a live class or on demand…there is something for everyone, whether it’s Pilates or Barre, Yoga, Core, Weightlifting, Cardio, Meditation and more. Easily connects with my Apple Watch.

  • I've had a first-gen peloton for about 6 years now and am satisfied overall. Things I love: - Instructors like Alex Toussaint, Rad Lopez, and Adrian Williams - Tracking and gamification elements - Convenient, but a good workout - Variety of classes outside of cycling

    Feedback

    Things that I wish were better: - Heart rate tracking is lacking - Integration w/Apple Watch is wonky - Hard to clean bike - Adjusting the handlebars and seats is a pain; I have an earlier model and it gets jammed half the time I try to adjust it

  • If I could give bigger than 5 stars I would. I have been a member for over 6 years. This company has changed my life. It has helped me in more then my fitness journey. The array of trainers they have is remarkable. They each bring something different which you can utilize depending on your mood. I have really connected to quite a few. They are all friends in my head. Kendall especially! Robyn too. Also Alex and Ben, and Ally.. do you get my point. I have had a bike since the start of my journey with this company. I did get a tread but returned it when they were recalled and have not re purchased. But the membership allows you to use the app as well. It provides so many different things for you to do. Its constantly giving amazing new content and I cannot be happier with it.

    Feedback

    I don't have much true negative, I will say I miss my original bike. I upgraded to a Bike + when they came out and had to have it fixed multiple times. They actually swapped it out 2 times. It also seems to change calibrations often so what I can do one day seems much harder or much easier a week later after an update. The tred was incredible but returned it upon recall. I purchased a much cheaper treadmill right away. Its been doing the job while I use the app. I wish they made them more cost effective. I would love get the new rower but again its almost 4k and I cannot see paying that.

  • My mom took the plunge and rented a Peloton bike to help her and I get back into shape after having my brother. The classes are extremely fun and I love that you can even view the playlist that the instructors will use before taking the class (music really makes a difference when working out). We even purchased the shoes that clip onto the pedals which I thought was great because usually when I cycle my feet tend to slip and I hurt myself. We only used it for a few months but we’d purchase one fully once we find a room to put one in. It was a overall an exciting product to use, and I loved how loud it was as well!

  • I joined the club if people that bought their Peloton during the Covid shutdown. I had always been against at home workouts but knew I would lose my mind if I didn’t do something while stuck at home. I quickly realized I could easily fit in a quick workout anytime I wanted and fell in love with my Peloton. The unexpected benefit was how much I loved all the non biking classes as well. I’ve done yoga and Pilates for years and these classes hold up to all the studio classes I’ve taken. I recently moved across country and didn’t take much, but I made sure my Peloton came with me!

  • I got my Peloton back in 2020 during the midst of the pandemic and it helped both my physical and mental health. I average about 3 workouts/week which consists of either a Peloton ride or a Peloton workout that I follow along in our gym. What I love about Peloton is its inclusivity and how it's literally like attending a therapy session with your favorite therapist. I always feel empowered after every workout! It's been 3 years and I've kept my bike and my subscription because it brings me so much joy. All of the instructors are AMAZING and I definitely recommend trying all of the workouts that are offered.

    If you want to workout with a community that is inclusive and motivating in all of the ways, Peloton is the best investment for both your mental and physical health!

  • Had my peloton since it was first released.

    Feedback

    Used my peloton religiously for the first year I had it. Then newer versions started coming out with festers mine did not have… was a bit bummed but did not stop my fitness journey. Favorites include yoga classes and rides with Alex Toussaint. 🤪😍

  • We have the original bike. We ordered it during the pandemic and experienced crazy delays in receiving. It's also gone down in price several times since we bought it, which was frustrating. However -- it's ready to use right away. It's easy to use. The classes are many and the instructors have their own followings. We had never cycled before and found it to have a learning curve that was well worth figuring out.

    Feedback

    I'm sure some of my complaints have been improved on Bike+ -- the original bike is not as easy to adjust as I would like as a two-person household where we need to adjust it each time to suit our needs (a 5' person and a 5'7" person).
