    Peloton Bike

    Great for moms

    Overall Experience:

    I am a new mom and can't find time to get to the gym anymore, but needed a way to get back in shape. Peloton Cycle has been an amazing investment. I can get in a quick workout when my baby is sleeping without having to find childcare, travel to the gym, and get there early to make sure I get a spot in class. I used to love SoulCycle and Flywheel and this gives you the same high quality experience right at home.

    I darken the room and put on headphones and it feels like I am really in the class. If you went to one of these boutique classes only two times per week at $35 per class, that's $3,500 in just one year. With Peloton Cycle, although it's a large upfront investment, it actually can save you money over time, especially since you can have unlimited riders in your household (my husband and I both cancelled our gym memberships).

    The iOS app is included with your subscription, so when I travel for work I can still do a class in my hotel gym. They also now have Beyond the Ride workouts like Yoga which you can cast to your TV if you want a break from spinning one day.

    I researched buying a cheaper bike and just using the app, but if you want a high quality, quiet stationary bike with magnetic resistance (which gives the smooth, quiet ride), you will end up paying $2K anyway, and that doesn't include the giant tablet that the Peloton bike comes with. If you ever decide to cancel the subscription, the tablet still has a few demo rides and still tracks your metrics.

    If you pay for a 2-year subscription up front, you get three months free, and if you use a referral link, you get another two months free on top of that. Here is my referral link: https://www.pelotoncycle.com/r/?rc=a00a03287cfa49da89e3169a559fba3d.

    Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
