- The Peloton Bike is the entry-level hardware for the widely popular Peloton service, but is it worth the hype surrounding it, and is its eye-watering price tag justified?

The best Peloton review I’ve seen. No clue how it hasn’t gotten more views.
Watching this while waiting for my peloton bike..This is a great insight ! Thank you.
This really is the best Peloton review I've seen. And I'm a cynic also.
What a well thought out review. I just have the app and I am blown away by the service. Your comments hit home.
I've watched a lot of reviews as I'm considering now purchasing a peloton, this is by far the most straightforward (and therefore best). Thanks 👍
Felt like I just watched Simon amstall review a peloton but your review was absolutely mustard 👌well done 👏
For me - it is worth the money. It is so much motivation with the bike. But I have 2 not so good points ... ball bearing problems after some months - and the support was really very slow and I had to ask and write a lot of times.
Is that due to the overpriced nature of the bike itself, or is it because you overpay for their shitty service?
great review!! I appreciate the break down of pros and cons! ive ordered one last week, but then started to have second thoughts as im not sure im comfortable being locked into only peloton... in a years time I may want to do something else. so I feel I can't use the bike for other things... if the screen allowed me to view other things / apps id be more sure on my purchase. im going to try it for 30 days and see how I feel... but im leaning into trying something else.
I was thinking the same thing, but a friend of mine added a tablet/phone holder to hers so she can do Apple fitness+ and RUclips spinning when she doesn't want to do a Peloton class. I'm thinking of doing the same once my bike arrives.
@@NSP2135 The classes are only worth it if you are a sheep, so that's a good way to go.
Hi, what did you decide to do after the 30 day trial? I'm genuinely interested
@@NSP2135 So I got my bike 2 weeks ago and I love it. I do a session over zoom once a week with a friend who is a fitness instructor and I use the just ride function so the bike records all of my stats for the ride. I also have les mills on demand and so I could do a trip class or one of their spin classes and record my stats on tte Peloton bike . I love my bike. Hope yiu are getting on well with yours.
I loved your intelligent and cohesive review of all that is Peloton. I subscribed too! Looking forward to seeing what ese you have made video's on 😁
This is the best review I've seen. Thank you. I'm considering getting the bike+ but I'm a beginner exerciser, and hesitant to buy but like the "cult" feeling.
I started out my peloton experience with a cheap sunny fitness bike & an ipad. Once I proved to myself I was going to commit to the workout I bought the bike. Now off to ride with Cody or Alex. I'll do a coin flip to decide.
Hi, are you gkad you got a peloton bike? Has it made a big difference to you?
I have a qality spin bike and the app which I use through Sky plus on a large tv. I am a bit tempted to go to the peloton plus bike for the added metrics and the precise resistance and zone metrics. I'm 50/50 and don't know what I should do. I love peloton. The content is outstanding. Is having their bike worth the monthly cost ontop of the bike cost?
The gym and my work place has a few peletons and I actually tried it out and enjoyed the classes. My question is; how do you experienced riders deal with the seat? my butt was literally aching after. can you change for a bigger more padded seat?
does it comes with discipline? thats the app I need to install to work out more, that's something to consiser if you buy something like this
Lol
That's another $25/month :)
@@MakeUseOf that for sure will do, if you pay, you better feel the responsibility of making worth your money
A1 Review!!! “Focus driven in a world full of distractions” #Bars
Great video review
With today's prices for rides and strength exercises, which bike would you recommend? greetings from Germany
They personalize the experience "Come on Pelo-ton?"
who is he and is there not other RUclips videos by him?
Very helpful video in detail, I am a ux researcher assistant who is looking for user feed back from Peloton bikes, I wounder if you or anyone in the chat would be Interested for a one hour interview section with £100 reward voucher. Please let me know, thank you.
If it's android then it's easy to side load apps on it .
Does anyone know if you can use apple fitness with this bike?
of course you can, the apple fitness app runs without specific levels the instructors there say push it to medium resistance or push it a little more... if you go to peloton app on the bike go to "just ride" which is free to see the metrics to get a gauge of your levels...
I bought this bike thinking I could use the "just ride" feature, but find that the only way you can use this bike is by signing on to an expensive (for me) membership. The Peloton bike is totally useless to me now, and I use it mostly as a clothes hanger! Anyone wants to buy my Peloton? I can let you have it for cheap!
If you're not gonna use the membership why wouldn't you just buy a much more affordable bike? The whole point of Peloton is the membership
@@conner_productions I agree
wow, turns out the peloton bike is as I thought, lame and expensive. I get the mentality of “I’ll definitely work out and get in shape, I’ve got to, I mean it’s a $1500 peace of equipment” but at the end, it’ll just sit in your garage, basement or w/e collecting dust. 😒
I mean the peloton isn't a magical device that teleports you onto the bike and forces you to work out. You kind of have to find that motivation on your own.
You can watch Netflix on the bike
Try Zwift.
The bike is garbage. It has broke 3 times in less than 2 years (the touchscreen first stopped connecting to the internet, then the bearings needed to be replaced, now the replacement touchscreen goes dark randomly). God help you if you need assistance from Peloton support. I paid for the "Peloton Protection Plan" (extended warranty) and the bike has been broken 3 weeks. I am still waiting for an appointment to be scheduled by their vendor, Go Configure. They are ridiculously inefficient (see Trust Pilot). Peloton refuses to do anything. They just pawn it off on the vendor. Peloton has declined dramatically. New CEO drops bike prices, raises app price saying he is focusing on LTV. Then two months later he changes his mind and is jacking up price again with more layoffs. Completely mismanaged. I am going to sell my bike as soon as they get around to fixing it and get a Bowflex.
It's much better to join a local group and go out and talk to people. That applies to 99% of users/potential users.
Can’t think of anything worse actually. I don’t need to get in touch with a local group, I like to go out for a run or walk by myself or with my partner. Talking to people.. thanks, but it’s a no from me.
@@EvanescenceGirly I agree, I feel the same way.
That’s really dependent on personality and schedule. I’m a mom who works full time and I’m also very shy. I’ve exercised way more now that I have the capability to do classes in my own home, during stretches of time that are convenient to me. I also don’t JUST do the cycle classes. I’d rather combine 30 min cycle with 20 min strength and 10 min of yoga or whatever is fitting my mood that day than go to a cycle class and mostly just stay on the bike.
Also, owning the peloton is considerably cheaper than going to my local cycling studio.
I don't understand Britain is a small island with only a few million people. How come so many videos have British narrators? I Click on a video and hear the British speech impediment and immediately click off.......
