    This week I will be reviewing my Peloton Bike+ after 100 weeks and 350 rides.
    I’ll tell you the best parts, the worst parts and why the experience with the Peloton Bike+ has got a little worse over the last few months.

    I bought a bike + beginning of last year for my wife as she used to spin pre kids. I wasn’t keen having seen one at a friends house but I was largely convinced by one of your early reviews as I too am a middle aged, bicep and chest workout guy who also skipped leg day for the 6 years prior. The bike changed our lives mentally and physically. Still love it a year later, 345 rides in. Great work, keep it up 👍

    Great update Steve. As I mentioned on a previous video I took the plunge in October and bought a peloton off the back of your reviews. Over two months and nearly 50 rides later I am still loving it. Many thanks once again for the cracking content.

    Happy Sunday, Steve! 4:07 😂😂😂😂it’s so true!! I tell everyone I have a Peloton because I love it so much lol. I’m not yet convinced to give up my MBZ for Tesla lol. I’m taking a my 50th ride this evening. I can’t believe I reached 50 so quickly. I’m pumped! Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

    Thanks for great constructive review, I like how you highlighted benefits of bike +, but in the same time make point, why there's such a difference in price between + and original bike. I've bought original bike month ago, based on your comparison review and with few little tweaks I'm getting pretty much the same package like bike + except the auto resistance feature. From price point of view, original bike is way to go at the moment, however I understand if someone isn't' limited by budget, bike + is better option.

    Thx for the review! Just one note as a video enthusiast... 4K resolution only makes sense on screens that are at least 32 inches and bigger. 1080p is sufficient for this screen size. A 4K resolution on a screen this size would be 100% overkill unless you were staring at the screen from 1 or 2 inches away :-)

    Another good video, thanks Steve. Peloton is facing serious financial problems. Their stock has plummeted the last two quarters, shareholders are very nervous and the CEO, John Foley, has lost over $400 million. This likely explains the issue with classes. I fear there will be more cuts,,,,I love Peloton so I hope the company can recover.

      they are merely going to trim fat off...aka excess waste......i think some inexperienced braggart projected explosive growth based on upward market swings (Covid enabled sales).....they need to reorganize and restructure some of their over zealous plans/agenda.....

    13:18 between now and this video, in the US the Bike+ went down to $1995 and back up to $2495. I was lucky enough to order the Bike+ the morning of the day they announced the price increase. I’ve had it for about a week and love it, but would not have bought it at $2495.

    Who wants to do a Cody ride at midnight ?
    I’m retired , so don’t get up too early , but not many mid morning live rides
    But love it , the stats , community , variety of classes , Bradley Rose
    Obviously class times designed our Atlantic cousins
    Great video !

    Purchased the Bike Plus back in June 2021. For the past couple of months I’ve been experiencing pedal crank noise & wobbly handlebar issues. I contacted Peleton tech support, sent them uploaded videos and I was told that replacement parts were going to be ordered and shipped directly to me, a third party vendor is going to contact me to schedule an appointment to replace the parts. Frankly, I didn’t spend nearly $3K for the bike & extended warranty to have a third party vendor come out to troubleshoot. I’m not too happy about that. It makes me feel like PELETON is no different than Nordictrack. So keep that in mind before you spend your hard earned money.

I didn’t buy their shoes though, I got a pair off of Amazon, which are really comfortable, and work well with the Bike+. I love all of the different workouts that are becoming available on Peloton, it certainly stops boredom.

    You always have some of the best videos. I really enjoy the format. I have the Bike+, but never have done a live class. There are a few instructors that I stick with, and I rarely branch out. Maybe I should try something new.

    Great video, Steve! As always I appreciate your honesty and humor! I am still obsessed with my Bike+! I think the auto-follow feature is my favorite feature of it. And I agree about the core instructors. I have branched out to try some new ones, but still stick to the 5 or so who have become my favorites.

      Thanks! Its a commercial grade planked vinyl system (Like Amtico) I went for it as its hard wearing and if I damage it, I can just take one plank up and replace it as they are butted up to each other but not interlinked.

      No concerns re peloton going under, I think a change is much more likely than that due to the subscriber income. Connected home fitness is here to stay and grow I think. (I’m not expert though!)

At these price points go for a steal or is the bike + a no brainer now? I have an Apple Watch but prob won’t utilise the swivel much. Cheers!

    Hi I’m coming up 1 year & debating getting the extended warranty, I love it & use it almost every day (missed 13 days in total). What do you think 🤔

    • @SteveJulien
      @SteveJulien  2 года назад

      Tricky.
      I don’t normally buy extended warranties.
      I did for the Bike and ended up using it.
      I’m still 50/50 for the + when that comes up to one year.
      They did offer a 27 month or 12 month extended warranty in the UK but now I can only see the 12 month one. I saw a lot more value in the 27 month one as it was only about 50% more to buy than the 12.

    Great video as always Steve. We are thinking of purchasing a 2nd Bike in the spring to use at our cottage and will likely go with the Bike+ (depending on what Peloton does with their price matrix). A quick question for you- If I understand correctly, we should be able to log-off our first Bike and log-on to our 2nd Bike at the cottage using our one membership. I reached out to Peloton about this, but to be frank their answer was a bit muddled. We want to keep our streaks going next spring and as such really want to log on to the 2nd Bike with our current membership. Any thoughts?

    • @SteveJulien
      @SteveJulien  2 года назад +1

      Thanks!
      TBH, I’m not completely sure either!
      For the bike and Tread, you only need one membership.
      When I had two bikes, there seemed to be two active accounts (one wasn’t being charged due to the Tread recall)
      I think if you have two bikes, you may need two memberships but I’m not sure, sorry.

    Hope this comment can be answered. I used to cycle on a regular basis approximately 25 years ago. I graduated from toe clips to Look pedals. I'm getting back into shape. I've already lost 61 pounds. I do not mind the cleat style pedals. However, my wife does not like them whatsoever. I was told i could purchase the toe clips from them for around $35. How hard is it to change them between her and I? Are they durable and easy to change out? Do the pedals or Allen screws ever get loose or stripped? I also have a Samsung phone and a Galaxy watch. Am I limited on the use of those functions? Thank you in advance.

      Hi Robb,
      I'm certainly fitter and healthier for the training I do. As someone who likes food (and used to drink quite a bit) i could never out train a poor diet.
      Bieng consistantly okay/good at training and eating seems to be the best balance for me.
