$44 is more than my gym membership, and they have dozens of bikes and other equipment. These Peloton people are diseased.
Does your gym have live guided classes for under 40 a month?
Most YMCA locations have cycle classes included with the membership.
Forgot about the Y honestly, but my local one is $60+
Yeah, that's pretty standard for the Y, but that's the cost for everything--weights, track, courts, swimming pools, most classes, personal training, childcare. As opposed to Peloton, which is $50 for just the spinning class.
Yeah I don’t trust any kind or vender lock-in. I still get why people like peloton but its still not worth it simply because they have you buy the balls because of the hardware in my mind. I bought an ifit treadmill secondhand and it demands I make an account every time I hop on to do a run, drives me up a wall.
For 15€/month
Cheapest one with classes I know near me is $85 a month
Mine does. They're group classes, but it's included with the standard $40/month plan (or $5/day), less if you buy a family plan. There are cheaper gyms around, so a single person could probably get a better deal if they only need spinning classes.
Yes
Damn that’s a good deal
