Cross Training Bike

I had my original Peloton bike for a few years before upgrading to the Plus model. That being said, this thing is still fantastic. It's not the most well built bike or highest performing on the market, but the build quality is much better than the cheap import bikes that are prevalent on Amazon. You can also buy an adapter for the screen so it fully swivels around to be used for other classes (which is a standard feature on the Bike+). For me the value here is extremely high as the gamification, leaderboards, music choices, etc are all super engaging. My wife and I both use this daily so we've gotten more than our moneys worth on it and don't mind the somewhat high monthly subscription fee. You can often find these used for $300-$400 (down from like $2k new).

I was influenced by Basement Brandon to pick on of these up. There are a ton on the used market and you can easily find them for less than $500 vs $1,600 new. The bike is solid and surprising hefty weighing about 135lbs. As far as actually using the machine goes, this is the first piece of cardio equipment that I actually look forward to using. The classes are fun and the live scoring pushes you to work harder than you would initially expect. They have done a really good job "gamifying" fitness. Now the bad side - the fees for this bike are EXPENSIVE. If you buy used, you get charged an activation fee (I believe mine was around $75). The monthly subscription to use the bike is $50 per month. I understand how this would be a huge turn off for most people but if you can live with that fee you and use it regularly I believe it is worth it.
