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.

For less than $15 you get a super versatile piece of equipment that can unlock a ton of new movements for your home gym. I basically use these as a cable extender for my lat pulldown/low row machine. With these I can do do overhead tricep extension, chest supported rows, cable raises and more. Once you add these to your setup you will find new uses for them all the time. Highly recommend for any home gym owner.

My personal favorite of the Drink Spotter Collection. A must have for any home gym owner!

These are my favorite plates on sale today. They lip and dimensions of the plates make them easy to handle when loading and unloading the bar. I like that they use a more timeless design that doesn't come off as overly styled or trying too hard. Also, the black e-coat is really striking when you have a bunch loaded up on the bar. If you are going to invest in premium plates, I can't think of a better option.
