Fuck Peloton: The Bowflex Velocore Is The Way To Go
I am getting a Peloton...but I would like to hear what are the pros and cons in your opinion.

Also...any way to get the membership just a bit cheaper? Or rather do you need to have the membership? I know it would be cool for live things but is there a way around the fee at all? Damn $39.00 is pricey... chuckle

My wife bought the Assault Air Bike. Much cheaper then peloton, plus you get the arm exercisers which gives a better whole body workout. Very solid unit.

No app required to use it. I just put on some favorite jams and workit !!

Ellen honey I hear ya...but listen I have been down all avenues...prescription diet pills tried them...$100.00 a month okay...but didn't like putting that stuff in my body...plus when you stop the weight just comes right back...then my doctor is all I have this shot you can take...no thank you...not injecting my self everyday or whatever for weight loss...that's extreme I feel... blink

Personal trainer 3times a week almost $300 a month that's almost a car payment lol

Let's see, Emscuplt Neo...$1000.00 per session... (non evasive)

That's the latest tech...not paying that...forget that...

Then you have straight up stomach surgery...big deal...very big deal...can lose all your hair and vitamins will need to go on strict vitamin regimen for the rest of your life. Plus it can come back...so...

I figure at $100.00 a month for Peloton I'm jumping in...I should be ordering it right now...but this damn accounting homework is so confusing!! lol I need to get it done tonight.

 Quoting: Angelseverywhere


The seat size isn't about having a huge butt or not - it's bone structure. You know, those "seat bones" that you feel when your sitting on a hard chair or bench for a while. The seat needs to fit your pelvis size. Otherwise you feel bruised in that area.

Fit is important! A lot of people will quit riding after being sore for a while from an ill fitting seat. It doesn't have to happen that way.

You can go to a regular bike shop for a proper seat fitting and then put it on your indoor bike. Then, once you have the proper fit, you can add more cushion with a seat cover if you want.

I have an Echelon. I love it! Sturdy, and very smooth and quiet. Unfortunately, their monthly subscription is about the same as Peloton though.

If you want to save a little money, you can go with the Echelon bike and then use the Peloton app. But either app is going to cost the about same.

Understood about the seat...thank you very much. I will need a seat cover...these are all great tips. Wow...so many different bikes out there will look into the Echelon next. I was all set to order the Peloton guys...now I'm like I must do more research. Plus there is one for sale in Buffalo for $2000.00 I would never pay that but $1000.00 I would...it's a long shot lol
