Who else has one? I’m about to hit ride #100 on Wednesday.

Did you buy it for the wife? lol

Haha my sister just got one, so I went over to her place to check it out a week ago (luckily her husband and I share a shoe size so I didn't have to buy a pair of the spikes), and I'm not gonna lie, it's a pretty engaging workout, I've had a lot of fun the couple times I've done it, the full customization is crazy, blew my mind how much it costs, but I definitely think it's worth it.

No. But she does ride it herself. Bought it for me.

We got one for Christmas. I love it. I usually do a 20 or 30 minute ride at least 3-4 times a week. Me, my wife and my 8 year old son have also been using the app on our Amazon fire to do some of the other workout routines not related to the bike during our lock down. They have some ten minute workouts that are relatively intense. We call it "recess" for my son.

A Peloton seems like it would be a pretty nice thing to have right now. I just bought bikes for the wife and I. I've been running virtually every day and lifting weights (in my garage - the most New Jersey thing I have ever done), but the impact from running 30+ miles per week when you weigh 240lbs is not great. I'm hoping some cycling will add some variety to my exercise routine with out so much joint impact.

Good work man. I'm trying to stay as healthy as possible during this time period. Starts by shedding some lbs and getting some endurance built up.

I've got a good 21 day streak going doing something on the bike ever day (sometimes I do a 15 minute ride, other times an intense 45 minute class). I also use the meditations as well.

With the new tagging feature I picked up a few people to follow who also post on here or elsewhere. Tags for #Xaviernation and #LetsGoX exist.

So I trust you are liking the Peloton so far? I may get one this fall / winter to replace my Elliptical. I've been enjoying outdoor cycling lately and I don't find the elliptical to be a hard enough workout. I've also been considering a Treadmill (potentially Peloton) but they (1) take up a lot more space and (2) are harder on the knees and ankles so I think I'm leaning toward a bike of some kind.

Love it so far. We've had it since November, but ever since this lockdown started it's been crucial. I work, come home and put 20-45 in on it to kind of destress. I'm on day 47 in a row doing some sort of ride.

I (used to) use the arc trainer at the gym. Incredible workout, and much more demanding than a treadmill, without any knee or hip problems. I take the resistance up to 40 (of 100), and that is plenty for my 72+ year-old heart. Once the gym reopens, I suspect it will take me a while to get back up to my old 1-hour workout on that machine.
