Peloton Bike Review | What I Learned After 200+ Rides 

***UPDATE*** We upgraded to the Bike+ and compared it to the regular Bike ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7bz-KGUWxO0.html&ab_channel=BreakItYourself

I've had my peloton for a year now, but for some reason, I always watch these reviews when they come up on my feed. 😅😅

I have my bike now since Feb 2020 - and I still love it. Although I had a replace today, because the ball-bearing was not working well. I use it alone, so the monthly payment is something - but for me, it is worth it. I use it very often, and I am happy. One of my best investments last year!

I purchased the Bike+ and I can confirm the auto-follow feature is simply amazing and the one I use the most. It's great to ride the bike without worrying about changing the resistance so frequently so I can just focus on the numbers to make sure I am within the range for cadence. Also, the speakers are really good. I heard the speakers on the regular bike are pretty much tablet/iPad kinda speakers and the ones with the Bike+ are like a mini soundbar with very rich sound and it gets pretty loud with you want to. I love the bike and I wish I had bought it sooner!

THANK YOU for this update. I refuse to go outside, stink from all the outside smell, the danger of riding on the road, so to anyone who mocks you for getting an indoor bike, to each their own. I like the CONTROLLED environment of INDOORS. Great review. Thank you!

I have the plus and love it. I’ve only owned it for 2 months.... but the automatic resistance is awesome and so is the swivel screen. If price is a major factor I think the original bike would be just great! You really can’t go wrong either way.

I'm a single Mom sadly just making the weight range but grateful bc I've lost 15 pounds since starting I.F....there have been so many times I wanted to workout like I did before my kid by going to the gym at 6.... that's a no can do bc there's no one to watch him... I was furious when one Mom was like "just meet a trainer like 5 in the morning", forgetting that her hubby was home with her baby .... peloton seems like the right answer.... for years I shelped my kid to the gym after school which interfered with his extracurricular activities or HW or both! I am excited!!

Love this. Bought the regular bike today. This was much needed.

I just got a used Peloton regular, got a good price on it. I used headphones so the speakers are not an issue but they are pretty terrible. I did want to get the plus mainly for the auto feature, but adjusting the tension during the workouts is not as much of a pain as I thought it would be. I am pretty happy with it. I still ride outside on the road and mountain bikes, but the convenience of this can not be ignored. I get a better workout in a 20-30 minute class than I do riding outside. I think this is mainly because I can leave it all out on the bike and not have to worry about getting back home or to my car.

This is a great review. Thank you! My Bike is coming Saturday and I can't wait to get on!

Love my peleton. Like you I use it at least 4 time a week. Over 130 rides on beginner rides. Gonna start advanced beginner soon and keep working up through the ranks. Usually do a warmup, the class and then do a cool down. Love the bike and instructors.

Love your review and totally agree with you. I love my bike+ and worth every penny. I also find it is easier sometimes to just hop on my bike and ride rather then head up to the hill for a skate ski, or head to the park. I also got my bike because i am busy and I am short for time so having my bike is awesome. I have had my bike for just one year now and i find myself doing alot of other classes from the libery as well as lots of classes on my bike. Peloton hands down for this girl. Its perfect for a busy life and its perfect for a great veriety of classes. I do not find it boring like at a fitnes gym after six months. Peloton I am #HereForEver Also I would say the Bike plus no regrets for me as i love the swivle screen and auto-lock feature aswell as the bigger screen. speakers is awesome no complains from me on the plus bike.

I think the $1500 dollar price tag is all the motivation I need to exercise. If I’m spending this much on a bike, I’m definitely gonna try and get my money’s worth lol

Awesome video! Really enjoyed your editing and down-to-earth approach towards the review. Honesty would enjoy this same type of review approach towards any consistent content you had in mind (workout equipment, electronics, food, trips). I think you have the character, editing skills, and personality to really get your channel to grow, but really wish you had more of a consistent foundation. Best of wishes and God Bless!

That was pretty decent. I have the plus and love it immensely. True with anything man made, new editions are always in the wings. Such is life on the planet.

Just got my Bike + at the beginning of March. I love it!! I also have the Polar HR10. It’s pretty awesome. Also I live in AZ so working out outside from April-October is pretty miserable lol.

Now it's down to $1495.... I'm thinking I might get it, and buy an aftermarket screen swivel bracket I saw in another RU-vid video to go with it. I can't remember, did you say if it supports Bluetooth? I'm curious if I could hook up my portable speaker to it.

😂😂😂 at people’s comments about riding outside. They obviously don’t have kids.

That whole “being able to look down and see what range I’m supposed to be in” is a game changer. I’ve been using the app with a normal bike, you just convinced me that saving up for an actual peloton is the move

Thanks for this video! I am looking at buying a Peloton and you provided some great information!

Thank you soooo much for this! Such great info and editing - you’re awesome 👏🏻

FYI , the speakers on the plus are amazing 🤩! I absolutely love the bike +

I have a Pelly. You forgot to mention the myriad of classes that you can take - spin, pilates, yoga, meditation, barre, bootcamp, strength training, running, and more. I definitely feel it's worth the money. I live in NYC where classes run btw. $35 / class.

Thanks for the review, seems like the price of the original dropped as a soon as the plus came out. I bought the original used and saved a lot of money, but am curious why so many people are selling their bikes? To me it seemed like the bike holds up well over time. I even watched this video before purchasing and it convinced me to go in the used market instead.

Love my bike am around 75 rides and now am able to burn a little over 800 calories in 45 min ride.. I love cardio once I start sweating 😓 that’s it I get super motivated and the competitive in me chasing someone on the board lol 😂 but it’s fun and has been a great experience

May your wife do a video about how she got back into exercise postpartum. Currently 5 months here and already sad about the idea of not being able to workout for 6 weeks. Last time around I had a csection and all of it was just a hot mess

I’ve got a manual treadmill and use the peloton app at $10 per month and absolutely love it ! I’m going to buy a cheap $200 Amazon bike and do the same thing !the $10 per month app is on my 60 inch Samsung smart tv with surround sound and is absolutely amazing !!!! Don’t be fooled into thinking you need $$$$ thousands of dollars ! And the $10 app per month gives you access to tons of rides with tons of instructors the only thing I don’t get is the live events and scenic runs which is fine cause you can find scenic runs or bikes on RU-vid for free !!! If you don’t want to pay the $10 per month for the peloton app just use RU-vid for free then !!!!

Considering picking one up, treadmill is destroying my knees. Thanks for the video very informative

Oh wow super awesome video!! I also do barbell training in my garage, and can relate with putting your bike in the driveway! My Bike+ and Tread+ coming on FRIDAY!!

Hahaha, your intro was great! Made me stick around and watch the whole video

Love this! I have the first peloton as well and share a lot of your sentiments - especially your thoughts about your worries regarding another bike coming out and, low and behold, it did. I’m like you, considering if I want to upgrade to get the new one.

I bought a cheap bicycle thinking I'd go use it a bunch. Well I enjoyed cycling but I keep making excuses and my social anxiety is through the roof. Peloton has 0% APR, I think I'm getting one now

For anyone who's curious the speakers on the peloton plus are incredible

Now on amazon, there is a $900 difference between the + and og

What about me?? Strongly considered the Peloton, researched, and got the Keiser M3i. Love it. No $40/mo fee and (most people consider it) a better quality bike.

great video, had my bile + 6 weeks now and I love it, the speakers are great and the auto follow is amazing, I've been on it each day since I got it, the apple watch integration is brill too, was worth it for me so far as it's helped mentally during lockdown here in the UK

Good review. I got the NordicTrack S22i as Peleton wasn't available in Australia (they now are as of July 21). But the bike is very smooth with a very industrial/commercial feel. Live classes are great and the google maps ride anywhere feature is excellent. I was interested in your review just to see if the Peleton was better -- but they seem very comparable although the NordicTrack does have auto incline and resistance. Anyway, thanks for posting.

The cost is shameful especially with the monthly aswell, I can confirm the speakers are amazing on the +

Great honest review. Thanks pal

As a employee of peloton this bike is amazing 😁😁 but I don’t have to worry about the price 50-60% off 😎

Your bike is dirty! Dirty in a good way.......you are using it quite a bit. I purchased my Peloton to supplement my bike riding. I love riding my bike but not in 100 + degree weather. It's nice to jump on the Peloton and get my riding in when I can't go mountain biking.

Nah we will keep our Peloton in our living room and away from the thieves in the neighborhood lol. Love it though truly. Been a month with 50 rides so far that includes warmups and cool downs. Also, that seat is Satan

+1 for the Rogue t-shirt. Thinking of this to add to our home gym going into the fall. Great video.

I got a Peloton ad in another unrelated video, and couldn't help but giggle as "pelotón" can be used to call someone a "fat@ss" in Spanish. Or refer to a group of people. 🤣🤣🤣

Great video. I have a peloton bike plus, and my whole family love it

resale for your bike is high! you can probably get 1400-1800$ private sale for your bike.. I recently sold mine for the bike +. Something to think about ! Definitely worth doing

Thank you for a great video very helpful for someone who is interested and doing there research like me 👍

Good review. I don’t see the need for a plus for the 30% cost difference. You can buy a swivel for the screen, ans control your own pace, oh and why would anyone use actual speakers- use headphones !

an incredible, knowledgeable and very helpful video but this is so far our of my price range that its sad. again thanks for sharing, but I'll stick to riding my Specialized ride to work and back doing about 20 miles a day ..............stay safe

The bike plus is just another option with a larger, articulating screen and different audio system. Both the bikes and the tread use the same system. No need to worry about being unsupported in the future.

Love my Peloton!!!

The speakers on Bike+ are awesome. The shoes make it a better ride than the toe clips. The swivel screen is awesome. There is an adapter that can be used on Bike.

my bike costs 300$ in the US. and I also purchased weights etc. I use an on demand subscription for 15euros a month (that includes cycling, weights, cardio, hiit programs and more) and I'm good.

What about the results. Does it help achieve fitness goals or is it just another device replacing the gym or other equipment. How long do you ride for each session and hS your riding abilities increased over the year

Great review thanks

Great job. Thank you for making this video.

i can recalibrate the powermeter on my bike by backpedaling 3 revolutions, glad i saw this video before buying one

Very helpful .. thanks for posting

With it dropping down another $400, down to $1,495... would you still rate cost as a con?

Upgrade it , I did it myself, loved the bike +.

Great info! I noticed you have pedals that you can use with regular shoes? On the website it comes with something that you need specific cycling shoes.. where did you get that attachment?? TIA!

Awesome review! Why do you think the heart rate monitor is garbage? What doesn’t it do?

Very useful video. Can you use the bike at all WITHOUT paying the monthly fee? Can you see any sort of metrics on the screen? Like resistance or speed?

Great video! Ty!

That intro tho!! 😆😆

The bike and screen is wobbly. That's my cons. After I have been joining the cycling class for many years, Keiser is my favorite bike.

Thank you! Nice review.

You said you watch other TV or listen to a podcast. Are you watching the other shows on the screen that’s on the peloton? Or do you have to set up a separate television or iPad or something like that.? Just wondering if that screen can use anything other than just the peloton items.

are those aftermarket pedals?? i’m close to buying one this weekend & want to know if I need to buy those peloton shoes or buy aftermarket pedals to fit regular shoes

Laughing. Alone. 😊😇

I can totally relate when you said you find yourself just riding the bike vs workouts and using the bike as a supplement. I use to go to the gym 4-5 times a week or at least do home resistance training. I’ve had my bike since Feb 12th and I’ve been to the gym maybe 2 to three times since then ...I gotta do better

Can't wait 'til ours arrives

Great video. Thinking of getting one. Are the shoes recommended? And since I'm mechanically inclined, can I just put it together myself?

When you workout in your carport does it bother your neighbors? The sound of the barbells hitting the concrete would make me call the police on you and your fitness bros 😅

I am exactly 297lb. Could there be an issue with me using this?

“I’m probably average when it comes to exercise,” he says as the video pans to him doing double-unders on his jump rope in the driveway.

Great video!!!

Peloton disabled cameras on all of their bikes today, ruining the video chat feature

Great overview!

My basement has low ceilings do you think I will be able to put the bike in the basement? Or the bike is kind of high?

No matter how old your bike is it should always be good since you can update the software- correct?

What’s the monthly subscription? Do they have lessons for rowing machine? Thank you

Please tell me, how noisy are these bikes? I worry about that since I cannot have clanking sounds.

I can see that you are wearing regular trainers, thought you can only wear their bike shoes. An answer wl be great bcos am thinking of buying the bike. Thanks

Do you think ppl with back and neck issues can use it?

The shoes. Is it really necessary? I know in your first video you decided against them.

Would you recommend buying used?

That was exactly my question n his opening!😅

Great video thank you, the basic bike is even cheaper now!

Not sure I agree with riding outside. Because I'll just use my regular bike. But kudos for getting out and exercising.

Props for all of you that can shed this kind of mula for something that can assist you to have the same results for 20 times cheaper price.

I notice you bought the Clips Cage Bike Pedals Adapters that are Compatible with Peloton - which ones did you get ? Why that as opposed to the actual cycling shoes ?

I LOVE my bike + I definitely get my money’s worth with how much I ride it. It’s fun and a effective easy way to workout.

So it’s impossible to own this bike and use it without paying that ridiculous monthly fee?? What if I don’t care for their classes at all. I watch my own stuff while I ride could care less for their classes.

This is a quality video

Great video buddy, thank you

Quick question. Can it damage your knee?

What is the difference between the Peloton heart monitor and the Polar? What do you gain by going with the a polar?

I see you are using toe / foot cages vs the clip in shoes - do you have anything to say about that ? (besides the fact that the clip in shoes can be a pain in the a$$ and expensive & hard to clip out of....) for the SoulCycle bike, do you know if it is cage compatible? I read it is not. I'm feeling like, overall, the Peloton is a more premium experience than SoulCycle at home, which is just trying to keep up....

Thank you!
