Frazier also appreciated the amazing playlists curated by the Peloton instructors, the supportive cycling community, and how easily the bike fit into her compact apartment.
SELF’s senior health conditions writer also gives the Peloton Bike+ rave reviews, pointing out that while the price tag might be steep, you get a serious bang for your buck. “I’ve had my Peloton Bike+ for three years now and it’s still the best investment I’ve ever made for my health and well-being,” she says. “The swivel screen feature allows me to stuff my bike in a corner of my apartment without jeopardizing my workout space. And those speakers—AMAZING quality. A lot of people complain about the $44 monthly subscription, but that’s cheaper than a lot of gym memberships I’ve heard of, and it’s pennies when you think about how much each individual class costs. Just ONE pilates class in my neighborhood, for example, is already $45. 10/10 recommend!”
Peloton Cycling Shoes for Peloton Bike and Bike+
Cycling shoes can be a major upgrade from your regular sneakers. Shoes with cleats that clip into the bike, like Peloton’s top-rated pair, help keep your feet and knees in alignment and make pedaling way more efficient (thus improving your overall workout), as SELF previously reported.
SELF’s commerce director, who’s an avid indoor cyclist (and huge Peloton fan), says switching from regular trainers to clip-in cycling shoes completely changed her workout. “After making use of my exercise bike’s pedal foot cages for three years, I finally invested in a pair of proper cycling shoes. And wow—my workout immediately leveled up,” she says. “Not only can my toes wiggle without any pinching from the cage, but I can really feel the muscles in the back of my legs fire up now that I’m not gripping with my feet.”
Peloton Tread
The Tread won a Home Fitness Award last year for its truly immersive workout experience—and, again, Peloton’s stellar trainers. “The instructors and platform make this piece of equipment what it is,” one of our awards judges said. There’s a range of walking, hiking, running, and bootcamp classes to choose from, and its touchscreen clocks in at nearly 24 inches, so you can really dial into your cardio—like you’re right there in the studio.
“The price of this treadmill is higher than others on the market, but if you’re going to be using Peloton’s platform, this is the most seamless experience,” our judge added. Lucky for you, you can snag it for over $400 off during Prime Day.
