Peloton Review: What to Know Before You Buy

If you thrive on the competition and camaraderie of studio cycling classes and are intrigued by the idea of replicating that experience in the comfort of your living room, a Peloton indoor bike could be for you. Becoming a member of the Peloton pack is an investment: roughly $3,000 for the first year and nearly $500 each year thereafter. But for a set of indoor-cycling devotees, these recurring costs for live-streaming and on-demand classes make financial sense. Namely, those who typically take four or more Peloton-like studio classes a week may find the at-home bike and classes a superior value in as few as six months.
