I am in my mid 40’s. I have had many gym memberships. I have had memberships

at Anytime Fitness and LA Fitness and Snap Fitness. I prefer Anytime Fitness, but L.A Fitness has a lot of very nice equipment and their locker rooms are all made of hardwood. They have half-court basketball gymnasiums and Olympic-sized swimming pools in them. I always knew that exercise/movement of the human body is/was VERY important. I liked them both a lot. What I really liked about Anytime and Snap Fitness is that they were close to my home Anytime Fitness has somewhere around 5000 locations and Snap Fitness has around a thousand locations. LA Fitness gyms close at night, but they are so big because of all their amenities 

They only have around 550 locations.

 

Gym memberships are great if that is your thing, the human body needs some form of exercise. Some people would rather dohttps://02906ni047xnt151pnsercr3ok.hop.clickbank.net exercises with their body weight, or go for a run, or a long walk, Dr. Peter Attita talks sometimes about going “rucking” where he goes for a few miles with a waited rucksack on his back in addition to working out. For me, I love my Peloton Bike+

I love it because it saves time. For example, I ride my Peloton twice each day, (see the video or the picture I also posted with this blog article). Both of those times I can work out no matter what was going on outside for example, during the COVID-19 pandemic in the beginning there was not a lot known about that virus except that it was very contagious, so there was very little choice gyms just were shut down even here in Florida. I didn’t have my Peloton yet but if I did I could have kept right on working out, If it is raining or whatever, there is no excuse, I can still workout no matter what, with the Peloton, I do not have to drive or anything. I strongly recommend   I still had a membership at Anytime Fitness in 2020. I saved up my stimulus checks from the pandemic and purchased my Peloton with them. There are a lot of other exercises that Peloton has even on the Bike+ there are like 10 additional total exercises that can be done on the Peloton in addition to the ones I do. I do have weights, but I have never used them because I use my arms for driving (Usually). Also, Peloton keeps track of every workout you have ever done, and exactly which workouts you do, For example, Yoga and Bike workouts are separate, and both are tracked separately when it comes time for a birthday or a Badge (That is what Peloton calls each hundred rides) only those individual workouts done will contribute to a birthday goal. There are 3 big activities that ass up to the triangle of total body health and those are fitness, nutrition, and quality sleep. The Peloton alone fulfills the fitness portion of that triangle I have loved using my Peloton for the last 3 years. I love almost everything about it, it is truly awesome. It is a huge time saver, if I had an office like a lot of people do, I would put it right in the office because you can knock out a workout right in your office on your lunch break or whenever it is convenient for you.

 

There is a charge of $42.53 for the first year and then after the first year, it goes up by $5.00. Then at the two-year mark, I got a (on-screen message) that I needed to get new pedals, which I purchased from my favorite online store Amazon.com. Now, when I purchased my bike I got it directly from Peloton and I got just the bike and NOTHING else I got everything else from my favorite online store Amazon.com. In 2021 I think it was still cheaper to get it directly from Peloton, But from the time I purchased it online, there was an 8-week lead time until it actually came to my home. Amazon now has it for $290.00 less AND it only takes them 1 week to deliver it to you. If I was going to purchase a Peloton now, I would definitely get it from Amazon.com. When I made the decision to get an indoor exercise bike at first I was going to get an S22i from Nordictrac. I did a lot of research on these bikes and in the forums people that were owners of the S22i were saying to go with the Peloton. I saw several videos on YouTube about getting one of those bikes and there was a 50/50 chance of it now continually working right. Also, there were several reports of various Nordictrack owners being on the phone with Ifit support for several hours and then dropping the call and calling back in and having to start all over again.I didn’t care they were cheaper than the Peloton and they came with 1 year of free I-fit service (that is the NordicTrack app) and that service would allow you to do tours in 3d in places like Spain, and Morocco wherever you wanted to go touring and I knew I was going to be on that bike a lot so going to places all across the globe before I went Uber driving for the day seemed pretty cool to me. Peloton has similar rides in their app now and I want nothing to do with them, I like the various instructors and the music. The instructors at Peloton are all top-notch humans, even the men. I am a male and I am sexually attracted to women, but all of the Peloton instructors are awesome I think. What made me switch over and actually purchase the Peloton was this. When I was going to purchase a bike, I sent a U.S.P.S. letter to Nordictrack, Icon, (Icon is the parent company of Ifit) headquarters, and Ifit and I got nothing back and I waited like a month. So with that response, put together with the forum reports, and the 50/50 thing. I said screw Nordictrack and I went with the Peloton and I am so happy that I did. Peloton is awesome! I own a bike + and there are a couple of small things about it that I do not like, but overall, it has been just awesome for me. I did a lot of research on the various bikes before I actually “pulled the trigger”

On the Peloton bike and I am happy that I never got a response from Nordictrack, Icon, and Ifit

Because I am just thrilled with my Bike +. Now Peloton has the Bike+ in 3 colors and there is a $300.00 charge for them, my Bike Plus is black which is fine with me.

 

Here are the only things I do not like about the Peloton.

 

1. The slider that slides the closure for the camera on my bike doesn’t show

when it’s closed and it is so tiny you cant tell if it is closed or not until you use it.

2. On the Bike + the ethernet port has been removed completely from the Bike

Making it only WIFI capable, everyone is wifi happy right now because it is convenient 

And very cheap, but it is very bad and over the long term will cause some sort of cancer.

They make the TCP/ip available if you use a USB C adapter.I converted that USB C with

this exact adapter from Amazon and it fit in the little hole in the back perfectly. The Peloton

“tablet” has a single USB C port in the back and it is recessed. Most devices are USB type A

devices so I converted it and then I connected a Tri Charger to it. So it will charge any type of device.

 

3) The seat was hurting my butt a lot! Some people are fine with that seat and Peloton does

not sell a seat at all on their website, the Peloton Bike seat is exactly the same as a regular Bicycle seat

so I got this bike seat and this cushioned cover 3 years ago and it does exactly what I need it took the pain

completely away.

 

 

Here is a video of me that I filmed and edited on my Peloton Bike+
