I don't disagree with you, but Peloton is definitely a thing. Maybe they're doing the UX better than everybody else, but I have a friend who wasn't into riding a stationary bike before she got one, and she's really into riding all of their rides "through" various scenic places now.
EDITED TO ADD:
Also: you're approaching this like a set of arbitrary components you plug together: An exercise machine and the entertainment. Maybe for some people it's easier when they're together and you don't get one without the other?
I mean, I can listen to a podcast without getting on a rower (or exercise bike, etc), but if you can't "ride" the scenic routes without your Peloton, I can see that being a motivator for some people.
- kevmo314 6y agoAlso to OP, definitely just try it before you knock it. I also thought Peloton was kind of silly then one day I had the opportunity to actually try it. I wouldn't say it fits in my workout plans, but it was fun and it was a workout. I get the impression a lot of the criticism levied here comes from people who have never even tried these experiences.
