He’s psychologically and emotionally abused her to the point where she’s afraid of everything, and then thanks him when he allows he to do something adventurous. Like ride a stationary bike.

THEY DISRUPTED EXERCISE BIKING!!!

We plopped it down in the basement, but believe it or not, we do have a mountain view (we live in rural Vermont).

Home inspector here: we absolutely call Pelotons “the $2000 coat rack”.

Why is she already in shape at the start of the commercial?

Were you scared the first time? And how many square ft is your floor to ceiling glass lined contemporary bungalow overlooking the mountains?

She’s pretty freaked out for a piece of exercise equipment that if you stop while using it you’re literally just sitting down.

I have a Peleton, but I mostly only use the scenic ride mode. The very few times I’ve ventured over to the live classes...yes, it is a cult. 

Peleton is really approaching Soul Cycle levels of insanity. While they might not be force feeding riders new age self help bullshit like SC, but they are pretty much trying to build a cult with ads like this.

The only time I saw this commercial, all I could think (aside from “what kind of bullshit gift is that” and “why is she so terrified of it”) was the documentation question, like, who is it for. And then it ended with the couple watching the videos and I thought, okay, well that was dumb.

I was obsessed with last year’s Peloton ads, where a man bought one for his wife for Christmas and hid it in the garage, but couldn’t resist the urge to keep sneaking in and using it himself. Meanwhile, a separate ad showed the wife stumbling upon her gift (which just sat openly in the garage) and *also* kept sneaking…

“Daddy made mommy self conscious about her weight by gifting her a stationary bike for Christmas, and now she’s a narcissist monster that insists we watch all of her Instagram stories of her on the bike as a family on the living room television.”

All of Peloton needs to calm the fuck down. Congrats, you stuck a tablet on a exercise bike and convinced people to drop 3 grand on it. Its the exercise equipment version of building a fuckton of luxury townhouses in every neighborhood in the country, then wondering why their arent enough rich people to move into…

THANK YOU! I’ve been telling anyone that’ll listen to me how much I hate this goddamned commercial. Why is she recording everything? Why is she nervous? Why is she making her husband watch her videos?

And those coat racks/clothes horses will continue to cost their owners/make the company $39/month until the owners admit they’re not going to ever really use the thing.

Here’s the reality: most of these Pelotons will end up being coat racks — like so many NordicTracks and Bowflexes before them.

And they can’t even go anywhere! 

Haha holy shit the basic package for those bikes is over $2200!

Holy moly, I thought I was the only one bugged by this commercial. It’s a bike. Why are you freaking out? Why are you documenting every workout? Who cares?

The look... In her eyes.... I can't unsee it.
