Spin virgin here with serious amount of weight to shift. Friends are evangelical about the Peloton. Should I buy the regular older one now that it’s £1350 or stump up £2k for the Peloton bike plus? Is the price difference worth it for a screen that pivots?! (Amex also has 15% off offer if you spend £1500 or more which either model would exceed once you add accessories).

I have had the standard model for a year now and have never regretted not spending more on the plus - you can buy an after market fitting (£70 ish) to make the screen spin if that is important to you. I tend to use the app on my phone and cast to the TV though.

It has totally changed my life! I always found an excuse before but it’s so easy just to jump on for a 20 min class if that’s all you have time for.

If you want a referral code, let me know. It will get you £100 off accessories and I get a £100 voucher to spend in the clothing store Smile any other questions, shout!

I'm an avid Peloton app user (we have an old Life Fitness spin bike), and I can't quite get with (a) the cost of the Peloton bike and (b) the increased monthly membership cost.

I currently pay £12.99 a month, and get access to all live and on demand classes, but obviously don't get the leaderboard. It's a big jump in the monthly cost for the metrics TBH.

I'm actually staying in a hotel tonight that's got a Peloton bike, so I'm hoping to jump on a live class to see how it compares.

The bike is a lovely bit of kit, and I think the Bike + also gives automatic calibration of resistance in time with the class, which is pretty cool. Speakers are also a bit better I think, so not just a swivel screen. But still a big jump in cost.

I’m not convinced, seems like a fad and that’s a lot of money! Which goes no way to answering your question I know, sorry.
