Absolutely no way I’ll be paying out the sort of money they want for it at the moment, but has anyone tried it? Is it the future of home exercise or something in nothing. I definitely wouldn’t get the first one hitting the market and be stuck with the Betamax model (spot the over 50s who know what that is) very interested in thoughts.

just in case you’ve not heard of it here’s a link. magic.fit/?srsltid=AfmBOopQMPsV5E0aHlhLpfU-u1Q86Co3G3OxyewzJicfFn9xXQS0MnZY

It looks great, but not for £1200. The Peloton was a hard enough sell but that’s worth every penny.

Yes you can just use standard dumbbells. ‘Most are just dumbbells but they do have some Kettlebell workouts I think. It uses the camera to recognise your reps and form on compatible classes but you can do any of the classes on it, I find it useful for yoga and Pilates as you can have yourself side by side with instructor to check your form. Tunde’s Arms programme is amazing or the Stronger You programme if you want to do full body. Both are set up for the Guide so track your reps etc. It’s good value for the amount of content there is on there.

I have just bought the peloton guide! it was 90ish on their website, but £43 on Amazon.

A cheaper alternative might be the Peloton Guide and sub to the app. There’s so much content on there: strength, conditioning, barre, Pilates, yoga, cardio, dance fitness, even meditation. The Guide lets you see yourself and various metrics on TV along with the classes. It’s about £45. App sub is £24 a month or something.

That sounds v interesting- would normal weights work for that?

I'm in my thirties and we had a Betamax thank you very much.

I thought this meant a mirror that magically makes you look like you've done a lot of exercise 🙂

Why not just use YouTube, it just looks like a fancy TV to me!! Happy to be told I've been mistaken though

There was a Mumsnet thread where people were having a bad experience with delivery. Also seen it mentioned that bad reviews are being deleted on trustpilot

That’s interesting, that’s partly why I think it’s better to wait, the technology will improve, other companies will join the market and hopefully the price will come down.
