Are pelotons worth it?

As someone who doesn't have a time or effort to go to the gym, I do have space in my garage to make a mini gym, I'm debating getting a peloton and maybe some weights, but I wondered whether a peloton is worth it?

Thanks all I have paired up my phone to my normal treadmill tonight, and used a peloton walk/run it was brilliant. Defo gonna keep going with the classes

My recommendations are
Try out all the instructors, even for a cool-down and you find the ones you like
Give Hannah C 10 min barre a go and laugh at how much it burns 4 mins in
The stretch classes are really good, there's a 10 min hip one by Hannah C I do all the time

I've had mine three years and generally love it. Have never stuck with any other exercise like this. Couple of things to bear in mind:

Exercise does very little to help you lose weight. Do it because exercise is good for you.

Secondly - USE IT. I have been baffled by people I know who have bought one and then let it sit there. It's expensive and takes up space!!!

Do not wait for 'motivation' - it rarely appears. Just do it. Commit to X number of workouts a week and don't skip them. I get on even if I don't feel like it. I've never regretted a workout.
