Peloton v other spin bike

[hopeishere]

I'm considering getting a Peleton but it's sooooo expensive with the ongoing monthly subscription!! Plus I'm not sure where I'd put it.

Can you just get a cheaper bike and do spin classes from YouTube??

Apple fitness + has loads of spin classes
And is much cheaper than peloton.

You can use the Peloton app at £12.99 pm with any spin bike. You get access to exactly the same content, you just don't get the metrics (cadence, resistance, power) or the leaderboards. And obviously you have to use your own screen - ipad/tablet or cast to a tv screen.
There are various spin classes on YouTube - studio sweat have some free ones that are very good.

Echelon is a cheaper version of Peleton which is just as good. I’d prefer a Wattbike or Concept2 bike-erg over either though.
If you already own a road bike then you can mount it on stand indoors and use an app such as Zwift. Benefits then are that you can also go and ride it outside which is incomparable

I use the app at the gym on the treadmill as I don't have room for one at home and can't afford the peleton machines.

The echelon ones are pretty expensive too!!

I bought a Schwinn IC7 at the beginning of the year, I have it set up in my garage. I then subscribe to the £12.99 Peloton digital app and get all the classes. I use my iPad to stream the classes as the spin bike has an iPad holder. I have also just started doing the outdoor guided runs - also amazing! The peloton app is such good value for the content you get.

I have a cheaper spin bike and use the peloton app too. I love both. This is the bike I have www.jtxfitness.com/jtx-cyclo-6-indoor-exercise-bike

I noticed Costco have an offer on a spin bike and subscription at the moment. It could be worth taking a look.
