I left behind the cheap elliptical I’ve had since grad school. I run/bike only in good weather. Gyms near me in NYC are meh. I thought maybe time for a new elliptical or a rowing machine? So hard to find objective, reasonable assessments! The fitness-bs industry drives me nuts.

I totally want to start a gym in my alternative life. One where the word "toning" is banned along with whole bunch of other stuff.

Speaking as someone without your history of exercise, but a desire to start. I have literally no idea what I should buy or what’s good. Peloton appeals precisely because it’s kinda a known quantity. But seems like a lot of

for just that.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

It does seem to work. There’s a rumor that a Peloton rower is imminent fwiw.

I hear you. I'm also a longtime runner and cyclist. The only indoor cardio equipment I can make myself use is a set of resistance rollers for my (real live street-legal outdoor) bicycle. And that's only because I'll fall down if I don't pay attention.

If you have already have a road bike, a good indoor option is getting a smart trainer and a subscription to Zwift.

It's true. There's so many instructors to pick from who just get you going, and the machine is great. That said, a basic treadmill you can crank up to 15% degrees or a stair stepper will get your HR going in no time -- efficient, cardio + some strength building.

For less than a Peloton, buy a road bike and a smart trainer and ride with Zwift. More fun plus you have a bike for real outdoor use.
