Frazier also appreciated the amazing playlists curated by the Peloton instructors, the supportive cycling community, and how easily the bike fit into her compact apartment.
SELF’s senior health conditions writer also gives the Peloton Bike+ rave reviews, pointing out that while the price tag might be steep, you get a ton of bang for your buck. “I’ve had my Peloton Bike+ for three years now and it’s still the best investment I’ve ever made for my health and well-being,” she says. “The swivel screen feature allows me to stuff my bike in a corner of my apartment without jeopardizing my workout space. And those speakers—AMAZING quality. A lot of people complain about the $44 monthly subscription, but that’s cheaper than a lot of gym memberships I’ve heard of, and it’s pennies when you think about how much each individual class costs. Just ONE pilates class in my neighborhood, for example, is already $45. 10/10 recommend!”
Peloton Bike Mat
This mat serves a pretty simple purpose: It sits under your bike to protect your floors. While it’s not exactly a sexy purchase, it’s one you’d be wise to invest in (or risk shelling out mega-bucks for new hardwood varnish or carpet)—so why not snag it for 30% off its sticker price?
Peloton Cycling Shoes for Peloton Bike and Bike+
If you’ve only ever cycled in your sneakers, trust us: Cycling shoes will be a upgrade. Shows that have cleats that clip into the bike, like this pair from Peloton, help keep your feet and knees in alignment as well as make pedaling way more efficient (thus improving your overall workout), as SELF previously reported.
SELF’s commerce director, who’s an avid indoor cyclist (and huge Peloton fan), says switching from regular trainers to clip-in cycling shoes completely changed her workout. “After making use of my exercise bike’s pedal foot cages for three years, I finally invested in a pair of proper cycling shoes. And wow—my workout immediately leveled up,” she says. “Not only can my toes wiggle without any pinching from the cage, but I can really feel the muscles in the back of my legs fire up now that I’m not gripping with my feet.”
Peloton’s version of the sneak, as well as the brand’s narrower version of the shoeare both marked down by a whopping 40% for Prime Day. We recommend picking up your size before Amazon runs out.
I’m not exaggerating when I say that my biggest dream in life is to own the Peloton Tread. Okay, so maybe it’s not my dream—but I have been thinking about investing in one for a while.
Years ago, I took a class on one of these babies at Peloton Studios in New York. After running on gym treadmills for years, I was blown away by this piece of equipment’s simplicity and intuitiveness. You control the speed and incline using knobs, which is just such a dream when you’re used to feverishly pressing buttons while trying not to fall flat on your face. I also love the guided classes, which make every mile fun, challenging, and surprising.
Peloton Guide AI-Powered Personal Strength Training Device For Your TV
The brand’s 2022 addition to its slate of workout equipment is an AI-powered personal trainer that hooks straight into your TV. This nifty device mirrors your image as you perform fitness moves like squats and deadlifts; meanwhile, a split screen lets you compare your form with the Peloton trainer guiding the class so you can avoid movements that could lead to injuries. The Personal Strength Training Device also counts your reps and keeps track of how much weight you’re using so you can continue to improve over weeks, months, and years of at-home workouts.
Peloton Reversible Workout Mat
Peloton’s reversible workout mat features one grippy side for sweaty workouts and one soft rubber side for easy stretching and savasana. Chelsea Jackson Robertsa yoga instructor at Peloton in NYC, previously told SELF that she prefers these dual-purpose mats for any class where some extra traction may come in handy. Think: hot yoga, HIIT, or sweaty strength training.
Peloton Dumbbells
Anyone who’s ever purchased at-home fitness equipment knows that weights are (how should I phrase this?) stupidly expensive. During Amazon Prime Day, Peloton has marked down all of its dumbbells by over 20% so that you can stock your weight rack. These 5-to-20-pound weights are made with ergonomically designed square heads that make moves like goblet squats (which involve gripping the head of the weight) easier to perform.
Peloton Light Weights
One-, two-, and three-pound weights are handy for Pilates, low-impact exercises, and muscular endurance-style workouts, which involve high-rep, low-weight movements. They’re also a great choice for Peloton’s famous Intervals and Arms rides. These particular weights have a rubberized coating that will keep them from slipping out of your hands when your workouts get sweaty.
Adding a block to your yoga practice brings the ground so you can relax into poses like wide-legged forward fold or pigeon pose without straining your muscles and joints. Peloton’s foam blocks are a steal at two for $15, and are made of EVA foam, which is more gentle on the body than cork or wooden blocks.
Peloton Yoga Strap
Looking for another fantastic prop to add to your at-home yoga studio? I love using my at-home strap to stretch out my hamstrings and hips—especially if I’m feeling tight after a run, bike ride, or hike. Peloton’s simple yoga strap is made of durable zinc alloy material that’s designed to last. It’s also easy to adjust thanks to two looped metal bands on the end. It’s 30% off for the next couple of days.
“As a Peloton superfan, the Row did not disappoint me. The machine is well-made, beautifully designed, and comfortable to use,” wrote SELF contributor Michelle Konstantinovsky, who spent a few weeks testing this rowing machine. “And of course, as with all its other content, Peloton has churned out rowing classes with high-caliber production and instructor quality,” It’s 10% off this Prime Day.
