I have it. I love it. Pros - good way to keep active, the community is great. Cons- it’s an expensive bike and you still have to pay monthly to have access to all the metrics. If you don’t want to pay the price for the bike, you can buy a cheaper non Peleton bike and use the app. There is a 90 day free trial now for the app. You won’t get the same metrics or be counted in the leaderboard but you absolutely still get a great experience and good workout.

I just purchased a sunny health indoor spinning bike. A quarter of the price of Peloton. I did a few weeks of research for a Peloton alternative and eventually settled on this one due to price point, but I really wanted the Asuna 7150 ($1400). I really love the Peloton but hard to find a refurb one where I live and I’m not buying brand new. Used ones sell within a few hours.
I brought the Wahoo speed and cadence to be able to connect it to Peloton app.
If post is still up in a month, I’ll give my review.

I love spinning so I am really excited to be able to do it at home.

I have a large butt so I also brought a bigger bike seat. The one gripe I had from spin class was that those seats were not made for my rear.

Posting the products I ended up purchasing, to aid if someone is looking for a Peloton alternative.

I know a few ppl that split the membership, which washes out if you pay for monthly cycle classes, but yeah, I totally get you.

I personally do not have a bike but my best friend does. She got a refurbished one via our pwc discount program. She mentioned she was an a former avid soulcycler and has significantly saved money. I use the peloton app for home workouts and i Love it!

I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know.

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?

Hi, ladies. How long has it taken you to find a new job?

I’m currently on the hunt for a new job and I’m feeling really utterly defeated. Over the past year I’ve probably applied to at least 100 jobs and I’ve been on 8 different interviews all with no offer. I’m not sure if I’m doing anything wrong or if there is more being done behind the scenes that have nothing to do with me. Either way, I’m getting frustrated and my productivity in my current position is slacking as a result.

I’ve been reading more about how there’s a difference between how men socialize and how women socialize at work. There’s a school of thought that says that men are “friends” outside of work with their coworkers so they are more likely to lift each other at work. Women however are more likely to separate their work friends and their social friends. I think I fall in this group. Cont in comment

Idk who needs to hear this but don’t just accept feeling lucky to have a job during a pandemic as an excuse to not get your promotion AND raise. If they say they don’t have money, issa lie. They have it, just not for you.

It goes without saying but always keep that resume fresh and be on the lookout for yourself because they SHOL ain’t lookin out for us.

🗣Don’t let them assign your value, know it for yourself and leave if you have to!!
