The bike itself is whatever but the classes are great. I have a different branded bike that is 1/3 price and my firm pays for the membership which I play on my iPad and put on my off-brand bike.

I think so. I ride the bike nearly every day. There are several instructors I like and there’s plenty of classes/music to choose from.

Yes. Great work out and easy to get them in when you have one at the house.

Yes and while you can get an off brand bike for me the number one reason it is worth it is metrics. Yesterday I repeated a ride I’ve done many times and I made sure to beat myself. Having the output numbers is key for me. If measuring growth in that way is important to you get it.

Absolutely. It’s also cheaper than an equinox membership on a monthly basis if that’s your comparison

I've had one for 3+ years and love it. Changed my whole outlook on cardio. The instructors are great and I like a lot of the features they've added over the years, like the shadow boxing classes and yoga/pilates.

Nope but a high quality indoor bike and the Peloton app on an iPad are totally worth it. You pay $10 a month for the subscription instead of $35

My membership fees are also reimbursed by the firm, so maybe worth looking into what your firm can pay. I think it’s worth it regardless.

I have a Myx bike, and I like it. We bought it at the pandemic's beginning when Peloton bikes were super backordered. The classes are excellent and fun as well.

Yes! I second the person who said to rent one first (you rent directly from Peloton). That’s what I’m currently doing!

No.

As someone who has enjoyed spin classes for years, and also remote spin classes, I personally found their instructors very second rate. Part of it is the format, with all the shout outs. It's quite distracting, then the subscription is ~$60 for the classes and the free ride courses. Kind of whack. I only ever did the free ride. I would recommend a cheaper bike and cyclecast, personally.

I highly recommend but would get an off brand bike and pay for the digital service and cast to your TV

How much is the monthly membership?

44 dollars

We are looking to restructure our marketing team (B2B IT services) and one of the questions I have is: how does recruitment marketing / employer branding fit into the marketing team?
Over the last year EB and RM have become increasingly larger parts of our team’s work, but it’s not part of the marketing commercial targets (just helping recruitment meet their targets). Are they completely separate in your company? Or part of the team and if so how?

I’d love to hear about your job hunt for product roles- what worked? what did not work? what type of products did you want to build? how did that play a role in that hunt?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I have a few former classmates and colleagues sweating over lateral interviews. Take a deep breath and relax.

First, doing these interviews does not define you as a person.

Second, take it one day at a time; if they are moving forward, they see something in you.

Third, remember that the people interviewing you are human beings. Connect with them, be personable.

Does anyone else feel like the term “manage up” has been twisted from meaning “try to set expectations for your availability and process” to “do both your job AND the partners job?” So many partners just ignore email requests and pings until everything is last minute or on fire. When I mention this in any sort of review “manage up” is normally what I hear back, in some form or another.
