How do you assure yourself that your baby (7 months) is crying at night for reasons that can be helped by sleepy training and not pain or illness? My daughter cries bloody murder, like she’s in horrible pain or something, several times a night. There’s no “always” solution: sometimes she settles with a bottle, sometimes with cuddles, sometimes a diaper change, etc. I’m just at loss, especially as she is perfectly fine and happy during the day.
If he has never wanted one or talked about one def not a great move. If he cycles or actually likes them= great move
Does he want one?
I have a Sopranos DVD set which I also used when I first started indoor training. I find I still need TV if doing Zwift or an easy ride but prefer the Workout videos on Wahoo for anything intense. If he is into it, a smart trainer sounds good. I think the Kickr comes with a free trial to the Wahoo app. (Most apps give free trials anyway). There is also a Kickr bike but if he has a bike and you do not intend to use, the trainer is more cost efficient. Lots of other accessories too. I have the Clymb but not really impressed with it.
Unless it’s a subtle suggestion he lose weight, I think it’s a great gift idea! I didn’t really understand the anger behind the commercial. Even if he doesn’t bike but generally enjoys working out, I think it’s a good idea (especially if you’ll use it if he doesn’t). My boyfriend never did a spin class before and hadn’t rode a bike in years, but he generally enjoys working out, and he loves our peloton (which I mainly got for me tbh it wasn’t a gift but still).

I’m not sure how subtle of a suggestion spending $2k on exercise equipment would be 😂
If it’s something he’d enjoy and has expressed interest in having there is nothing wrong with it. If it’s a low key suggestion from you that he needs to lose weight then it will probably go over like a lead brick. Fitness is an interest of mine so I would not be offended by receiving a piece of fitness equipment as a gift.
I did not understand that at all…I ask for fitness related stuff all the time. It really depends on the person you’re buying for. If he’s a fitness nut, I think you’re safe.

Lol not bad at all if he wants one?
If he hasn't been using something similar, don't get it.
Agree that if he’s expressed interest in a Peloton or enjoys the stationery bike, it’s a great gift idea.
It’s only an issue if you give someone a gift that suggests a need for self improvement if they haven’t expressed interest in that item or activity. No exercise equipment for a spouse who’s sensitive about their weight if they haven’t explicitly asked for it and don’t use it already, no makeup set or shapewear for a friend if you’re not 100% they want it, no money management books or software for your adult child, etc.
Men aren't that sensitive that we would get offended over a fitness bike. 99.999% of men would love it and would love to test it out right away

If he’s been asking for one, or talking about it I don’t see the issue.

I also don’t get the issue. My husband got me a Brompton for Christmas. I didn’t ask for it, but it’s cute and I really like it. I’d love fitness related gifts.
If he would like it then knock yourself out. I would love all the fitness gifts
