I purchased my Peloton bike in April 2017.

I remember when I first saw the ads for the bike and fell in love with the entire concept. I also remember learning of the bike’s cost and thinking, ” I can’t spend that much money on a bike!”.

Weeks past and I kept thinking about how much I wanted it. I brought it up to my husband and he was not totally on board. Ok, he was not on board at all. It was too much money and I could just buy any old stationary bike. Of course, the Peloton is not just some ordinary stationary bike.

I am not sure how the decision was made or what led me to click BUY only a month after learning of the Peloton, but it had something to do with no interest financing and my need to lose weight. Hey, ya can’t put a price on your health right?!

Here we are over a year later and I have taken 339 spin classes and 136 floor exercises.

The instructors are AWESOME! I have my favorites of course ( shoutout to JJ and Ally) but, I can get a great workout and tons of inspiration from any of the instructors. It is more than just a spin class, you really feel like you are a part of a community.

I lost 10 pounds shortly after getting the bike and I was able to ride throughout my entire pregnancy. That’s right – I was able to workout at home from the moment I found out I was pregnant up until 2 days before I had the baby! I attribute my relatively easy pregnancy to the Peloton and it is the reason I am almost back to my pre-baby weight.

I was able to pay off the cost of the bike in less than a year with no interest charged. I now just pay the $40 subscription cost each month. This provides me with live and on demand classes each and every day. They have also made tons of updates since I bought it and now have treadmill classes (and the TREAD) as well as tons of weight training and stretching classes.

If you are thinking about purchasing a Peloton bike of your own be sure to use my referral code: HBGZ88

By using the code you will get $100 towards accessories when you buy the bike. 

I now have a 7 week old baby girl and can still exercise! I don’t have to leave to go to the gym, I simply put her in a bassinet next to the bike and get to work. I am pretty sure I would go crazy if I wasn’t able to get a workout in. (Happy Mommy = Happy Baby!)

Whether you have a newborn, no kids, older kids, husbands, wives, roommates WHATEVER – you have no excuse to not get a workout in when you have this bike! 10,15,20,45,60 minute classes are available to fit your schedule.

Now I just need to convince my husband I need the Peloton Tread..
