anyone own a true spin bike? Pelaton or not? Thoughts? Reviews? Do you ride with a specific app?

We have a pelaton -- we've had it for 18 months. It is awesome. My kids use it, my dad lost 30 lbs with it, my mom uses it (lives with us) and DH and I use it (although we go to a gym most days) but it is great when we can't get out of the house. Highly recommend. It has also been trouble free.

I have a Peloton as well! I'm just getting started, but I believe it is going to be the catalyst for me to finally lose the baby weight from two babies, since as a single mom, I just seriously have been trying to figure out exercise for 7 years and never found a way to be consistent.

Any update on your decision? Interested in this too!
Are there other apps?
I ended up going with a BH branded spin bike. The LK700iC. I got a great deal ($1300) I think and I'm using the Peloton app ($12.99/month). I stream it on my iPad or iPhone or usually, through Apple TV to a 60" TV and surround sound! It's like being in the studio. I LOVE it. The BH has a computer/display and I've figured out the cadence/resistance #s enough to get a great workout. I love that I can join live classes or choose on demand and choose the genre I want, or specific instructor, etc. The downsides - no "century club" shout out from Peloton, no leaderboard (I LOVED That aspect of CycleBar locally) but saved a lot of $$ and I was Leary about all the updates, screen outages etc w/ the Peloton itself (don't let me kid you - I do dream of the Peloton!). I wish my computer display was backlit though as I like to ride while DH and DS's watch movies in the same room!
