Good time to buy shares if that’s your thing. Although I do wonder if their bubble had burst in terms of growth etc, delivery times are only a few weeks now for the bike, unlike at the start of the year when it was a few months. I’m still choosing my bike over the gym from now on but not sure their sales will see the same boost again

I don't think buying any shares would be a good idea! They were falling from the peak early this year before this all. I'm not convinced they will continue to grow much - they haven't successfully managed to go outside of the spinning niche and so many competitors have eaten away at that potential market.

Yes amazing it’s only 2%!
Really surprised at that too actually, it seems to be very popular for those that have it.

not surprised about the recall tbh though they’d have to prise it from my hands if I did have one! I think now that the gyms are opening and vaccines are more available they probably won’t have the same sort of growth again. Hopefully those with shares sold at the right time!

ETA - I’ve just read that they may not be making any content for it anymore which in hindsight would mean I’d get a refund, part of the draw of having the peloton is new classes

I think we are going to cancel our order, we have a Tread and a Bike + on order the Bike is due to arrive tomorrow and the Tread next week. My husband is now looking at Nordic Track.
 
I really doubt they'll stop making new Tread content. It's a voluntary recall so a lot of people will choose to keep their treadmills, and a massive amount of people seem to use the app with a different treadmill or outdoor runs. I'll be really surprised if they pull any of the Tread classes.

How did they release a tread that had a wobbly dodgy screen though? Peloton seems such a slick company that it feels odd that they’ve done so badly with this.

Is it me or are they repeating old classes and pretending they're live? Some of the instructors bodies do look a bit different - which if anything I like as during covid it shows even the pros have struggled. Although the change is from ridiculously fit to very fit 😆

Which instructors? I've fell out of love with the lives and only been repeating my fave classes over the last couple of weeks with a few Kendall emo live rides thrown in!

I’m getting back into it too, I only did 4 classes in April 😬 but 10 this month. Keep thinking that doesn’t justify the cost of the bike but I would’ve done zero exercise AND paid for a gym had I not got the bike so I do think it’s worth it

just more stuff in the gym, weightlifting - doing sets and reps etc
i used to love it but it just hasn’t gelled the same with me again
that sounds like so much fun!!
 
I started the new powerzone training programme this week and it’s pretty tough! Retook my FTP test before which is hideous so I would recommend if you’re looking for an excellent workout lol
 
They’ve dropped the ball today. Apparently withdrew the option to purchase the extended warranty on Thursday. Can now only get it if you purchase at the same time as the bike. Haven’t told any customers or changed their T&C’s

Yes what a tit show. However I called up an hour or so ago and spoke to someone in the US and got mine. Relieved as I got my bike almost a year ago.

Lots of people kicking off on the Facebook groups rightfully so! Seems as though existing customers can do so but new ones need to do at the time of purchasing or they won’t be able to extend
