Oh, Darling! Let me tell you about my Peloton

Confession: I’d never taken a single spin class before I suggested we buy a Peloton. I’d done my research, made a few lists, weighed the pros and con’s, and quickly determined I could’ve bought 3 Peloton’s with all the money I’d spent at Pure Barre the last nearly two years. It was basically a no brainer. We opted for a little date night excursion, filled with tacos and a trip to the Peloton store - if that’s not true love, I don’t want it! 

Now let me start by saying, I love Pure Barre. The workout is killer, and I’d probably still be going daily if there was one closer to home and work. But I had to take some time off for an injury, my contract was up, and it was time to splurge on what Caleb assumed would be a very expensive clothing rack. I was hooked after my first class, but I was fortunate enough to ride in the NYC studio for ride #7 with Jennifer Jacobs. Much to his surprise 15 months in, my nearly 900 completed classes can speak for themselves.

I am addicted to this piece of machinery, and will absolutely tell anyone who will listen how magnificent it truly is. Remember Napoleon Dynamite’s Uncle Rico? “Hey, y’all wanna see my video?” This is me, except “Hey, y’all wanna see my Peloton?”

You know how much I love a good list, so it’s only fair I make one for you. Here is a very small list of some of my very favorite classes:

If you’re considering buying one, do it. If you need the sales pitch, just give me a call and I’ll ramble until you’re formally convinced. Peloton has a 30 day free trial through their app, but has recently extended it to a 90 day free trial. I meannnn, there’s no reason not to try it!

Spin like the wind! Yours Truly,
