I use the Bike a few times a week but use the platform daily. Right now I’m focusing on yoga and strength classes so the Bike has taken a backseat (lol pun intended) for now.
It’s the one thing since having my first kid nearly 11 years ago that has enabled me to exercise consistently and move my body every day (including recovery days). I’m a little bummed that the company seems to be struggling but now at least I know working out at home is how I can work out consistently.
I bought my bike on a whim about 3 months before the pandemic started. I now have the bike and two treadmills, lol. I don’t use the bike that much anymore, but my FI does. I use the tread the most. Regardless, something Peloton-branded is getting used in this house every single day. I would be lost without them, and it is the only platform that has gotten me to consistently strength train. Peloton has literally changed my life.
also, because I don’t need two treadmills and only ended up with two because I bought the tread+ when it came back on the market, I’m looking to sell the standard tread. If anyone in the Philadelphia area is in the market for a peloton standard tread, ummm, let me know!
Still use it regularly but also back at the gym. I like the versatility of the two options. I probably go to the gym 1-2 days a week and workout with peloton 2-3 days a week. Gym is for socializing and hard workouts. Peloton is for convenience.

Not exactly the same but my husband uses his road bike on a trainer every day. He will ride occasionally on the roads but he drives to to the mountains since the roads around here are too congested. He also has a weight set at home. He's an introvert who likes to work out at home so if he had been a peloton guy it would have gotten so much use no problem.
I don't like to work out at home or in a gym so I'm glad we didn't get one for me. I like to play tennis or run, walk or cycle outside or go to my yoga studio.
So good to do what you love--our workout preferences haven't changed our whole marriage.
I got mine in 2019. I actually haven’t used it in a few months but I use the peloton app/platform every single day (strength, running, barre etc). I got a little bored with the bike and switched it up but I’ll be back soon. I’m at almost 1200 lifetime rides and close to 4000 workouts total. Still peloton obsessed lol.
I have a Keiser bike that I use with the app. I haven't ridden in awhile because of some health stuff I'm working through, but I use the app daily to time stretching out my back every night, and I use it multiple times a week for yoga, mobility classes, and meditation. I also try to get in enough strength workouts for a bronze or silver badge each month, and a bronze badge for walking.

I was using the app and riding on my non-branded spin bike. I actually just quit the app because I realize I much prefer to lift according to my own programming (but still in my basement) and then walk outside.
That said, between the pandemic and then our smoke-y months, I was riding a LOT and was glad to have it.
