I've got a Peloton. You try them? Yes, its expensive BUT they have payment plans, it's worth the money, AND, you get so much with your subscription.

@jawbreaker31 I haven't looked into it just because I've heard they're expensive. Just looking for something simple for now. Just ordered one that I found in stock thankfully!

I know before all this they had 30 day trials. Not sure if that stopped now. I'm on the workout or keep eating my feelings part of quarantine.

@jawbreaker31 oh, I want a Peloton !

I'm in the use it or lose it stage of my Peloton. Check back later. I've randomly seen ones on local garage sale sites. There's a Peloton Buy, Sell, and trade page you might have luck getting one for cheaper. Sometimes Craiglist and all those have cheaper ones too. Otherwise they do have a payment plan.
