So much more than a spin studio, Peloton offers a unique fitness experience. At the 23rd Street flagship, one can take spin classes, enjoy a snack from Jack’s Stir Brew, and load up on exercise gear. Or, avid bikers can take the whole thing home. The spin bikes created by Peloton feature a computer about as strong as the average tablet and four times as large. They allow riders to stream live classes from the studio on 23rd Street to their homes anywhere around the world. Now, instead of riding alone in the basement, one can engage with those in the studio and other at-home riders. An instructor will still provide personal shout-outs and push riders' limits, just as if everyone were in the same room. The focus at Peloton is community. Sideways team member Courtney really experienced this when she took a ride one Thursday morning. Instructor and co-founder Marion dedicated her ride to all Leos, giving personalized birthday shout-outs to each Leo rider along the way. The playlist was appropriately curated for the event, with Selena Gomez’s “Birthday” and Katy Perry’s “Roar. ”Even on less special occasions, Peloton does everything to take care of their community. Each ride includes shoe rental, bottled water, and a post-workout coffee or tea from Jack’s. The locker room has everything one could need from quality shower products to hair ties and bobby pins. Without having to worry about hauling all of these things to the gym, riders can de-stress, sit back (or stand up), and enjoy the ride.
