Your first statement is bizarrely dismissive and a little condescending. The posters experience was their own. The fact it is positive and made for tv commercials pay actors to pretend to have an experience akin to the posters doesn’t impeach the posters experience in any way. I’d note the fact they’ve been engaged with the product and maintained fitness for years makes it not sound fad-ish at all. Their experience maps to what I hear from peloton owners as well. The level of long term engagement in the product seems very high and has a high stickiness, which for fitness products is very rare - and frankly a very good thing for the human beings whose life is positively changed by it. That’s not something to dismiss, that’s something to cheer. Good for the poster. I wish him years of continued fitness.

On is peloton a fad - it’s definitely not going to be what they thought it was. That was a lockdown induced hallucination. But it seems like with a steadier hand in management it’s a long term viable enterprise. But it won’t be replacing Apple or something like they probably thought they would.
