Even if the other person asked for the bike for Christmas? And just because someone is skinny, doesnt mean they are fit. Just like being overweight does not mean a person is necessarily less fit than a skinny person.

My husband is asking for a Peloton or other fitness bike for Christmas. I'd personally love an elliptical machine.

I got an indoor cycling trainer for Christmas one year - so did my wife!

We use our road bikes on the trainers and watch Sufferfest videos. This is a personal preference, but someone can buy a GREAT road bike and an indoor trainer for the cost of a Peloton, and it's a dual use thing. We train inside in the winter but cycle outside in the rest of the year.

FWIW, I don't get any problem with the ad. I heard about the controversy.....and just don't see it, not at all, not even a little bit. :confused:

Peloton ad: New holiday commercial perplexed the internet - CNN


So I gotta ask.

What's the friggin problem????

How is it some people can find such moronic nonsense to get so worked up about?

I thought exercise and being healthy were good things.

I felt aroused by the ad. Look at how she would lift her butt to the edge as if she's pleasuring herself. Maybe it's a hidden subliminal message? Maybe that's why there's outrage?

If this commercial is supposed to be about getting people in shape, then why does it show an already fit and skinny woman going on a fitness regimen? Shouldn't it show someone overweight trying to get in shape? The ad doesn't make any sense.

Being skinny =/= being in shape. There are plenty of unhealthy skinny people and people who are carrying some extra weight that are in great shape.

Pay shipping and a modest price and your wish can be achieved!

≠ ;)
but you are right. A couple of times I walked behind people and they look like they are in great shape. Great hair, good figure. Then they turn around and look like shriveled up smokers, and most have the voice and cough to go along with it.

She looks in well enough shape but I've known girls that look like that that literally did no work to get it, rocking really low muscle mass. Don't get me wrong...she does look good but I do want to make the distinction that "being in shape" means more.

That's true. I've known skinny people who would gorge themselves with Big Macs and other junk food and never gain one pound.
 
So President Biden has a Peloton! Soon he'll be as trim and curvy as the model! At least he'll save the nation $150,000,000 on NOT golfing!

I saw nothing wrong with commercial at all. It was clear she had mentioned wanting a Peloton. And so what if they have money? Are they going to film the ad in a 30 year old mobile home with dog poop on the floor and laundry piled up to the ceiling? :roll:

People will actively seek out a reason to complain.

I've watched it numerous times,. What is supposed to be the problem, except for the instructor is annoying and the bike is extremely overpriced. Where is the outrage that I am missing.
