Like every shot she's got this look of anxiety and apprehension about riding a damn bike in her home

Why is that woman in the Paloton ad in a constant state of fear?

It's like $3000 and it took her an entire year of use to go from 116 lbs to 112 lbs.
At least give credit to the Twitter thread you ripped this from op š
Dumbass commercial, but the most ridiculous thing is that her SO smiles while watching her peleton sizzle reel video. If my wife made me watch a video of her workout narrations, which i wouldn't even put past her, I'd be like "wtf why are we doing this who cares how much time did you waste doing this you vain loser"

Lmaooo
You can do that by cutting out juice or candy in a matter of weeks.

Damn, the bike is $3K? What happens if the company goes under, no monthly and your stuck with a $3K bike.

Nah but peleton advertises a personal workout thing which syncs you up with real group workout classes. You can still do your own stuff but the whole hook of peleton is the classes
It's prominently featured in the commercial you definitely watched when you made this thread that you didn't rip from somewhere else
I've seen the ad its such a trip. I don't get the family. Like they all get together at night and watch her workout video. Who does that?
He's been trained to smile and nod. She beats him when no one else is around.
This commercial is ridiculous. If the woman were a real-life customer, it could've been great. Instead, she's an attractive, fit woman at the beginning, and an attractive, fit woman at the end that needs constant affirmation.

The same kind of people who give two lexuses for christmas presents.

The only TV I watch is football and OTA daytime Comet TV. So like the only ads I've seen for the entire past month have been this bike ad, and ads for catheters.
"I can barely feel it, it's SO smooth!!"
"I can barely feel it, it's SO smooth!!"
Well if you had the catheter you could spend a lot more time on the bike.
She should look into that.

Someone on Reddit mentioned this could be an amazing set up, like a Black Mirror episode even, if they make the woman realize that her husband was dead all along.
Films herself at 5 am pretending to be miserable, and yet her hair is done, looks wide awake with makeup on.

Reminds me of Leave it to Beaver where June Cleaver would vaccuum the house in high heels
I believe that Peloton operates much like Quitter's Inc from the short story/movie Cat's Eye.
If she doesn't make her goals they will torture her family. Her little videos are meant to show that she is cooperating with the program.

I'm a real life Peloton customer and I can confirm that I am not as attractive or fit as this woman.
Holy shit! I totally forgot about this movie until now. Need to see if it's streaming somewhere.
$3000 to lose 4 pounds in a year.
PT Barnum was right...
I bet whoever buys this also bought the Juicero.

I believe the officialā¢ļø Peloton stationary bike is one of those big, honking magnetic-resistence studio spin bikes, like the ones places like Soulcycle use. Heavy and cumbersome, but extremely low maintenance. It will probably last far longer than the user's workout routine will.
Though, theoretically, you can get the Peloton experience by just downloading the app.
You could even use a gym's bikes, weights, mats, and your phone.
So she not only worked out and lost weight, she also saved her kids from autism while doing so? This woman deserves a medal
Her dead husband's mind was implanted in the bike software and it's sabotaging her workouts so no other man will ever want her.
"A year ago, I didn't realize how much this would CHANGE me. Thank you."
I think she becomes obsessed with riding her Peloton to the point that she spends every waking moment on it, to the exclusion of everyone and everything else in her life, until her family has an intervention. When she says "thank you" she's actually thanking them for saving her from the vicious Peloton cycle. The video they're watching actually chronicles her downward spiral before the epiphany.
(I hate this commercial too.)
Yeah, I'm sick of this commercial.
Eh, not like she was overweight to begin with. Goal in her case would probably be general fitness. I'm underweight but in lousy shape. So I too should exercise more.
It's still a 100% functional stationary bike on it's own. The only question is what happens with the big Android tablet that's attached to it. I would imagine there would still be a selection of pre-recorded classes and stuff you would have access to and you could probably still do the 'scenic rides' which is basically a first-person video of someone biking around a city, at least for a bit until they had to shut down the servers hosting that content. The thing that would definitely die first is the live classes, which is basically what you're subscribing to. Ultimately though, you could just hack the tablet and play shit on YouTube to bike to worst come to worst. Though all this said, I don't see Peloton closing their doors anytime in the near future; business seems to be going pretty decently for them goofy commercials be damned.
These commercials are insanely out of touch. Also I can't help but cringe through this specific spot, with the individual chronicling her exercise achievements with social media posts. No one gives a shit that you're rich and you have an overpriced exercise bike.
Oh lordy I hate this commercial too. There's just so much to unpack with it...
Admittedly I'm not gonna knock the product too much, despite the price and subscription, but the commercials are just all so absurd.
Up there with giving a car as a gift or just about any cell phone commercial in the pantheon of annoying commercials.
