This is the first thing I've ever read that made me interested in trying Peloton! I always assumed it was weight loss focused like most other exercise communities, so I never bothered. I feel like I'm finally understanding what makes Peloton tick (good and bad) by reading your explorations of it.

My extended family got really into Peloton over the last year and it's so interesting how each of us has a slightly different relationship with it. We have the badge seekers, the leaderboard guys, the program completionists, the adamant leaderboard hiders (which weirdly include the two most competitive people), and my mom who was so proud of her century shirt for walking even though she has never looked at her stats in any way shape or form. I really love how this platform has gotten each of us to improve our fitness in a way that feels strangely personal, but in a way we can share it with each other.
