Exercise equipment, scams, and ads

[noharleyyet]

I've been instructed to find a stationary bike so I did a couple of searches for a particular brand I'm used to from my gym, and the #1 hit comes up with a legit sounding site with some 'great' pricing...yet I can call and get an even lower Mother's Day discount....almost bit. Went back and did a review search...two total reviews, both scathing. Seems no one ever received product and had hell with refunding. Looked at other sites and refurbished were triple the bogus joints offerings. Anyway.....watch out & also I'm being bombarded with texts, email ads, and facebook spams.

Can't wait to get my covid chip implanted.

Have you considered upgrading to the shake weight?

Turds that try to scam a living like that are cut from the same cloth as the people who leave all their used diapers and empties of Monster in the woods.

Don't forget the people that put their dog crap into a plastic bag and then leave it. Just leave the damn turd on the ground and save the bag.

Peleton tacks on the "William Devane Rosaland Capital-like" fee to their price. Gotta pay for those 50 shades ads Charles.

not sure if you are asking for recommendations or just complaining about the problems associated with the search. "If" looking for recommendations, and since you and Sytes brought up Peleton , when our grandfather wanted one we ask April, and she recommended Peleton which comes with something like 50 different bike rides throughout the world, It is a pretty nice set up but a little more than some of the budget bikes. Our grandfather literally has his phone and computer all hooked into it and can ride for quite a while while doing other stuff at the same time. Granted he is not using it to train for a bike race.

Sytes, Harley, I will have to ask him if he is able to watch 50 shades of grey while riding on it. Sometimes his heart rate goes up and he does not seem to be pedaling any faster, so maybe

Peloton is quality stuff, BUT you are paying for the classes, online and live, as much as the bike. If you don't want that part, just want an excercise bike, then don't do it.

I have a friend who LOVES hers, and I have a friend who bought it and doesn't use it. It comes with a monthly fee and the cost of the bike is high due to the technology embedded, it essentially has a wireless laptop on it
