A DIY Home Spin Peloton Bike for Less than $450

Who has been wanting a peloton but not wanting to spend the 2k plus a 40 dollar a month  subscription.    I did spin for years over the  a Club ex both the Brockton and EB locations  Me! Honestly I could't justify getting one so I did a ton of research on  find a home  spin bike that didn't break the bank.  

This was one of the videos that really helped me decide to get Sunny Health and Fitness Bike 

My entire set up has been less than $450    include the Sunny Health & Fitnesss B1002 model.    You want to make sure you get one of the belt vs the chain!  I also research making sure that you wanted to get a heavy flywheel. This one was 49lb.   

A few accessories 

Wahoo Cadence  RPM senior   this will tell  you how fast you are going. You can even synch this up  with Peloton app and follow along with the  spin  instructor.  

If you want to have your heart rate appear on the peloton app  you can get the wahoo ones there is a wrist, chest and arm strap available    You need to have a device that has ANT + TECH  I have a fitbit but but that doesnt have the  ANT+ tech. The Fitbit is good to be able to track my heartrate its own app.  

Tablet or Iphone holder   I am using an ipad as my screen but you can use your phone as well.  You can do the classes 

Bike seat cover  OMG you will need one.   My 50 year old ass was hurting for my first 2 days and I order one for rush shipping.   

I will be picking up  one of the manual resistance gauge  that have gotten high reviews.  

I feel like I am getting a good workout!   I don't need leaderboards to motivate me. The app will keep track of my workouts.  

The Peloton App and Digital Subscription is known for the cycling workouts, but at $12.99/month, it is a great value that also includes yoga, meditation, strength, bootcamp, and running workouts. My favorite instructors are Robin, and Jen Sherman so far!  

Check with your health insurance to see if they offer it FREE!  I just 12 months of it free thru United Health Care. 

Beachbody has come out with the MYX  bike, the sunny bike works just as well for beachbody BODI cycling workouts.    No need to pay $1400 for a bike that has a screen. I play the workouts on ipad again.
