Any apartment dwellers have a peloton? I really want one but I’m worried about annoying my downstairs neighbors

Why it’s not a treadmill, I can’t imagine the people below you would hear anything if you put the typical mat under it. (I own a peloton bike, they are very quiet)

Warning tho, due to corona they don’t carry it into your place and set it up like they typically do, so if you have a walk up it might be tough.

Are you afraid them hearing your money bags rolling about?

Absolutely. I run a sweatshop and need something to drown out the noise.

If someone is out of the seat it can make some noise. Ours is upstairs and I can hear when my husband is on high resistance and out of the seat.

I live on the bottom floor. I would prefer my upstairs neighbor to have a peleton vs their current treadmill..

Have had one for almost 3 years. Never had a compliant from neighbors below. The bike comes with a mat that absorbs any sound but for most part is pretty quiet as it is a stationary bike.

Yes, I got mine on amazon and it’s perfect and was way cheaper!

For the same price or less you can also buy a nice road bike + turbo trainer, then use the peloton app

C2 the smart trainers have apps that connect to the actual device by Bluetooth and keep track of that information. BCG1 is also correct, you can do races and different terrains with a trainer

I own one and live in an apartment . It makes no noise. Not an issue at all

I bought one - only noise is me alternating between 80s lyrics & cursing out the instructors

funny

Also if you do buy one use someone’s referral code - it will get you $100 off the weights/shoes etc that you will probably want anyways + they get apparel credit (happy to provide if needed ;) )

You can also get non- peloton shoes and weights from target for better prices/higher quality. I used the credit for shoes and then my bf got cycling shoes with peloton cleats and they are much nicer. Nike just launched some as well.

FOLLOWING. I want one but have the same worry

My roommates just got one! We’re in a 3 story townhouse & they keep it on the 3rd floor. I don’t notice anything when they’re riding except for the class instructor or music makes it just seem like they’ve got the TV on loud. Not sure whether they could put earphones in or not. I don’t notice any cycling noises. For comparison, few weeks before this they tried the regular bicycle and had one wheel stationary to simulate an exercise bike (idk what that is called), and it make the entire place buzz - even down to the first floor. Peloton for the win!

I have one, zero complaints from my neighbors...just put a decent mat under it.

Hi moms. My son just turned two and he seems to suddenly develop a fear of strangers, including kids at his age at the playground. Is this normal?

I am wondering whether it is an early sign of autism, or normal mental development, or just bcoz of pandemic.

This bowl is toxic as hell. It’s like all the worst parts of political social media crammed into one place. It stopped being about how to deal with corona and has become this mess of “I know better than you” “your politics are wrong” and all the worst parts of online communities. We are supposed to be some of the best talent in the business and most here act like high schoolers.
