Peloton Bike
Connected stationary bike with live and on-demand classes
A stationary bike with a screen, a subscription and a large library of instructor-led rides. People in this directory mostly use it for intervals rather than the classes, because a bike lets you reach a hard effort without the joint load of running. The bike is a big one-off cost and the membership is monthly.

Biomedical scientist · FoundMyFitness
Her interval sessions happen on a Peloton. Left to her own devices she gets on it and runs a Tabata class. The bike is not the point, she says: a rower or a treadmill would do the same job, because what matters is the intensity you reach.
