Peloton

i really want to write a big piece on Peloton - how much its influenced my life. but people get pissed because they see it as a pricey status symbol - like the bike is more expensive than a car, or a hot tub or a pool. it's not. and screw you, if you think i am not entitled to spend money on my health! its a better investment than a car, at this point.

fact is, i've been working out in gyms since i was in my teens. i spent maybe 100 grand on gym dues., over the years.
Not counting bus fare, car gas, and all the other bullshit associated with going to a gym. now with a bike at home, i paid up front two grand, and maybe a monthly fee thats a fraction of my cable bill.
i will never belong to another gym for the rest of my life. in the end i save thousands.

in many ways i think peloton is like the five. when the five started and took off, the people who loved it, saw us as members of their family. in fact, Fox viewers often see us as the same. its really kinda great. no one is star struck - they just start talking to you when they see you at the airport, like you're their long lost uncle, which i am.

i think that's how i feel about peloton - and i think dana and kat and others feel the same: the instructors become family members because they're in your house.

peloton works because they jumble the variables of exercise - so you can't be bored. its as if they applied the game of jeopardy to exercise. different topics, surprises, three segments - and in 30 minutes it over. i get up every morning and look at what they have thats new. and i curate my routine.
this morning i did two 30 minute sections, Hannah, and Cody.
yesterday i did a 45 minute arms/intervials with Emma Lovewell, and then 20 minutes of shoulders/arms with Robin. but the combinations are endless. i can't get enough it.
addiction is bad, unless what you're addicted to is good. and i've lost 40 lbs.

i love Hannah Frankson. she's the most earnest, honest person i've come across. i adore her. she's an instructor. I'd say she's the "Dana" of Peloton. My second fave is Cody Rigsby - a big gay dude who, like Hannah, is a natural star. he will move on to god knows what because he has natural star power, like Hannah.

there are others - all talented hardworking people. but its a network.
mark my words - peloton will be a network in 4 years. There isn't a dud among their staff. (actually i can't stand one person, but i won't say who).

i am curious what you all think. if you're on the bike!

I told my Gutter Friends about my new job this morning even though I haven't told many others. I just want to make sure it works out before I share the news with those around me. Thank you for your kind wishes this morning. I had a pretty good first day.
