I was using the term “these people” as open to interpretation, but you pretty much hit the nail on the head.

Now if a guy decides to buy some sort of workout equipment to kind of send a message to his wife or girlfriend then whatever happens to that stupid bastard happens. He deserves whatever he gets or doesn’t get headed in his direction .

It is a whole body image thing. Which you can't tell any of that from the commerical. Maybe she has a condition and needs exercise to feel her best every day? Maybe she doesn't have an opportunity to go to they gym and she can use this before work at home?

Whatever the intent of the commercial, they didn't make it clear enough. And it allowed peeps to jump on the shame train and imply that she thought she needed to lose weight off her tiny body, or her husband thought she did.

It's all stupid.

As a peloton owner, I loved the commercial. Anyone upset by it isn’t the target market and never will be.

I have a beef with the other (non-viral) commercial though because the bike doesn’t actually power my house.

That‘s a classist statement...Haha. That‘s one of the ways it‘s being criticized. Classist. I guess any Mercedes or Land Rover commercial is also classist.

It’s only “classist” in the sense that everyone with a gym membership (that isn’t ATC) or takes fitness classes is classist.

It’s cheaper than paying for a couple spin classes a week. Or orange theory. Or any other fitness class fad.

Anybody have a problem with the Peloton commercial?

Because I definitely do not.

Sometimes you run across one of those things where if someone loses their minds over something you know there wasn't much mind to lose in the first place. This is one such instance. The person in the ad was clearly happy to have received the bike. Moreover the rest of the ad was about her being grateful for it over time and it having been good for her in her own voice.

Anyone having nothing better to do than wind themselves up from building some pyramid of inferences is someone that needs a real hobby.

For me, it's the one about credit card relief. Hyping getting out from under the evil credit cards for a fraction of what you owe. Closely followed by any and all slip and fall lawyer commercials.

The supposedly sexist Peloton commercial is infinitely better than the current one of the guy singing while he spins. Annoying what appears to be his son in the process.
