Amazon Black Friday Deals 2024; Save on Peloton App Accessories

4 Comments

Amazon’s 2023 Holiday savings are here! This is the absolute perfect time to find another (and more affordable) spin bike like my old Sunny or my new Keiser M3i. Although prices of the OG Peloton have come way down! You can always keep checking Amazon for the deals they are running on Pelotons and accessories.

There are some amazing deals about to drop. So if you are in the market for a spin bike to use at home with the Peloton App, some weights for strength training (which have been difficult to come by during this pandemic), or a heart rate monitor, this is your chance to save big. You may even be able to score a deal on a flat-screen TV for watching the Peloton App on the big screen (like I do).

Tip No. 1. If you see something here that you like, throw it in your shopping cart and adjust your settings to get notices when the prices drop. Flash sales happen all the time.

Of course, if indoor cycling at home is not your thing, there is always my husband’s book Sully the Squirrel Explores Boston!

Deals for Spinning at Home!

Here are some ideas for everything you need to start spinning at home with the Peloton App (which was only $12.99/mo. but is now $24.99) while saving with Amazon Holiday Deals (Black Friday, etc.). How awesome is that?!

Measuring Peloton Resistance; Sunny, Keiser, NordicTrack and Echelon Resistance Charts

2 Comments

UPDATED MAY 2024. My readers are always on the lookout for a quality Peloton resistance conversion chart. A copy of a resistance chart to complete the “Peloton Hack” is probably THE number one request I receive. As I noted in my earlier “How to Measure Resistance with the Peloton App” post, the questions usually sound like this:

How do I convert Peloton resistance to my Sunny or Keiser M3i?
Is it worth it to buy these fancy power pedals (pretty cool, check them out!)?
Is there anything similar to this Wahoo cadence senso r that will measure resistance?
How do I measure resistance on my Sunny?
How do I convert Peloton resistance when using my own bike with the Peloton App?
Should I just give up on life and buy one of these? (Just kidding…)

Read on to learn more about resistance and see various Peloton conversion resistance charts for Sunny, Keiser, Echelon and NordicTrack spin bikes!

Introducing my Keiser M3i; A Wonderful Pairing with the Peloton App

I did it. I bit the bullet, gifted my Sunny Spin Bike (kitted out with Wahoo speed and cadence sensors) to a dear friend and bought a brand new Keiser M3i. It was a big purchase for me and I didn’t do it without a lot of research. I spent weeks deliberating between the Keiser and Peloton. They have very similar price points but in the end I chose the Keiser. Read on to find out why!
