Peloton

This is the Aston Martin of exercise bikes offering all the benefits of an immersive indoor cycling studio in your own home. Once you’ve bought your bike for £39 a month you can tune in to a live spin class, or one of the thousands of stored workouts that can be filtered by music, instructor and difficulty. The built-in screen tracks vitals and provides motivating visuals. Bikes aren’t cheap with prices starting from £1,750, but they are silent, so you shouldn’t upset the rest of the house with frantic peddling. Peloton also have a digital app with a 30-day free trial that can be used on other equipment and includes classes in cardio, strength and even chair yoga. Check out onepeloton.co.uk
