We reviewed the Peloton Bike in 2022, awarding it 4.5 out of 5, and our tester, Louise Carey said, "The Peloton Bike is nothing short of excellent. Not only does it feature a refined and robust design that supports you through energetic spin classes, but the Peloton App is a genuine game-changer for those who struggle with workout motivation."
However, one of her biggest complaints was the price, but with this $400 saving it becomes a lot more attractive. It's worth mentioning you'll need the Peloton app and a subscription ($40 per month) to access many of the features, including on-demand workouts. You get a free month as part of this offer, but even without the app, it's still a fantastic exercise bike.
Key features: Superb HD touchscreen included, small footprint, on-demand workouts.
Price history: This deal is one of the best prices we've seen and a significant saving well worth a look for Peloton newcomers.
Price comparison: $1,145 on Amazon with the same discount.
Reviews consensus: Our best exercise bike pick with a healthy discount? Sign us up. While the subscription costs may seem expensive, it's basically the same as a gym membership. There are thousands of fantastic workouts on offer and you get a free one-month subscription with the purchase. It's also easy to get to grips with and doesn't take up a great deal of space in your home either.
