The Peloton Sale of the Year Has Arrived for Amazon Prime Big Deal Days—So Get Ready to Scoop Up the Must-Have Bike

You've seen it in commercials, spotted it in the first season of And Just Like That... and your BFF is probably in a make-believe relationship with one of the viral instructors (we're looking at you, Alex Toussaint). Basically, you shouldn't be surprised that the Peloton bike is still one of the hottest items to own today. What will shock you, though, is the *huge* Peloton sale happening for Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, which is on now through October 11. We think the up to $500 off markdowns on the at-home spin bikes are among the best deals you can score within the next 48 hours, but only Prime members have access to them. So sign up now for a free 30-day trial if you haven't done so—or regret it two days from now when the sale is over.

Let's be honest, your besties are probably all over the Peloton deals, which also include some accessories for up to 25 percent off (because you'll need the shoes, mat and weights, at the very least). But here's why you don't want to miss out on joining the Peloton family: Peloton isn't just an at-home exercise bike, it's an experience. The bikes come with *tons* of perks, including a stereo speaker system to blast your workout classes (BTW, there are thousands), a multi-touch touchscreen to get in the zone with the help of famous instructors (assuming you have the $44 all-access monthly membership) and a built-in microphone to actively participate in virtual classes. And that's not even half of it, as you'll soon realize after seeing how much progress one TikToker made within a year—no, seriously, we're still shook, see below.

But Are Peloton Bikes Really Worth the Price Tag?

Even when they're not on sale, we think the Original Peloton ($1,445; $1,095) and Peloton Bike+ ($2,495; $1,995) are worth taking the plunge. With the original measuring 59 inches deep, 23 inches wide and 53 inches tall, and the Bike+ coming in at 59 inches deep, 22 inches wide and 59 inches tall, they're both not only considered small-space-friendly, but PureWow editors can vouch for their sleek design. Most importantly, as riders ourselves, we can confirm that it's as fun and engaging as any cycling class we've ever been to, but with the added benefit of being able to sweat your butt off in the comfort of your home and pause at literally any moment, whether you get tired or your phone rings.

Don't just take my word for it. Amazon reviewers have plenty of good things to say about Peloton. One writes, "I started with an intro ride (a basic ride for beginners), and I loved the entire 20 minutes. The instructor was really personable, and even though [the workout] was recorded over a year ago, I felt like she was right next to me, encouraging me when I needed it." Others warn that you'll sweat like crazy but feel more fit than ever, which, after all, is kind of the point. But how do you choose between the Original Peloton and the Peloton Bike+ this Prime Big Deal Days? We've got you covered with their pros, cons and top features below to help you choose before the sale ends.

You need to buy shoes, a mat and weights to accompany your Peloton, especially if you want to start cycling as soon as it arrives in the mail. Luckily, these items are also on sale right now, so we highly recommend adding them to cart. Worried about the set up process? With your purchase of either bike, Amazon offers free expert assembly to unpack and assemble the equipment for you in your home at checkout. There's also a 90-day refund or replacement policy if you don't end up loving your new bike, which likely won't be the case.

Ready to get your sweat on? Don't forget to spring for the $44 All-Access monthly membership to enjoy a ton of instructor-led themed classes like the Beyoncé Two For One Ride and Holiday Broadway Yoga Flow. Perhaps we'll see you there!
