Aparna Surapaneni, a home-fitness enthusiast based in Houston, Texas, has used her Peloton bike since 2017, but thinks the best part about the experience is the app and the Peloton ecosystem. The Guide, like other Peloton classes, replicated being in an in-person class, too, by displaying small icons of the other members who are currently taking that class or session. It offers metric tracking and syncing with the Peloton app, just like it does with the Peloton Bike and Tread. People who are familiar with Peloton’s network of classes and instructors will find the Guide a handy companion. I found that reinforcement much more encouraging than following along with a YouTube workout on my own. In this way, the Guide encourages you to commit to each rep and set within the workout. The screen displays a half-circle meter that fills only when you hold a pose or do a rep. After testing the Guide for a month of mainly strength and weight-training workouts, I found the tracking feature to be much more effective than I expected. (It requires a power outlet, and you navigate the Guide with the included remote.) It tracks your movements while you take Peloton classes, like weight training, yoga, or cycling (you can follow along with any Peloton class on the Guide), and provides detailed feedback on each session you take - like how many sets you completed and what muscle groups you activated.
It’s not a bulky machine - it’s a camera that hooks up to a monitor or TV. While it’s hard to pick one “best” piece of smart home-gym equipment, the Peloton Guide comes closest for its affordability, access to a wide variety of guided workouts, and size. No additional cost for paying Peloton members / Accessories: None included with base package dumbbells and mats available with other Guide bundles Versatility: strength workouts, cycling, running, yoga, stretching, cardio | Subscription cost: $24/month with no pre-existing Peloton membership. Whether you want to go on a guided trail run, cycle, lift weights, or even row with a world-class trainer in your living room, there truly is something out there for all kinds of exercisers. Since nearly all of these machines will set you back at least a couple hundred dollars, we tested out some of the most exciting options and talked to fitness experts to see which ones are worth the cost. Plus, a handful of fitness brands have launched promising at-home workout classes to go with the equipment that have all of the energy and community of in-person studio gatherings (and will track your performance and even adapt to keep up with your fitness gains). Some of these workout stations are so complete that they make you question if you need a gym membership at all. Thankfully, at-home workout equipment has gotten more sophisticated over the past few years. Lots of us are still working out in our living rooms and bedrooms post-pandemic.
