The Editor-Favorite Peloton Bike Is 0 Off for Prime Day

THERE’S A WIDE range of Amazon Prime Day fitness deals you can take advantage of next week. If you’re looking to upgrade your cardio, this deal should be one of them: The original Peloton Bike will be 30% off as part of an Amazon invite-only offer on Prime Day, meaning you can save more than $400 off the popular connected exercise bike. This is the best discount we’ve ever seen on gear from the industry-leading Peloton.

In order to score the deal, members need to request an invite for the sale, which goes live July 16th. If you aren’t a member yet, there’s still plenty of time. Once you’ve logged in, click the link to request an invite to purchase for this exclusive deal.

Original Peloton Bike

Cons
  • Need to buy one of the monthly subscriptions to get the full value of your investment.
  • Requires clip-in pedal shoes.

The Peloton Bike was just named the “Best Bike for Spinning” on our list of best exercise bikes. Our editors recently put this bike through rigorous testing for three months to discover that it is streamlined and sturdy, with all of that best-in-class content we’ve learned to expect from Peloton. There’s a reason that Peloton counts Troy Aikman, JJ Watt, Stephen Curry, and David Beckham amongst its devotees.

The Original Bike has a 22-inch HD touchscreen that displays your class, stats and more. The screen’s angle is easily adjustable depending on who is riding and the rear-facing speakers let you clearly listen to the instructor’s guidance and music without headphones. You can change your resistance by turning the knob on the body of the bike to keep up with class.

You’ll still have to shell out $44 per month for a Peloton app membership to take full advantage of classes, but it’ll come easier knowing that you saved up to $300 on the bike itself. And the bike does work without the app, if you want to go low-tech with it. Home gym equipment can get pricey, so it’s good to strike while the iron’s hot and join the droves of fitness enthusiasts, including our own editors, who love this bike.

Now if you don’t want to wait for the sale, here are a few of our favorite exercise bikes that are already discounted ahead of Prime Day.

What Is Amazon Prime Day?

Every year, Amazon chooses two days in mid-summer to offer deep discounts to Prime members, with tens of thousands of products on sale. In addition to brands like Apple and Brooks, Amazon’s own products typically go on sale. Be on the lookout for discounts on Echo speakers or a Fire TV.

What Are the Amazon Prime Day 2024 dates?

Prime Day will take place July 16 and 17, 2024, but you can expect to see sales before and after those dates. If you spot a great deal before the 16th, go ahead and snag it, because popular products tend to sell out. If you don’t have time to shop on the actual Prime Day dates, there are still deals to be had, as Amazon has kept the sales going on certain products for as long as they have inventory in the past.

Do I Have to Be An Amazon Prime Member to Shop on Prime Day?

Yes, you must have an Amazon Prime membership to get these discounts, but becoming a member is easy and costs $14.99 a month (or $139 a year). You can also sign up for a 30-day free trial that aligns with the sale. Pro tip: There are two less expensive options worth looking into—a student membership or the Prime Access program.

New workout makes fitness more accessible for moms

New workout makes fitness more accessible for moms

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – Finding time to work out as a mom with young kids can be a challenge in itself, especially when you’re new to an area and don’t know where to start. However, a new fitness option strolled into Sioux Falls today. iStroll offers moms the chance to work out and meet other moms all while their kids can play or even join alongside them.

iStroll is a national organization that has more than 35 locations in the country but this is the first time one opened in South Dakota. It’s a full body workout that incorporates dumbbells, body weight, and jogging strollers when the weather’s nice.

“I found iStroll in Oklahoma and fell in love,” said Kelsi Supek who started the affiliate in Sioux Falls. “We made friends. It became our entire social network. The kids loved it and then we moved to Arizona during COVID. And all the moms were stuck at home. They were inside with our kids and lonely, honestly. And we were like, why can’t we start an iStroll and be out at the parks with the kids every day? And it took off.”

When Supek moved to Sioux Falls, she was encouraged by her family to start an affiliate and own it herself.

“Gym daycares did not work out for my children,” said Supek. “I would get 10 minutes into a class and then I’d have that person trying to knock outside the yoga studio going, Can I have Kelsey and her kids screaming in daycare? And it just didn’t work for us. So at iStroll they could be with me or I could be breastfeeding the baby as I was teaching in class.”

Classes are planned to continue each Wednesday and Friday at We Rock the Spectrum and First Presbyterian Church. For a full schedule for January and February, you can look at their Facebook. The first class is also free and memberships are for the whole family.

“Letting the kids see you work out is, it’s similar to homeschooling where like, you know, how are they going to love working out if they don’t see you working out,” said Kelly Jardeleza, a stay-at-home mom of three kids. “Whereas at other gyms they put them in a room and they don’t get to watch you. And how are you going to inspire them if they’re not watching you do it?”

Share your health and fitness questions for Devi Sridhar, Mariella Frostrup, and Joel Snape

There’s no bad time to take a more active interest in your health, but the new year, for lots of us, feels like a fresh start. Maybe you’re planning to sign up for a 10k or finally have a go at bouldering, eat a bit better or learn to swing a kettlebell. Maybe you want to keep up with your grandkids — or just be a little bit more physically prepared for whatever life throws at you.

To help things along, Guardian Live invites you to a special event with public health expert Devi Sridhar, journalist and author Mariella Frostrup, and health and fitness columnist Joel Snape. They’ll be joining the Guardian’s Today in Focus presenter Annie Kelly to discuss simple, actionable ways to stay fit and healthy as you move through the second half of life: whether that means staying strong and mobile or stressing less and sleeping better.

To make the whole event as helpful as possible, we’d love to hear from you about what you find most challenging — or confusing — when it comes to health and exercise. What should you actually be eating, and how are you going to find the time to make it? What sort of exercise is best, and how often should you be doing it? Is Pilates worth the effort — and should we really all be drinking mugfuls of piping hot creatine?

Whether your question is about exercise, eating, or general wellness, post it below and we’ll put a selection to our panel on the night.
