I mean, unless they SPECIFICALLY ASK for this, like the exact equipment for christmas, then this is rude to surprise someone with.

I don't know what I'd do if a paramour bought it for me, aside from ask for the gift receipt and take it back

A $2500 bike = 250 months of my gym membership

Apparently you also pay a monthly subscription to Peleton? So it's even more.

[lurkurheartout]

Yeah you have to subscribe to their service to get the videos and stuff. It’s insane.

[abcdlovelife]

First time seeing it, it's just a bad commercial lol.

I mean she looks the same beginning to end.

I feel for the actress who did this.

All of Peloton's commercials are shit. Nobody needs to get up at 6 am and ride an exercise bike.

Also you can buy a regular exercise bike or treadmill and a tv for half that cost.

Lol they have to watch the vid of her riding the bike throughout the year? Wtf?

Also I don’t see anything wrong since she obviously knows the brand/bike in the ad and could’ve easily wanted to receive it or mentioned it.

Although I guess it could be more sinister if it was because he forced her to record herself on it to make sure she was using it.

Yeah I didn't find offensive. It's just a terrible commercial.
