I have been using a cheap stationary bike ($200) plus an ipad running free indoor biking workout videos for about 6 years now. I love it - so much so that I created a website to store all the best motivational content I can find for endurance training workouts.
I'm doing Startup School this summer with the project - Slipstream https://slpstream.com/
The mission is to make it easier for people to get a workout done with a motivational content assist. Most of the content is free access, some is from Netflix/Amazon Prime Video and others. I don't produce content, just recommend the best I can find.
In some ways it could be seen as an alternative to Peloton for people who don't want to add another subscription. Or those who would rather use their own equipment.
Initial features are a filter so you can narrow your search by media type (podcasts, documentaries, guided workouts) featured sport, access type (free/Netflix/Amazon Prime etc.) duration, etc. Also a playlist/bookmarking feature where you can cue up a series of videos to roll through during your workout or bookmark podcasts or other content for later.
Roadmap/wishlist is to build a community where users can recommend content to the main site and to each other. Also to monetize via ad sales for promoted posts and featured sponsor/athlete pages where they could feature their content and product recommendations.
I'd love any feedback from readers of this thread who have used Peloton or spent time thinking about it or using alternatives.
p.s. I have a ton more content on my to-add list. If you have any suggestions you can submit content on the site https://slpstream.com/contact/
