UPDATE: Dec. 16, 2023, 5:00 a.m. EST This story has been updated to reflect Mashable’s latest hands-on testing of the top Peloton alternatives and updated pricing information.

You probably know that the pricey, cult-favorite Peloton bikes skyrocketed in demand during the pandemic. Everyone was hyped to achieve their dream bodies without having to hit the gym alongside sweaty, overachieving strangers. It’s been over three years now — three years filled with a lot of ups and downs for Peloton — but the trend of sweating it out at home is here to stay. And around New Year’s, demand for smart gym machines like exercise bikes and fitness mirrors reaches its peak (so many fitness-related resolutions to fulfill! So little time!). To bank on this demand, spin bike brands like Nordic Track and Bowflex usually have major December and January sales. That means the shopping world is chock-full of stationary bike brands whose names don’t start with “Pelo-” and end with “-ton.” Given the ubiquitousness of these so-called Peloton dupes (only some of which are worthy alternatives) and their affordability factor, Peloton just isn’t the go-to option it used to be.Fortunately, Mashable shopping reporters are here to help you find the best Peloton alternatives for your home workout. So, if you’re, like, so over Peloton’s chokehold on American spin culture, then keep reading to learn more about our favorite non-Peloton home exercise bikes.What’s up with Peloton’s pricing and can you get cheaper alternatives?While Peloton had some significant price drops in 2022, permanent prices on its flagship products are back up, likely due to company instability. The OG bike originally sat at $2,195, dropped down to $1,895, then to $1,495, and finally down to $1,195, but now is at a stable $1,445. This original Peloton is now available at Amazon
