I’m throwing the B.S. flag on this one. You have GOT to be kidding me. And giving a psuedo reference for deformation of asphalt vs concrete under the circumstances of running is ridiculous.

Thank you for reaching out to us. It is always recommended that you speak with your obstetrician about adopting any exercise regime during pregnancy. If your doctor does clear you for cycling, I personally found using my Peloton while pregnant was very convenient and helped me stay active and fit without stressing my body. I was able to modify my effort and intensity without letting my heart rate get high. For me personally, it was one of the best investments we made and now that I have a child, it is even more convenient and allows me to stay in great shape. It is also a fun way to exercise with great coaches and a variety of classes that are offered through the Peloton. – Laura DeMeo, Manager Business Development -Endurance Sports, Team XRCEL.

I’m now in my late 20’s with one child and have expectations of becoming pregnant in the next few months. Going to the gym has become increasingly more difficult with work, hubby’s availability to watch our daughter and life. I’m considering getting a peloton in the next month. I’ve stayed in shape over the years and my last pregnancy, but not necessarily specific to cycling. Would you recommend I make the investment starting as a beginner cyclist again and (soon) early in pregnancy?

I am 56 years of age and have struggled with the energy levels on my run. This past weekend I participated in the New Jersey Marathon, running the 5k and my wife running the half marathon. I was introduced to your product at the Expo and was impressed by the sales staff. After using your product, my 5k was two minutes faster and I felt GREAT!!!. My wife an elite runner, also used your product and stated she felt so much better, ranking 2nd in her age group. I also am a tactical instructor for a private training company. Endurance is essential and will be recommending your product.
