As I said, I'd guess most spin class enrollees probably don't even know such a technology or platform exists. I know personally having had a couple conversations with people who do spin who hadn't heard of a such thing as a smart trainer and the apps out there.

I'm also unclear why any somewhat funded operation (eg. SoulCycle or whatnot) doesn't just make available at-home classes that come with your in-store membership.. if you have your own bike trainer of any kind, and turn on some type of Livemeeting/Webex app on your home laptop, what's the difference vs peloton?
