+1. If you would otherwise be spending $30/class to attend a spin class at a gym, it's a decent value proposition. $2000+ $40/month for unlimited classes quickly seems small if you would otherwise be going to 8-10 classes/month at a studio, plus no need to schedule or go to the gym - it's whenever you want.
If you're comparing it to sinking $2000 into a new road bike, with a $500 annual budget for parts/upgrades and service, then you're not really making a good comparison.
