Yup that ad generated sure generated a lot of publicity. Prior to that ad my impression of Peloton was that it was a niche toy reserved for rich people. Not unlike how the uneducated masses think of Tesla.
After all the negative backlash publicity against the ad, I became interested in Peloton the product/service. Showed it to wife and agreed, yup, we both wanted one. To be fair to the lady in the ad, she looks like she actually did a Peloton workout as they shot that video footage. Kudos to her. I don’t look that good after a workout on the bike. I typically look like a sweaty corpse.
