Here’s the thing about a Peloton bike, Echelon bike or the like: You have to buy not only the very pricey hardware, but also the fitness-class subscription. A Peloton, for example, costs a hefty $2,245, and then you’re on the hook for $39 a month. Echelon offers bikes for less (including a few under $1,000<\/span>), but the accompanying class plan runs $40 a month.<\/p>\n Ah, but what if you could pay that same rate and get a bike effectively for free? You can: For a limited time, the ProForm Studio Bike Pro is $39 a month for three years<\/span><\/strong> — iFit membership included. (Note that this deal occasionally changes between the Pro and Limited models, but the two appear to be virtually identical.)<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong> The best at-home fitness equipment for 2020<\/span><\/p>\n OK, so this is basically a 0%-interest financing plan, one that totals out to $1,403 after three years. But there’s no up-front cost — even shipping is free — and when you’re done, you own the bike. Yes, you’ll have to continue paying $39 a month if you still want iFit classes, though there are discounts available if you prepay for a year or more.<\/p>\n
