As someone who works in the fitness industry, the answer is YES. There will be a lot of used exercise equipment (including Pelotons) on Craigslist this summer.
We have a Peloton bike. I use it occasionally in the winter months. My wife uses it a lot. Bought it used right before the pandemic for $900. We also have a treadmill. Not the Peloton one but a decent home version by LifeFitness. I set up a big TV in front of the machines. My wife’s casts the treadmill classes from her phone app onto the TV. She also does this with the strength classes and I’ll occasionally put on one of Peloton’s yoga or stretch classes. To us it’s worth the monthly subscription.
And it makes me feel sexy AF.
If you use it, it’s great. If you don’t, then it just gets in the way.
Currently ours is just in the way. I had a good routine going last spring, doing spin, stretching, strength, or yoga pretty much every day.
my wife has one, Her review below.

Thanks for the feedback. The $450 savings ($200 off bike and $250 off shipping) is well lol.

Was gonna chime in that we went the ghetto Peloton route: Schwinn IC4 bike and peloton app.
Pros: $15 a month for the app vs $45 if you have the bike. Bike less expensive. Use chromecase on the ipad to send it to the big screen basement tv. Cadence and HR from the bike do BT to the iPad to have that in the app. SPD pedals so I dont need the stupid single use peloton shoes.
Cons: No power/output (if you want that), the "levels" don't like up exactly, but people on reddit have created a correlation.
Would do it again the way I did it 100%

We have a Peloton bike and recently got a Tread. I use the bike occasionally but haven't touched the Tread yet. Wifey uses them everyday and is obsessed. She loves the "achievements" and shoutouts but she's also really committed and getting/staying really fit. Without the social aspects of it, she would definitely be less committed. Convenience of having it in the basement for use whenever is great but you don't need Peloton brand for that. Hopping on the bike for 20-60 min is much more convenient than driving to a trail for a "real" ride which is like a 3-4 hour endeavor for me but obviously not as fun. It is stupid expensive but she's my sugar momma so it's on her. We got the bike right before COVID hit and it was perfect timing - for our family, it's worth it.
One more note is that wifey originally had the FlyWheel at home bike before Peloton and was pretty into it and also went to Millburn FlyWheel studio. Peloton sued FlyWheel out of business and we got the Peloton bike as a free replacement due to being a FlyWheel user. She was kinda pissed at Peloton for that but quickly drank the Peloton Kool Aide.

Did this with a couple peeps too - more multiple scheduled classes, and just jump in.
Gamification would be the draw, more competing against yourself - which would contribute to the overall of the class,
which would meet a team goal.
