Awesome and inspiring story.

I personally can't see paying a subscription for an exercise machine though. Why can't I just buy something and own it without needing to provide recurring monthly revenue to the company who sold me the thing? Rowing is boring, but I solved that for myself with a pair of headphones and a podcast. I have a hard time imagining rowing based games being as interesting (though I did like the concept of your pros versus Joe's).

All said, obviously people do pay subscriptions for stuff like this so best of luck to you and congratulations on your success!

Thank you! Reoccurring revenue is just the name of the game now :)

I subscribe to peloton but can’t see myself subscribing to this.

I subscribe to peloton because I get new content every single day, live rides and even things like T-shirt’s shipped to me when I hit milestones. This feels like a membership but without any particular level of membership benefits.

I’m sure you will find a market though and hope you are hugely successful!

I can understand that. When Peloton first came out they were releasing content as often as we are now. Over time I'm sure we will get better. Thank you!
