The biggest 'social' part is that my friends and I end up doing the same rides, and even though it's at different times we end up competing and chasing each other. I had some goals I thought were going to take months, but I've already blown threw them b/c I could chase my friends ghost on his ride. If I do a ride first, I text it out to everyone basically throwing the down gauntlet.

There's also a talent component. I've done everything from spin, to weight classes, to powerlifting for many years when I was younger, and the Peloton trainers are very good. They are good motivators, and they have taught me quite a few warmup techniques I'm carrying to other areas as life gets back to normal. YMMV.
