I guess I’m stuck in the 1950s. Because I saw this ad a few times on TV, and I didn’t see anything wrong with it.

There is nothing wrong with the ad. It will only offend the compulsion driven neurotics, who war on human happiness by denying the realities of nature. They are the joke. Normal people embrace sex roles. (none of us would be here but for those roles.)

they are saying that she didn’t need improving... she was hot already...

I agree. I don't have a clue what was objectionable. Woman asks for expensive exercise bike for Christmas - husband gets her the bike - she is so happy about it she documents a year long exercise journey on said bike. Where's the creepiness?

It didn’t bother me but I would like jewelry instead of a stationary bike....it’s like receiving a pressure cooker for a gift.....

me either

[[Viewers trashed the ad on Twitter, calling it sexist, misogynistic, humiliating and cringeworthy. ]]

Guess these leftie cretins don’t like women become physically fit, and possibly extending their life? and they call pelaton misogynists?

Those offended by the add, wouldn’t use the product anyway.

I’m with you. I didn’t find it creepy, or weird, or even unusual about the Peloton ad. I see it as a loving husband doing something nice for his wife, and contrary to MOST exercise equipment gifts we’ve all been given (my stationary bike is a clothes rack) this woman is actually using hers and is happy as hell her husband gave it to her. The gist is that Peloton is more than a piece of equipment, it’s a lifestyle.

I would never invest in one, because they are so danged expensive, but I do ride bikes so I can relate to the idea of getting fit without looking out of shape before I started riding. I see nothing sexist with having the woman appear in shape on day 1. I hope peloton sticks to their guns on this ad.

I think there are going to be a lot of parodies based on this ad, though. :)

Saw it too and no issue

I watched the ad after it was posted here yesterday. The woman was slender to begin with, so the ad sure wasn’t in the category of husband telling fatty wife “Here, honey, I got you this bike to slim down.”

Maybe it was offensive because it looked like the man was a couch potato telling his wife to get in shape?

The perpetually offended are everywhere...and now they wipe a billion of market cap out in a day. Wow.

Me either, but outrage culture is the new norm. You are probably older like me.
