interesting facts from home fitness equipment
Peloton built itself on bikes and screens. Mirror chased the same idea with walls. Bowflex made machines that fold. Apple entered with rings and watches. Nautilus owns the old names. Each brand points a different direction. Peloton sells community and instruction. Bowflex sells space saved. Mirror sells illusion of a studio. Apple sells data. Nautilus sells what it sold thirty years ago.
A buyer wants to know what he pays for. With Peloton you pay for the bike and the subscription. With Bowflex you pay for iron that shrinks. With Mirror you pay for the screen and the same instructors everyone else gets. With Apple you pay for what your wrist tells you. Each brand knows what it does. The question is whether you want what it does.
