Perhaps you can relate to John Foley, the founder of Peloton (NASDAQ: PTON), when it comes to getting up early in the morning to make it to your fitness class. Sometimes, it's just not gonna happen.
In 2012, Foley saw the trend of team-fitness boutiques such as yoga classes, cycling classes, and other related group fitness classes. Team fitness was a growing trend as people prefer working out with others over going to the gym by yourself or running outside alone. But these fitness boutiques had limited capacity which meant that, if you wanted to get in the class, you had to sign up early or arrive before spots run out. What if this idea could be scaled to reach 5 million, 10 million, or 50 million people worldwide, with no limits on the size of the class? This sparked the idea to bring the intensity and motivation of cycling into everyone's home. Problem solved!
