“What kind of music do you like to exercise to?” asks Karen Lawson, country manager for Peloton – possibly the hottest workout on the planet. I hesitate because, as I am about to step onto a $3695 bike in this hyper-cool context, surrounded by Peloton staff in slick activewear emblazoned with the company’s P logo, in a house in Sydney’s Darling Point with a lift inside, it does not seem right to tell Lawson that my favourite music to work out to is Phil Collins’ greatest hits.
No matter. Lawson rescues me. “Do you like Hamilton? Because we have heaps of Hamilton workouts.”
