By now, you’ve probably seen the Peloton commercial where the appreciative wife makes a video of her year’s long journey using the stationary bike her husband gave her last Christmas. Social media has been having a field day with the advertisement titled “The Gift That Gives Back.” Some people are calling the commercial “sexist,” “humiliating” and “misogynistic.” One person tweeted, Nothing says “maybe you should lose a few pounds” like giving your rail-thin life partner a Peloton.” Another person tweeted, “Hands up if the Peloton Christmas ad made you sick in your mouth a little bit AND resolve never to be “that guy” in a relationship.” What are your feelings about the commercial?

The face you make when your day requires videoing your workout, keeping floor to ceiling windows spotless, and hoping your kid doesn’t spill anything on the white furniture #peloton pic.twitter.com/4xe2YvcMUF

My greatest fear as a creative is getting dragged like the people who made the #Peloton ad are getting dragged. https://t.co/DRLcfcJzic

That face you make when you have to videotape yourself exercising to prove to your husband that you're making every effort to (checks notes) look thin for him. #peloton pic.twitter.com/Hq6stoiETH
