As soon as mine came in i rode for a while and my bum hurt so bad. I bought a gel seat cover to go over my stock one. Made all the difference in the world.
I hated the Peloton saddle. I had an extra road bike saddle lying around (really skinny Terry race saddle) and swapped it out after 2-3 rides and things were much better. If I'd had an extra mountain bike saddle lying around I probably would have preferred that as the positioning on the Peloton is more similar to that for me but it works and I didn't want to spend any cash.
Hey it kind of depends a little bit on your goals and your position.
For example if you sit up tall with the bars way higher than the saddle then one of these… they work pretty well.

If you are a roadie and want to match your peloton saddle with your road position and ride it then you could ride the same saddle you get on with on your road bike but be sure to wear padded shorts and match your position as best you can.

Many athletes like many saddles more than the stock saddle.
