VIDEO: Did this exercise commercial go too far?

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. But does it go too far?

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. But does it go too far?

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?
