One of the goals in writing this blog is to help make you a real sophisticated consumer and smart shopper. This is regardless of what you’re in the market to buy–be it the best Peloton accessories or wide width shoes for women.
I’ve also taken into consider the why you were shopping. Maybe you’re buying something indulgent for yourself. Or maybe you’re looking for gift ideas for Peloton lovers, Father’s Day or Christmas. Or maybe you’re in the market for something as simple as a new dehumidifier.
With that in mind I thought it made sense to create a Shop page for all the products I mention in my various blog posts. That way if you wanted one place to scroll through your shopping options, it was there for you.
NORDSTROM.com is price matching during its clearance sale. Check it out!
Below you’ll find products and recommendations from each of the my blog posts. I hope you enjoy scrolling through. Maybe you’ll find something you like that you didn’t even know you wanted. Happy shopping and scrolling.
For your convenience, I’ve set up an Amazon storefront that links to products mentioned in many of my popular blog posts. So, if you prefer to do your shopping on Amazon, I hope you’ll check it out.
Finally, if you’re interested in buying any of my books in print, I recommend you shop on Bookshop.org. It’s an online marketplace of independent bookstores.

Best Peloton accessories
My blog post on the best, must-have Peloton accessories and essentials has been the number one blog post for more than a year. No wonder. People are loving their Pelotons and want to make sure they own everything they can to get the most out of their Peloton cycle, Peloton Tread or the Peloton digital app.
I recently published a new article on power zone training on the Peloton. It included its own list of must have essentials, which I’ve inclued below.
Below are the products I’ve recommended in those blog posts. I’ve collected them here to make your shopping easier.
Spin Towel and Other Peloton Accessories
Spin Towel is made by a company called Drip Accessories. You can get your Spin Towel in different trim colors. In addition, the company makes Peloton screen protectors for both the Peloton bike and the Peloton Tread. I've included both here.
Also, the first time you shop on the Drip Accessories site, sign up for their mailing list. You'll get a discount code to use.
For your cycle, the Spin Towel really is a great spin bike handlebar cover. Use it every time you ride the bike.
Finally, I've included a new-to-me product--a shelf for the back of your bike. I love mine.

Spin Bike Sweat Towel - Spintowel for use with PELOTON bikes grey with black
Spin Bike Sweat Towel - Spintowel for use with PELOTON bikes gray and black with rainbow emblem
Peloton Phone Mount
I found many companies on Etsy that are 3D printing a phone mount or holder for the Peloton. These work with all sizes of iPhone and Android phones.
Some do more than just hold a phone. They also have room for your earbuds.
Best Peloton Accessories: Shoe Hanger
Here are inexpensive yet effective shoe hangers you can buy on Etsy.
Desk for your Peloton
In addition, there are a few other versions of a spintray-like desk for sale on Amazon. Plus, the makers of a laptop tray exclusively for the Bike Plus just reached out to me, so I've added their product here, too.

Best Cycling Shoes for Peloton
Looking for the best cycling shoes for Peloton? Here are some highly rated options.
Also, since so many readers have written asking about Pearl Izumi shoes for Peloton, I've made sure to include that brand.
Pro tip: get the Pearl Izumi shoes that are SPD and SPD-SL compatible. That means they can take the Peloton Delta Look cleats but can also be swapped out for SPD cleats, too.

Peloton Weights Amazon
Whether you're taking bootcamp or other classes on the Peloton bike or the Peloton Tread, you're going to need weights for your Peloton workouts. While some bikes come with a three-pound weight, you're going to want more than that.
I've rounded up various options for Peloton weights up to 15 lb dumbbells. Plus, I've included resistance bands on Amazon, since some of the Peloton strength and bootcamp classes are now using them.
To make your shopping easy and convenient, this list is exclusively weights for Peloton that you can buy on Amazon.

Toe Cages for Peloton Bike on Amazon
There may be a number of reasons you could be looking for toe cages (or shoe cages) for your Peloton bike.
It could be that you don't want to use cycling shoes with Delta Look cleats--the kinds that are compatible with Peloton cleats. Perhaps you have SPD cleats on existing shoes and want pedals that can take those cleats and have cages, too.
Or you may have multiple people using the Peloton bike, not all of whom wearing cycling shoes with cleats.
Or you have guest riders from time to time who want to wear sneakers or tennis shoes when riding.
These are all valid reasons to invest in toe cages, which usually come attached to a pedal that you can screw right into the crank shaft on the Peloton bike. All of the options below are available, conveniently, on Amazon.
Venzo Fitness Exercise Spin Bike Compatible with Shimano SPD Pedals with Toe Clips & Straps
DRBIKE Bike Pedals with Toe Clips/Cages and Straps, 9/16" Aluminum Alloy Bicycle Pedals for Exercise Bike Spin Bike, 1 Pair
Best Mat for Peloton: Gaiam on Amazon
I mention in this review of the best mat for Peloton that I use a Gaiam yoga mat for my Peloton yoga practice. You can find all kinds of Gaiam yoga mats on Amazon.
Some of the Gaiam yoga mats on Amazon are thick. There are some that are longer--up to six feet or 72 inches long. Some come with a yoga towel or a strap. One is made especially for kids doing yoga. I've rounded up some mats for you to consider.
I've also included some Gaiam yoga blocks you can buy on Amazon for your practice. There are Gaiam yoga blocks made of foam and some made from cork.
Finally, I've include some cute Gaiam yoga socks that you can buy on Amazon. You can use these for barre classes, too, which Peloton has started offering.

Vornado Fans for Peloton
I found a great selection of Vornado fans on Amazon.

Vornado 7803 Large Pedestal Whole Room Air Circulator Fan with Adjustable Height, 3 Speed Settings, Removable Grill for Cleaning, Black
Peloton Tread Screen Cover
A number of companies are making screen covers for the Peloton Tread.
Peloton Power Zone Training Must Haves
You'll find most of these accessories and must haves in my Peloton room. Many have helped make Power Zone training and every other ride much more comfortable.
You definitely want to invest in padded shorts for Power Zone training. These are the ones I wear on my Peloton.
My husband loves his Baleaf shorts. Also, when you shop on Baleaf.com and use the code LEAH at checkout, you’ll receive a 10% discount.
If you choose not to wear padded shorts, at least invest in this best gel padded seat cover for Peloton. We have one and love it.
Also, use the code LEAH10 to save 10% on a Komfy gel bike seat cover.
Using chamois cream or this ride glide product can help you avoid saddle sores from all of your Peloton power zone training.
Even though Power Zone training is not heart rate zone training, I find that wearing this Scosche heart rate monitor gives me more accurate numbers.
You'll need a fan to keep you cool. Peloton riders all swear by the Vornado pedestal fan.
It's normal for your toes to go to sleep after riding a long time. So, make sure you wear thin socks as your feet swell. My Power Zone challenge teammates told me about these awesome Swiftwick Socks!
You'll want a towel to go over your handlebars to catch your sweat. This is one of the ones I use. (I have mutliple towels.)
Peloton Gifts to Give
From milestones to marriage anniversaries to Mother’s Day, there are plenty of opportunities to buy a gift for a Peloton user throughout the year. I believe I’ve rounded up some of the best Peloton gift ideas, including those featuring some of your favorite instructor quotes.
If you're looking for a Peloton Christmas ornament for your favorite Peloton rider, I've found a few options on Etsy to satisfy your shopping needs. I think these Etsy Peloton ornaments are awesome. I hope you do, too. Give the gift that reflects the recipient's unique Peloton leaderboard name, complete with hashtag. Or buy one for yourself. Here are a few on my must-have Peloton gifts' list.Peloton Gifts: Christmas Ornaments

Peloton Digital App Review
In this blog post that reviews the Peloton digital app, I offer home spin bike suggestions that are an affordable alternative to the Peloton cycle.
Peloton Alternative Indoor Spin Bikes on Amazon
Here are some indoor home spin bikes that are an affordable alternative to the Peloton cycle. These are great options if you're hoping to use the Peloton digital app for your workouts but don't have the cash or budget to buy a Peloton bike.
Peloton Instructor Quotes
From Robin Arzon crown quotes to Jenn Sherman’s potty mouth saying “Just F(*&ng Do It,” there are tons of favorite Peloton instructor quotes. That’s why I wrote the blog post that rounds up awesome products featuring your favorite Peloton instructors and their quotes.
Here are some of the products I recommended from each of the instructors mentioned in my article.
Leanne Hainsby was one of the first Peloton instructors to start broadcasting indoor cycling classes from the company's London studio. A former dancer (like so many Peloton trainers on this side of the pond), I got to know her during the recent Pelothon. Two of her likely best-known sayings are referring to being inside your "sparkly bubble" (think disco ball) and "done and dusted," when you've finished your workout. I found a few items on Etsy featuring these Leanne quotes. Jess Sims is one of the many Peloton Tread instructors. In addition to running and walking classes, Jess also teaches strength classes. I came to fall in love with her teaching methods when Peloton was offering "Live from Home" classes. I especially love her saying "You Don't Have To. You Get To" about the joy and blessing of being able to move your body. Also, "Last Set. Best Set" as you're grinding through a workout. Two other good ones: "No Ego, Amigo" and "How you do anything is how you do everything." She's also well known for saying that you want to get that "glazed donut look" as you build up a sweat. Here are some Jess Sims' inspired products I found on Etsy and elsewhere that feature her quotes or just remind me of her. If you're a member of the You Get To Crew, you'll love them, too. You Get To workout towel from Work It Towels. Use code LEAH10 at checkout to save 10%. Peloton trainer and instructor Robin Arzon, aka Robin NYC, scared me at first. But even though her catchphrases like "Add it Back" and "Yes You Can" sound tough, they are also motivational and inspirational. She also likes to refer to riders (and herself) as royalty or a queen or as wearing a crown or simply as hustlers. So, I've found a number of fun items on Etsy--leggings, apparel, posters and more. From hustle quotes to queen quotes, these feature everything you love about Robin Arzon. "Add It Back" workout towel from Work-It Towels. Use code LEAH10 at checkout to save 10%. Use code LEAH at checkout to save 10% on this Chin Up, Crown On towel. I'll admit it: Christine D'Ercole is one of my favorite Peloton instructors. I appreciate her very real approach to fitness, body image and more. Her mantras, sayings and quotes always resonate with me. From "I am I can I will I do" to "What if you can?" And, dare I say, she's made me cry on the bike. So has Jenn Sherman, another favorite. Change Your Chatter workout towel from Work It Towels. Use code LEAH10 at checkout to save 10%. Drop Your Baggage workout towel from Work It Towels. Use code LEAH10 at checkout to save 10%. Hands On Your Back workout towel from Work It Towels. Use code LEAH10 to save 10% at checkout. Last year, Ally Love debuted her inspirational and motivational rides called "Sundays with Love." It was a way for riders to feel "present" on their bikes. In addition, she's all about empowering people, which is why she calls everyone Boss or tells them to "Boss Up." Here are some of my favorite Ally Love-inspired products from Etsy. Like A Boss workout towel from Work It Towels. Use code LEAH10 at checkout to save 10%. Yes or Yes workout towel from Work It Towels. Use code LEAH10 at checkout to save 10%. Peloton instructor Denis Morton might be, in my opinion, the kind of funny quotes and sayings. He is an admitted dad joke teller and that's one of the reasons I love taking his cycling and yoga classes. However, Denis is also inspiring, such as when he tell us "I make suggestions, you make decisions." Here are some Etsy items featuring the best of Denis--who by the way spells his name is one "N"--not Dennis. And, as Denis likes to say, "If you can't be good, be careful." Cody Rigsby has been known to have many funny sayings. Things like "Fix your wig" to "It's not that deep, boo" to "Get your life together." Some of his quotes are even explicit but still funny and, dare I say, inspirational: "Be like Elsa. Let that shit go." I found a number of items on Etsy that the "boo crew" is sure to love. This includes posters, leggings, t shirt apparel, coffee mugs and more. These Boo Crew leggings feature tons of well-known Cody Quotes. Plus you can add your CUSTOM LEADERBOARD name. They are capri length leggings in a RAINBOW print | Etsy Fix Your Wig, Boo workout towel from Work It Towels. Use code LEAH10 at checkout to save 10%. Fix Your Wig. Get Your Life Together Ladies’ Muscle Tank - Cody Rigsby - Peloton Inspired I have to thank Jenn Sherman and her epic sing-a-long rides for showing me that I could ride for 60 minutes on my Peloton. I also have to thank her for being real (swearing and all) with her motivational quotes and sayings. Perhaps her best known catchphrase is JFDI--Just Fucking Do It. Here are a few favorites I found on Etsy. Here is a collection of items I found on Etsy featuring the best Alex Toussaint quotes. They include a t shirt with "Feel Good. Look Good. Do Better" on it as well as items with his probably best-known saying "This Ain't Daycare." This Ain't Daycare work out towel from Work It Towels. Use code LEAH10 at checkout to save 10%. I'm Sorry. I Can't. I have plans with Alex Toussaint - Bella Flowy Racerback Tank Power Zone creator and instructor Matt Wilpers has a few catchphrase quotes and sayings. One of them revolves around the importance of training smart. Also, after a hard ride with him, people often say they've "wilpered." Here are some cool Matt-themed items from Etsy.Peloton Instructor Quotes: Leanne Hainsby

Where to Buy a Dehumidifier
Nearly every major home improvement store or big box store sells dehumidifiers. Even Amazon does.
Here are links to some of the highest and best rated dehumidifiers available from major stores. Many of this brick-and-mortar stores will let you shop online and pickup in store.
Menstrual Lingerie
Menstrual lingerie, as it were, goes by many different terms. Some call it period underwear or period panties. Others call it menstrual undies or period underpants. And they’re more common than you think, which is why I wrote this blog post on menstrual lingerie products. Here are some of the products I recommend.
What is Menstrual Lingerie
I've rounded up some examples of menstrual lingerie and period panties, including some period swimwear. These are from some of the most popular brands.
Best Wide Width Shoes for Women
In my blog post about the best wide width shoes for women, I highlight some of the brands that I wear on my own two feet. I’ve also created exclusive shopping lists for women looking for extra wide or double wide shoes for all occasions.
When it comes to extra wide width womens boots, you'll often find that with taller, riding boots, you also have the option of getting an extra wide calf in your boot. As someone with a double wide foot but not a double wide calf, this is often a challenge for me. Maybe you're different. Either way, in this list of extra wide width womens boots, I've included brands with and without extra wide calves. I've also included extra wide width booties that I may not have shared earlier. Women with double wide feet looking for tennis shoes or sneakers to work out in face similar challenges as they do when looking for other every day shoes. And that is that extra wide womens shoes are hard to find. While I often choose men's sneakers or tennis shoes for my exercise needs, there are brands that do make bona fide double wide or extra wide women's sneakers. Here are a few I've found. Note: based on the manufacturer, the extra wide or double wide width may be listed differently. It would be XW, EXW, WW or EE. This Skechers style comes as small as 5 XW. Here are some option for extra wide women's dress shoes, from a variety of retailers, including pumps, dress sandals and wedges. I have confirmed that, as of this publishing, all of these shoes were available in a double wide width. Here is a collection of some of the best wide width booties from a variety of brands, including those you can buy at Nordstrom and on Zappos. In many instances some of these booties come in an extra wide width, too. Here are a few examples of shoes from those wide width brands available at Nordstrom. Here are some of my favorite brands that have the best wide width shoes for women. This includes wide boots and booties, sandals, flats and more. Some come in extra wide or double wide as well.Extra Wide Width Womens Boots and Booties
