Best WFH upgrades

Given we’re likely to remain in this WFH situation for the foreseeable future, curious as to the best upgrades people have made over the last year. Aeron chair? Espresso machine? A Peloton is on my list...

I got my peloton in December and it has been amazing so far! I’m in a Watsapp group with a load of guys in my industry too and someone choses one class a week to race on which is good fun. It brings a good social element to it which is always helpful during Covid too!

It’s also worth investing in some decent dumbbells so you don’t get skinny fat..

 

I have a 47 inch monitor - worth it.

Yes, did the same thing - used Aeron worth it, chairs are key. A good work set up in general is key - I have 2 monitors, decent keyboard/mouse, large desk. Other than work stuff an Xbox and a Peloton have been my best buys. Wish I had room for a full gym. I hadn't gamed since college but its fun to pop on every now and then.

You could buy a Concept 2 rower, a squat rack, barbell, plates, and a fucking flatscreen to put in front of your shit for what a peleton costs. Can't buy motivation though
