An effective way to boycott this terrible activity is to take to the second-hand market wherever possible. Thrift stores, FB marketplace (yuck), craigslist, and old-fashioned yard sales. Old exercise equipment is everywhere. Engage with makers and support networks to repair and maintain that stuff.

Keep the flow of money out of the hands of these corporations that just want to lease you things.
