Reynolds's tweet promoting his gin has been viewed nearly 5 million times as of Saturday morning, garnering more than 25,000 retweets and 165,000 likes.

It was widely praised on social media as a well-timed and creative marketing campaign.

The commercial features Ruiz filming herself in a video diary to her male partnerdetailing the year she spent using the Pelotonbikehegave her.

Critics of the ad have called it sexist, arguingthat the 30-second commercial gives the impression thatthe male partner wanted the womanto lose weight.

In defense of the ad,a spokesperson for Pelotonsaid in a statement, "Our holiday spot was created to celebrate that fitness and wellness journey."

"While were disappointed in how some have misinterpreted this commercial, we are encouraged by and grateful for the outpouring of support weve received from those who understand what we were trying to communicate," the spokesperson added.
