re: Peloton Tread

I'm a beginner in running and have it and love it. Have owned it since 12/23. It's the first treadmill I've ever had so I can't compare it to a belt one. I don't enjoy the bootcamp classes as much, but I'm doing them to become better at running. They have different classes like marathon prep, hiit runs, hill runs, interval runs, and just plain fun runs. Their instructors definitely know how to teach and train you for a marathon as many of them have completed marathons in their spare time, i.e. female instructor, Becs Gentry completed the NYC marathon in 2:37 and placed 1st non elites (LINK /), plus, there are classes designed specifically for training for a marathon. For runners who don't prefer classes, there are scenic runs or just run which is a blank screen showing pace and distance. The knob allowing for speed and incline adjustment is what really attracted me to it. Some treadmills I looked at had too many buttons and the transition from one speed to the next (increasing and decreasing) took too long to occur. Peloton makes theirs a fast smooth transition which helps when you're sprinting, then wanting to get into a slow jog or walk quickly once your interval is complete. The best advice I can give you is to go to the peloton store and try it out. I was skeptical at first because of the price but after doing a 20 minute class in the store, I knew I wanted one, and took a few days to think it over, then purchased one. They make it really easy to finance for 2 or even three years at 0%. I'm almost done with paying mine off though. Curious to see what their rower will look like next year.

In my opinion, these are better videos showcasing the tread than what their commercials do
