Peloton Tread review: what you need to get out of your running rut
WiredRating: 8/10 | Price: £2,295 or £59 a month for 39 months with 0% APR WIRED Good design; great build quality; genuinely changes how you exercise TIRED Expensive; much can be done with just the app; no video services or streaming music allowed When Peloton launched its first bike in 2014, many scoffed not only at the price but also the oddity of joining fitness classes remotely, via video, like one of those awkward Skype calls with a friend or colleague. Tread classes have been up and running in the US for a while now, but next month the UK is getting the cheaper and slightly smaller Tread model, not the existing Tread+ already available in the US. Despite this being the cheaper model, Tread costs £2,295 for the treadmill itself - then you have the Peloton app subscription on top of that. If you’re going to put all 131kg of the Tread in an upstairs room, do make sure you have sturdy floors and thick plaster on the ceilings below that won’t crack easily.
