- Full Peloton Tread Review: techfordaddy.com/peloton-trea...
I've been using the Peloton Tread for over a year now and I wanted to do a follow up to my 6-month Peloton Treadmill Review. Peloton has done a fantastic job keeping classes and content coming daily even during a pandemic.
My review of the Peloton Tread features a lot of what I love about the treadmill and a few things that still bother me. Overall, I am still very please with this purchase.
If you are thinking about getting a Peloton Tread, I would highly recommend it. It is a lot of money but if you finance it, it's roughly the same price as a gym membership. Plus, you get to workout at home, never have to wait to use the equipment, and don't have o worry about germs.

#Peloton #treamills #running - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
Loved hearing this review! I just ordered my tread and it will arrive next Monday. Although I wish I could have ordered the model that you have, I think I’ll be really happy with the tread. Peloton’s instructor content is incredible.
This was very helpful and addressed a lot of questions I had about the Tread. Great work my friend!
Glad it helped!!
*This is the second Treadmill friend I've owned **bestgym.equipment** t was easy to assemble and easier to fold than my last one. The controls are a lot better as well. I give it 5 stars!*
Can’t wait to order one. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for posting! I will be ordering today.
Hope you like it
I just ordered mine! So excited and great review
Thanks! Hope you like it
How much is it
Just ordered mine yesterday ! itll be here in two weeks!
Hope you enjoy it!
I’ve had my tread plus for a bit over a year and I love the boot camps but I also like mixing 20 or 30 minute run with a strength class and end with a core class! Yeah! Peloton !!
Glad you're liking it!
great review! Thanks!!!!
Thanks!!
Thanks for review!!!
Thanks for watching!
So helpful thank you !
Thank you for the review... What happens without the subscription, Is that only for live classes of do you loose features?
I would invest in one finance but no way I would pay for a subscription so is it still worthwhile
You just run to a black screen with you stats displayed
@@dad.0 so you can see all your normal running stats then? As is speed, distance, pace etc without a subscription
@@thewingitrunner I believe so, yes
This is a weird question, but on the ledge below the screen, can you fit a 13 inch laptop there? I’d like to put my work laptop there and work while walking. And if I do put a laptop there, will the shaking while walking make the laptop fall?
I have done it. It will fit but I have to prop on the front bar as well as the trayl. Walking is fine but running might make it shake
I wish there was a video of how the treadmill sounds without background noise. Mine is making an odd sound. Just curious on how a normal tread plus should sound like.
I'd love to get this instead of a gym membership
Especially during a pandemic
Considering Peloton + with the re-release next year. Would you buy it again at 6k?
Excellent review! We have one too and absolutely love it. Did you end up sending your tread back due to the recall?
We did but only because we were moving and we didn't want to haul it lol
@@dad.0 hahaha. That's awesome! Great deal for you! Thanks for replying! Too funny!
Excellent review. Does it brick on you if you stop the monthly subscription payment? Is the subscription transferrable, i.e. selling the unit to someone. Thanks.
It can still be used but there will be no content. The subscription is month to month so selling the tread would just mean the new owner would get their own subscription
Thanks for the review - really helpful. How much height does the Tread add in the fully 'up' position? Trying to figure my maximum needed height in the basement...
Depends on if you run on the front, middle, or back of the treadmill. Obviously, the further back you, the lower you’ll be from the ceiling. At 15 degree incline, you’re adding roughly 5-10 inches I’d say
Would you recommend this for a “non-runner” who just wants to maybe power walk and get in better shape? Not competitive at all😃
I would! They do have a lot of content for walkers and other workouts not centered around running
They’ll coming out with a smaller version in March that is $2500. If you’re only using it for walking. I suggest you wait for this one.
How do u buy this Trade+? After that stupid recall there is no where to find this, not even used one from other customers
Would you be able to do the app with another treadmill? Or does that tread do something special like increase the incline for you?
You would but it wouldn't be able to track your stats
What questions do you have about the Peloton Tread?
Is the membership obligatory? Or can you opt to not pay??
@@steph8064 You have to use it unfortunately
I just got back from the Peloton store. The salesperson told me I could opt out of the subscription. The screen would just show my metrics.
@@grannystrazz5486 news to me. The person that delivered ours said it couldn’t be used without a subscription and required a CC and a subscription to login. Perhaps you can opt out after you sign up
@@dad.0 I better look into it more as the salesperson failed to tell me about the subscription the first time I was there.
At rest, how high is it and also when fully extended? Can I drop it down slightly by adjusting and lowering the feet?
feet aren't adjustable unfortunately
Question if i dont wanna run to classes, can i watch tv on the peloton or Netflix? Also how much of the time when using the scenic runs does the app tend to crash, i would hate to run 5 miles and than it crashes and wipes out my progress. Final question, does the peloton record your stats and give you advice on what you should do better on your run? Last question, really this time, precor or the peloton?
I don’t have one yet but I’m fairly confident it has at least netflix
Apparently the answer is no, you can modify it but you’d lose warranty and support so I wouldn’t recommend it
Nope, nothing but the Peloton software right now. The scenic run crashing issue has been fixed (thank god). It does record your stats/trends but no coaching or advice. I haven't personally tried precor but I am loving the Peloton (even if I think its a bit overpriced).
Does anyone have any intel regarding a new version of this unit once the new, cheaper tread comes out in March?
Nothing yet
Here you go
th-cam.com/video/Pjr4C0UY_3Y/w-d-xo.html
Used the Peloton bike and hated it…curious about this but not sure at the price.
can the monitor move or is it fixed in that position?
It can move up and done. Not side to side
Do they do a strength workout ? Do we still need to go to the gym
Yes, they had strength that can be done with a set of dumbbells or just bodyweight
How tall are your ceilings where you have the tread?
7 1/2 ft
You mentioned the app will sometimes crash when using your Bluetooth earphones. Will the app crash if you are taking a class as opposed to a scenic route? Thanks!! Love this video. I’ve been debating on purchasing one since COVID.
No it doesn’t. Just scenic routes. It’s the weirdest thing. Thank you!!
@@dad.0 also how about if you are taking the scenic route but are not using the earphones but are actually using the pelaton speakers that are built into the treadmill does it still freeze and crash??
@@strictlystreet1517 nope, just with headphones connected
Hi. You said this machine can be used without the subscription; but there is no content. So does that mean screen is blank? If I want to use without subscription what does the screen give as options?
You can see things like time, distance, speed, and incline but that’s it
@@dad.0 oh I see. So there is a “manual” mode; cool. I might buy it and sign up with subscription but in case i ever decide to cancel good to know I can use it on its own and create my own resistance and own runs
@@chalos23 yup, it’s called “just run” mode.
@@dad.0 thank you señor! Great video. Maybe you can do a “just run” mode vid with other workout apps like the new Apple Fitness + or other run apps 😃👍🏻
Super,,, if l was to pass on all the online training etc , ls it possible to go back & train normally, with my own plan ?! Or would this completely defeat the purpose of spending this much money on a treadmill in the beginning?!🤔
You can use it without the subscription. But, you could spend a lot less and get a quality treadmill to do that
@@dad.0 tks a mill , super 👌any suggestions on a model to do this so 🤔?!??
How’s the tread now?
I have had the Peloton tread for almost 2 years. Starting 7 months ago the tread began to abruptly stop while I was running or walking and the screen would read "tread has stopped communicating". Sometimes the screen would then shut down or continue to not communicating with the tread. The tread does not just slow down when this happens. I could be going 9mph and it stops me in my tracks. It is extremely dangerous. Peloton has been awful! I have been trying to get them out to the house for the past 5 months. They were set to arrive for repair December 4th but did not show. Now, they have rescheduled for January 11th. FYI if you have trouble with your treadmill do not expect to get it repaired quickly!
Sorry to hear that. Sounds dangerous!
Has it been repaired yet?
I am considering buying the Tread+ but am worried about this same issue. Also, what you describe is a very common treadmill issue, when there is any sort of friction or extensive use on treadmills the motor can overheat, when this happens the treadmill is designed to shut down to prevent damage. It is usually indicative of a mechanical problem or part failure and most of the time the belt needs replacing or repair. I hope you can get yours fixed soon!
@@janellenelson5162 No, they are scheduled to come this Saturday but they have rescheduled the last several appointments so fingers crossed.
@@TheScottAF Thank you for the information. We are scheduled for repair this Saturday. Once I have an update on the issue I will report back.
Your setup is obviously way below the Peloton recommended space of 2' front/side and 6' rear of the tread. Do you have any concerns with the small space the Tread is located in? Also, did the delivery installers hesitate due to the small space? My ideal space is only slightly bigger than where you have your Tread located. I don't care about doing activity right next to the treadmill. I have another space for yoga and strength exercises. Thanks.
WAY smaller lol. Nope, I just pointed where to put it and they went to work... no questions asked. In fact, one of the guys was probably 6'8'' and was nearly banging his head on our ceiling installing it
Wait... so if I buy this, I can only use their app and have to pay monthly too? Like can I watch TH-cam or Netflix on it? Because I really dont think I have enough time to make the app worth it. Like I’ll work out on it but not enough to make it 35€. Also because I just love to run while watching something relaxing? 😭
That’s what I get out of it. I like to watch tv like sports or just a movie. No I can’t hear it but I watch it. I also am shocked at the no decline option. Looks like a nice machine though. It certainly is pretty
Right, no option download other apps right now. Strictly the Peloton content with no inputs (other than an ethernet) on the monitor
I’ve heard that there is a work around to get to Netflix, TH-cam, etc. if you search for the work around on TH-cam you can find several videos.
Hello, is it functional without the monthly membership?
I don't believe so. They make you sign up before you can even enter the user interface
@@dad.0 I was wondering that as well? Say would the scenic routes work without a subscription. I think I’d mostly wanna use the scenic routes rather than classes
@@strictlystreet1517 unfortunately no, the scenic routes are apart of the subscription
Can I hack the screen and format it into a PC? I think I'd go with woodway if I'm going to pay that much money. I ain't paying a monthly subscription. that's stupid.
I am not sure, you can get to a web browser with a few tricks but I am not sure about turning it into a PC
how much is the monthly payment for this?
$35 USD
how much is this compared to the new tread?
Roughly $1800 more
may I ask if you returned it now Peloton called it back?
We are considering it but they did add more safety features like a passcode
would you recommend this peloton tread or the peloton tread plus?
I haven’t used the new one yet
I think the version he has is considered the tread +...the “new” version is a more affordable tread.
@@Jennifer-vz5fr correct
I agree, why not reduce the monthly fee and let us watch sports or TH-cam on the tv
Yup!
How loud is the "hum"?
I don’t know decibels but it’s loud
I like this video. It really helped me decide not to buy it. I like to throw my money at things but this thing isn’t quite right. Looking forward to when Apple makes a treadmill and a vr headset and then has vr nature programs that pair with the treadmill 😍
That would be intense! I’d run right off the treadmill
😂😂😂😂😂
If you bought a peloton do you have to pay for the classes ?
You don't have to
There is a $40 membership even if u bought their tread
I heard they introduced some beta version browser which should allow to play netflix on the screen. Is that true ?
Not that I’ve seen. There is a “hack” to access a browser but I haven’t tried yet.
Did you ever find out? Would love this feature!
DC Rainmaker make this post a while ago, I have the Peloton Bike and I was able to view the browser using his help.

@@dad.0 Accessing the web browser you can watch TH-cam videos while on the treadmill.
Isn’t that the treat + ? Is the video title wrong?
it is now... back when I did this it was just the Tread
Is there ANY way at all to connect my iPhone via Bluetooth? Or (I feel like I know the answer to this), a way to stream content through a browser?
No to the iPhone. I believe there are "hacks" to pull up a browser and stream now but I haven't tried due to the potential void warranty
Can instructor or other users see you while you work out 🤔
They can't
@@dad.0 would you have to pay double subscription, if you'd have to buy the bike & tread both 🤔
@@malikbezhanakbari935 nope, just one sub. least they could do for spending a couple grand on their products
it looks like you have tread plus.
right, they changed the name now that the smaller tread came out
I can only wish. It's not available in canada😒
Sorry man, hopefully soon
The Tread is available to try in Canadian Peloton stores now and available to order on February 9th. I just tried it today and it’s fantastic!
Andrew Donald yea but it’s not the tread plus it’s a smaller version
With the recall ???? I doubt any more content.
Actually, there is more content everyday still
Can’t anyone do anything anymore without a screen in their face?
Beyoncé x Peloton anyone else catch that on the screen? ☺️
Yep, they have a collab with Beyoncé
You pay for screen size and marketing. You are better off with a buying a tread with a smaller built in-screen and buying a projector. Its more enjoyable to run with your head up looking at an 80 plus inch projection than squinting at a screen.
You are right. However, this screen is pretty large so you definitely don't have to squint
What a waste of money, if you really want to stay fit and healthy, there are tons of other options out there than a stationary bike and a treadmill for 1/10th of the cost. Not to mention ergonomically the last thing you want to do while running is stare at a 25" screen...
This waste of money has helped me lose 20 lbs and improve my overall health. It’s worth every penny in that sense
@@dad.0 sure, but what I'm saying is you don't have to spend $2000 and $35/month to do that. Any stationary bike, any treadmill, any other equipment could've yielded the same results.
@@alvinmc5593 that’s true. But, at least for me, because I spent so much money on it I feel more obligated to use it everyday than my old $200 treadmill that just collected dust. I agree though, it is overpriced and if you’re a more motivated person you can save some money and go for a cheaper solution. Cheers!
@@alvinmc5593 True. Each of us have different levels of finances and willingness to spend money on different items. I don't think this video is stating you must use a Peloton for your fitness.
Peloton is quality and beauty. I own the bike and I love it is the BEST "waste" of money in my humble opinion. I getting my tread plus in 3 weeks. 🤗blessing to All!
I guess if you don’t lile children buy this
I get it. But, there are some really easy fixes to make this save.
1. Take the safety key out and out of reach
2. Unplug it
3. Add the new passcode feature
4. Don’t allow your kids access to the room unsupervised
Don't buy this junk!! I bought it it wasn't working they said they would replace it with a new one, they came back with just rails while is now a second day off work..they ate now trying to just replace the monitor which is another day off work so it's now a 10k treadmill..on yop of them not bringing enough help to get it upstairs which I did pre deliver instructions. Don't waste your money on this junk!!
NOTE: This product works exactly as described. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxguEIMc_Qwab-3QMTpF6jaRL80hiOOsIN It originally earned a four-star review due to a minor defect (see below). However, the manufacturer's customer service rep (Lita) went above and beyond the call of duty and deserves five stars now. I wish I could give even more!I purchased this item which arrived quickly. Assembly instructions were easy to follow. There was only one problem: One bolt did not screw into the hole properly. I called the company. Their customer service rep (Lita) was terrific! She took all my information and submitted a request to replace the defective part. I'm hoping to finish assembly and start using this treadmill soon. (Fingers crossed...)FOLLOW UP: Lita called back to inform me that the company will send a replacement part AND a technician(canyoutalk) to install it properly. AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Thank you!!
