- Updated 1-year review here: • Peloton Tread One-Year...
Full Review Here: techfordaddy.c...
When I first started looking for user reviews on the Peloton Tread I had a heck of a time finding ones that related to me.
Most reviews were from fitness experts that look like they workout 4 times per day or people so in shape they could run a marathon in about 2 hours.
That’s not me.
I was pretty athletic at one point - but that was about 15 years and 30 pounds ago. Now I needed something to help me on my path towards a more healthy lifestyle.
I ended up getting the Peloton Tread about 6 months ago. I wanted to share why I got it and my review of it from an average fitness level standpoint.

UPDATED: My One-Year Peloton Tread Review: th-cam.com/video/pQz6xwO-ApU/w-d-xo.html
Full review here bit.ly/3aOQd8d.
Curious how many of you are considering buying the Peloton Tread and why?
i love treadmill running (i know its strange) - device is beautiful and (from what I hear) quality. just not sure I'll use classes - proby will buy. the limit of not allowing you to use the monitor for TV or stream is huge for me though. i could see myself walking watching football or something. that cold be a deal breaker.
Agreed. There are days I wish I could watch a show or a sports game while working out. As of now, I have to use a separate device to do that.
I’m considering. Has the humming noise always been there? Or has it gotten louder throughout the months.
My BFF has one and I need to upgrade from my little cheap one so my entire family can use it.
I'm a walker and my hubby & boys are runners. It's a great investment to me since I dropped my gym membership during pandemic
We live in Carson City, NV and the air quality has been unhealthy ALL SUMMER due to California's lack of responsible forestry and the subsequent fires. Going outside for a run is equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes.
Wow, thanks for telling about the measurements!
No problem!
Great review...peloton was out of my price range but I did get a great bowflex treadmill and got the digital only subscription so I get access to all the classes and content for 12.99 a month....just another option if peloton is out of ur range....I also do agree with the motivation you get from the instructors...what I like is if I take a class and didn’t care for the instructor there are others so I’m not stuck with one!!
Exactly! If you don't like it you can change classes in 5 seconds. Glad you are liking the Bowflex!
@@dad.0 thank you!!! Loving it and the peloton subscription.
Thank you for sharing your review for this. Should I have space next time, as you mention, consider the measurements.
Thanks for watching!
Checked one out at the Scottsdale, AZ store. One thing I wish could be done is move the monitor up or down. I am 6'1" and I was looking just above the screen when looking straight. So would be nice to see the screen head on. Was not that bad and not a deal breaker. But just wish it was adjustable. Otherwise felt like a great thread mill and great quality. I did not think it was too big or long. Salesperson mentioned its same length as Peloton bike.
Amed M I would agree with this for sure. I also wished you could move it side to side for floor workouts
Excellent review. I’m am between the Peloton or the Sole TT8. Learning towards the Sole right now, just because I’m not too keen on signing up for (yet another) monthly sub. It seems that every business want to be on my payroll these days. Gets old.
I don't blame you at all... I am not thrilled to be financing the thread and then paying for a sub on top of it but I do really like it when I don't think about how much I am paying lol
Thanks! I love this tread :)
You're welcome 😊
Great Review. I currently have a NordicTrack treadmill but I am definitely considering getting a Peloton as my next treadmill. We will see. One thing I wanted to say is I believe you can watch Netflix on the Peloton Tread. I searched TH-cam and found multiple videos on installing Netflix on the Peloton Tread. If you search exactly for this:
How to install Netflix on your NordicTrack or Peloton treadmill/bike in 2020
...then you will see the video I produced and I know for a fact it will install Netflix on the Peloton Tread, as well as on the NordicTrack Treadmills.
Again thank you for a great review.
Interesting, thanks for sharing! I assume it is a bootleg installation as my Peloton is software is still locked down
Actually, if you go to the About screen and tap around seven (7) times in the corner and then go into your WebView Browser, from there you would just follow the instructions in my video to install Netflix.
Thanks, I will check it out!
@@NelsonMunoz0714 do you have a link to that video, nelson? im on the fence about the tread, if I can 100% install Netflix it would be a go for me!
I am torn between the Peleton or Nordictrack. The motor sound and running surface on the Peleton concerns me. Do you think they are really a big downfall of the Peleton.
Not for me, personally. I got used to it very quick.
Would love this but the price plus membership
I agree, the subscription should be free if you buy the Tread or Bike
@@dad.0 you pay like £1000+ for the bike or treadmill as it is.
@@redladybug9180 even more for the Tread
Great video! Do you need any special electrical amperage for this? Also, do you think you can do a video of what it looks like when you do a run/walk using the manual mode. Will it save those workouts as well? Thank you.
Nope, I have mine plugged into a multiple outlet strip. It does save "free mode" workouts. I will work on a video for you
Tech for Daddy Thank you!
I saw a review of the Nordic Track and the touchscreen looked awfully slow and was not very sensitive to touch. This on the other hand, looks very responsive!
Yes, very snappy UI
I believe the ethernet is only on if you use a USBC to Ethernet adapter, but i admit i haven't connected to it.
I have, it works well
Great info! Is it still working well 12 months later?
Still great but I am going to do an update video soon!
Thanks. Very helpful! My wife wants one. I’m conflicted. At the price, that’s like 4-5 years of membership at evens boutique fitness place like otf or cf. hard to justify
It’s a lot of money no doubt. But, it also brings the gym to your home which saves valuable time in commuting and no need to share or wait for equipment
@@dad.0 true. Especially in Covid times
@@cheefussmith9380 exactly right
I need to get this!
I love it
This is incredibly insightful! I’ve only tried the bikes at a hotel, so now I’m torn! It’ll take a lot of convincing to get my fiancé on board haha
Haha! They have pretty good financing options that might make the conversation a little easier
Thanks for the review! Could you please share roughly the cost of the machine? And do they charge a monthly fee to access the clasees and videos? Thanks!
I pay $111/month for 39 months. The subscription to the classes/content is another $39/month. Thanks for watching!
$4295.00 US
That thing is a BEAST
It really is
How loud is it compared to a gym treadmill?
Very tough to tell. In a gym environment, you typically have other noises (treadmills, bikes, etc)and a bigger space to disperse sound. I’d say this tread is “slightly” louder but in your home it sounds much louder (if that makes sense).
Thank you for sharing the noise level segment. Does it emit vibration on to the floors - If yes, are they felt in the room and or the neighboring room? I am trying to decide if I should be buying the expensive mat to keep under the Treadmill. Thank you in advance 🙏🏻
Mine is in the basement so it is tough to tell. However, I’m pretty confident you’d be able to hear the treadmill in the Room underneath it. I can hear it in the room above ours. It’s not bad but anything over 6 mph creates a “hum” that can be heard in shared wall rooms. Hopes this helps
Also, the “hum” isn’t from vibrations but more from the motor and tread revolutions. The tread itself is very solid and doesn’t vibrate on the floor.
@@dad.0 thank you so much - this is super helpful. So glad to know that the tread won’t be rocking the building. I am guessing from your response - that the hum sound is similar to (but hopefully lesser than) the sound an average vacuum cleaner makes. 🤞🏻
@@PB-cx5nz very similar
@@dad.0 great - thank you so much for your help :)
Great video! Thanks! I am planning to buy one. Could you please let me know how long the power cable is? My dedicated outlet should be about 3 feet behind the tread. I would rather not face that wall, but rather across my home gym to watch the tv on the opposite wall. Should I be good? Thank you.
The power cord is attached to the front of the tread. I just checked and when pulled behind the Tread there is exactly 3ft of cord remaining. Hope this helps
Tech for Daddy thank you so much! It does help. I had the electrician wire another outlet onto that circuit. One toward the front/side. Thanks again for doing that. Much appreciated!
Of course! Hope you enjoy it like I have
Hi there, is it 7.5 ft to your rafter or between the rafters? We are gonna get one for our basement but its about 6.75ft to rafter and 7.5ft between. My wife is 5’3” and I’m 5’9”. Wonder if this is gonna work :/
It’s going to be really tight. The platform is 11” off the ground and add maybe another inch for shoes. You will probably have to run between rafters
do you have to grease or wax the deck? is there any maintenance that you have to do with this treadmill?
Nope, they suggest wiping it down with a wet cloth occasionally but no maintenance needed otherwise
I need info on a mat. I have hardwood floors. I see you have concrete so no big deal. Peloton does not sell a mat for treadmills. Any ideas links?
Hi Robert, my in laws use this mat on their hardwood floors for their Peloton Tread and it works great amzn.to/3hoPsqa. Little pricey but you are going to want a premium mat like this because this is a heavy piece of equipment that could rip through and damage floors with a less premium mat.
On Nordicktrack treadmills you can go into privilege mode to bring up a typical desktop and download apps like netflix and hulu. you should try to see if it works for the pelaton as well since its android also. let me know if it works :)
Nothing yet unfortunately
@@dad.0 I don't own one (yet) but I saw a post on reddit that says you can enter a developer mode where you can open a browser to watch things like youtube or netflix.
If people says cushioning is hard better to wait for they make it a bitt softer
Really a preference thing
What $200 Walmart treadmill did you have and would you recommend for a casual walker or would you recommend investing into a peleton
For causal walking I don’t think you need a Peloton. Any treadmill should work for that. Save yourself some money and get a cheaper one
@@dad.0 thanks for the quick reply
How tall are you? I’m 6’2” and have the same height ceiling as you and am worried that I’ll be bonking my head on the ceiling. But if you’re also tall, maybe I’ll be okay.
I’m 5’11” and can run on a 10% incline still without hitting my head (but just barely). You should be fine at a low incline but might be a problem if you go up higher
@@dad.0 thank you!
@@snackchat6855 no problem!
Does it do automatic inclining and declining with the scenic routes or classes?
unfortunately, it does not. At least not yet
Come on stimulus check... I need a peloton
😂😂😂😂
SAME
Lol
For the same price, the Nordictrack X32i blows this away! The peloton tread has no business charging $4500. It doesn’t have remotely the same features that other treadmills in that price range have.
Thanks for the info!
What can I do if it's not available in my zip code area?
Unfortunately, I’m not sure there’s much you can do besides look for a used one for sale near you that you could pick up or get delivered.
What do you think of the programming?
High quality and a lot to choose from!
I wish they would allow you to download apps... cmon peloton!
Would be nice
does it fold to where you can store it away in a corner?
Unfortunately it does not fold up
Tech for Daddy, thank you!
They will never open up the console/monitor because they want the monthly subscription each month. If you could watch TV or movies then no one would pay for the classes. You could research workout programs on TH-cam! Its all about the money.
Good points. I wish they would just make the subscription mandatory with the equipment and then open it up to download other apps. I think there are VERY few people who by this and don’t use the subscription
Can you watch Netflix on this?
Nope. Not yet at least
A kid just died cuz of this machine be safe
100%... keep kids away from this. very easy to turn this on accidentally
You have brown stains on the wall.... Ugh
Haha sorry, its an old home and we only had room from the Peloton in the basement
Poop
You must be miserable 😭😂
😶 manners are a rare thing these days
Does it do automatic inclining and declining with the scenic routes or classes?
No it doesn’t. At least not yet
