A new way to workout 

Whether you regularly walk to keep fit, are a new or casual runner, or are training for your next marathon, the Peloton Tread embodies the brand’s signature experience, and is built with a number of unique features geared towards enhancing the experience for athletes of all levels. 

• 23.8" HD touchscreen with integrated speakers: Transition seamlessly between the Peloton Tread and the floor during your workout. The screen tilts up and down 50 degrees, so you can have the best possible view and sound while on the Tread, bringing you even closer to instructors and Peloton’s global community.

• Thoughtfully designed running platform: At 173cm (L) x 84cm (W) footprint, the Peloton Tread is a powerful cardio workout in less space than your average treadmill. Its 150cm traditional belt allows for uninterrupted runs, and is fitted with adjustable knobs that are unique to the Peloton Tread, to create a frictionless experience so you can change or increase speed with ease.

• Auto-Incline: Similar to the Auto-Resistance feature on the Peloton Bike+, this feature automatically adjusts the incline based on instructor cues, to provide a smoother, more seamless training experience allowing runners and walkers to focus on training without having to manually adjust their incline.

• Performance driven metrics and tracking: To get the most out of your workouts, and improve over time, the Peloton Tread offers new features like; Just Run With Goals where you can tailor your training schedule and monitor your own performance by setting a goal for distance, time or output, using the ‘Just Run’ feature, or Splits where you can track your performance in realtime and see times for km splits in class, and the entire workout, thus enabling you to evaluate how training plans are impacting your performance, and adjust accordingly. 

• Seamless tech integration: Sync the Peloton Tread with your favourite tech wearables and platforms by connecting your Apple Watch®or Strava account so you can track and monitor your performance, and ensure your Peloton workout contributes to your daily movement goals.

• Safety first: Peloton Tread has two innovative safety features including the Tread Lock, a four-digit digital passcode that each Members will need to enter to unlock the belt before a workout, and the Safety Key, a physical safety key that helps Members come to a quick stop during a class if needed. 

With Peloton Tread in hot demand, Australians are in for a real treat, with the brand’s commitment to product innovation just one of the reasons why 92% of households that join Peloton in the new year, are still members 12 months later. 

“I’m inspired by being able to help motivate people to be the best versions of themselves each and every day,” said Peloton Tread Instructor, Jon Hosking. 

“The beauty of our class experience is that our broad range of content and instructors from all different backgrounds allows you to exercise on your own terms, no matter your mood, time restrictions, pace or place. Whether you’re looking to reset your fitness goals or level up your training, the Peloton Tread community is excited to welcome Australians to the leaderboard!”
