![]() Meaning that if you have a Peloton Bike/Bike+ ($39/month subscription), then the Peloton Tread doesn’t cost anything extra to use. I then simply activated the treadmill, which notably takes advantage of your existing Peloton hardware subscription if you already have a Peloton Bike or Bike+. This was also very much not graceful:īut once out of the van on flat ground, it easily rolled around: I then drove it back to Amsterdam, where I figured out how to remove it solo from the van. This wasn’t too hard for us, though as runners and cyclists we probably weren’t the most graceful pair to watch. No worries, everyone has to have a first time for everything.Ībout an hour after they left, I arrived and we wrangled it up into my rental van. As a result, while he said they did everything perfectly fine, they seemed a bit greener at this. This was actually one of the first days Peloton was delivering treadmills to Germany. The majority of it was pre-assembled, but they added the screen and then tested it to ensure it worked: He said it took about an hour, and took a few photos. ![]() Meanwhile, that morning, I had Peloton deliver it to his garage. So, each time I buy something from Peloton to review, I send it to his house and then rent a kidnapper van for the 2-hour drive from Amsterdam to the border: And with the help of a DC Rainmaker reader (thanks Chris!), I’m able to get Peloton goods delivered to his house, a mere couple of minutes over the German border (seriously). However, next door is Germany, where Peloton does deliver. I live in the Netherlands, which is devoid of Peloton purchasing ability. At 290lbs/132KG, it’s not something most people tend to want to deal with themselves.Īlso, I don’t live in one of those countries. Those technicians arrive and complete the assembly of your treadmill to a location of your choosing. Given the Peloton Treadmill isn’t exactly a small item, it’s only delivered by Peloton technicians to specific countries. With that – let’s dive into it! Delivery and Setup Process: The Peloton Tread costs $2,495, with a $39/month subscription fee. That model is still not back for sale yet. Further, this is the Peloton Tread, and not the more expensive Peloton Tread+. ![]() I’ll dive into that too more later in this post, especially notable since I have three young daughters (and a small dog). Now it’s worth noting that this is the updated one with the new provisions to protect children and pets. Thus, maybe the Peloton Tread would end up the same. The same goes for my wife, and occasional household visitors. But I also didn’t really expect to like the Peloton Bike either – and it’s since become a staple in my weekly workout lineup, alongside rides on both Zwift and TrainerRoad. ![]() Sure, a big piece of buying the treadmill was to write a review and do a YouTube review on it. Yes, I’ll explain that in a second.įrankly, I didn’t really know if I’d like it. So back in September when Peloton opened up sales for their Tread treadmill (the less expensive of the two), I ordered one to a friend/reader in Germany, and picked it up a couple of weeks later. I’ve tried various apps, with Zwift running coming the closest to being interesting. We bought it in Paris to do testing, and even managed to get it underground into the Cave system. In fact, I’ve had a treadmill for many years. I attempt to mitigate that by instead running at lunch when it’s usually warmer/brighter, or by simply cycling indoors more during the winter. And unfortunately for me, that’s basically the weather here in the Netherlands for about half the year. Or, explore the great city.īut it’s that middle-ground weather of just a few degrees above the freezing point on a dark and windy night with near-frozen rain that I despise running in. Whether it be hot and sticky, or snowy and icy – I’d rather gear up and explore the great outdoors. For the most part, unless it’s just above the freezing point and sideways raining – I’m going to run outside. In general, I’m actually not a big treadmill-loving person – despite having way more experience running on treadmills week after week in hotels for years, than I ever want to remember.
