Excerpt: In our hands-on test of the Peloton Tread, we marveled at its versatility for running, walking, and hiking simulations. The manual and auto-incline features flawlessly mimicked trail runs, while the 24” HD touchscreen delivered an immersive experience without distractions. We appreciated how it adapts to both casual strolls and intense training sessions, and we found the manual adjustments provided a satisfying, human connection to the movement, unlike pre-set programs on other machines. Though we love the auto-incline for realism, we also loved being able to override it for control. The Peloton Tread’s blend of technology and tradition surprised us—it proves that sometimes, the best human-paced workouts don’t need heavy automation after all.
