As far as output, what I do is look at the leaderboard on the right and stay ahead of my output numbers from the previous timed ride of that given length. That way I can nearly always have a personal best for that time length and continue improving. This has worked extremely well for me on the bike. Our Tread arrives in a few days, and I think that method will work just as well on it, since both machines have a leaderboard and show your previous walk/ride output numbers. At least from what I observed in the store, both machines seem to be the same in that regard.
Thanks for sharing! I received my new tread last February and I've been noticing the tread shaking way too much. Your video confirmed that I'm not the only one. Thank you.
Great video. As you use the machine more, can you do a tutorial on the maintenance? Example, do you have to put oil on the belt? Do you have to tighten the belt? If so, a how to video would be great.
Thanks for the tips, Steve! Appreciated! My wife and I just bought a Bike+ and are considering adding a Tread to the family but had the same concerns you raised in your video re: wobbly-ness and screen height. Seems the Tread+ which is available in the US would counteract that but at a larger footprint and price tag. Thanks for taking the time to make your videos! Cheers.
Great video Steve. I’ve had my tread almost a week now and can’t get enough of it. Not even a very keen runner but this really pushes me. I’m 6’4 and the length of the tread isn’t an issue.
@@SteveJulien I must admit, I haven’t actually noticed the buzzing yet. I will listen out for it next time. Only downside so far me is lack of live classes, however, I guess that’s just down to being held in a different time zone.
Received our Tread in February, it’s got the hole family getting fit, the enthusiasm from the classes are so lifting & fun, I do get the wobble quite a bit🤷♀️, As for ur performance. My b have a rest leg day after 2 days of bike & tread,
I ordered my bike plus in Canada thanks to your videos. Having said that the tread is honestly outclassed by sole f80 and horizon 7.8 at. The tread plus looks amazing however the 6000 dollar price tag is too much. I think though they have priced them self out of this tread with its quality and performance. Keep up the great work.
Agreed, I have a bike plus in Canada and just took delivery of my Horizon 7.8 treadmill. I really wanted to love the Tread, but the 5 yr warranty on a 3 HP motor scared me !!! Horizon is lifetime
Hi Steve, thanks for the tips! We also have the bike and have had the tread for a little shy of a month. I’ve noticed that I’m performing better on the bike than I was before. I alternate between the two. I tried doing both but it was overkill. One day bike and next day tread... Still doing walks on the tread but I’m finding that I’m getting stronger by the day. Hope this helps? Your gym looks great!
Hi Steve; running shortens the hamstrings whereas Cycling uses them. Its possible this is why your cycling stats have deteriorated. Overall I bet your body is actually healthier and more flexible because you have better balanced leg muscles. So keep alternating rather than gaining a dominant cycling bod 💪🤗.
It’s generally the other way round, cyclists typically have shorter hamstrings as they are not putting them through their full range of motion on the bike. Runners tend to over stretch the muscles resulting in a strain etc
I wouldn’t worry about your output being less on the bike compared to a tread run because running is far more exertion than cycling. If your output is going down then maybe it’s your body adjusting to now doing more intense sessions on the tread and over time will come back up. I certainly know if I step away from the bike when I go back to it takes awhile to bring endurance, it is working different muscles I guess
I can't wait to eventually get one! I agree that it'd probably be nice to have the screen at eye level...but I guarantee that it would shake even more if it were since it'd be further extended from the tread. I 👏🏼 can't 👏🏼 wait 👏🏼
I mountain bike every weekend since the start of 2020. Went from hopelessly unfit to quite fit but noticed starting to plateau. Took up running (do 4-5KM most week days at 5:30/km ish pace) and my fitness on the bike has noticeably increased. Running and cycling are quite often cross trained so maybe it is some over training?
The toaster at my moms house makes a VERY loud high pitch noise and no one notices it but me so I always unplug it after using it- it’s that loud. Glad I’m not the only one that ever notices sounds like that lol
Another 2 questions. Q1 Is the machine quiet? I live in an apartment and I wouldn't want to bother my neighbors. Q2 Can I just run (using a marathon training plan) without joining a class, and still have it record my run to my activity chart?
Hi, The machine itself is fairly quiet but the thudding of running on any machine will transfer noise unless you live in a very sturdy building. Yes, you can just jump on and select ‘just run’ and get all the data. Full playlist here and it’s covered in my review. ruclips.net/p/PLvWIWt_PRaIUanA-nnUpTNExYxBLUS9nU
I wish they would have made a bigger tray area under the screen. Then you could put your laptop/iPad for working/Netflix. Also have the cup holders center rather than to the left or right would seem awkward. I’d worry about getting the bottle back in that narrow holder when I grab it during a run and throw it back in there (like I do with my old treadmill now). What do you think about the tray/bottle area? Do you think there’s a way to create a tray to fit on it? Thanks!
The bike and tread outputs aren’t directly comparable. You generate more watts from a tread workout than a bike. For example, my FTP (max power over an hour) on the bike is about 220W but on the tread I hit 220 when I’m just in a light jog. The better comparison is to look at your FTP on the bike and 5k time trial for run and how it changes over time to understand progress.
If you had to pick one between the new tread and the OG bike what do you pick? I am interested in life classes and only have the budget for one of these . Thanks
That loud click when you turned it on…is that normal? Mine is doing that very frequently when I turn it on, when I don’t touch anything for like 5 seconds and when it gets to the desired speed or incline.
The movement is standard on treadmills.......even on a $17,000 Skilrun. It's all good. Enjoy your Tread!!!!!! Excuse me while I go look at pigeon feet.
My plastic end caps that hide the bolts for the rails attaching to the base won't stay on securely. Also, there's an unsightly diagonal seam on the track material. Does yours have that?
Hi Dawn! I haven’t noticed the end caps but 100% for the seam in the belt. Here’s my full review where I talk about it: ruclips.net/video/T03GfA74O_4/видео.html

@@SteveJulien i am Concerned about the unusually short warranty and how much extra the extended warranty is. I have been reading about tread giving up on people only after the first year and how insanely expensive it is to fix it once out of warranty.
@@relarras The new Tread has only been out a few weeks now so its hard to say what the reliability will be like. For peace of mind, I'm planning to buy the extened warranty. I have it for the bike so both will be covered for 39 Months and then i'll prbably sell them and use the money for newer versions. I know what you mean though. The new tread is a brand new product so hard to get lonmg term reviews.
hi steve when your in a class does the tread mill auto adjust the speed and incline like on a norditrack tread mill they adust them selfs to the program
Do NOT buy a Peloton treadmill. I bought one and they set a delivery date and no showed me 3 times so I cancelled the order. Then someone from corporate reached out and guaranteed it would get delivered and they no showed me 2 more times. He finally just cancelled my order. Not even an executive could get it delivered. I live in Nashville…not like I’m in the middle of nowhere. What a trash company.
I think you'll be really pleased. Runners heal cups, biofreeze and runners compression socks will help. Also, make sure you do the warm ups and cool down stretches. Have a great weekend!

Have you noticed issues with the firmware updates? Mine just update and stopped working.
Peloton Firmware is notmally rock solid. Try a long press (I think its 5-10 secs.) on the on/off button and it should reset itself.
If you had to pick one between the new tread and the OG bike what do you pick? I am interested in life classes and only have the budget for one of these . Thanks
There’s lots of factors! I can’t decided! I’d go with what you like doing the most of of the two. You can always get the other one later.
That loud click when you turned it on…is that normal? Mine is doing that very frequently when I turn it on, when I don’t touch anything for like 5 seconds and when it gets to the desired speed or incline.
Let peloton know and they’ll ask you to send a short video.
There is a click when it comes on, but that’s about it.

5:21 you might want to consider just getting a cable with an angled plug (assuming this is one of the common standard plugs).

any chance you could do a video on using it outside the classes? - like an old skool treadmill - stats / scenery for the day you just want a 5km pb

the tread and the bike are using different muscle groups. tread = more hams and bike = more quads. i would blame this for your condition difference.
