When people explore the relationship between technology and fitness, the conversation quickly pivots to wearables. Indoor bike startup Peloton is shaking things up with its latest exercise innovation: The Tread.

What may look like a normal treadmill, Tread has the bells and whistles of something much smarter. Like Peloton’s bikes, Tread is equipped with a screen that streams real-time fitness classes. The on-demand classes offer a one-way feed so that instructors can communicate with the user, and get a real-time digest of their activity level while using Tread.

Tread is optimized for shock absorption, and offers a seamless feature for controlling incline and speed without stopping you in your stride.

The real draw to the Tread is its exclusive content – broadcast on a 32-inch display. It’s an immersive experience, and one that’s set to seriously disrupt the traditional gym and even more modern boutique class fitness models.
