The VergeHands-on review · 2022
Calls the Tread an excellent, safer and well-made treadmill with great classes, but recommends it only to committed Peloton fans because of the high total cost and its locked-in ecosystem.

Garage Gym ReviewsHands-on review · 2022
A strong buy for people who love guided Peloton classes and its big touchscreen, but others will find cheaper treadmills fit better, and the firm deck and big footprint are drawbacks.
