How to Make Progress Toward Your Goals While You Wait for Your Tread or Tread+

If you’re eagerly awaiting your Peloton Tread or Peloton Tread+, you may find yourself wondering how you can start making strides toward your running or walking goals before delivery day. We know you’re ready to start your running journey with Peloton and are excited to get moving now.

In the past year alone, while running as a whole has increased in popularity, as evidenced by a world-record-breaking 55,000 finishers at the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon, we’ve also seen running pick up the pace here at Peloton. Through the end of June 2024, more than 3.7 million people have taken Peloton’s Running, Walking, or Hiking classes to achieve their goals, and 475,000 Members have participated in one of our running programs*.

We’ve also launched 16 new Run and Walk programming initiatives in 2024 with our expert instructors, including Lanebreak on Tread+, Pace Targets, and our 10K program, only adding to the demand we’ve seen for our treadmills. (More on how to get started with some of this programming now below!)

The running hype is real, and we can’t wait for you to experience the magic. Our teams are working hard to meet demand across certain markets, and there may be longer wait times as we move through the holiday season. If you purchased a Tread or Tread +, your estimated delivery date was displayed during the checkout process, and you were able to schedule delivery at checkout. In the meantime, here are a few ways to get moving with us.

What to Expect While You Wait

For a limited time, you will receive one month free of your All-Access Membership once your Tread or Tread+ is finally home. From the point of purchase up until the time your Tread or Tread + arrives, you’ll have access to Peloton App+, the premium tier of our App, which is your on-demand fitness companion with everything you need to meet your goals. There is so much to take advantage of in App+ that will set you up for success on Day 1 with your Peloton treadmill.

The Peloton App+ makes it easy to try a new workout and find more ways to move or reset. Whether it’s Yoga, Meditation, Stretching, or even Dance Cardio, you can choose from 10+ exercise modalities.

How to Get Started as a Peloton Member

You don’t have to wait to make progress towards your goals. Watch your inbox for our email. From there, you can access your free Peloton App+ account. Simply click on “Download the App” in the email while on your mobile device to download App+, then create your account using the email you used to purchase your Tread or Tread+. If you’re not sure of your password, you can reset it while you log in.

These are just a few of the things you can do with your Peloton App+ access!

Try Outdoor Runs + Walks

If you’re living in an area with crisp winter air, take advantage of the weather and transform your outdoor training with audio-guided coaching from Peloton’s instructors through the App+. You’ll get cues and motivation to fuel your runs and walks, plus live metric tracking or pace, distance, and elevation, and music to move you. These are just a few of the outdoor class types of which you can take advantage: 

Be sure to explore the Peloton Outdoor Collection for some of our favorite classes. Not a fan of training outdoors (or cold weather)? You can also access Peloton’s full library of cardio classes through Peloton App+ and take them using other cardio equipment.

Get Stronger

Strength training for runners is key for endurance, injury prevention, and building speed and power. If it’s not already part of your regular workout routine, now is a great time to start. While any amount of resistance training can help you build muscle that will serve you well in the long-term, Peloton Instructors have also developed a Strength for Runners Collection of classes that target the exact muscles runners can most benefit from strengthening.

Remember, when your treadmill arrives, you’ll still have access to all of these amazing features!

How to Prepare for Your Delivery 

When it’s almost delivery time, get ready to make space for your new Tread or Tread+! You can review the dimensions for the Tread and Tread+ here and you can also review the dimensions in your desired language. We recommend a room with at least 24 inches or 61 cm of space to the left, right, and front of the Tread or Tread+, and 79 inches or 2 m of space to the back for storing and training.

For taller runners, place your Tread or Tread+ in an area that has high ceilings, relative to your height. Check out the recommended ceiling heights by user height for more information. Depending on the layout of your house, this may mean finding a space in your basement or garage near a dedicated outlet, where some ceilings can be higher.

Still need help finding the perfect spot? We’ve got some suggestions. As a reminder, keep children and pets away from treadmills at all times, including during assembly and workouts.

We’re so excited to welcome you to the Peloton community, and we’ll see you on the Leaderboard!
