    Tread

    This cult-favorite machine is Peloton’s only treadmill model; the company’s larger Tread+ was subject to a high-profile recall after dozens of injuries and at least one death. But this model has a different design, and it sports many of the features that were first popularized by Peloton with its flagship bike, including a wide array of live and prerecorded exercise classes available on its high-def screen. (You need to pay extra for those classes, though.) It’s a well-designed treadmill, with spinnable knobs that make it easy to quickly adjust speed and elevation. If you are interested in Peloton’s classes, and perhaps motivated by seeing yourself on a leaderboard with other participants, the Tread can be a worthwhile investment.
