Every morning when I walk my dog, I pass dozens of people in my neighborhood. They’re all running at ungodly hours because it’s July and it’s way too hot to work out when normal people do, which is when you start feeling sleepy at 3 pm. (I’m an expert! Trust me on this!) Peloton has anticipated that we would all rather be inside in air-conditioning, which is why everything from the vaunted exercise company is currently on sale at Amazon.

The Best Treadmill
Reviewer Kristin Canning agrees with me: “It’s impossible to beat the workout programming you can get from Peloton,” she says. Even if you’re a long-time runner (and I’ve been running for almost two decades now), taking Peloton’s classes with their funny, often-viral instructors can push you out of your comfort zone and get you out of a rut. This is also easily the most beautiful treadmill we tried, with a 23.8-inch touchscreen and a minimalist display. The only problem is that it doesn’t fold, so you’ll need to dedicate a space in your home for it.

Maybe it’s just because I spend most of the summer on the water that I have a weakness for rowing machines. Reviewer Megan Wollerton noted that she was almost annoyed by how much she liked this premium hunk of metal, which has a large display and Peloton’s requisite, comprehensive library of workouts.

Granted, this bike has not been a mainstay in peoples’ homes since Mr. Big died while riding one in And Just Like That. But reviewer Chris Haslam notes that the Bike+’s programming includes better audio and floor workouts in addition to spin classes. Peloton’s programming is unrivaled, and the bike will also take up much less space than the Tread.
