You Might Actually Be Able to Afford Peloton’s New Treadmill
It’s been a rough few years for Peloton, as the fitness company has come to realize the hard way that luxury at-home fitness equipment isn’t the easiest sell when the economy is the way it is. The company’s latest treadmill could actually fit into your budget—if you happen to have $2,195 lying around. The Tread Flex is both Peloton’s least expensive treadmill ever and its first foldable one.
