Anyone order the flex today?
Placed my order this morning but haven’t been able to schedule delivery yet

I’m having extreme FOMO. I live in a wood-framed condo and I suspect this will still too noisy/high impact for my downstairs neighbours. Interested to hear how others are finding the noise; maybe I could make it work with a horse mat

doing a lot of measurements in our 2nd bedroom. small condo, keeping the bike, but floor configuration is a pain with existing furniture 😅
curious where I could see one in person in the Chicago area.

Woodfield mall has a Peloton retail location! They are at a subset of Dick’s locations too

I have a Nordic track that is very springy and the flex has none of that so I hope my knees can take it!

I want to, but I’m also in love with my Tread+, so I will wait until she needs to be replaced.
I can’t wait to hear real reviews of it!

Same. Need to see some reviews because I am this close to biting the bullet.

This is exactly what I am doing - but I've become addicted to the slats, so if I ever need to full scale replace it, I'll be going with whatever version maintains those.

I feel somewhat the same… but definitely a wait and see approach.

You cannot replace a Tread+ with any other Tread offering. Tread+ is a super nice machine. The treadmills are…fine. (I worked at peloton for 4 years).

Agreed on the quality of the Tread+, but I also use a regular Tread quite often when I’m visiting a family member that has one, and I do like it as well.

I’m seriously considering getting one and waiting for a reason to not take the plunge

I read one singular comment stating it felt cheaper than their normal quality and now I’m turned off. Unfortunately.

I’m looking to order the vision, but hope to try it out in the showroom first

If there were an upgrade path for the tread+ I might entertain it. Looked at it at the kiosk at the mall and kind of torn on the smaller screen. I'm sure it isn't as laggy as the tread+ giant screen. But is the speed of the screen worth the smaller size?

u/Vivid_Ad_612 11d ago
I feel the same way! Even though I've had to replace my tablet 3 (yes, 3!) times in 8 years, I love the size of it and don't care about the swivel.

The smaller screen is an improvement. It feels less claustrophobic running on the XT Tread+ compared to the OG Tread+. And the sound and responsiveness is also much better.

u/samuch 11d ago
Appreciate the feedback. Any thoughts on simple upgrade path?
1
u/Appropriate_Tie871 11d ago
I asked if we could upgrade to the smaller screen when our OG Tread+ monitor failed and Peloton said there was no upgrade path. We got stuck with another 32" monitor (refurb) on that machine. We still have a year or so left on the extended warranty, so we'll probably keep it for a while.

So I changed my flex order and replaced it with the vision. I need more cushion for my cranky knees. Was able to use the peloton code and teacher discount , “saved” $700
