Fitness trends go back and forth, but combining heart and muscle training are all anger. Tonal is doing it with the AERO movement, and now Peloton is banking on the FAD with a fitness machine in the new cross training series.
The Peloton Cross Training series released today consists of a new version of the bike, bicycle+, tread, tread+and row+. Each plus model has a built -in AI camera that is similar to interruption. Pelo Tone GuideAnalyze the movement, trace the person in charge, and provide a form correction to help you safely train. The Peloton IQ, which is trained for years of membership data and driven by a new chipset, is an AI brain of the system.
I visited Peloton Studios in New York to test the Peloton IQ and the new cross training series models and guide all new features and hardware.
PELOTON IQ: A smarter way to train
Nick Caldwell, the chief product manager of Peloton, said, “The guide was excellent. We learned a lot from it.” “Peloton IQ with cross training is the next step.”
Peloton’s Machine Vision Technology, provided by the plus model of the cross -training series, uses a skeletal key gun to track and analyze the form similar to what the tempo has done for years. For example, based on the shoulders and other skeletal data points, the system can determine whether it is fully lowered in push -ups.

I tested the PELOTON IQ in the new cross training series Tread+and found it accurately tracking the person in charge for exercise such as Dumbbell Curls and Dumbbell Squats. Thanks to the new AI camera, you can see yourself on the tread+ screen while exercising. When AI detects errors, form feedback appears in real time on the right side of the screen. For example, when you do overhead press, you can advise you not to swing for momentum. Or you can say “lift up the chest” while doing a dumbbell squat.
When launching, the system can track the person in charge for 120 movements, including some complexes, and provide feedback in the form of over 50 exercises. PELOTON plans to start a form feedblact for yoga in the future, hoping to expand this quickly.
Caldwell said, “We have the best ability to train this motor detector.

With Peloton IQ, AI is involved in all stages of exercise. Before exercising, you can set your goals (strength construction or weight management, etc.), time promises and music preference. Then build a personalized weekly plan integrated into the hardware experience and Peloton’s mobile app.
AI can track output performance and use data from Apple Health, Fitbit, or Garmin account that connects part of the recommendation. It is too hard or too easy to exercise.

PELOTON’s AI cannot detect the weight to lift, but you can enter the information during the setting and use the voice control to record the changes. Light, medium and heavy dumbbells constitute virtual weight racks, and Peloton IQ suggests adjustment as needed throughout the exercise. For example, if 10 prescriptions are prescribed, it is recommended to increase the weight of the dumbbell by tracking 20 repetitions. If you think you are having difficulties, it’s a good idea to lose weight. If you change the weight, you can see AI. For example, “Pelo Tone, I am switching to £ 15.”

Like the strength+ app, you can now perform strength classes in the Cross Training Series and its own environment mode. PELOTON can also integrate Strength+ Dynamic Workout Generator into the hardware experience to add the specific exercise you want and remove the exercise you want to skip.
AI also provides weekly summary that helps to emphasize personal records and maintain tracking. If everything you are doing is to exercise, you can suggest you run. Or if you are working hard every day, it is better to integrate active recovery practices such as yoga or mobility movement.

Cross Training Series: All Hardware Refresh

PELOTON is renamed ROW+, which is renamed to Base Bike and Tread, Plus version, and ROW, and this launch is rewriting the entire hardware line. All cross training series models feature the original fellow tone bike and a swivel screen that encourages the floor -based muscle exercise, which is missing from the tread. Most of the other hardware upgrades are booked for plus models.

In addition to the built -in AI -based cameras for Movement Tracking, the Plus model also provides improved sound quality adjusted by SonOS, and the first subwoofer Peloton is integrated into the fitness machine. PELOTON can add a microphone for voice control to pause exercise and interact with a new AI during strength training sessions.
CALDWELL said the release deals with some of the most comfortable requests. The base bike has a softer sheet with improved ergonomics. All plus models have a fan that can be adjusted with a dedicated button or screen control. Finally, the new bicycle+has a telephone holder that can be used vertically or horizontally.

In terms of price set of cross -training series, bicycle costs are $ 1,695, bicycle+$ 2,695, tread is $ 3,295, tread+$ 6,695, and row+$ 3,495.
All Pelo Tone Machines require $ 44 to $ 49.99 of all-ACCCESS membership qualifications. Price hikes apply to all access members with old equipment.
Is it worth upgrading?
If you already own a fellow tone bike, treadmill or noro and you are not really interested in muscle training, it will not be worth upgrading the machine to one of the new models. There is still room for controversy whether the Peloton IQ movement tracking function for strength training is helpful and whether to participate in the upgrade. We look forward to testing all new Peloton Cross Training Series machines to provide decisive purchases and upgrade advice in the near future, so please keep an eye on details.

I previously worked as an analyst at smart home and wearable devices, and before that, I was a reporter dealing with consumer technology news. I am also a yoga instructor and actively teaches groups and personal classes for almost 10 years.

My little Florida Beach Bungalow is full of smart home technology. All rooms have a smart speaker or display to control other connected devices by voice. If you use the nest hub on the table next to my bed, you can set the morning alarm, control the Wyze light bulb, and set the temperature to the nest temperature control device. I use Amazon Echo Show 8 at the kitchen counter to explore recipes, reorganize protein powder, check the weather, and see the news while cooking.
Air purifiers are essential because they suffer from allergies. My favorite model is Dyson Pirifier Cool TP07, doubling as a fan, and sending indoor pollution data to the mobile app.
My Pitbull Bradley is a good robot vacuum cleaner. I am currently using the premium Ecovacs Deebot, which can be emptyed both vacuum and mops, emptying its own trash can and washes its own mop cloth.
In addition to yoga for fitness, I like to mix everyday life with cycling, indoor adjustment, running and muscle training. I take classes in tone smart intensity training machines, but I prefer to use Nordictrack ISELECT adjustable dumbbells when I lift it. I trace the beach with Apple Watch as I stir indoor in Avarian Machine and listen to music from the Apple AirPods Pro. On weekends, I like to ride an electronic bicycle like a fun and solid and beach -friendly Aventon Aventure for fitness.
My job includes many virtual meetings, so high quality webcams, microphones and ring lights are important. I use JABRA PANACAST 20 webcam, Elgato Wave: 3 microphone and YESKER tripods.
My favorite phone platform is iPhone, but I used Android extensively for product testing.
