Tomorrow Dec 25th is the last day of the sale, so I need to make a quick decision here. Basically, I can't do bikes or ellipticals due to injuries/issues. My physical therapist approved a treadmill. I am not working out or getting ANY exercise right now because I can't find a gym or yoga studio I like in my area. I NEED to do something about exercising. I can't walk outside because the weather and darkness are turn offs for me. I do like walking though. I also like watching Netflix, and I like classes. All of that points to a Peloton. I need something in my house that is convenient to use. It has to be high quality, or it will be a turn off for me... Any suggestions? Budget is not an issue, it is all about making the right decision and not being wasteful. Thank you.

I am also interested for any insights you can offer on the NordicTrack treadmill we well. I found a Youtube comparison of the two, stating the the NordicTrack treadmill has cushion, whereas the Peloton one does not. I have lower back issues and can benefit from a bit of cushion on the walking belt...

I can't offer any advice on the treadmill, but just as a suggestion for something you may not have thought of, if your injuries won't prevent it, shadow boxing and footwork will get your pulse rate up quickly and you can do it while watching tv or listening to whatever you like to listen to. It's very good exercise. And it's free.

I can only offer that I have and use a Peloton Cycle. It has been reliable, never broken, and the few times I have needed something, Peloton Customer Service has been responsive. I would expect the Tread to be similar.
