Tyler Lizenby/CNET The smart fitness industry is growing fast, but there’s one company that helped establish the category early on: Peloton. 

Founded in 2012, Peloton started out with a $2,245 spin bike that quickly set itself apart from the competition — and continues to dominate today. Unlike your typical spin bike with a standard resistance knob, an adjustable seat and handlebars and space to stash a water bottle or two, Peloton’s version also tacks on an integrated HD touchscreen display. 

Pay $39 per month to access live and on-demand classes with a leaderboard of other participants across the country. It’s as close to feeling like you’re in a studio class without, you know, actually being in a studio class. 

Then, in 2018, Peloton added another product to its lineup, the $3,995 Tread. Like the bike, the Tread treadmill has a built-in touchscreen and the same $39 subscription plan so you can participate in classes and see how your stats compare to others. 

That’s Peloton’s TL;DR, but be sure to read on for a closer look at the bike and the treadmill so you can more easily determine which one’s right for you. Spoiler: They’re both excellent, albeit pricey, products that I highly recommend if you’re interested in well-made home fitness tech.
