"Peloton App Expands Compatibility with Third-Party Treadmills for Subscribers"
TL;DR
Peloton is now allowing subscribers of its most expensive workout plan, Peloton App Plus, to pair the app with third-party treadmills that use Bluetooth FTMS. Users can record and display metrics such as incline, speed, pace, distance, calorie burn, and elevation gain during Tread classes. Sessions on third-party treadmills will count towards challenges and badges. This move comes as Peloton focuses more on its subscription-based model and addresses milder problems after a tumultuous period of high demand and subsequent challenges.
