There’s good news for Peloton members who have wished they could take Outdoor audio-only classes on their Peloton Tread/Tread+: Now you can. Previously, Peloton outdoor classes were only available to take on the Peloton app.
Among other things, this will allow people more flexibility when taking Peloton’s marathon training programs.
You can find the outdoor classes easily from your Peloton Tread device by going to Filters and selecting the new “Audio Only” toggle, just above the “Sort” feature. The outdoor runs and walks will then display. You will see the “Audio” flag at the bottom right of each class’s thumbnail.
You’ll also see them interspersed throughout the on-demand library as well, listed in chronological order where they would normally show up along with the regular classes on the Tread.
Once you select a class, you will see a similar layout as other classes available on the Tread, with the class’s Music, Class Plan, Member Activity, etc.
Once the outdoor class begins to play on the Tread, you will hear the audio of the instructor and music the same as how outdoor classes play from your Peloton app. The class thumbnail displays as the background the entire time while the class plays. You will also see your usual Tread metrics: time bar, class music, high five, and Leaderboard displays.
You’ll see other members on the Leaderboard who are taking the class at the same time as you on their devices.
Currently only outdoor walks and runs are available to take straight from your Tread. Peloton’s Walking Meditation classes (audio-only meditations meant to enjoy while walking outdoors) are not available to take on the Tread at this time.
In addition, Peloton’s recently launched Audio Guided Scenic walks/runs will not show up under the main Class page when you filter on “Audio Only.” To find the scenic classes narrated by Peloton instructors, you will still need to go to “Experiences” at the bottom of your screen then “Scenic Runs,” or to the “Audio Guided Scenic” class collection.
Note: As of April 24, the Outdoor Collection is not displaying on the Peloton app or the Tread. But presumably when that collection is displaying again, it may be another easy way to access the outdoor walks and runs from your Tread/Tread+.
Earlier this month, a small selection of outdoor classes briefly appeared to be available to take on the Tread (perhaps while the functionality was being tested), but the feature was ultimately pulled back. However, the ability to take outdoor classes from the Peloton Tread & Tread+ is now fully rolled out for members to enjoy.
Which of your favorite outdoor walks and runs are you most excited to take on your Tread?
