Confirmation of Peloton Rower & Lower Cost Treadmill for 2020
Bloomberg dropped a report on everyone this week semi-confirming the news that Peloton would be releasing a rower in 2020. While that had been rumored for a while, they also had the surprising piece of information that Peloton would also be releasing a second, lower cost, version of the Peloton Tread in 2020. The Peloton Rowing Machine will likely be released first, with the treadmill coming later. You can see a summary of the full Bloomberg news report here.
Becs Gentry interviewed by Runners World
Runner’s World has a great interview with Becs Gentry, where she discusses how she used Treadmill Speed Sessions to help her prepare for the NYC Marathon. Last week, she got a 12 minute PR in the New York City Marathon, crossing the line in 2:37:01, the fastest non-elite female in the race!

We also found out this week that there would be 5 showrooms in Germany for Peloton’s initial launch into Germany. They will be located in Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Frankfurt and Dusseldorf. You can find the exactly locations & full addresses for each here.
