Peloton is extending its gamification strategy to its treadmill range, launching the software experience, Lanebreak Tread. This is designed for their currently struggling line of treadmills. The software interface is akin to the racing experiences already available for Peloton’s exercise bike series. Given the proven success of Lanebreak for Peloton cycles, there’s confidence in the potential of this initiative.
Lanebreak Tread is being rolled out worldwide, accessible to all Peloton Tread members. According to Peloton, the gaming element entails participants aligning and maintaining specific speeds and inclines to gain high scores. To guide users, the experience features animations, all accompanied by an energetic soundtrack.
The software fully exploits the Tread hardware by automatically adjusting the speed and incline to align with the game’s progression. It includes a unique mechanism for interval workouts, enhanced visual aids for runners, new avatars, and a plethora of pace-related difficulty settings.
The game levels fluctuate based on the selected playlist and workout type, presenting difficulty levels from beginner to expert. Each game stage lasts between five to 30 minutes, catering to workouts of diverse durations. Users also have a broad selection of music genres, including pop, electronic, hip hop, rock, metal, and country, amongst others. However, classical music is excluded, considering that running to Bach could seem out of place. Peloton’s new Lanebreak Tread software is available starting today for their entire treadmill range.
