If you've been waiting for Black Friday to add a treadmill to your home gym, here's good news. Black Friday treadmill sales are among the most popular discounts of the holiday season, and this year Peloton, NordicTrack, Bowflex, and others are starting their sales early.

As a fitness editor, I've been testing treadmills for over five years, and the Peloton Tread is the only one that makes me look forward to clocking miles indoors. Now, Peloton has reduced the price of the Tread package, making the Tread Essentials package $250 less than usual.

In other words, for only $20 more than buying Tread by itself, you can get an exercise mat, two sets of dumbbells, a resistance band, and a heart rate monitor to boost your workout at home. Go buy the product!

The Essentials Bundle is $2515, just $20 less than the regular price of Peloton Tread, and the Peloton app has workouts for everything from yoga to HIIT, two sets of dumbbells, a resistance band, A reversible workout mat, and a heart rate monitor are all you need to take your workouts to the next level.

Of course, the biggest part of the purchase was the Peloton Tread, which is the best treadmill I have ever run on. The class is great and makes running miles indoors a pleasure. Whether you like to sing along to an artist's session or take your training to a higher level of seriousness, live and on-demand classes are for everyone.

It is also quite compact. At 68 inches long and 33 inches wide, it's considerably smaller than the treadmill you jump on at the gym, and the 23.8-inch HD touchscreen is easy to read, making it easy to share workouts to your Strava profile, join challenges, and connect your AirPods. The Tread also features a safety key and lock, making it safe for families with children and pets.

Finally, it's fun to use; the speed and tilt knobs on the Tread's arms are genius and will be copied by competitors in the coming years. It's easier to flip the knob forward to increase speed than it is to manipulate the touchscreen with sweaty fingertips. I've run many hours on the Peloton Tread and it ticks all the boxes in terms of motivation, running experience, and not taking up too much space in my house.
