Late last week, Peloton instructor Chase Tucker announced on Instagram that he was leaving Peloton to pursue other opportunities. Peloton has so far had a very strong retention of their coaches with less than a handful having left over the past several years.

Review: The Peloton Tread is a great addition for existing Peloton members

To be honest, I did not want to get the Peloton Tread. My initial plan was to wait for the more premium Peloton Tread+ to be released after it was recalled last year.

However, given Peloton’s current situation, it was made pretty clear to me that the Tread+ will likely not be released again anytime soon. So I gave in, and ordered the Peloton Tread instead.

I am glad I did.

Peloton’s new video game mode, Lanebreak, finished up their beta last week and has finally launched for everyone with a Peloton Bike or Peloton Bike+. So yesterday, I scrapped everything left on my schedule to take several of the 15 currently available rides. And you know what… Peloton has done a hell of a job here – Lanebreak is off to a great start!
