Peloton's Motion-Tracking Coaching Camera Is Finally Available and Slightly More Affordable

#artificialintelligence

Although Peloton already puts cameras in its exercise bikes and treadmills, the new Peloton Guide, which is finally available after being first announced in November, is the company's first camera-specific device that uses AI-powered motion tracking to monitor your form and routines while you work out from home. There are a few notable changes between the version of the Peloton Guide that was announced late last year and the version that's finally now available--at least in the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia to start. The steep $495 price tag, which actually made the Guide one of the most affordable products Peloton offers, has dropped to just $295. Part of the pricing change no doubt comes from the company's attempts to lure new users while people slowly return to gyms as the world has seemingly stopped caring about the ongoing pandemic. But the original version of the Peloton Guide was also going to include an armband heart monitor which is now an optional $90 add-on. It can also be purchased in a pricier $545 bundle with three sets of dumbbells and a mat for users not already equipped for strength training at home.
