Pro-Form has launched an affordable new smart exercise bike, treadmill and mirror to make interactive home workouts accessible to more people, and challenge the big names.

Pelotonis famous for its interactive smart exercise bikes and treadmills, but it’s certainly not the only company in the game. ProForm, NordicTrack and FreeMotion all produce cycling and running machines that connect toiFit, which offers a very similar service, with interactive classes from hundreds of instructors.

ProForm’s newStudio Bike Pro 22costs $1,499 (about £1,000 / AU$2,000), and features a 22in touchscreen, and resistance that adjusts automatically in sync with iFit workouts. For comparison, the similarly-speccedPeloton Bike Plusstarts at $2,495 / £2,295 (about AU$3,200).

The entry-levelPeloton Bikestarts at $1,895 / £1,750 (about AU$2,400), but lacks the swivelling screen and only offers manual resistance adjustment.

TheProForm Pro 9000treadmill also has a 22in HD touchscreen, plus a cushioned belt to reduce impact on your joints. iFit trainers can automatically adjust the speed of the treadmill during workouts, and it costs $1,799 (about £1,300 / AU$2,300).

ThePeloton Treadcosts $2,495 / £2,295 (about AU$3,200), with a similar belt and a larger 23.5in touchscreen. TheTread Plus(only available in the US) costs $4,295, and features a 33in screen. It also has a slatted running platform that’s intended to feel more natural than a standard treadmill.

Finishing off the set, theProForm Vueis a full-length 58.2 x 20.4in mirror and 22in HD touchscreen display. As you work out, you can watch and match the iFit trainer’s form. The Vue costs $1,499 (about £1,000 / AU$2,000).
