They can save your training, and I swear, they can be a ton of fun—really. Between the engaging, interactive streaming treadmill classes, and the ability to strip down to your skivvies and have no one see you sweat, it’s the perfect accompaniment to your marathon training, interval workouts, and even steady, zone 2 workouts.
