Sled Mode Classes Arrive With 6 Powerful Tread+ Workouts
Five Peloton instructors lead a new HYROX-style Running collection built around light, medium, and heavy sled resistance on Tread+.
Sled Mode classes are now live on Peloton Tread+, giving members six instructor-led workouts built around the new feature that turns the slat belt into a HYROX-style sled push station. The Sled Mode collection arrived October 1 in the Running category, with sessions ranging from a 5-minute warm-up to 20-minute strength workouts.
Sled Mode itself became available on October 1 for members with a Tread+, rolling out as part of Peloton’s new Tread software. It works on the new Tread+ Vision and earlier Tread+ models, and requires an All-Access Membership. The Clip Out covered the feature’s launch details in Sled Mode Brings HYROX Training Home.
Peloton describes the Sled Mode collection as a way to add resistance to the slat belt to mimic elite cross-training competitions and build lower body power. That description ties the new Sled Mode classes directly to the sled push, one of the signature stations in HYROX racing.
Every Workout in the Sled Mode Collection
All six Sled Mode classes became available at 12:00 AM ET on Thursday, October 1, adding up to 95 minutes of instructed sled training.
As a starting reference, Speer placed light resistance at 30 to 100 pounds, medium at 75 to 200 pounds, and heavy at 150 pounds and up. The overlap between the ranges leaves room for members to find their own fit. He also walks through hand position for light and moderate pushes, so members can set up correctly before adding weight.
His 5 min Sled Warm Up works as a short primer that pairs with any of the longer workouts in the Sled Mode collection.
How Sled Mode Classes Work on the Tread+ Screen
According to Peloton, members first turn on Free Mode, which disengages the motor so the belt moves under their own power. From there, they can access Sled Mode to add up to 300 pounds of resistance to the belt.
On screen, a Sled Weight dial appears with minus and plus buttons and a listed maximum of 300 lbs. The dial starts at Free, meaning no added resistance, and the selected load displays at the top of the dial and in the Sled Weight readout below it.
Sled Mode classes also add a Sled Speed metric, which tracks how quickly the member moves the belt. With the dial set to Free, the Incline readout shows a dash. Once weight is added, that space switches to Sled Weight. Total Output and calories stay visible on the display.
Sled Mode Classes Bring HYROX Training to Tread+
Peloton positions Sled Mode as HYROX training functionality in its Tread lineup announcement, and the feature’s resistance range reflects that. Peloton says the 30 to 300 pound span mirrors typical HYROX sled push weights, so members can train that station at home instead of relying on gym access or a separate sled.
That is where the Sled Mode collection fills a gap. Peloton has offered HYROX-focused programming before, but the sled push required equipment most home gyms don’t have. With Sled Mode classes, the movement now has dedicated hardware and structured coaching on the same machine members use for their runs.
The format also fits beyond race prep. Members who aren’t training for HYROX can still use the Strength and Strength & Conditioning sessions to add lower body power work to a Tread+ routine without extra gym equipment.
The new Sled Mode classes are one piece of a larger Tread software release that also includes Run Analysis. With six workouts available at launch and a clear light, medium, and heavy framework, the Sled Mode collection gives HYROX athletes and Tread+ owners a defined place to start and a straightforward way to progress.

Members can find the Sled Mode classes under the Tread category and in Collections, where the Sled Mode collection groups all six workouts in one place.
The lineup falls into three groups. Andy Speer handles preparation and fundamentals, while the remaining Sled Mode classes are split between Strength and Strength & Conditioning formats, each offered in 15 and 20 minute lengths.
Andy Speer Opens the Sled Mode Classes With the Basics
For members new to sled training, the 20 min Intro to Sled Training is the natural starting point. “Sled training is a safe, effective way to build strength, speed, endurance, all of it,” Speer said in class. He explained that Sled Mode classes use three levels of resistance: light, medium, and heavy, and noted that, as with strength training and weights, the right load is individual.
As a starting reference, Speer placed light resistance at 30 to 100 pounds, medium at 75 to 200 pounds, and heavy at 150 pounds and up. The overlap between the ranges leaves room for members to find their own fit. He also walks through hand position for light and moderate pushes, so members can set up correctly before adding weight.
