1. Sounds like quite the setup, whatever you decide. Going for a treadmill man cave?
Still in the planning phases at the moment trying to figure out all my options. But this is what I've got thus far:
I'm still undecided on the treadmill. The Norditrack 2950 is a contender as are several other brands around $4000. The enticing thing at the moment about the Peloton is the $150 monthly financing that is interest free for all 39 months.
-Stryd for increased treadmill accuracy and Zwift run capability. Could do another footpod to save a few dollars.
-Chromecast to get Netflix, Bravo Now, etc.
-Dumbells for Peloton workouts
-Fan for cooling
-Apple Lightning + HDMI for iPhone to TV hookup for Zwift
-Then choice of visual - 24 in TV (cheap), 10in iPad, 12in iPad, or 40in 4k tv. Because of the proximity of the tv to eye, I'm leaning to the 40in 4k (because it's so close). Cheap 4k TV that's not even close to cinema quality but it'll do the trick.
Then, trying to figure out the configuration in the basement:
The grey area are lower cabinets and allowing sufficient opening/working space. The tan areas have lower ceilings (or lower lights) at 85in instead of 95in. If I stand on the elliptical I am at 84 inch, which means I can't use it if it falls under that space. I can't be 100% on the height of me on the Tread yet.
Another option that is better because it leaves more Gigi space throughout. But it eliminates the elliptical for me and leaves 7in for Steph's head. We'll see if that is sufficient.
Then just taking the view that isn't from the top-down but rather how it would appear when looking at the wall. I wanted to see what the tv would look like over the very tall 32in monitor of the Peloton. It looks like they'll be close to flush (but there will be a little distance between them).
Might as well see what it would take to add a bike to the mix. Which at the moment looks like $100-250 for a used bike, $70 for Wahoo cadence/speed sensor (bluetooth to iPhone), Travel Trac Trainer ($130 mentioned by DC Rainmaker in 2018 trainer reviews). About $500 all in isn't a terrible price. Plus, I know a few people with bike equipment that might be looking to upgrade if I give them a good price on their used current items.
