It also launched a redesigned Tread priced at $2,495 following a voluntary recall of Tread and Tread+ machines due to reports of a child's death and dozens of other injuries. In November, the company slashed its full-year guidance for 2022 due to a "softer than anticipated" start to the second quarter and "challenged visibility" in its near-term operating performance as a result of uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Peloton is forecasting $4.4 billion to $4.8 billion in total revenue for fiscal year 2022, down from previous guidance of $5.4 billion. The company anticipates Connected Fitness subscriptions will grow to somewhere between 3.35 million and 3.45 million for the full year.
