Good morning! I don’t know if it’s this way with you, but I can focus hard for an hour or two and get nothing. Then, after a shower or cup of coffee, BAM! This particular BAM! happened in early February 2020 and we only feel comfortable presenting it to you now after our Walk with a Doc Research and Development (R&D) Team has pulled 3+ months of 20-hour workdays. 
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the world’s first FULLY IMMERSIVE TREADMILL (Codename F.I.T.). No treadmill has ever attempted to come close to what our team has accomplished over the last 104 days.
Our engineers have created a truly riveting masterpiece 100% focused on captivating and delighting every single last one of your senses. Let’s begin.
Sight – like several of the fancy new bikes/treadmills we indeed have a large mesmerizing screen. However, the Peloton bike’s is only 21.5”, ours is 48”. Just like the fancy bikes and treadmills, this will display actual footage from the course route you choose (we currently have 175 global routes, we’ll have 400 courses by March 2021).
But here is where we really separate ourselves from the pack, we are adding depth to your unique experience by positioning various props throughout your room. Say for example, you pick our Yosemite National Park 3 mile Run. Your ‘running group’ (Sorry, I should’ve said by now, all treadmills come with 4 actors included) will position several small (stuffed) bison 4 feet past your treadmill screen. They have been specifically crafted to a scale where they will ‘feel’ 200 yards away. Some of our San Francisco Alcatraz Island test runners have reported seeing an actor dressed in a full wetsuit with snorkel alongside them.Can you see what I mean as we talk about layers and depth? Proud of our R&D as I promise you won’t find this with any other treadmill company on the market. 
Sound – our Installation team (think Geek Squad) will come to your apartment or house (you choose), position and calibrate 8 speakers throughout the room to provide you that one-of-a-kind Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound Theatre Experience. If you pick our Las Vegas Strip 4.2 Mile Walk, for example< you will hear street barkers shouting advertisements for buffets, the Bellagio Fountains, Cirque de Soleil actors sharing details of last evening’s performance, I don’t know, you may even hear Celine Dion walk right past you. A lot of this stuff is proprietary. 
Touch – there are essentially unlimited options here as well. For example, you decide you want our Western Oregon Coast Route (as opposed to the Eastern Oregon Coast Route, David?). 2 of our actors will be positioned supine (on their back) on either side of the treadmill randomly spitting/spraying saltwater (may need to be adjusted if COVID-phobic). Our Boston Marathon route will have several actors take turns running up alongside you and patting you on the back. They’ll read your treadmill screen and say something like, “Beautiful day, only 1 more mile to the finish line”. Something like that.Our focus groups have shared that the ‘tactile’ component of the treadmill was critical in separating us from our competitors.
Taste – maybe you’re on our Napa Valley Wine Trail 1.3 Mile Route and you choose to stop and pick fresh blackberries off the side of the trail. Or maybe you’ve chosen our Coney Island Boardwalk 2.1 mile Route. One of our ‘street vendors’ may try and shove a Nathan’s hotdog down your throat while you’re running. You know, fun stuff like that.
Smell – oh my goodness, our Augusta National Run in April is spectacular. The aroma of the Azaleas is so intense it’ll bring tears to your eyes. Or say you’re running by a Waffle House on our Indianapolis Suburb (you’re not allowed to stop ) we will have our actors making Belgian waffles in the back so the smells you will be taking in are 100% real. (We will want to know about your allergies at the time of treadmill purchase).
Temperature – how cool is this – one of the actors will be manning your thermostat. Say you want to run along the Rio de Janeiro Carnival Route – we’ll have the actor crank your home up to 97 degrees. You won’t have to worry about a thing, the actor does it.Or maybe you want to be one of our brave customers who virtually runs on ALL 7 continents. For your Antarctica Run (we need to know 30 mins ahead), we will drop your home temp down to 50 (careful, most pipes burst at 55). With a bunch of “borrowed” ICU hypothermic blankets, we can cool your tread down to 17 degrees.It doesn’t feel like you’re running on ice, you are LITERALLY running on ice. (We do ask our ‘World Runners’ to sign an additional waiver.) 
Does all this make sense?Great.
Look I don’t want to give it all away.I hope you’ll agree with me that our R&D team has really hit a home run.It’s funny how sometimes the simplest ideas aren’t taken.
What would you be willing to pay for this incredible treadmill?But, wait!Before I tell you, let me remind you it’s Walk with a DocTM – there will be a physician with you on all of your walk/runs!Now, what would you guess?Wrong.
This one-of-a-kind treadmill has a one time cost of $4,999 with a monthly membership fee of $7,499. Think of the money you’ll save on vacations!
Our marketing division acknowledged a couple of you may initially be a little surprised at the membership dues, as all our WWAD events are free. Look, all I can say is this thing comes with 4 actors (who btw will need a place to stay), a physician, a full costume department, a lot of props and a he** of a lot of groceries (we’ll need fridge space).*Membership fee does not include utility bills.Please email bryan@walkwithadoc.org with any concerns.
Have a great Friday!!!David
