In an email sent to users Monday evening, Peloton revealed that starting February 27th, it will start transitioning Apple Watch users from GymKit to Peloton One-Tap tracking. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
GymKit integration was once marketed by Peloton as an exclusive perk<\/a> of its more expensive Bike Plus<\/a>, but it\u2019s become less of a draw in recent years. The company launched an Apple Watch integration<\/a> in 2022 that brought Apple Watch calorie and heart-rate tracking to any Peloton machine, similar to many other fitness apps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n As a result, if you linked your Peloton to an Apple Watch more recently, you may not even notice the change. The company has been directing users<\/a> to only use GymKit if they haven\u2019t installed the latest software updates on their machines.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Like GymKit, Peloton\u2019s app integrates data from each workout to Apple\u2019s Health app. As with GymKit, you can still track distance and pace and see your heart rate metrics on screen. It\u2019s just not using Apple\u2019s proprietary fitness equipment API, so if you have the latest updates installed, things shouldn\u2019t change much.\u00a0However, it\u2019s still understandable that people who bought the more expensive Bike Plus for GymKit integration that\u2019s now disappearing will feel upset about the change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
