Peloton Reverses Course, Will Continue to Support Apple GymKit

Earlier this week, Peloton said that it would drop support for Apple's GymKit feature that syncs data to the Health app. Customers were unhappy with the decision and complained to the company, leading Peloton to announce a change in plans.

Peloton on Thursday said that after listening to member feedback on GymKit, the integration will continue to be offered.

Peloton wanted to stop offering GymKit integration in favor of the Peloton One-Tap tracking feature, but GymKit has been a key feature on the $2,500 Bike+ since its 2020 debut, and other Peloton machines since 2022.


The One-Tap tracking app does monitor distance, pace, and heart rate metrics, but only basic information is synced to the Apple Health app. With GymKit, data like cadence, average speed, and average power is also available in the Health app for Peloton users.

I just don't think I could ever justify spending a monthly fee on a piece of workout equipment that lives in my house. I'm so sick of subscriptions....

Peloton user since Jan 2020 here - still love it as much as ever
It's an industry leading product from a poorly run company. Software and UI are excellent. Hardware is adequate for home use. They need to slash overhead to survive. Cutting promised services is not the way.

So does this mean Apple’s purchase of Peloton is happening again? ?





That was meant as sarcasm, just in case you couldn’t tell
