You can (and many Peleton members do) just start a workout on the Apple Watch's Workout app whenever you take a class. It is more or less tracking the same thing, except your workout will show as "Indoor Cycle" or whatever instead of "Alex's 20 minute Hip Hop Ride".
- maccard 5y agoYou can also "just" follow a youtube spinning class on a turbo trainer. The point of smart fitness devices is so that I don't have to put my diet, workout and schedule into 3 different tools and merge them myself.
- pwthornton 5y agoThe one thing you lose is heart rate tracking on the Peloton. With GymKit, your Apple Watch tracks your heart rate as you work out and displays it on the screen, along with which heart rate zone you are in (1-5). It shows what percentage of your max heart rate you are using at any one time and gives you a heart rate graph readout when you are done. You could just use a third party heart rate tracker to accomplish this, but that's one more thing to put on.
- tannedNerd 5y agoYou could also use an app like BlueHeart to do it. It fakes a BLE HR tracker on your phone while pulling the data form your watch, so that you still get your HR data on the big screen.
- ericlewis 5y agowait, my peloton came with a heart tracker that integrates directly with the peloton. its chest strap model which is supposedly even more accurate.
- pwthornton 5y agoThey sell different packages and some come with a chest strap. I got just the bike and shoes. I already use an Apple Watch to track my heart rate for everything else, and it's been rated as accurate. But if you got a chest strap with it, that would 100% do the same thing. I like having one device that tracks my heart rate through all of the activities I do (including sleeping).
