Thanks, Cristobal and Dan, I have heard about these subscription based workout gadgets and that part doesn’t interest me at all, but it would be nice to have access to some of the information GymKit measures, I’ll continue to look into this a bit, as I said, I wouldn’t mind finding something, but if it takes another year and maybe by then GymKit makes its way into the home fitness equipment market that’s OK, too, I have a feeling Apple didn’t create this only for professional gyms.

Mainly to sync my workouts with the Nautilus app and Apple health. As far as actually manipulating the treadmill via my phone… It’s still the various buttons on the machine itself. I’ve got a Schwinn recumbent bike that I’ve had for going on 12 years and while I’ve looked into some stationary bike upgrades with Bluetooth, I can’t say there’s really been anything that’s jumped out at me. I’ll probably ride that bad boy until it gives up the ghost. I mean, there’s the Peloton line of equipment, but accessibility aside, it also comes with a premium price tag as well as a monthly subscription. Cristóbal From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Sunday, September 22, 2019 2:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Exercise equipment and GymKit Hi, My wife and I may be in the market for some sort of home gym equipment, most likely a stationary bike to start with. I am not in a big hurry with this and just thought I start checking into this and what works or does not work with the Apple ecosystem since we both have iPhones and Apple Watches, our new series 5 watches have shipped and I would certainly give priority to any equipment which supports this as long as it is also of good quality. One quick Google search brought up an apple Insider article about GymKit which was released 2 years ago, but while about 6 or 8 manufacturers are listed, the article also says that this for now is only available in professional equipment and is not available in home equipment. They mentioned one piece, can’t remember if it was a stationary bike or Stairmaster, but they said something about it costing $14,000 which is certainly beyond the budget of any normal home user. Maybe if you are a multi-millionaire and you can afford a home with a one or two thousand square foot home gym you could also afford to stock it with equipment of that nature, but while I am prepared to pay a premium for a premium piece of equipment which we would have for the next 10 or 15 years there are limits.
