BitGym: Treadmill Cycling Erg

It is really a great app that makes the running joyful. Only thing I would want from this app could be the connection to apple health app, so I could record my activities there.

Very nice app

Though some problems in the offline mode, works like a charm on my bike. Measurements are quite accurate. Bring back life, my old Life Fitness bike. The only negative comment i have is price!

I’m not a super-athlete and I’m not very competitive, but I do want to develop a consistent exercise habit. I get bored easily, so when I bought my exercise-bike, I wanted an app that would let me ride in exotic places all over the world, as if I was really there. This app does exactly that! I’ve tried 3 rides so far, and they’ve all been gorgeous. I keep going long past the point where I would have gotten bored and stopped if I was just watching TV. I find this kind of “sightseeing” very motivating and enjoyable. I now look forward to my nightly ride There are a few things missing though. I would like the ability to mark certain rides as favorites, so I can easily find them and do them again. I would like the ability to search the available tours by location, and by how long they are. For example: “show routes in Japan that are 30 minutes or less”. Etc. And I’d like the ability to rate each tour after I’m done, and to see other users’ ratings when I’m choosing my next ride. I hope these features get added in the future, but I still love this app. The HD video and real sound recorded on location are totally immersive. Project onto your TV and you’re riding through an adventure movie! I look forward to even more and better choices with future updates.

I started BitGym way way back like all things when it was a lot cheaper membership along the way I stop and started over 10 years now I’ll pay the higher membership for the greatness!!! Always beautifully done 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Update: 6/9 Today I tried again & was able to complete a workout, but still A lot of buffering….. I re-subscribed to this app on 6/30 and got in a few short Workouts..then did update a day or so after and now everything Is terrible….freezing, buffering, tours won’t load, HOWEVER, Free tours without signing in work just fine…so I guess I spent $13.99 for nothing….so disappointing…. I won’t renew unless Something changes.

Please stop emailing me! I keep unsubscribing but the next day I still receive emails.

I have tried other tour videos but BitGym is the best in my opinion. From selection to quality to quantity to customer service. They rate high is all areas. I have been with BitGym from the very early years and I can say they started out good and just keep getting better. Thanks BitGym for helping to make my workouts enjoyable.

This is a fantastic app. The tours are interesting, hi-res and smooth, not jerky and lo-res like the JRNY app. There is just the right amount of commentary. I went for 20 minutes this morning wanting to go longer. It has tempted me to buy a 4K monitor to stream to! The body motion detection is great too. I tried to fake it out by moving my arms. No go. It made me do jumping jacks - ha! It doesn’t actually connect to my Bowflex machine so it can’t detect the resistance level, so the calorie count is probably an average. For heart rate, I connect it to my Apple Watch via another app, Echo Watch Heart Rate Monitor, that acts as a bridge between the watch, my iPhone and my iPad. Everything works seamlessly. The only request I’d make is the ability to favorite a particular tour.

All this time, and still no Watch app… I’ve been using this app since 2017, (wow… makes me feel “old” 😝), participated in the beta program during the huge transition to the current layout, and it still baffles me that there is STILL no Watch app. I was so ecstatic when the tv app was released as I was thinking/hoping a watch companion was coming along with it… but, alas, years later, and still nothing. I really love the VERY well-designed, beautifully-made programs and constant updates (which I why I still feel this is the best app over others in this category), but it can get pretty annoying trying to get things syncing precisely. When traveling—and using hotel, or other gym equipment—trying to start your iPhone/iPad, the treadmill, elliptical, etc., AND your watch all at the same time is a feat of acrobatics. Another this I have NEVER been able to get the app to sync with gym equipment either because it’s not compatible, or the location has disabled features to prevent certain functionality… which even more of a reason to have a watch app. I’m not sure what it is with workout apps not making a Watch companion. And, many of the ones that do, half 🍑 it. This is why I love Crunchy Bagel (makers of the ‘Streaks Workout’ app): they have an app for Watch, iPhone, iPad, and tv, and—no matter what device you use—once you open the watch app, it recognizes your other device, you tap on the button to sync, and (during your workout) all your metrics are shown on your watch. When you’re done, everything is synced to the Activity/Fitness and Health apps on any compatible devices. They’ve been doing this since the release of their app years ago (even before Apple introduced the new features when they released Fitness+) and I’m just wondering why no one else is doing it. I really hope this is the year BitGym makes my dreams come true. *[and, hopefully, when I finally get the Apple Vision (Pro), this app’ll be waiting for me there, too!]
