BitGym: Treadmill Cycling Erg App revisa

Cool but could you possibly add Oculus rift support?

Una increíble aplicación para entrenar y pasarla bien. Definitivamente una vez la pruebas y comienzas a ejercitarte quieres hacerlo una y otra vez. Es la primera vez que encuentro una aplicación que cumple con mis expectativas y me atrevo a decir que la supera. 100 % recomendable.

I love this app - I use it on my iPad with an external monitor for extra vivid video. It helps to motivate me to keep up with my workouts. There are so many beautiful and fascinating places to explore. There’s no way a VR app can match the variety and the realistic details of these tours.

My go to when I can’t hit the trails outside! Worth every penny I paid on it!

Update 2024: Finally an Alaska trail!!! This app is excellent - I use it on rainy/snowy days at home, in gyms, and on cruise ships during those long at-sea days. Hope to see more of Alaska soon plus Sabino Canyon in Arizona!! 🏔️🌵 2017: Just got a home treadmill with an iPad holder and discovered this app looking for something to watch like NordicTrack's iFit. I didn't need iFit & this app works great. The video runs faster than I'm walking and that pushes me to go. Alaskan trails are definitely needed!

I’ve been a subscriber for around 3 years and I love BitGym. I have a tv in front of my treadmill and rowing machine. The app has hundreds of tours on land (for running), roads (cycling) and water (rowing) although you can use any tour with any exercise machine. The tours can take you all over the world and the video quality is outstanding. It makes working out in any exercise machine a lot more enjoyable. I also want to emphasize that the support team is outstanding. They will help sort any issues that may arise. Although I have to admit that all the issues I’ve had are due to me not being very tech savvy, not from the app itself. Bottom line I am very happy I became a member. Great quality and great price. The app does have some guided/coached tours. I can’t comment on those as I prefer tours that have only the natural sound of the area. If I had to criticize something is that I wish tours were longer. They last 20-30 mins but the app takes you automatically to the next tour. Again I really enjoy BitGym. Worth every penny

The runs are fine, I love that it can tell your speed with the camera. I just dont need a coach talking at me, I want to pleasantly run. Great variety. I use nature sounds on my iPhone but the coach is still distracting.

Love it ❤️keep going stay strong 💪🏾❤️🙏🏾

I really want to use this app, but I find it so confusing. I know there are a few free tours to sample, but I can’t find any that are unlocked. There is a 14 day free trial, but when I signed up for that it turned into a 7 day free trial, and more expensive than shown initially. If you think I’m going to pay for an app that continues to push the purchase without letting me see what it is I am buying, you are on a whole different track than the one I am running. Please! I would enjoy this app. Let me sample the tours before you have credit info…I’m not giving you that first. If there are tours available free, do not make me search everywhere to try a couple. And get your pricing/free trial in order. You have a quality product according to those who recommended the app. ****** I am amending this review after support patiently explained how to use the app. I am enjoying the free trial right now, and will continue enjoying the tours after the trial has finished. The scenery is lovely, and the background sounds make the tour more immersive. The app is worth downloading if only to enjoy the free tours, but I do suggest the free trial so you can see all the choices.

Had some issues with no keyboard for entering password with AppleTV (second generation) but resolved it. Apple TV third generation works great. The videos are awesome!

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!]

I am loving try this app! So well done. Tried Santorini, Amalfi coast and Edinburgh so far. The videography is excellent and the camera sensor works perfectly well for my needs on my old elliptical. My only request is that it would be great to be able to search by name or alphabetically. I thought I saw a lake Bled water one and now I can't find it anywhere. One of the few fitness apps that makes me excited about using my equipment. No mean feet so very well done bitgym!! I am in the 14 day trial still but will subscribe without question and would love an annual option with a discount

My hip problems have stopped my distance runs that I need for my health. I enjoyed running to see what things I could see. Thanks to my BitGym I can now use my elliptical to workout without pain and have an enjoyable “run that eliminates the boredom” of the elliptical that I used to endure. Thanks BitGym for making my elliptical fun again!

This is the motivation I needed in the new year for getting my lazy butt on the treadmill. Every day I jog along a scenic trail! Really enjoy my workout time now.

ButGym just keeps getting better and better. And I hope that continues like it has. I love the app. I became a lifetime subscriber. Highly recommend it.

I thought I would like the quiet of the BitGym trails vs iFIT. With the latter you have nearly continuous banter that is very repetitive and not that informative. In the end, I liked iFIT better BUT I won’t go back until they start adding new hiking trails

I do think the app works well, not quite as good as more comprehensive fitness apps , but it works. But now, with the price increase, it just doesn’t seem to be something I will use as there are other choices for the same price or cheaper. I have been using BitGym for years and it was always something I would use if I wanted guided exercise. But, alas I will have to rethink my use of the app.

I love this App… so many places I will never be able to see. Love how they give history along with the trails. Makes the time go fast. Walking is once again enjoyable. Thank you Bitgym

I really enjoy this app. The locations are amazing and are beautifully filmed. It’s nice to feel that I am walking or cycling in a real location, and this motivates me to exercise. Especially great for when I want to take a relaxing walk and enjoy the scenery! Room for improvement: 1) It would be really helpful to have the app track the distance (in miles and/or km) that I have walked or cycled, or at least tell me the total distance of the trail that I’m on. There’s no information on this, even though it is tracking my time and speed. I don’t want to do math at the end of my walk, and would also love to easily view the distance I walked when I check my history. 2) I would like to be able to filter trails by distance/time. I know there are check points, so I could technically stop whenever and pick it back up. However, I like the satisfaction of being able to complete a trail! The time estimate also hasn’t been accurate for me, and you can imagine that the time would not be the same if I was cycling vs. walking a particular trail. I feel it would be a big improvement if it was sorted by miles and km. 3) When I try to mirror the app onto the TV, it lags a lot. Other apps work fine when mirrored, so I don’t think the issue is on my end. I’ve had to stick to using my iPad for BitGym, but would love to see the beautiful views on a bigger screen! I wonder if the issue has to do with the app pausing on the iPad when it mirrors onto the TV? Most apps will continue to run on both devices at the same time, so I can look at either the iPad or the TV. 4) BitGym says it will connect to Apple Health and gives an option to turn this on under “Profile”. I’ve done this, but data isn’t transferring like it does from other apps. I would also love to be able to connect to Strava and Garmin Connect. This is where I track most of my workouts. 5) I would love a section in the app that shows which trails I have started, but not completed. This way, if I do want to pick up at a checkpoint, I can easily find the trails that are partway finished. (I also would like seeing a section in the app for completed trails, in case I want to more easily find a trail I have already done before! It’s also satisfying to view what I have accomplished!!) I hope some of this feedback is helpful, and I hope it doesn’t seem too critical. I just notice things that could improve my experience, and that I imagine other users could also appreciate! Thank you for this app and for making it available to those of us who don’t have super fancy equipment!! Best wishes! :)

I like that I don’t need to spend extra for sensors. Uses your camera to detect movement to run trails. I believe this is the first app I’ve seen used this kind of feature which makes it one of a kind! I have an small upright bike that does not support sensors so I couldn’t use other apps such as Zwift and Jacfit. This gives me the closest feel to a real time ride. I also like the coaching and guided tours. Very pleased with it.

Loving the app and the different tours. Was wondering if there is a way to filter based on the length of the tours? I’m hoping there is a way. If not, can we work on creating a filter for that? I am also still wondering how you record this because on one of the tours? There was a path but not one that a bike could get through. Think we were in Canada or Iceland?

In the past I would get bored on the stationary bike or treadmill. I love to explore the outdoors but sometimes it’s not possible because of weather or temperature etc. This is the solution! The fitness coaches and music keep me motivated and the time flies by. I also love traveling and the view on these virtual tours are absolutely stunning. It’s like I am there in person exploring all of these exotic locations for a fraction of the cost of actually getting on a plane and traveling there. I’m really hoping it will help me with my fitness goals also for losing some weight. Love this app!

The improvements, tweaks, and upgrades your team has made to the app over the years has increasingly made it a pleasure to own and use! It shows the best of usage of virtual reality. Thank you for a fantastic product. Keep tweaking it.! Customer for life, Hank, Paul.

Highly motivating, immersive experience that helps me work on my cardio goals. Been using with stationary bike, elliptical and treadmill. Love that it matches my speed and is also a great way to keep track of my progress.

I absolutely LOVE this app, and it’s enabled me to actually look forward to getting on my stationary bike, even though I loathe exercise. I’m no longer bored; I just start pedaling through a beautiful piece of scenery, listening to the location sounds, and the time just flies. I’d say this app is among the Top 5 positive influences on my life! In addition, the customer service has been astounding. I found a tiny bug a few months ago (captions cut off when using a Lightning to HDMI adapter to my TV screen). I sent in a query, got an immediate response telling me the issue would be fixed in the next release, and it was! Thanks so much for everything, BitGym.

I love the running destinations and the customizations of run time. I remained motivated to exercise using this app. You won't be disappointed!

I love these videos, unfortunately my account has been locked and I don’t know why I have had my account for several years, I need help to restore my account. I need my exercise.

Not a fan of the price for a peloton and other similar apps. I can’t say that I am a big fan of the stationary bike. When I can’t get outside in nature for a run, walk, or ride, this is my go-to app. The coach mode really helps me push my level and encourages me to get in a real workout. Without it, I think I would not push myself nearly as hard. Camera sensor does an ok job of tracking my pace but not required. I like to mirror my phone to the tv so I can see nature on the larger screen. It almost feels like I am riding outside. I like how they keep adding more scenes but would like to see more! If you need help taking shots of the great outdoors, give me a call! Would love to have a way to upload my own scenes.

I’m stumped as this is a good app that runs well- but why oh why have they not added Apple Watch and Apple Health sync? How about Strava sync? I want to track my workouts

Muy buena esta app

Video and SPM are not in sync on some videos, video anomalies at the end of some videos. This app could be SO much better. It’s a shame. Been using it for a long time because there’s really nothing else out there. Makes me want to learn how to code and write my own app to include what this is missing. Active Theory you can make this better!

This is a great way to exercise

Seems that be a great tour for a old guy to get back at spinning. Just starting short time and slow.

What is not to love? I can travel, run, row around the world. I can choose a guided tour, coached run or just be on my own with my music to motivate me. Pairs with my polar HR monitor. I’ve had my membership for years and this app does not disappoint! They continue to add places- this app helps us to pick vacation spots!

Years ago I purchased a tripod that could hold my iPad up in front of me while I walk on my treadmill. Why not just place it down like a book? Because then the BitGym app can’t pick up my movements while I walk. So I found this device to hold my iPad. Perfection! BitGym is so fun to use while I play my favorite music… I can “walk all over the world.” I also use it on my recumbent bike and have Velcro on the back of my iPad to make sure it stays put when I use it there. :) This app is worth it!! Try it out and see how fun it is!

I enjoy!!!all the positive and encouraging coaching!! This app is a motivator. Thank you to everyone who created this app for a healthier life style to stay alive longer!! Blessings your way!, Marysol Carino 💚💚💚💚

Bitgym is a great asset to my indoor workouts! Adds a touch of adventure as well!!!

I think I have been on every diet…and had joined numerous gyms. Went from not being able to walk up a flight of stairs without losing my breath and being in pain. Now….I am able to ride bike outside….I row and use my elliptical machine with my BitGym app…Love all the tours…. I love BitGym and tell anyone that will listen…. Thank you for my new Life!

Was working ok till they updated on my fire tablet waiting for further help was told they were releasing a new version soon

This app is saving my life. The treadmill is so boring, so when I am stuck running inside this app is so awesome and enjoyable.

I am enjoying my treadmill daily walks. Each tour is an adventure.

This used to be a great app, but after the last update, motion tracking constantly freezes and shows no motion detected. Nothing on my side has changed and this was fine before the update. For the developers: I have tried adjusting the lighting in the room and using contrasting clothing colors from my background (light on dark and dark on light) to improve contrast. I have even cleaned the camera lens.

I love this app— the videos are so beautiful I want to work out longer! I also enjoy the informational banners. Truly wonderful to bike in New Zealand, row in Oahu, travel on Crete and Santorini. The sound tracks are great too.

I was a huge advocate. The latest update has messed with IOS speed tracking with my iPhone. Very disturbing to have your eyes thinking you are going one speed … then doubling speed. …then a quarter speed when you have not changed your pace.

Works just turns and nothing happens. On my Apple TV and iPhone. Just the world, nothing else. Hope the bug gets fixed soon because it seems like it’s be a cool application.
