Peloton has announced that it’s making a change to how its services hook in toApple Watchdata, although it’s not one that will necessarily alarm everyone.
Starting 27 February, it will moveApple Watchusers over from GymKit to its own Peloton One-Tap tracking.
Gymkit was effectively Apple’s first serious tilt at gym metrics, letting its Apple Watch models exchange data in real time with equipment, so it’s no surprise that a connected service like Peloton was on board with it.
This presumably means the end of that monthly payment, although this doesn’t mean everyone’s left happy – particularly those who own or are paying off aPeloton Bike+, which for a while was sold with GymKit as a particular USP.
AReddit thread on the situationis pretty much full of annoyed and disillusioned Peloton users who feel this hasn’t been handled very cleanly or transparently.

This integration lets your Apple Watch detect the start of a workout on your Peloton equipment and prompt you to tap to start tracking, so in theory it should work great for most people.
In theory though, you should get all the same metrics and tracking using either system, so no one will be short-changed in terms of data. However, it might be a little harder to find all of that data, since some of it will now reside in the Peloton app rather than being automatically shared to Health.
