When paired with the Apple Watch, the Bike Plus also displays users' heart rates on the screen. People can also try a cross-training workout, but that might not capture the entirety of the workout, either. Now, users will have to find a way to track these trickier workouts, like starting a cycling workout, ending it, switching to a strength-training workout, ending it, and so on. It's the first piece of hardware from the connected fitness company to support GymKit, and the direct Apple Watch integration makes tracking workouts easy, especially during Bike Bootcamp, which fuses cycling and strength exercises. This change is a disruptive one for users who might have purchased the Bike Plus specifically for its GymKit support. Trying to track this without the integration would require people to start and stop cycling and strength workouts back and forth or use another type of workout to track things at the cost of accuracy. The Bike Bootcamp classes blend cycling and strength workouts, so it was handy to have GymKit integration. A Peloton spokesperson confirmed to The Verge today that GymKit no longer works with Bike Bootcamp classes and instead will "only be available in cycling classes for now." The spokesperson also said: "Peloton is committed to bringing the GymKit integration to all workouts and disciplines within Apple's terms of service," seemingly suggesting bootcamp workouts didn't fall under those terms. But now, the company's pulling back some of that functionality. Peloton debuted its Bike Plus with a much-desired feature: GymKit support. According to the report, the Apple Watch will no longer sync with the device for Bike Bootcamp classes.
