GymKit and Workout feedback from Siri

[PCtoMAC1]

Is anyone else having issues with equipment registering with GymKit? I have to turn GymKit off and on again for my watch to connect to Peloton.

On another note, Siri is no longer providing the verbal “exercise ring closed” or “move ring closed.” Is anyone else experiencing that?

Is this setting turned on? Watch app on iPhone -> Workout -> Voice Feedback

After installing OS 26, I had to reboot both my treadmill and watch (U2) a couple of times to get them to pair. After that, I went into the bluetooth settings on my phone and deleted the treadmill. No problems since then.

I have to reboot my AWU and Bike+ before half of my rides to get GymKit to work. It's never been 100% reliable for me, but it seems especially bad with watchOS 26.

And are you using workout buddy, bro?

Sorry for the delay. Yes, I’m using workout buddy, but the watch should still give audio feedback. TBC: workout buddy doesn’t work when connected to devices, only if used during specific workouts via the watch.

Interesting. I’ll try removing my Peloton from Bluetooth and see if that works! I can’t stand the pop up notifications asking me to link the watch after I connect to GymKit.

Yep only workout like running, walking, cycling, weight training and hiit works with that feature.

Connected to devices counts for AirPods or Bluetooth headphones.
