Hello all,
recently my treadmill, which I have been using for about 10 years now, died. Consequently, I am looking for a new one. Since I'm going to get a new one anyway, I thought it would not be bad if it would then also nativly be compatible with Apple Health or Gym kit. Online I only find limited information about fitting treadmills. In itself, I think the treadmill F75 from Sportstech is not bad. However, it did not say whether it is also compatible accordingly. Although it has a suitable app from wich I assume the Health kit app can draw the data from. However, that would not be a native integration, I think.
Furthermore, I have seen e.g. treadmills from Peloton, which offer this. Here, however, the prices start at 4000 € out to 24.000€ and I'm not sure what advantages this brings me compared to a F75.
 
Depending on the console you bundle it with, Life Fitness treadmills can support GymKit –
 
Peloton treadmills don't support GymKit, but the Peloton app for Apple Watch can be used as a heart rate monitor for the Peloton system in any Peloton workout. Works pretty well for me. The Peloton app on the phone can then send your workout data to Apple Health & your rings. I suspect it's not quite as slick as GymKit, but still gets the same information into Apple Heath/Rings.

I think at one point the Peloton Bike II supported GymKit but I believe they've dropped support.
 
I wanted to ask the same… so I’m just gonna sit here and wait for the recommendations 😀
 
I recently bought a Reebok GT40z. (NOT the GT40s)
My needs were bluetooth connectivity to iPhone and Apple Watch and an app that shares the data to Health, the GT40z works amazingly well for this.

The Reebok app even allows you to map a walk/run route on a map and it'll alter the incline accordingly. It doesn't save routes though which would be even better.
Kinomap and Swift compatible also.

It'll send the workout data to Apple Health and Fitness rings too.

Got it for £499 from sweatband.com in the Black Friday sales but if you keep an eye out it'll drop to that price on occasion.

We wanted one for when the weather is too wet for our daily long walks with the dog we started as part of losing weight back in May.
Great purchase my wife likens to when we got the Ninja Air Fryer. Game changers.

The Peloton Bike + still supports GymKit, but only for certain things.
