Apple Watch users will find it easier to close their rings with Peloton. Today, the company said that the original Bike, Bike Plus, and Tread will now work with the Apple Watch. A Peloton blog says that when users start a class on the Bike, Bike Plus, or Tread, the Peloton watch app will let them know. It will also work for classes that started on the app. Users can also decide to start recording workouts on their own. If you turn it on, the Apple Watch can also track your heart rate so you can see your Strive Score in Peloton.
The Strive Score is a metric that tells users how much time they spend in a certain heart rate zone. It will also make it easier to record Peloton workouts in Apple’s Activity app. The integration doesn’t happen on its own, though. You have to go through a set-up process only once. First, make sure that both your phone (or tablet) and your Apple Watch have the Peloton app.
How to use Apple Watch with Peloton
As we said, the Peloton Digital app has an app that works with the Apple Watch. This means that when you start a workout on the Peloton Digital app, whether it’s strength, cardio, yoga, or one of the other options, your Apple Watch will automatically start a new workout and you’ll see metrics, like your heart rate, on your wrist. You’ll need to install the Peloton companion app on your Apple Watch for it to work, but other than that, it’s pretty easy to use.
It’s a lot like FIIT in that the type of workout and when it starts and stops are both taken care of automatically. If you have Peloton equipment, any workout you do on the Peloton companion app will show up on your profile and with any Bike, Bike+, Tread, or Tread+ workouts you do. The Peloton Digital app, on the other hand, can be used without Peloton equipment, just like FIIT and Apple Fitness+.
Steps to connect Apple Watch to Peloton

- Turn on “Detect fitness devices”
- Select a ride on the Peloton Bike+.
- Press “Start.”

What is Peloton
Fans of the Peloton, turn on your Apple Watches, or better yet, go buy one. The fitness company said Thursday that you can now connect an Apple Watch to your Peloton workouts. So, with just one tap on your watch, you can keep track of your workouts and how hard you worked out. “You can now track your performance during any Peloton workout on the Bike, Bike+, Tread, or App with just one tap on your Apple Watch,” Peloton wrote on its blog. “Connecting the Peloton App for Apple Watch to any workout on the Bike, Bike+, Tread, or App only takes one tap.
So, you can easily keep track of your Strive Score, watch your heart rate, and close your rings all in real time.” Peloton says that your watch app should now let you know when you’re about to start a workout. All you have to do is tap the alert to start keeping track of your workout. You can also open the Peloton app on your Apple Watch to start tracking on your own. Peloton will track your workout with the Apple Watch by using your heart rate. This will give you a Strive Score, which is a personalized number that tells you how hard you worked compared to other workouts. Visit their official website for more information.
