When smart home gym equipment doesn't provide basic functionality without a subscription, it's anything but smart.
The closures of gyms and concerns over community spread of COVID-19 in the past two years has resulted in a meteoric rise in smart home gym equipment. Much of this technology is innovative, award-winning, and holds promise for the future. That’s a very good thing.
When it comes to something like an exercise bike, locking its functionality down behind a subscription is ridiculous. I tried out several, and each one would track distance, heart rate, and other health metrics during a class — but outside of a class, I could pedal all day long and it would record no information.
I’ll pay for a class, but metrics should be free Guided classes and connected gym equipment are great, especially if your friends also use them. It adds a competitive element that helps keep you motivated and striving for better and better scores, and it certainly has a place in the world of smart gym equipment.
