Whether on iFIT enabled equipment or the iFIT app - your heart rate only will show up once you are in the actual workout - no heart rate for you in the warm up - annoying if you want to be sure that the device you have chosen to use has synced or not. Technologically I'm pretty knowledgeable, so researched a lot of options, but it all boiled down to the following. So I am doing iFIT classes on iFIT enabled equipment, and on my tablet when the equipment is not iFIT enabled (the bike and the elliptical). I own a x22i iFIT enabled treadmill, an Ironman Ascender Elliptical, and my road bike is on an ascent fluid bike trainer. So after getting over my annoyance I started trying to figure out the best way to include heart rate in my workouts. My initial thought was i paid a ridiculous amount of money for a x22i and they don't even have the touch sensor monitors, but then remembered how challenging it is trying to run and measure your pulse at the same time with those - I have it on my elliptical, and even there I'm not a huge fan even though I have to hold something on an elliptical. ![]() I also own a polar HR6, and HR7 heart rate monitors (these are the chest strap kind) and recently purchased the polar OH1 optical heart rate monitor (this uses technology similar to apple watch and fitbit to determine your pulse). I wear a fitbit all the time, and on runs, bike rides, or swims, use a tom tom sports watch. ![]()
