Integration with iFit

Can someone write the code to update the ionic to sync heart rate and calories with ifit during an Ifit cycle workout?

Hi @Greg9313 

 

In order to sync Fitbit data with iFit, iFit would need to use the Fitbit APIs and incorporate the data into their application.   I would recommend you reach out to them.   Also, I'll move your request to our Feature Suggestion board in case product management decides Fitbit wants to build, support and maintain an integration with iFit.

Hi @Greg9313 Thanks for sharing this suggestion about integrating your Fitbit data with iFit. Our web API and smartwatch SDK are open which means that the service you are wanting can actually integrate with Fitbit. We’d encourage you to make this suggestion to the service and direct them to our existing API and SDK and resources such as the web dev API community. You will likely be able to email them via their contact us page or customer support, or they may have their own ideas board like this. Or encourage them to reach out to Fitbit directly. Thanks for your participation in the Feature Suggestion forums, we look forward to making Fitbit more useful for you.

I see several posts from loyal FitBit community about integration and compatibility with iFit which is used by NordicTrak and ProForm as well as as others, the request started from what I can see in 2014. This is extremely disappointing that FitBit has not looked at evolving a partnership over the past 7+ years. As a loyal user of FitBit since the original launch and now considering upgrading my aging Blaze, I now need to start considering other brands for my next purchase as there seems to be a lack of willingness by FitBit to expand its partnerships. This is really disappointing as FitBit has been great to me over the years.

The Fitbit Treadmill activity tracking is way off for my Versa 3. I ran roughly 8 miles on my treadmill (Nordic Track with iFit) and my Fitbit said I ran less than 2 miles. I've run on the treadmill with and without selecting the treadmill activity option to see if the tracking was better or worse but it didn't make a difference.

Hi @jrbaird9, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to sync with iFit. This feature suggestion already exists, so I've moved it into a similar request. While we don’t currently have plans to release this feature, we always appreciate the passion and creativity that comes out of this Community. Since we know this idea is important to many of you, we have left voting open to continue tracking interest and will post another update if anything changes. To learn more about how Fitbit decides which suggestions get developed, visit our FAQs.

 

I hope to see you around.

allow Fitbit to sync with iFit so that we can get the accurate distance of the iFit trainer/exercise with the steps and heart rate from the Fitbit.

It seems illogical that fitbit can't talk to iFit or at least my Proform treadmill! They are all 3 leaders in the industry and surely can figure out how to work together.

Hi @mgcurtisthanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us about the possibility of integrating with iFit. I noticed that a similar feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your post here as it is not currently planned; you can also vote for this idea about the integration with Nordic app. This helps to keep the forums more organized and for the team of developers to continue to track popularity and demand over time.
